I've downloaded and extracted the P64 file but when I try to run it it says 'the default or selected input plugin is missing or invalid' then it says 'failed to load plugin... jabo_dinput.dll' and 'failed to load nrage_dinput8_v2.dll'. WHY? I have these files, they're located in the plugins diretory!!!!

Check your drivers for your gfx card, also make sure that you have at least direct x 8.1.

i presume you downloaded pj64 1.5 find this file right click on it then click explore.is the plugin folder there?
if not download it again but dont extract, open instead as it has its own installer

Still don't work

I have win 98 if I right click on it (in explorer I presume) there is no such option as 'explore'. In any case I'm aware that's it's a self extracting file and opened it as such. It created it's own folders n stuff and I even created the new ones that are suggested by a certain site, roms, save and screenshots, but noooooooo.... it still doesn't work!

Try to re-download it from www.pj64.net (or pj64.emulation64.com )

The directory shouldn't be "plugins" it should be "plugin"

I had the same problem just recently, after I downloaded new plugins to experiment with them. (Jabo and Zilmar were right-the default ones are the best ) Then that dialog popped up. The only way I could figure of to fix it was to uninstall PJ64, then reinstall it by clicking on PJ64.exe.

I had that problem after reinstalling windows, I solved it by installing direct x 9

Click to expand...

He already specified that it was in the same location. It gives that error sometimes. I odn't know what he can do to fix it, but mine was fixed by reinstalling direct x.
