Hi.

I had the same problem as you did but there is a simple solution.
Simply type the file name into a google search and download it once you find it. Your going to want to put the file in your main epsxe directory. That should solve the problem.

Thank you ^^ i downloaded the file . . . but where should i put it . . . idk what the main directory would be lol. i just put the file in the folder i downloaded epsxe to . . . like i said im not very bright haha

make sure to use this link (http://zlib.net/) as some variants are out there. Best to always use the official lib..anyways put it in in your system32 folder or the psx folder.

thanks ill use that site, i searched my comp for system 32 but cant find the folder . . .lol i am on lolvista which seems to make everything jumbled, could that be a problem?

[ulaoulao]

If you have a windows system ( xp or vista ) its c:\windows\system32 Other wise c:\winnt\system32 ( but I dont think its there )

If you dont have this folder you should not be able to do much, considing it cant boot with out it. ;) Like I said you can also put it in the main emulator folder.

haha i put a space in it so couldnt find it . . . well i tried in the main folder, and in system32 and it still gives me the same message =/ so any ideas now? lol

[Holland Guy]

have you unzipped the file (if it's in a zip folder, that is...)

[ulaoulao]

Holland Guy, good call ;)

[JacautXE]

lol yeah was a good call but i did extract it . . .

You know what is weird. I got this error last night. I needed to open up epsxe to test something. I never got this error before. I downloaded zlib and put the dll in the epsxe folder and the problem was fixed. What a coincident.

Ok do this.

Right click on epsxe.exe and go to properties.
Highlight the location line.
Copy it and paste it in here.

Do the same for zlib..

I want to see you directory structure.

[JacautXE]

C:\Program Files = epsxe
C:\Windows\system32 = zlib

lol i jynxed you maybe . . .

[ulaoulao]

C:\Program Files = epsxe
C:\Windows\system32 = zlib - Ok epsxe should be C:\Program Files\epsxe not C:\Program Files

If it is in C:\Program Files.. I would reinstall it to its own dir.. Also put zlib in the same dir and make sure they both say C:\Program Files\epsxe

[JacautXE]

ty ty ty got it working. it wouldnt let me put it in progamfiles\epsxe so i reinstalled it to documents instead and downloaded the dll in there and it works just fine =D now outta curiosity anyway to get a memory save from my memory card to my computer? lol i know there is a item for ps3 that uses a usb cord, would that work?

[ulaoulao]

Yeah there stuff out there. Even DIY kits.. http://www.raphnet.net/electronique/psx_cardmgr/psx_cardmgr_en.php
