has anyone else having this issue with v12? if not can anyone help me figure out what is happening and how to fix this issue?
the files it says are missing are ucrtbased.dll and vcruntime140D.dll
Just download the activeX files specified and either install them (regsvr via cmd) or put them in the program's directory.

Have you run the Setup thing first before trying to run it? Uninstall any older versions of it you may have and then install.

i did what you said but i'm still getting the error... i know you're supposed to keep the cia name short but how short exactly? my original cia is 3 letters and the edited one i'm trying to make it 4 to differentiate...

What (and where) is the CIA?

Right here and it's the dlc for radiant historia...I wanted to do some experimenting with the files if it has any.

I've tried the mass extractor and extracting the cia by itself. The game itself also wont unpack properly here but unpacks fine in V9 (the game is a decrypted .3ds) the CIA im pretty sure is encrypted. either way it's only 33kb lol. But you should post in the front page what each version of the toolkit can and cant do.

*cough cough* An encrypted 3DS|CIA|CXI file (It can either be a game, game's update, system application, but anyways not a DLC file nor a DSi Ware!) *cough cough*

I will add the info, not a bad idea

It says it's a 64bit... I noticed with the setupus.exe it looked like it skips ahead near the end of the installation process.... It takes longer on the older versions than this one...

Windows 10 x64 v1709. On the rebuild stage it reports a bunch of errors about a few missing DLLs and doesn't rebuild anything.

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol

    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be
