OpenBOR opens for a second, then closes immediately.

The only game I can get to work is TMNT Shell Shocked (which is amazing btw).

I have Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit.

Am I missing a step?

Welcome to Chronocrash!

OpenBOR keeps a log, and in the event of a shutdown will record whatever the issue was, unless there was truly a crash - which is almost never the case. Send us the log text and we'll see what's up.

Awesome!  Where do I access the log?

Open it up in the logs folder and open Openborlog.txt and check what cause the crash.

It's giving very similar messages in the logs for the 6 other games I tried... All's I did was download the games and open the Openbor.exe. There must be a simple step I'm overlooking

Are you sure it's full? If not, you have to copy everything completely from that log for us to see what the real problem is. Right now, it looks partial, so that means we don't know what error you have that causes the crash.

 

[irrelevant_pelican]

It is full. Here's a screen shot of the contents of the .txt file:

remove one or two joysticks from usb port and it will work

 

[irrelevant_pelican]

I only have wireless controllers. I have an official wireless usb xbox 360 dongle though. I need that for my controller so I can't unplug that.

 

[rafhot]

in your log file says that you have 5 joysticks

i had this same problem when i used all my joysticks at the same time, then i remove all and everything worked fine

you should have a maximum of four joysticks

 

[irrelevant_pelican]

How can I remove a joystick k that's not plugged in? I don't have any wired controllers only wireless.

 

[rafhot]

i think you have old joypad drivers installed that causing it and counting as 5

in device mananger you can edit them and once you have 4 joysticks listed in the log the game will run
