About a month or two ago I downloaded ZOLE and just started messing around, experimenting with it. I couldn't get very far because of a serious problem I encountered: Whenever I try to start ZOCF, Windows instantly informs me that it "has stopped working". This is on a 64-bit, Windows 7 computer. I have tried the common solutions for weird errors I know of, such as "run as administrator" and compatibility mode. I've tried re-downloading the files, and again just now, but to no avail. I searched the forums to see if anyone else had this problem, and apparently nobody has, which also worries me.

I attached the files that the crash report says "help describe the problem" to this post, just in case they're somehow helpful. I can't make sense of them, myself.

Download ZOTE and take the GBHL.dll file out of it and put it in a separate folder with ZOCF. ZOCF needs a ROM in the same folder as it to start up (unless you drag a ROM into it). This will be fixed in the future.

The reason being is ZOLE Live required a new build of the GBHL.dll file and only ZOLE Live and ZOLE 4 were distributed with this new version and ZOCF/ZOTE/ZOSE (for now) require the older one. There is no visible way to tell which is which, even with the version number.

It works! The strangest thing is that none of the other things (ZOSE and ZOTE) crashed with the wrong dll. I guess that might be because I never tried to use them beyond just glancing at them, though.

Now I feel pretty stupid. Also, thank you for helping me join the forums. I'll try to have a less dumb question next time.

Nah it's not a stupid question since it was hardly your fault. You didn't have control over it and it was only mentioned in the update log for version 1.24.
