Okay, well, I was using Snes9x 1.51 on my old computer because neither 1.52 not 1.53 would work properly (1.53 wouldn't open at all, not even an error message, and 1.52 gave an error when loading a ROM and would only load the audio, not the video). Only 1.51 ran without problems. Recently, I got a new computer, and now, on Snes9x 1.51, the audio has an annoying crackle that it didn't have before.
So, I try 1.53 to see if the sound still crackles or not. After all, it's a new computer, and it might actually run this time, right? Nope. It refuses to open and gives me this error:
"The program can't start because d3dx9_38.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
Now, I hear that simply installing the latest DirectX runtime fixes this, it's just that I'm afraid that this will fix Snes9x but break some other game or emulator that I use. Should I be worried about that? According to dxdiag, I have DirectX 11.
My operating system is Windows 7 64-bit, with an Intel Core i3-2120 CPU, and Intel HD integrated graphics. I have Realtek High Definition on-board audio.
