Missing DirectX files

A lot of retro games and emulators need DirectX 9.0c to run, otherwise you get an error message like d3dx9_43.dll missing or d3dx9_39.dll is missing. Windows 8 and 10 come with DirectX 11 and 12 by default (which does not include DirectX 9.0c and previous versions), so you might need to install DirectX 9.0c manually. When you've done that, you can also enable Direct Play.

So how do you install DirectX 9 on a Windows 10 computer? Installing DirectX 9.0c on Windows 10 is safe, because DirectX 9.0c can co-exist with the DirectX versions which are already installed on your Windows system. Nothing will be overwritten and everything will keep working as it should. So let's get started! First download the files, then extract them, and finally install them.

Where do you download DirectX 9.0c?

• Create an empty folder, for example c:downloadsDirectX9
• Create another folder files in the DirectX9 folder, in this example c:downloadsDirectX9files
• Go to the Microsoft download center for DirectX End-User Runtimes (2010) and click the download button
• Uncheck all recommended software/features and see if the download summary on the right only says 1. DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010)
• Click on the No thanks and continue button on the right
• Choose to Save the downloaded file (directx_Jun2010_redist.exe), save it in your folder, in this example c:downloadsDirectX9
