How to get PPSSPP started on Windows 7 Ultimate?

[Vampire]

I have a few ISOs and am trying to play PSP games on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit but when i try to start the emulator it gives me this message:
"Insufficient OpenGL driver support detected!
Your GPU reports that it does not support OpenGL 2.0, which is currently required for PPSSPP to run.
Please check that your GPU is compatible with OpenGL 2.0. If it is, you need to find and install new graphics drivers from your GPU vendor's website."
Please tell of how to get it started

http://www.ppsspp.org/downloads.html#devbuilds , get latest build from buildbot and use D3D9 backend

But how to use D3D9 backend? I have read in the forum that it can used if i change in ppsspp.ini file. But i cannot find the ppsspp.ini file in my computer

[Adhenovan]

can you open the ppsspp ? , go to graphic options and you will find the options

You need to update your GPU driver.

[Adhenovan]

what is the version ? are you sure that version is dev build ? you can find ini file on this directory PPSSPP/memstick/PSP/System/ppsspp.ini

It will not show that message if you use the latest git build. If you get that message, you have not successfully downloaded the latest git build per Adhenovan's instructions, or you are not trying to run the git build if you did download it.

Okay i have the latest build same but now it says MVSCP120.dll is missing. I have Windows 7 64 bit so should i download vcredist_x64.exe or vcredist_arm.exe??

[Bigpet]

You can install both vcredist_x64.exe and vcredist_x86.exe (to be able to run both the 32 and 64 bit version of ppsspp) and vcredist_arm.exe won't install and is not necessary

[Vampire]

Okay i got it. Now it says PPSSPP HAS STOPPED WORKING..Windows check online etc. I used D3D9 as graphics

Update your DirectX 9 runtime then, and your GPU drivers if possible (since I find it weird that Win7 would be missing DX9 dlls, but who knows)
