.exe does not work on Windows

[Rulas-star]

Good afternoon. First of all, thank you for the work you've done. I have a question. I only downloaded the .exe file, I run it, and the screen stays black; nothing happens. Do I need to install anything else? Thank you very much.

Thanks for your feedback!
The black screen at startup is normal! deepRoulette takes a few seconds to load the AI model when you run the .exe. No extra installation is needed, and all required files are bundled. Just wait a bit and the menu will appear. Startup is slower than running from source code because the AI and dependencies are packed inside the executable. If it stays black for more than a minute or never loads, please let me know!
