INSTALL additional software (required) The VPVP page recommends that you download and install: Regular MikuMikuDance(32-Bit) 64-Bit MikuMikuDance It is critically important to have those packages installed in your system. MMD will not run properly without them, and will not accept higher versions of the same as a proper replacement¹. The majority of comments asking for help about MMD acting wrong will be countered with “Have you DirectX 9.0c and MS Visual C++ runtimes installed?” inquiry, and more likely than not, resolving these will resolve your problem as well. ¹ The above does not mean you have to rollback higher versions of these libraries (that you most probably have) in favor of more obsolete ones. Runtime packages are products specifically designed to be able for all versions to coexist on the same machine. |

We still have available for download the old 2010 release of the…
Original DirectX MMD 7.39 version:
Click the button to download the MikuMikuDanceE_v739.zip file from LearnMMD.com
MMD 7.39 runs great on XP computers and the newer systems, as well.
You can visit the VPVP page https://sites.google.com/view/evpvp/ and see what is there. MMD 7.39 used to be the Version 1.3 on that page. MMD 7.39 is removed and only the latest version of MMD is available there.
There is no “install” … just run it from your desktop. Have fun with it … Hurry back to LearnMMD.com for the information you need to get started with Miku Miku Dance.
You can Download Previous Versions of MMD…
LearnMMD.com still has EVERY version of DirectX MMD available for download… every version since 2010’s MMD 7.39 was released. You can download previous versions of MMD from LearnMMD.com
Upgrade DirectX_9 if you get the Missing DLL Error
This link at Microsoft is proven to work for all Windows versions … XP thru Windows 10 … I hope it works for you!
That DirectX runtime is now hosted on a Google-Drive page by VPVP.
IMPORTANT!
Most likely you have the higher version of DirectX installed on your computer by now. The common mistake is to update it to the latest release and expect it to solve your problems. Well, it won’t. MMD requires very specific files that are no longer distributed by default, so if you have the “missing dll problem“, you *need* to install the redistributable pack listed here. Do not worry, it won’t overwrite your newer DirectX install!
Fix the “Cannot find MMDxShow.dll” error
Download MMDxShow.dll Zip… Reggie’s personal copy!
Try this fix for the Cannot find MMDxShow.dll Error message. RENAME your old MMDxShow.dll file (if you have one) so you still have it in case this fix doesn’t work for you. Then download MMDxShow.dll from LearnMMD.com … drop it into your DATA folder inside the main MMD folder.

Additional software
Download an English version of PMX / PMD EDITOR
PMDE / PMXE is a software that lets you adjust or modify your MMD models. You can even create new models from scratch!
The last version of PMD Editor that we recommended was the 039 version by ibozo, available from his dA page. Though not perfect, it worked and was easy to use.
Today… we recommend PMXE ver. 0254f
PMXE in English: PMXE 0254f
Be sure to UNBLOCK the zip before you Extract all (just right-click the zip folder, choose “properties” and check UNBLOCK).
PLEASE NOTE: the PMD Editor is discontinued and won’t be updated past the ibozo 0139 version. PMXE is a continuation of PMDE, working with more advanced formats of MMD models and allowing loads of new possibilities! This new version of PMXE in English is more modern and offers many new features, so we recommend to learn it and preferably convert your models to .pmx format. The PMXE link above leads to a currently latest 0254f version of the editor, translated to English. If you prefer to use an unmodified Japanese version (or eager to check whether a newer release had been made since then), check PMXE’s Japanese home page, where you can always get the latest (but untranslated) release.
LearnMMD has many articles about using PMDE/PMXE!
Be a good MMDer, “Keep the Faith-MMD”.
Get MME v037 in English! … 32-bit or 64-bit!
with English Installation Instructions in English!
IMPORTANT! If you use the 64-bit version of MMD, you *must*choose the 64-bit version of MME as well, and vice versa. Mismatched combinations will not work!
READ Reggie’s Article about MME V037!
To upgrade your old version of MME … simply replace the old DLL files with the new ones in this download.
LearnMMD.com still offers the previous version if you wish to own it. You can download the old Old MME v028 in English.

The Mogg Project Face and Lips program helps you to create lip-syncs and VSQ files. LearnMMD has several articles that might help you to learn Face and Lips.

According to the Blender homepage, Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation.

You will find that it lasts about 4440 Frames! Save it where you can easily find it. Open a NEW file in MMD and then click FILE and LOAD WAV FILE. Select your file.

Hi! I Installed all the required additional software for the 64-bit version but it still refuses to open, saying something like “The application has failed to start because it’s side-by-side configuration is incorrect” what should I do?
The side-by-side error is caused from not having the proper C++ installed… Check to see that you DO have the proper C++ installed… HERE is the list of C++ on MY Win 10 computer… You won’t need all of these but you should see your required 2008×64 and 2010×64 C++ installed…

I’d like to add, be sure it is the x64 version specifically! The x86 versions of these will not work for x64 MMD. I personally ran into this issue. And, if you downloaded an ARM-Based X64 version [it should not have allowed you to install that if you do not have an ARM-Based processor though], I am not 100% on if that driver does work with x64 MMD… If it does not, do let us know and try downloading the normal x64 version.
Thanks for your question, and Happy MMDing!
Thank you guys so much for the help! It absolutely worked, And I’m having a blast messing around with the program
Could you help me with this, every time I open the Pmx I get this window “PmxNlib.dll” and when I enter the “Transform View” window I get blank, I don’t get the model
Me?… I have no idea… I hope someone else can jump in and save us!

Hello! This issue can be solved via downloading the “Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013” Via the Microsoft website. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784
When choosing a package to install, choose based off of your system type. If it is 32 bit, choose x86. If it is 64 bit, choose x64. If it is an ARM-Based processor, choose the arm one. You can check in settings -> system -> about. It should say your system type and processor type. For example, mine states:
“64-bit operating system, x64-based processor”
This means I’d download the 64-bit install.
Hope this works, and happy MMDING!
Thanks for that!

thanks
Thank YOU… let me know if I can help to get you started… See the Step-by-Step instructions.

Thank you, but I found that this may not be available in China. Even if I am a vip in Thunder, the download speed is very slow. When it comes to about 70% of the time, the download speed is 0kb/s
That is a problem. … The MikuMikuDance DirectX version was created in 2010 and was based upon DirectX 9c. That DirectX 9c Runtime installs a handful of DLL files that MMD needs…

You still may try your luck with Microsoft download site. What you need is to coerce its search engine into showing you a full redistributable pack of the similar size; by default it will try to pitch you a small installer that scans your disk and then decides for itself which of older .dll’s you want to have downloaded and which you don’t – and in MMD’s case, its judgement is usually wrong. Once you find and install what you need, check your C:\Windows\System32 folder for files in Reggie’s screenshot (the last one must be numbered 43), and if they are there, you should be good to go. (You probably do *not* want to search the web for these files and put them into the folder manually, as they must be properly registered during installation as well.)
Thanks, KB!
你好!对于这个问题,您确实有一些潜在的选择。
看看您是否有朋友可以为您下载它并将其上传到托管站点,例如 Google Drive、Mediafire、Mega 或任何类似的站点。我也愿意提供。
尝试微软官方网站。正如 KillerBeer 提到的,您可能不得不强制它允许您下载整个包,而不仅仅是某些部分……这可能有点麻烦。
[不推荐] 找到一个未知/3rd 方站点重新分发它。如果您别无选择,我只会使用它……但理论上,如果 2 失败,1 应该可以工作。
如果翻译很糟糕/不好,我深表歉意……我不得不使用谷歌翻译,因为我的母语是英语。祝你好运,谢谢你的提问,祝你MMDing快乐!

Hello! For this issue, you do have a few potential options.
My apologies if the translation is finnicky/bad… I had to use google translate, as my native tongue is English. Good luck, thank you for the question, and Happy MMDing!
I get a white screen when I start the program. I cannot add anything to the program because when I add it there is only such a white color. i am open on windows 10. please tell me how to fix it thanks
Sorry… THAT’s new one! Can you access the drop-down menus across the top of the screen… under VIEW, can you view the Coordibnate axis? That is the grid pattern that we see on an empty MMD screen. … and you cannot load a model… it’s just “white”?… … Maybe it’s a graphics card issue… do you know if your system uses an internal chip for the graphics?… or does it use (or can you add) a specialized graphics card? To fully run MMD with it’s MME effects, you need a strong graphics card… a card with at least a 1MB cache.
I use a desktop i5 5200k and card 3060 on win 10, I think it may be because my card or chip using win 10 has such a white error. because i use laptop i5 5200u and gtx 820m also got white error, then i install win7 on laptop it works but i want it to work on windows 10 desktop then i see white color seems to cover the area your work area. I still see the axis posted behind the white screen
Sorry… I have nothing for you… …
I have a little problem. Nothing program breaking but it’s still really annoying. Every time I load a project and try to put it in full screen, I get this error. If I load it again it works fine again but, it’s only temporary. When i reopen the project, i am metting the same problem after a little time. Like i mentionned its nothing preventing me from using the program but… if you have a solution to this little problem. I’ll appreciate it. (Quick note: it seems it has to do with MME cause if i get the files related to MME off MMD, I dont have that problem anymore)
That’s a new issue… never seen it before. … Does it have to do with your scree-size? Are you using YouTube’s recommended screen-sizes? I cannot understand what MME might have to do with it.
It’s really funky and inconsistent… Sometimes the problem’s there sometimes not. Plus, it’s always “fixed” temporarily once I reopen it after the crash. And yeah, like i said, the problem ain’t here when MME isn’t installed for some reason. Plus the error says its MME who can’t reset. Anyway, if you find some clues on how to fix it for good, keep me informed. Like i mentionned, it’s not preventing me from using my projects. It’s just that i have to open them 2 times to use full screen each time that happens. It’s annoying that’s all.
And I also tried some other screen sizes recommended on this site. Doesn’t seem to change much from what i tested sadly…
(Quick update on my message prior. The problem actually persist even without MME. That’s my bad, i didn’t test it enough without it. So yeah, it’s a general problem in the end… If that can help clear out a false lead at least..,)
Wellll… let’s keep our eyes open… maybe someomne will have a fix. … Is you computer up to the task? … good graphics card?
I think its working fine cause I’ve been using this program for almost a year now… I started having this problem pretty recently (couple weeks). It seems it had something to do with how the ui is place somehow. I’ll show what i mean in the image down here.

Hmmm… My GUI looks like this all of the time… I don’t know what the deal is… I have heard from others that THEIRS looks likeyour shortened one all of the time…
ok so i tried downloading on windows 11 and theres a side by side error so i downloaded the c++ and directx on this website but still shows error
“Downloaded” or “installed”? Placing downloaded files somewhere on your disk doesn’t make them work.
When using MME and trying to load an effect I encountered the message “Error X1507:Failed to open source file: “Shader.fx””, I didn’t encounter any problems downloading it, I would be super happy if someone could help :D
You’re not telling neither which effect it is, nor how you were trying to apply it. The answer is: apparently you’ve made some mistake. Here, this was helpful.
i need help
OK… You’ve got it!

That “side-by-side” error is the result of not having those required C++ installed. Have you checked to see that your C++ is actually installed?
Here is the list I have on my 64-bit Win 10 system:
See that yours are actually installed…
I have a problem that I have been trying to fix for a long time, every time I try to extract a video that I made I get this [I leave an image here] I can no longer use a 64-bit windows 10, I NEED HELP PLEASE!!!!! !!!
First, make sure that the MMDShow.dll file *is* where it’s supposed to be. After that, install DirectX 9.0c from a link that this page provides.
I tried asking a lot of guys from yt to discord to all thing all told me about the c++ download thing and the direct x but didn’t work for the mme error no matter how much i try to download direct x from this link it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLIVQOeZmfQ&ab_channel=MMDLoukinha doesn’t work i don’t know what to do anymore PLS HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP I PENT OVER 2 YEARS AND NO ONE WAS ABLE TO HELP ;-;
Have you tried downloading those softwares from OUR links? …
Hi. Everything if fine with the x64 MMD program, but when I try to add the x64 MME it doesn’t show the buttom in the program. There isn’t any error idk what to do.
Hello… It’s hard for anything to go wrong… You download the MME folder .zip… you extract the folder… and then you drag-and-drop the three new DLLs into you main MMD folder. … and … … that’s it. … Yes?
— Reggie
try using MMD in compatibility mode
hi, I’m on windows 11 and I tried downloading MMD but it still says the side by side error on my screen. I downloaded the Microsoft visual C++ redistributable package x64(both 2008 and 2010) and directx9.0c End-User Runtime I even unzipped the folder, sadly no successful attempts.
Have you checked to see if the C++ and the DirectX runtime are installed properly? The DirectX runtime puts a bunch of DLLs into your system 32 folder…
C>Windows>System32…
…and then you can go to your installed programs to see that the C++ are installed…
… yes?
— Reggie
yes, I checked and there all installed and yet it still won’t open. are there any tutorial videos possible available for windows 11?
Win 11 is “unexplored territory”… I do know that many 11 users are having success… I hope someone will answer the call, here…
— Reggie
I have MMD on Win11, I have no issue, it works well.
I have installed both 32 and 64 bit version’s but i pnly use the 64 bit.
Awesome! … Thank you for your report!
