And if you want to know safe files to ignore with Visual Studio: https://www.gitignore.io/ There is a gitignore gen that generates a list of known redundant files for Visual Studio as well as many other things. This also stops those files from being merged/added by mistake to your source code tree …

Just was wondering, anyone know a good video game that works with dgVoodoo2 and supports EAX? I wouldn't mind doing some debugging on Alchemy and doing some digging and want to know a good enough title to test Alchemy on. Mainly interested in dgVoodoo2 usage since that supports forcing games into …

Which is what I am getting at. Having the ability to load a specified DLL without renaming it would work wonders for people doing game fixes/hook patches for mods/game patching.

I was debugging this game for a while: https://github.com/mudlord/rogue_fix x64dbg databases of what I found so far are included. I was mainly poking around internals in the Scoundrel Engine (RS's game engine). Factor 5 luckily left most of their debug strings, which is nice. In the future I want …

I've never had that box be anything but grey on Windows 8.1, and I presume 10 would be extremely similar (I can't get updates working yet, so I can't test on 10), so you can try this workaround that I've always used... maybe it'll solve the problem, or maybe Windows updates will kill it either way: …

Here's beta 2. It's only useful for Windows Vista/7, where it only adds a GUI for configuring the existing Microsoft MIDI Mapper. There is no functional change for Windows 8/10, where it still installs the same MIDI routing device as the default, along with the configuration GUI. Thanks very much, …

Maybe then for Windows 10, the best course of action is indeed a hook DLL to force a MIDI synth for a particular app. Could just hook the appropriate winmm call and use other calls to get the appropriate "device" ID. I'm kinda interested to do such a thing since Coolsoft always makes everything …

Edit: I've been thinking that it should be possible to make a fake winmm.dll that intercepts the call to midiOutOpen() and forwards the call to the real winmm.dll, but with a device ID parameter from a config file instead of whatever was passed in. Unfortunately I don't know how to do this (but I'm …

Any packer itself is a useless thing. Just use 7-zip for distributing your files and the result will be even better than using exe/dll packer + zip. Might as well use UPX on max compression. At least that is easily depacked by AVs. I coded my own exe packer for fun though, so I don't think all …
