Taskbar Shuffle 2.5 also works on Windows 98. Allows to rearrange taskbar items. It seems that rearranging of tray icons is not supported on Windows 98 though (at least it doesn't work for on my Windows 98).

So, still no proper solution for these empty buttons? =) This article tries to explain the reason of the issue. But I can't understand why the default screensavers leave these buttons. The application is already closed, so why explorer can't detect that process of the window does not exist and hide …

kode54, two persons complained me that the new version of the VST MIDI Driver has some unknown problem with some of players, for example, vanBasco. They say that it just doesn't work and tells that some unknown internal error happened. Trying to play a midi using KaraFun v.1.20.86 shows this error: …

S-YXG50 is 32 bit VSTi, and a VST host also has to be 32 bit.

A critical bug in the VST MIDI Driver. It seems that VST MIDI Drivers always renders sound with 44100 sample rate, and it ignores the sample rate which was chosen for the current wave output. It is easy to reproduce: Open Playback Devices → right click on your playback device → Properties → Advanced …

1040: support of EAX 2.0 and DirectX 7, the best version for quality MIDI Is it better than with WDM versions of the drivers? Can someone descript the difference or provide a recording of some example, which will show why this version is the best? BTW, it seems that it is possible to port all …

the 4 meg waveset is the exact same one they put in the dbxg50 and swxg60, as near as I can tell. the mu-80 might have better quality in it, but everyone agrees that the isa cards were pretty much an mu-80 on a card, so i suspect it's the same ROM. I suppose that Yamaha MU80 / MU50 / QS300 / DB50XG …

The polygon glitch is strange because I don't think that there is any difference between DX6 and DX7. Is transparency solved with textures with alpha channel or legacy colorkeying? If alphaed textures then DX6 and DX7 should be equivalent but the thrash driver may configure the fixed function …

If you're using this VSTi with the foo_midi v1.251 and earlier, please update foo_midi to current version. A bug with using settings of VSTi during playback was fixed in the foo_midi v1.252.

Yes, if I remember correctly, Glide has pixel center at .5 positions, while DX<=9 has it at .0 (integer). So, if Trash driver accepts TL vertices then applying and offset on x and y with +0.5 should do the trick. Changing texture coordinates is the more complicated way because tex coords are …

I think D3D8 version is free (SwiftShader 2.01) It seems that it is not true. And there is no source code of d3d7 and d3d8 versions of SwiftShader :( It would be very useful for old games, I think. Especially for running in virtual machines. It would be nice to motivate Google to release the sorce …

Why I don't like linking to standard CRT libraries? Because, if you switch to a new version of Visual Studio then you have to supply the new version of the CRT dlls along with your program until they won't be part of the OS. In many cases it is possible to use msvcrt.dll (it is preinstalled even in …
