Win32s can only run EXEs that are relocatable, meaning they have a .reloc section. There are also many other restrictions as well, but that is the biggest one. Most EXEs made for Win32 do not contain relocation information, unlike DLLs which always do. `objdump -h file.exe` will list the sections of …

Okay, just wanted to make sure it wouldn't do something silly like auto-mute a tracked named "bongo Drums" or "bass Drums" on channel 16 if there was a track named "xciting Drums" on channel 10. For safety, I'd check that MIDI channels 11 and 12 were unused as well.

Thank you for looking in to that, and whatever heuristic you are using here does work on those ancient MIDI files. Are you just literally looking for "bDrums" (channel 16) and "xDrums" (channel 10), or is it something else?

Hi, actually auto-detection is also implemented in the only way that is practically possible. Namely by detecting a specific sequencer meta event that such MS dual authored Midi files should contain. Your linked files are missing this specific event (maybe they were modified by other authoring/ …

Hello, here's a minor feature request. Early MIDI devices did not support all 16 channels. You had "Base level" MIDI that only supported channels 13-16 (percussion on 16), and "Extended level" MIDI devices that only supported channels 1-10 (percussion on 10). Later devices supported all 16 channels …

One of the things Stretcher supports is small update regions, used for games that support Dirty Rectangles. A game can redraw a tiny part of the window → Tiny region of the unscaled texture gets changed → Tiny region goes through the pixel shader → Finally, tiny region gets presented to the screen. …

Neat, what shader do you want to see? Right now, the program uses Direct3D9, so it needs to be compatible with that, haven't learned how to code for D3D10, 11, or 12 yet.

New version released. Now it's 1.0.2, and supports DirectDraw and Direct3D9 as well. Since it's no longer GDI only, I've renamed the program to GameStretcher. Any feedback would be appreciated.
