try this compiler https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/

The dependencies for the new build of MingGW which comes with that are the same I guess.

How do I run this thing? I tried running MIingGW but it's running an older installation and doesn't redirect to gcc and moans about cc being missing.

you have to install packages first in the installer on the desktop icon "MinGW Installer"

than you run msys.bat from c:\MinGW\msys\1.0\

but i tried it compiling seabios and it asks to update so i guess this one is too old for seabios

Run SMODEVLB > vlb.txt.

Attach the VLB file or its contents or share it somehow.

I got notified by this through a PM. While I do own a 3DBlaster VLB I do not have a system setup for it atm to easily test this, also my days are crazy busy at the moment so I can't promise anything in the near future.

Copy code to clipboard

1unable to begin graphics memory system: MX1 error 19

in the context of Nascar 1 with the Matrox Millennium 2 MB (IS-MGA-2064W, 2 MB).

Well, nm. I'll try and sort out gona's problem with the EXE.

Which OS are you running under and what's your 2D card? Also can you check the MD5 checksum just to make sure my website isn't messing up. I did download it again from nirvtek.com/downloads to verify and it seems ok.

For instance under W98 with a 3DBPCI (which is also being studied at the moment) I get the attched file. What I'm really interested in is the first 4 int calls.

OK, the file was corrupted.
I have attached the TXT.

Thanks Gona!

Those calls don't appear to be the secret sauce.
