Re: New DirectMusic breakage in Windows 11

in Windows
If we're being pedantic, if I'm understating this right, we should be looking for the following sequences: 4C49535404000000494E464F Breaking this down: 4C495354 - ASCII "LIST" 04000000 - length of the chunk - 4 bytes - 32-bit integer in little-endian 494E464F - ASCII "INFO" - start and at the same …

Re: End of 10

Updating Windows sucked since at least XP. I don't update it (I change to newer build occasionally, so new install), so not effected by the horrible slowness on HDDs, other than the thing coming together after boot / logon. Linux? I suspect only handful of people leave for Linux when the new bad …

So crazyc meant to write "without", not "with". And if this is an error in Music.rrc, why is it suddenly the problem? Is MS fixing random bugs in old deprecated components? Assuming it was meant to error out in the first place in such case.

OK, so CDs with music in PCem or 86Box aren't a problem. Additionally, there is native support for mounting CUE. I wonder though, did this game really run that horrible on a real 133 MHz Pentium at 640x480 resolution, high detail, software renderer? Feels like 5 - 10 FPS. 86Box emulation speed …

No, it's just that people just don't want to upgrade (especially if it is perceived as forced), period. So each time a new version of Windows comes - it's the same old tune - sucks, old one was so much better, I'm staying with it. 3-5 years later a good portion of people moves, finds out it is not …

@KainXVII Maybe I went a bit overboard and should clearly separate those parts. If I remember right, they shouldn't detect you from beyond viewable distance, but if you want to be 100%, you can simply skip copying folders Common, Mountain World, Islands World, Volcanic World, Multiplayer, Rift World …

What emulator / virtualizer did you use? I don't recall what I used last time, probably VMware, I got crash near the end on Win98 as well. On a somehow related note, is there any emulator / virtualizer that lets you mount proper CD images (MDS, CCD...), not just ISOs? Or maybe I could use Alcohol …
