Re: Is it possible to modify a running process?

Thanks a lot for all this info! I didn't know that debuggers could attach to processes. That's very interesting, and perhaps it's the method that Elkern.C uses to infect all processes in memory. However, I was able to remove the virus from memory using a tool distributed freely by Symantec: http:// …

Is it possible to modify a running process?

Hi people, Maybe this question sounds a bit strange, but it came to my mind today after having fought a long and arduous battle with Klez.H and its sibling Elkern.C. These two viruses quickly infected our entire network because they can spread themselves through shared folders and it was a real pain …

Hi, I've always thought that Hauppauge are famous because of their quality and customer support. Therefore, I've always bought all my TV cards from them. My first Hauppauge TV Tuner had the left audio channel broken, and it only output audio through the right channel. It was very annoying. The …

Hi Stiletto, Unfortunately, the Alt-Shift combination doesn't work in X-Wing, although it DOES work in Windows programs. So I'm afraid I have to go to control panel and change the keyboard language system-wide for the utilities to work. Hey, but what the heck, it works! Maybe it's a bit cumbersome, …

Still no joy...

Thanks for the links, edasx. I've tried those 3 programs, but none of them works for me :( My main problem is that X-Wing uses these three annoying keys: " [ ] \ " (the two square brackets and the backslash) to control the speed of the aircraft. But, unfortunately, in my Spanish keyboard those three …

Hi Vlad, Edasx's suggestion is really great. Do you think it is possible to emulate key strokes using joystick buttons? I'm asking because many dos games only support two or four buttons, and that's a pain in flight simulators. I'd love to get advantage of the ten buttons of my joystick in dos games …

Thanks for the suggestion

Hi Nicht Sehr Gut, Actually, I'm playing the floppy disk version (two .ADF files). And, yes, you're right, it's a pain to have to swap the floppy disks in some parts of the game. Most other games I've tried did recognize the other floppy drives. But I can live with that. Hey, I still remember when …

For me it was impossible

Hi people, I've tried the mac version, but it's too fast to be playable. Changed the processor emulation to 68020 and set the resolution to 640x400, but it didn't help at all. The Windows version plays at the correct speed, but it's extremely ugly (graphics and sound wise). And the dos version is …

I hope they'll reconsider their opinion

Hi, I don't understand their position. Imagine, for example, that DosBox could be able to emulate all LEC games right now. DosBox is also GPL and can also be bundled with commercial linux distributions. Why do they object to scummvm then? Sooner or later they'll have to accept it. Honestly, I can't …

Hi Snover, Whoa! You're in serious trouble. Try this program if you haven't already: ftp://ftp.oo-software.de/pub/oobcv4/oobcpro_V4.0.445_english.exe If not, try with OnTrack Easy Recovery 6.0: http://buyonline.ontrack.com/ecom/freeware/login.asp?Product=FSRE72000001&File=ertrial.exe Maybe Partition …

Hello Snover, I agree that many SoundFonts nowadays are of extraordinary quality, and that you can make quite good MIDI compositions with them. But, I think that the Roland SC-55 is still king for playing old games designed for General MIDI. Likewise, the Roland MT-32 itself is king for playing …

Hi Snover, Ah! then maybe you should try the analog port to see if the problems disappear (if you haven't already). I remember a year ago, when I bought a Terratec DMX XFire 1024 sound card. I tried to plug my cd-rom to the sound card with the SPDIF cable, but I had enormous troubles. The card …

Hi Vlad, Thanks a lot for the technical info. I did try what you suggested, and you're right: normal CD-players behave just like the cheap win2k cdplayer. It seems that only special programs like Nero and EAC are able to talk to the drive in a "low-level" fashion and therefore bypass whatever that " …

Re: CD-AUDIO & Dos

Posted on 2002-10-04, 01:04

I have another theory about this, let me explain: I think that when you check "enable digital audio" (this checkbox is available in both Windows 2000 and XP in the Device Manager, under the properties page of the CDROM drive) Windows just enables an API or something similar that allows applications …

I'm begging

Vlad, Then are you considering coding plugins for the Windows port of DosBox? I think it would be absolutely great to have CD-ROM and MIDI support in it (especially the superb MIDI quality of the Roland SoftSynth included in DirectX). Thanks a lot. Regards.

Re: Debug Assertion Failed!

Hi Vlad, Yes, typing %VDMSPath% takes me to the VDMSound directory; and yes, there's a file called DOSDRV.EXE there. And also yes, Explorer sucks, because rebooting solved the problem, exactly as you suggested. I've tried to get the error message again, but it doesn't appear anymore. Anyway, this …

Debug Assertion Failed!

Posted on 2002-09-29, 18:11

Hello, I'm running WinXP SP1. I installed VDMSound 2.0.4 with the update1, and also the LaunchPad 1.0.0.7. I was playing XWINGCD without problems, then I exited the game, and right-clicked on the BWING.VLP file in order to edit its properties. But I couldn't because EXPLORER.EXE generated errors and …

Hello people, This is off-topic, but I think it's interesting: For those of you who have to bear with spam (me included), there's a little hope. Mark, developer and webmaster of AnalogX.com, is coding a freeware filter for spam. And from what people are saying, it seems that it's really innovative …

It works perfectly for me

Dear kevbo, I'm currently playing XWING (MS-DOS CD-ROM version) without any problem. I'm using Windows 2000 SP3 and a Celeron at 633 MHz (not overclocked). Try unzipping my files in "C:\XWINGCD" and overwrite your old files. But make sure you have the game installed on "C:\XWINGCD", otherwise my …

Hope this helps you: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q307545& It's an article for Windows XP, but I suppose that Windows 2000 is not much different. Or maybe here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q269075& Usually it's a good idea to search the …
