I think I have a copy of the W2K/XP drivers and app, but not the win9x ones .

EDIT : I found them .
Maybe you can get the 2K/XP apps working on 9x with KernelEx .

Thanks! Unfortunately I've no XP o.s. to use so I've to still look for the right files or try KernelEx.

I've been collecting drivers for my Sigma Design compilation thread. I found the Win9x 2.1 driver for the RealMagic Xcard (and many others). I have a theory that the disk 2 are interchangeable between Win9x and 2k/XP for the Xcard and Netstream 4000 products, atleast the filesizes/CRC matches v1.1, v1.2, v1.21 of the Xcard (where I have both the XP and Win9x application files). I've attached ver 2.1 for Win9x, could you try and see if it installs with the application disk2 above for Win2k/XP?

If it doesn't work I have attached 2.0b driver and app

Great thanks! I need to build again a Win 9x machine and I'll surely try it. It still seems like the application file for the 2.1 related release is difficult to find that I suppose it might be called "XC_2_1W2" if I remember from the latest archived page of their website. 😀

Yes, that file is currently missing (along with some others as listed in Sigma Designs RealMagic complete productlist, supported games and drivers). If the files are interchangeable for release 2.1, then we could just rename XC_2_1K2 to XC_2_1W2.

I don't own the card myself so cannot test.

I suppose the 2.0b version of the application should still work fine but it'd be nice to see which improvements has been made on the newer application. But the 32bit XP version I imagine it might not work maybe not even with kernelex but I'm not sure.
I think to remember the previous app anyway should work fine (even if I really preferred the Hollywood+ application layout ..).
The Xcard was a nice one but I never found the perfect combination to try it. When the dvd start it actually switch from the VGA output of the card to the VGA output of the Xcard if I understood and this ask for some quite tricky monitor config problems. In the regedit keys there're some way to add our own monitor config but I remember having complicated results and most important the windowed mode was missing. Considering that at that time DVI cards were already common they should have gone for a layered DVI composition logic, mantaining the H+ logic but with a digital signal and with the video card driving the monitor. 😉

That might work as a backup solution. As I mentioned in my post I believe when it comes to RealMagic Xcard and RealMagic Netstream 4000 the app files works both in Win9x and XP. For the Xcard I have driver and app releases for both Win9x AND XP for the following versions:
-v1.1
-v1.2
-v1.21

All of the app files (named W2 or K2) have the same filesize and the same CRC checksum on the files within the respective versions. The readme.txt do not specify which operating system its for (which Netstream 2000 readme does). For Netstream 4000 the readme.txt in the application file specifies Win9x,Win2k and WinXP.
