It should just be a standard PCM wave file, or a standard GM/GS MIDI file.

Just:

• grab "Update 2" from http://vdmsound.sourceforge.net/files/VDMSoun … 0.4.update2.zip and unzip it into the VDMSound directory (overwrite when prompted)
• finish the "Update 2" installation by pasting the following three commands in a command prompt:
  Copy code to clipboard

  1cd %VDMSPath%
  2regsvr32 DiskWriter
  3regsvr32 MIDIDevice
  

• get LaunchPad 1.0.1 from http://vdmsound.sourceforge.net/files/VDMSLau … ad.v1.0.1.0.zip (follow the instructions in the included README to install).

The new LaunchPad has built-in support for writing to files, and outputs .wav files or .mid files.

Ah thank you. Someone needs to update the instructions on the How-To-Update page because it didn't say any of that.

Yes, the instructions are not supposed to say anything - yet. I just released these two days ago, still being tested (hopefully).

Hrm...BioMenace still locks up at the detection screen with update2+LaunchPad 1.0.1, but still does NOT lock up when I run it using the non-note "run with vdms" option. Yes, I have the CLI/POPF fix checked.

Oh, when I open the properties menu for LaunchPad shortcuts now, I get the following error:
"Could not gain full access to the specified file(s) because of insufficient security privileges. You may encounter access problems when displaying and/or saving your changes."

It doesn't _seem_ to cause any other problems, but it's a strange error.

Yep, Nicht and I are getting it too.

Someone needs to check the patch DLL version numbers, etc. to see what patches in the HOW-TO-UPDATE thread are still needed. 😀

But Thanks! (and fix that Launchpad error!)

What LaunchPad error are you talking about?

Update 2 corresponds to CVS/LATEST so it obsoletes any previous patches, no need to check DLL versions.

vlad, read my post above again! That's where I describe the error. Thanks 😜

OK, the "permissions" error. Funny, you're the second person to report that. What OS+SP do you have, and what FS is the shortcut on?

BTW, I just realized that LaunchPad 1.0.1 has a problem with regsv32 (registers for the current user, not system wide), wo it will need a re-release pretty soon (1.0.1.1), so report any issues maybe I'll be able to sneak some fixes in there.

I count 3-4 reports. I'm using WinXP pro 2002 sp1. All of my FS's are NTFS. I also have DX9 but that shouldn't affect this kind of stuff 😜

2000 AS SP3 + NTFS over here

Lot of public talk about something that isn't public yet...
