Yesterday I built a copy of Mini vMac with sound disabled on Visual C++ 1.1.
And Today I tested that under NT3.5 beta and it worked!

The only significant problem is the app will hang when I trying to close it by double-clicking the control button and I have to press Ctrl+Q.

Very cool.... Does it run on NT 3.1? I'm just wondering how they did their graphics, as NT 3.5 supports a much easier DIB mode that NT 3.1 does not......

Great. This must be called Mini vMac 16-bit version. Can you try this on Windows 3.1?

sigh I tried to hack my way thru the code, but broke the menu up top so the mouse is all off, and I have a black bar at the bottom.. .Im not sure how I broke it like that, but yeah it runs on VC 1.1 on windows 7 x64... it'll build on NT 3.1 but it won't run.. it just crashes... I haven't even bothered to try to debug it yet.

You have to change InsertMenuItem into InsertMenu
and when I changed WAVEFORMATEX into a PCMWAVEFORMAT
the sound worked!

wow, I'll have to take another pass at hacking the software!

my sound crashed hard... ill have to look at it again later...

But I found an #ifdef 0 bit for the menu so I just used that and it works better now!...

I'm going to pass it thru VC 4 on the MIPS and VC 6 for the Alpha

Well I got it to run on NT 3.1!

Image

Oh, I installed Windows 3.1 & win32s 1.30c and it just opens & closes... you can't read what is going on... However I suspect it may be some string corruption as once I deleted the rom the message was screwed up...

And it builds & runs fine on my Dec Alpha... But the MIPS crashes out with an alignment error after going thru the endian filter.... I'll have to investigate later I'm tired!!!!

How about a screenshot about your Alpha build?

Ok, here goes:

Image

I'm still running NT 4.0 because I couldn't find ram to work in the machine to get me 2000 rc1...

Oh well, but quake builds & runs with vc 6 just fine!

You know it's funny but building vmac with the x64 toolchain also fails with an alignment error.....

I think it's time to report the Alpha NT4 support we achieved to the author of Mini vMac now...

Sure, I'm positive they'll get a laugh.... And of note that the x64 & MIPS fail for the same alignment reason in the endian conversion.... I commented that part out, and naturally they can't read the rom, but then the program doesn't crash.....

It just looks like the endian stuff was written by a machine the variables & stuff are.... insane.

How the build command lines has been used?

Like this:

Code:
-maintainer "yksoft1" -m Plus -t wx86 -e msv -ev 1100 -sony-sum 1 ;

I used -ev 6000 and manually created a VC1.1 makefile, changed much code in myosglue.c then tweaked some compiler settings. VC1.1 is definitely unsupported by Paul's Build program.

I'll have to run your source through my Alpha... sorry I've been busy...
