SafeDisc v1.35.000 seems to not work 100% good, at least with Rayman 2.

Really, it works for first few levels, but in the middle of "The Sanctuary of Stone and Fire" (and upper levels periodicaly) it start to gives "head of Pirate":) (screenshot attached) and no more playing is possibile. This is tried with old original CD and also with backup CD. Tested with wine-1.1.12 (first version in which graphics and sound are good), but actualy it needs only XP 'dinput.dll' native. And what is funny it work in all "Windows" versions, but not in XP. So, if maybe someone interested in this, i can debug (just tell me what can be usefull), give game saved states, etc.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: art yerkes <art.yerkes(a)gmail.com> Date: 2009/1/9 Subject: Re: mpr: fix a compiler error on PowerPC To: Steven Edwards <winehacker(a)gmail.com> According to Art Yerkes who has a copy of PPC VC++ "Here's what I get. The first test (char) works identically to the second test (signed char), so the default has to be signed." -- Steven Edwards "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo

CHAR is a Windows type so I don't think it's right for it to be unsigned on PowerPC. Even more so since there is a UCHAR type. So I think the right thing to do is to fix the CHAR declaration in wtypes.h and winnt.h. -- Francois Gouget <fgouget(a)free.fr> http://fgouget.free.fr/ Research is the transformation of money to knowledge.

MSI Patch Feedback
by Andrew Nguyen 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

Hello, I've written a few patches against dlls/msi/action.c in an effort to rectify a difference in behavior with an MSI-based installer between Windows and Wine with regard to environment variable processing. Behavior not explicitly enumerated by MSDN is noted when a combination of the environment table "+" name prefix and "[~]" value expression are combined. How should I attempt to test the changes I have made, and is there anything I can do to improve the quality of my changes? Feedback is appreciated! -Andrew

Does preloader attempt to fix ASR?
by Nicholas LaRoche 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

On a standard installation of Fedora 10 address space randomization is enabled by default. The base address of a process started by wine seems to change.. and it is easy to see when loading Dlls and checking their base addresses. Does the preloader attempt to compensate for this? Or is it necessary to use setarch to turn off ASR completely when debugging with reproducibility? $> setarch $(uname -p) -RL Regards, Nick
