[Bug 11557] New: winmm.dll - mmtaskcreate16 fix

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11557

Summary: winmm.dll - mmtaskcreate16 fix
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.54.
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

The guys at http://www.japheth.de/HX.html already fixed the mmtaskcreate16
error for winmm.dll

I replaced wine-0.9.54's winmm.dll with HX DOS Extender's version of the file
and I can now play Wizardry Gold which was impossible with wine before.

This should be an easy fix since another open source project did the work for
you.

Interesting.  I hadn't heard of HX before.

Its winmm.dll is written in 2500 lines of assembler,
and is pretty skeletal.  It's also not obvious what
error you're talking about, or how HX fixes it.

Can you try Wizardry Gold on plain old wine-0.9.54
and attach the error log?

It doesn't look like Wizardry Gold is available for free 
legally; it's online at http://www.classic-gaming.net/game/646/
and probably on ebay.  It's also available in a collection, see
http://www.amazon.com/Interplay-C95-895-0-Ultimate-Wizardry-Archives/dp/B000...

What kind of bug is that?

It would be nice to know the nature of the bug and a fix.

Open source != compatible with Wine (not always at least).

According to the copyright, HX Dos extender is freeware. Doesn't have an actual
license listed...Is it public domain, X11 license, BSD, GPL, LGPL, etc.?

It doesn't matter, it's useless for Wine anyway.

Sure, I'll see what I can do to give you the actual error message in
Wine-0.9.54.

I never heard of HX DOS Extender myself until yesterday which creates a minimal
win32 enviornment in DOS.

I decided to try out to try copying their DLLs to Wine's windows/systems folder
with this shocking effect.

After a bit of googling, these guys don't seem to mind using Wine DLLs to add
functionality to HX DOS Extender, and seems to be some kind of open
soursource/freeware project as the DRDOS/OPENDOS Enhancement project is using
it.

later,

This was the error I was getting before in pretty much all the wines including
wine-0.9.54:

m7ncd:~/.wine/drive_c/WizGold$ wine wizard.exe
err:fixup:apply_relocations No implementation for MSVIDEO.100, setting to
0xdeadbeef
fixme:mmsys:mmTaskCreate16 This is currently broken. It will fail

FIXME's are not the bugs. If you have a real problem with your application
open another bug report and describe what the bug is that.
