So is Sonic, but does that stop all of us?

Isn't it? It should be put in and kept in.


I would like to know, is it possible to make something with nothing but PSGs?

 

Strange, I tried making one with 4 PSGs, but it ended up sounding like nothing...

 

Oops, error, I meant 3 PSGs and 1 FM

 

*palmface*

 

*palmface onto self* yeah... well, I fixed my problem. I changed the screen to play music97 and extended the frames the screen stays up.

 

Yeah, I guess it depends on what you're used to - the first few programming languages I used were curly bracket programming languages, so I've become very used to that syntax style (though I love both Ruby and Lua, which don't use it). 68k assembly is an awesome language, and I kinda like C as well (though the Windows API makes me puke).

 

First post here. Bundy's the name, shoe sellings the game. But enough about me(scored 4 touchdowns in one game

I have been trying to use this program ever since its first release to no avail. Even a past release that I was told by Tweaker on irc fixed my problem doesn't seem to help at all. I can't use this program at all unless I have all files mentioned throughout this topic(the dlls and ocxs) in the same folder as the program. Else it doesn't open and brings an error up with a bunch of nonsense numbers. Now, it does open when I have all the files with it as I said, so I just stick it in system32 where everything should be(I have ALL files mentioned by nineko, and have even downloaded various things claiming to be Visual Basic 5.0 Run-Time Files) but then when I try to open an xm it just says "some kind of error happened".

Again, I have all files mentioned through this topic. And I downloaded this thing:

...thinking it would help me further, but it just refuses to go any further. I just want to know if there is any help for me at all here? Obviousl somethings wrong on my end here but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is when I appear to have everything. Is there some sort of definite file I can download that will provide me with every single thing I need to make any VB5 application run? Because that surely seems to be the issue as I can't imagine what else it is.

I'm sorry for this being my first post, begging for help and all, but I really want to know what's going on, and I know aswell others seem to have issues too. So it would be nice to know if there is one source for VB5 files that will satisfy whatever it is this program wants. I wouldn't be going on this long if I didn't want to stress I have tried downloading everything mentioned and suggested to no avail.

Any help much appreciated. And thanks nineko, regardless of this working or not for me, as I can see it truly is a fruitful project that has advanced the hacking scene.

 

Have you tried the compatibility settings?
Right click the XM3SMPS icon, go to properties then compatibility.
Try running it under 2000 compatibility I've had similar problems with XM3SMPS & that fixed it all up. Hope that helps you.

 

Unfortunately compatibility settings didn't work, as nineko guessed. Thanks for the idea though. I'm trying to talk with nineko now on irc so we can sort this out. I hope somehow we can resolve this so any other people with issues can get to use this program too

And I just want to say right here that I really don't think canceling the vb version of this program won't exactly benefit everyone, even if there are issues for a few. And I certainly don't want to become the person who made this version get canceled! So ya, don't jump ahead with that idea as there are plenty of us who prefer the gui as opposed to ms-dos.
