Hey, thought I'd start a thread to document games I play that don't seem to wanna work with this wrapper, and I suppose it'll help out dxwnd too if it is also having these problems.
I have two games I've tried out recently, AI Wars: The Awakening and O.D.T. - Escape...Or Die Trying. The former has no CD checks but only works with CD audio when a CD is actually mounted (possibly doing a hard CD check or something built in?), but the latter really is a problematic game when it comes to it's CD. I had only just recently got it working thanks to a Russian patch I found someplace, but it won't read the MUSIC folder w/ the CDAudio proxy wrapper.
Y'think this thread would be good as a general place to document problem games? Lemme know.
Thanks again!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Oh, my! I forgot to subscribe to my own project! This is why I didn't notice Albert's post here.
I'll put these two games in the checklist for testing, but before I think I should align this mci wrapper to the many improvement and fixes that I made on the DxWnd original code.
But in general I think that it would be better to post tech notes on the DxWnd dedicated thread here https://sourceforge.net/p/dxwnd/discussion/general/thread/0d852410/ because is more frequently read by other guys ... at least until the thread doesn't blow up (it has reached 24 pages and still growing ...)
