I'm trying to get back to "Darkseed II" again. Recovering my partially working game RIP I found a few things that I report here, in the hope that sooner or later the game will be playable again. 1) the game needs WAVEMIC16.DLL in the Windows\System folder and WAVEMIX.INI in the Windows folder. I tried the option to use the "Remap system folders" placing the dll in "C:\Games\Darkseed II\Windows\System" but the game crashed inside one string cat routine. The reason was that the dedicated buffer for...

@crazyc : I was trying another old glory of the past, "Torin's Passage", and I got a very promising beginning followed by a sudden crash. This time the error dialog talks about Wine modules, so maybe it could be interesting for you. The problem is independent from DxWnd, it happens also running SIERRAW.EXE directly from otvdmw.exe. P.s. I had to hack a little the installer that refused to copy some resource files to the game folder, I hope this is not the cause of the inconvenience. Edit: maybe this...

Thanks, it must be the only spot on the page that I didn't try ... With this WineVDM release now the game starts and works with fake-CD. Like another Tonkaa game of the same age it doesn't support the profile escaping, so a portable RIP is possible only with the warning that the INSTALL entry of the Windows\TONKA_SR.INI must be edited to set the current game folder. In the meanwhile I also found the reason for the caterpillar driving problems: in some Tonka games the vehicles, after being chosen,...

By chance, do you have a link to a built version of your last commit? I see here https://ci.appveyor.com/project/otya128/winevdm the references to the updated source code, but there's no link to a test build. (yes, I know, I should be able to pull and build it myself ...)

.rc4 fixed the bugged wrapper for _chdrive call.

Creating your own AR Emoji is a fun way to make messages feel more personal. It is interesting how different emojis can express different emotions, and knowing what they mean makes conversations much clearer. I recently looked up hugging face emoji meaning because I wasn't sure how people were using it, and it helped me understand when it represents a friendly hug, support, or simple happiness.

I don't know ... cAlternateFileName is not a field accessible from the GetVolumeInformationW wrapper. By the way the wrapper seems to do its job: kernel32.GetVolumeInformationW: root="F:\" vnamesize=260 fsnamesize=0 > vname="TONKA_SR" and I don't understand why the comparison between the two WIDECHAR identical strings (made by the program, not by DxWnd) should not match.
