Building for 32 bit win2k/xp #2

Open pachuco opened 1 year ago

pachuco commented 1 year ago

This is compilable for 32 bit win2k/xp, yes? Might be interesting to try in place of original.

leecher1337 commented 1 year ago

Yes, can be compiled for 32bit too. But doesn't have any advantage over the original driver besides the ability to place your own bank file.

I suppose advantage comes from having source to fiddle with. Though, to take advantage, should have second PC with debug serial and soundcard. Suffer not the bsod.

You can try to use SoftICE or any other kernel-level debugger (RR0D, BugChecker, Syser, etc) to debug drivers on the same machine. These tools look abandoned but they're still worth trying.

Another alternative is to use Linux host + qemu-kvm + PCI pass-through, this way suits me better.

I used a second PC with an ESS card via LAN connection to debug via Ethernet with WinDbg, faster than serial connection

For experimenting, I'd use my https://github.com/leecher1337/esfmbank/ bank editor. ;-)
