Umm... It asks for d3d9_37.dll, and I dont have!?
I'm using Vista, and DirectX 10, and I can't find this dll on google...
Any help plz?

EDIT: oh woops, nvm...i got it to work...
[for those who have Vista and need help: go to Download details: DirectX End-User Runtime
and download the windows validation tool thingy. Then, right click the file, and set the conpatability
to Windows XP Service Pack 2. Now you can continue validating and get the requirements for this
awesome emulator.

If you own a cracked Windows version or don't want to validate, you have to download the full runtime setup from:
Download details: DirectX Redist (March 2008)

I have a legit version of Windows but I hate the validating process. I've been trying to validate for the last 30 minutes but it't not doing anything. It validated before when I installed IE7 and WMP a while back but it's a pain in the ass. Thanks for the link Spacy, I'm going to try that one now.

EDIT: 70 MB. I'll hold off on that until later.

I've built an Ubuntu package of SVN rev 451.
You can find it here :

to deal with the d3dx9_37.dll issue i just dl the d3dx9_27.dll one wich is easier to get and then renamed it.

d3dx9_27.dll > d3dx9_37.dll and it did work fine. Hope it helps to avoid the dling the whole directx setup or validating.

Here is a better program for getting the latest version of Dx

just use it every 2 months, or when a site posts theres a new Dx redist available

ignore the name, it also does Dx10 updates as well when they are available.

bad move, the file you've just renamed likely has less optimised functions, or even functions missing.

i thought we added the zlib and libpng requirements into the exe?
i also thought we were using a custom unpacker?

A new bug has occurred.
The screen outside of the window is not redrawn when switching to windowed mode, using the OpenGL output.

Done.

Due to this, leaves issues to the relevance of the dependancies directory. Since MSVC builds are now built with a dynamic lib, I wonder whether its really needed for Linux, if Linux users have ZLIB and libpng in thier Linux distributions...File_Extractor can stay though, as it is a core library.

Squall-Leonhart · March 9th, 2008

any comment on the new opengl bug?

Hi there, I spent my whole weekend on this:

XAudio2 sound output support

What is XAudio2?
Definition from the DirectX SDK:

Quote:

XAudio2 is a low-level, cross-platform audio API for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360. It provides a signal processing and mixing foundation for games that is similar to its predecessors, DirectSound and XAudio. For Windows game developers, XAudio2 is the long-awaited replacement for DirectSound. For Xbox 360 developers, it is an enhanced version of the previous XAudio API, addressing several outstanding issues and feature requests.

Having finished the XAudio2 output code, I can say that XAudio2 is a fine API. It offers queueable buffers like OpenAL does and can notify the app when sound buffers finished playing using callbacks. OpenAL doesn't offer callbacks so I had to use a simple Sleep() function.

Another cool feature is, that XAudio2 can change the frequency on a per-buffer basis. I used that possibility to adjust the sound frequency when using the throttle feature (50% game speed for example). This has the advantage that there won't be any samples dropped or skips when using throttling. Just compare it to DSound & OpenAL.
I'll try to support the feature for the speedup key as well when I get some more time. (EDIT: Aborted, sounds stupid...)

Xaudio is Microsofts answer to OpenAL, except it doesn't work on linux or mac.

really good that microsoft is, init.
