Hacking Hydro Thunder..err Offroad Thunder (Updated)
Le Chuck:
Getting an unexpected error. Running a build of TinyXP64. Unpacked everything into MOT3 where my pcoffroad.exe is located. Ensured I had everything required installed. Ran as admin, ran backwards compatibility for 95. Getting unexpected errors on everything.
Fully acknowledge I'm running a nonstandard OS so if that's going to be a deal breaker for this then I understand, however, if you can work some magic and get me going I'd appreciate it to no end man.
Howard_Casto:
95 compatibility is going to make things worse, so set that back.
An unexpected error isn't enough info. What happens? What do you mean you are getting unexpected errors on everything?
If the wrapper crashes and that's it then it is probably on my end, but if, just as an example, the config program also crashes, then you are missing some windows files. I've only ever managed to get it to crash if I bind the inputs to the wrong joystick (like one that doesn't exist).
It should be noted that I don't run XP on anything anymore, so I'm unsure if there are any xp specific issues. TinyXP probably makes troubleshooting even harder.
Le Chuck:
So the text box that opens when I attempt to execute anything just says, "an unexpected error has occurred" , I click okay and it closes out. So not a lot to go on there. The config program is crashing like that, ditto the wrapper. I'll reinstall the window files and give that a shot, see if I get any results. Is there anything else required beyond what was listed in the readme?
Howard_Casto:
Afaik vb can't even throw that error (all errors are handled and given a number), so it's something missing in windows.
Make sure the visual studio 6 runtime files are installed and directx 8. In addition, I make use of comctrl32.dll, but it's optional.
Accroding to dependency walker (which is sometimes inaccurate) the wrapper makes calls to:
msvbvm60.dll
kernel32.dll
ntdll.dll
kernelbase.dll
user32.dll
win32u.dll
gdi32.dll
advapi32.dll
msvcrt.dll
sechost.dll
rpcrt4.dll
sspicli.dll
cryptbase.dll
bcryptprimitives.dll
ole32.dll
combase.dll
oleaut32.dll
msvcp_win.dll
It should be noted that I don't run XP on anything anymore, so I suppose it could be an xp issue as well, but I doubt it.
Le Chuck:
^ thanks for the rundown. I'm sure it's something specific to the barebones xp version I'm running. I'll recheck all this stuff over the holiday and see what gets it running.
