1) There is a problem with linking C++ dynamic libraries compiled with one compiler to applications compiled by another compiler. Refer to http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MixingCompilers

2) Shared modules written in C are supported everywhere. Name a language or a framework, and if it can use dynamic modules, they are probably C.

3) You can write a C++ wrapper around a C library ( http://phonon.kde.org/ , http://www.gtkmm.org/ and others) and be happy. Writing a C wrapper around a C++ library (that is, a wrapper that is written in C++, but exposes C API for applications written in C) is difficult, even if you have an object model (such as GObject) at hand.

These are real problems with C++ and portability. Of course, i could start another holywar by telling you just how much C++ sux as an objective language, but that is hardly appropriate.

So, the point is, if you’re writing something to be widespread and used by everyone (that is, a library), C is your best bet (and GLib/GObject is your best bet if you need C with OOP support). Which is why libmirage is as it is, i guess. So, i would like to wish you luck in fighting your prejudice, and will hope that libmirage will be used to its full extent.

P.S. Oh, and AFAIR the size of the ‘standard types’ is machine-dependent (that is, poorly portable). And if you’re referring to stdint, it’s from C99 (C language standard, not C++), and not supported by msvc last time i’ve checked.

very weird lol

it installed fine, then changed the icons, then i went to mount an iso and it said about an update for something… im still installing progs for now but when ive done eveyrthing ill uninstall it and report back…

i honestly cant think what else would cause it though, some windows random fault when it installs the driver it seems…

thanks for your help so far much appreciated!

nope its not a standard install problem… you may be right on it just showing things it sees but i’d have no idea of the root problem of that!

before its installed, if you go to start>my computer> you’ll see drives… c/d/e/f whatever… this installer seems to add another D: at the bottom, but it looks like a folder not a drive… when you right click and go to properties all you can do is tick/untick read only and hidden… both of these dont really make a difference… if you go to the “shared” tab on the properties theres something about $D being shared, which i turned off as i dont use folder sharing.

also in the ‘my computer’ thing in the start menu it has added “printers and faxes” and “shared documents”… again with the same corrupt looking properties as the D folder…

these are also found on the left hand side of “windows explorer” when you turn on the “folders” view (left pane)

im fairly clued up on pc’s, usually its fairly simple to remove these folders/icons but ive tried everything. my whole experiment of reinstalling windows again this morning was to double check that this program causes the start menu error… im 95% sure its related to this. there was NOTHING else installed when i installed this, no ethernet drivers (virus/malware eliminated), no ram faults / hdd errors etc… checked all my stuff in dos because i was worried i had a bad drive… smart check also reports fine…

i was hoping it would be a common problem and there would be a simple fix for it! sounds like im the first with this problem lol

any ideas/tests/regedit adds deletes etc accepted! thanks 🙂

i dont know what else it could be….

i formatted c

installed winxp sp3 build 2600…

looked at my computer… everything fine… rebooted

installed emu…. instantly the my computer menu changed… i dont see how it can be anything else? there was nothing else on it at that point. i was wondering if its forced some things to display or something as its installed, but dont know the regedit stuff to change it back.

it was a clean install onto a formatted drive, it HAS to be this installer that causes it!

Thanks for the link. In my case (Win 7 Ultimate 64bit) it works perfect. 2 warnings about drivers but it is installed perfect. When I furst run the progam it said a certain driver is not found and ask me to update it. I clicked yes en voila… everything worked!!

thanks and keep up the good work!

update…. these are also in explorer when you use the “folders” left tab…

i cant get rid of these:-

printers/faxes
shared documents
D:

tried ticking “hidden” in properties etc, all the usual stuff…. i usually use tweaknow powerpack to hide these kind of things, but i installed cdemu before i put that on, and even though in tweaknow its showing as ‘hidden’ on all of these icons they are still there…

its not the end of the world, just sets my ocd side off a bit, i like to only have icons i use in windows!

Thank’s.

I installed sonic/roxio CD/DVD writing software once, and I uninstall that software last week.
But the uninstaller never touch pxhelp20.sys , I think.

So,
I uninstall the pxhelp20.sys by myself , then WinCDEmu run correctly.

Refer..(In Japanease anyway;-)

http://forums.roxio.jp/lofiversion/index.php/t466.html

Sum..
WinCDEmu + sonic/roxio CD/DVD Writer = Blue screen.
WinCDEmu + Adaptec CD Writer / WMP7/WMP9 = Blue screen.
WinCDEmu + CyberLink CD/DVD Writer = Run correctly.

For future versions support for MDS/MDF and NRG images would be nice.

project developers could probably check the Cdemu project out and port some usefull features here. In ideal case would be to port “libmirage” to Windows and use it:
http://cdemu.sourceforge.net/pkg_libmirage.php

Besides to wanted MSD/MDF and NRG image formats it supports:
* B6T: BlindWrite 5/6 file format
* C2D: WinOnCD file format
* CCD: CloneCD image format
* CDI: DiscJuggler file format
* CIF: Easy CD Creator format
* DAA: PowerISO direct access archives (unencrypted)
* TOC: Cdrdao’s TOC/BIN image format

Thanks! use @@masm(nt!…) work very well.
I think it is better to redirect these commands lik ‘u’,’bp’,’d’ and so on.

Thank’s lot.

The Cdr4_2K.SYS is Windows Media Player’s component.
And it can uninstall separately !

For example.
WMP 9 : rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:winntinfroxio.inf,Uninstall
WMP 7/7.1 : Controlpanel – select uninstall WMP7/7.1 – select “Adaptec CD Creater plugin”

In my case WMP9 was installded, and I was uninstall this module separately, then WinCDEmu run GREATLY!

Anyway,

I tried Windows 7 32Bit RC environment and it run GOOD!

so,

Windows XP 32Bit SP3 : Good !
Windows XP 64Bit SP3 : Good !
Windows Vista 32 SP2 : Good !
Windows Vista 64 SP2 : Next version will run with no F8 key.
Windows 7 32Bit RC : Good !
Windows 7 64Bit RC : Next version will run with no F8 key.
Windows 2000 SP4 : Next version and/or http://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/win2kfix/BazisVirtualCD.zip run Good ! (*1)
*1 : need uninstall Cdr4_2K.SYS.

Cool! WinCDEmu Command Line in the works already, I’m ready to beta test it!

Hi can someone tell me how I get rid of the “Test Mode” words which appear on all for corners of the screen and the evaluation message at the top. These appeared after I installed WIN CD-EMU on Win 2008 server 64-bit. Thanks

It says started service with success (translated from italian). In the Device Manager it says impossible to start the Hardware.
thanx

PS … Is it possible to ask you how you did set network bridge for Virtual Box? Maybe everybody want to know it.
