Heh, seems that Japheth is just now uploading new files, found HXDEV216.zip.filepart 16-Nov-2009 09:52 820K

http://japheth.de/HX/Download/

OK, got the 4 new files, all dates are updated to today's 2009-11-16, but no breaking news in, my observations apply to the old version before 2009-11-16 9:20 , though.

- BUG: MediaInfo still doesn't work, it crashes if you supply anything non-empty on the commandline, it can't even complain about "MEDIAINFO.DLL not found" (it works on XP).

- Missing import in BOCHS 2.4 and 2.4.2:

dpmild32: import not found: MapDialogRect
dpmild32: file USER32.dll
dpmild32: d:\box\dgdi32.dll: cannot resolve imports

> SetFilePointer(), parameter 'origin': validity check added.

> cmp origin,2 ;just 0,1 or 2 allowed
> ja error57

Great FFMPEG and derivatives work now.

Critical fix 9 days ago: file HDPMIHIS.TXT added

Flaw: SB16.DLL is unconditionally loaded by WINMM.DLL, then if (as usual) no ISA SB 16 sound devide found, switching to silent mode. Possibly better way to do: load SB16.DLL conditionally by LoadLibrary , if not found switch to silent mode. Splitting this SB16.DLL off was a good idea of course, just no ICH.DLL and HDA.DLL yet
