Subject: [Audyssey] dos vm shortcuts
Hi josh.
I had a look at the stuff, sadly since the com0com drivers are 64 bit only
I couldn't install them.
So at this time I won't continue right now at least till I can get some
time with an x64 box later on.
However after looking at all packages needed there are several shortcuts I
think should be investigated.
1. why is it necessary to run version 4 of vmware player its old and
won't probably get past win8 and the uac and security things anyway.
while the latest 7 is 64 bit only 6 is the latest version why use 4.
And why have it so you have to install it anyway, it seems better if you
included all the various stuff in a portable package.
2. why do you bother with python at all.
Why not use py2exe or something to compile the files to executable with a
lot of python compiled files for everything else and python whatever in a
dll like nvda does it, you really could put users off with all this
stuff..
3. pyserial has a version for the 3x current stable of python why are you
not using this and taking advantage of the newer features and other stuff,
or at least using 2.7 which is the latest stable of the 2x branch.
next, there must be a better way then installing extra drivers for com0com
straight to windows yes it makes sence and is probably a good idea, but
your average user won't care to have another vertual com port which could
be hacked by someone installed in their system, worse com0com latest
isn't even signed and only the 64 bit drivver is signed by someone else.
how much is it to get something signed.
Its a good idea but for what I am using it for, its not worth my while at
least right now.
I'd like to download a vm as a user, click and run and it all run.
this is a programmers vm and while thats fine for standard techs I am a
bit against installing possibly incompatable or old probably unsecured
software on a system with the potentual for dammage.
And its quite complex.
right now my 32 bit system is fine, and to be honest its probably easier
running an xp vm in a vm or win98 with some older software I have which
should in theory work fine without all the hastle or even the linux option
tom is working on.
Its a good step, however I really think getting dosbox to work with a
vertual synth is probably better or have dosbox use espeak or nvda or some
universal speech library to make things accessable in the long run.
