Hi Damien,
Oh, that is quite understandable. My opinion is similar to yours in
that a game or any software project should try and take account of as
many people as possible. The problem is, of course, that it is much
easier said than done. Even in the open source communities like Linux

Hi all,
Recently I have been making some drastic changes to the BGT core. As many of
you will know, most audio games today use a technology known as DirectSound to

interface of choice for all Windows based games. It

Could a check be built in to automatically check for the needed

I'm certainly OK with switching to the new.

Well, as long as I don't have to migrate past Windows XP Service

Why not make the switch? People should upgrade anyway, make a habit of it.
Maybe you could even incorporate XAudio2 within your installation so the

Hi Damien,
I'm sure you know this is coming, but I absolutely disagree with this.
For one thing it is not practical to include XAudio2 and DirectSound
in the same executable and it is going to become much harder to
support long term since Microsoft has officially dropped support for

I haven't had any luck with Inno Setup in testing for these
components, but I do know Advanced Setup Installer will test for
various requirements
Hi Shaun,
Not true. Yes, it is true that XAudio2 doesn't have a native pan
control but the way the API is designed it is rather simple to create
a custom pan control for XAudio2 that works exactly like DirectSound.
