It doesn't look like it (I still had to get the redist for VS2008 though and get the latest DX monthy stuff)... oh well.

Edit: Although, I have no idea why this thread was locked... oh well.

Statically linking should remove the dependency on the compiler runtime installer, but not the DirectX web update.

Well, that didn't happen then. The app still gave me a "missing mfc90.dll" and such...

Yeah, thanks. :)

I guess I should have been more explicit. Future compiles, from what I hear from Spacy, if there will be any, will be linked static to the MSVC runtimes.

I'm sure the thousands upon thousands of people waiting on the Mother 3 translation will be extremely grateful for this :)

Thanks, chrono!

Oh yeah, MFC needs to be set to static as well.

I think you just need to get the latest DX runtime update.

thanks that worked and it also made me realize that I was way behind on DX updates, I thought autoupdate was supposed to take care of that but I guess not.

Nah, Autoupdate won't effect that. It's pretty much for security updates only.

Could you give a little more info? Where exactly does this happen? On the title screen?

Edit: Nevermind, I found it. Thanks for the bug report.

Thanks, you can work around this by setting it to CGB/GBC or GBA, either me or Chrono will get a fix in for this.

SGB and GB are effected

More bugs:

- Pitman (J): Graphics corruption at the title screen

- Beetlejuice (U): Only half of the sound channels are playing (to reproduce this just watch the intro)

Maybe this is a bug, and maybe it's just a missing feature, but VBA-M on linux appears to only be able to open gz archives and not zip archives.

Is this expected behavior?

Say, in a couple weeks, when the Mother 3 translation is released, I'd like to recommend VBA-M to everyone, but how would you guys prefer I do this? Should I link directly to the vbacompiles directory, would you prefer to have a page for it that I link to, or should I just post the latest version on the translation site itself? We already get ~10,000 unique visits a day, so when the big day comes, I expect there'll be several times that, and probably a big % of those will be dloading the emulator too. It's gonna be a lot of bandwidth/server stress, which is why I thought I'd ask in advance :P

To the main VBA-M page and forum. I'm sure the VBA-M team would like the new publicity for the emu. Plus, the Ngemu site has plenty of bandwidth. Only my own personal site, I have a shitload of bandwidth. So when the time comes, I can host a binary with UPS support.

Also, as for UPS support, in case you didn't read, chrono has finalised the UPS patches to VBA-M. All that needs to happen is for them to be applied to the source.

Well, considering I have been out of the loop, I do not know if they had been applied or not. Hence what I said. :|

OK, cool, sounds good to me. My only worry then is that since there aren't prominent links to where to download the latest compiled version right away, most people will be like, "Huh?" and go somewhere else. I can try to direct people to the right place, but I dunno how effective that'll be. If it's any indication, many people trying to use the old menu patch didn't even know how to browse for files on their computer or use drop-down boxes, so all this "SVN compiles" and stuff will likely make their brains blow up ;)

In that case, point them to the most recent SVN compile as well as the needed files.
