The issue actually has nothing to do with Bgt, unless it was compiled with a later version of Visual Studio. But the Elias Composer Studio, at least version 1.7 *the version of the Elias dll used in bgt is version 1* doesn't work on xp, producing the same error message that this is not a valid win32 application. Therefore any game that utilizes this engine, which you could see utilized mostly in The Gate and Psycho Strike, will absolutely need this dll. Think of Elias as midi on steroids. Single tracks of multitrack music that are utilized and mixed behind the scenes via the engine. That's how you're able to have a mood change in realtime as the adrenaline kicks in. As a more obvious example, look at how Treasure Hunt changed the music track altogether when you engaged in combat. If that game were using Elias, there could simply be some additional parts to the master background that could trigger as the game engaged in combat. If you want a perfect example of how dynamic music matters a lot more than you think, look at Killer Instinct. Bottom line, until Elias is made to work on xp which I wouldn't get your hopes up for, you're gonna have to run in windows 7 or above. Elias doesn't even run very well with Wine, at least not this version. Manamon works wonderfully on Wine though, so either it doesn't utilize Elias, or it's using a newer version, as newer versions were optimized for more platforms as you can see in the release notes. If you have a mac, running windows 17 and above with latency-free audio is more possible than before with Fusion10, as the realtech hdAudio soundcard implementation has improved and matured a great deal, making the older Soundblaster Ensonic1371 not as necessary.
