Re: [Audyssey] game file path
Hi Thomas, I now have the VB6 code to check to see if the kitchensinc folder in XP is at C:\Documents and Settings\Jim kitchen\My Documents\kitchensinc. If it does not exist, it makes the kitchensinc folder and can write the game files to that path. I am hoping of course that the code does find the My Documents path in Windows Vista, 7 and 8. Guess that it is supposed to. I personally have never used My Documents, but it might be easier for people to find the files there in the kitchensinc folder.

Re: [Audyssey] game file path
Hi Shaun, Truthfully I was not looking for sympathy. My Accent synthesizer served me well for about a dozen years. And now the Triple Talk has been running for close to that. I do still like the Triple Talk, but the Accent was so mechanical sounding that I do like Eloquence a bit better. But I especially for games, do like having the totally different and great sounding sapi5 voices. And over all I am very happy with my old but running fine XP computers.

Re: [Audyssey] game file path
Hi Jim, That's a good idea. I've thought about writing my own saved games etc to My Documents as well as they will be easier to find, edit, and/or delete if someone removes the game. Anyway, as long as you get the right environment variable it should work regardless of what OS the person is running. The registry handles the location of all personal folders regardless if it is something like c:\Documents Settings\Jim\My Documents or something like c:\Users\Thomas\My Documents on Windows Vista and later.

Re: [Audyssey] game file path
Hi Shaun, Sure 1.5 GB should be enough for an XP virtual machine. I've run XP on a PC with 256 MB of ram at one time so 1.5 should be plenty of ram for an XP virtual machine.

Re: [Audyssey] game file path
Hi, You are absolutely right. Running XP in a virtual machine isn't the same is running it on a PC natively. There is going to be a bit of a performance hit no matter what you do just because it is running inside a piece of software like VMWare Player on top of say Windows 7, and some updates in service pack 3, for whatever reason, seems to aggravate the situation by slowing the virtual machine down. Still, over all, I agree with your point about upgrades in general. If it weren't running in a virtual machine I'd probably put service pack 3 on their for the security fixes, bug fixes, and of course to get updates like Internet Explorer 8, Windows Media Player 11, and a few other updates that require service pack 3 to run. I generally upgrade when and where possible unless there is a specific reason not to do so such as this case where service pack 3 slows my virtual machine down, and since I am only playing older Dos and Windows games in the virtual machine anyway a lot of the updates in service pack 3 don't really apply to what I'm doing in the virtual machine in the first place. So I can forgo the updates in that particular instance. Cheers! At 10:49 PM 5/20/2013, you wrote: I can see some updates of xp not being very fast in a VM. You have to remember that when running a VM the original op along with the VM and second op are running. So you have 2 ops running with a connected interface translating.

Re: [Audyssey] game file path
Hi Thomas, Yes, when I bought my game development computer I was still running a dos computer for Email and the Internet. Then when it went bad I bought a new Windows computer to do Email and the Internet on. My game development computer also has an external USB Triple Talk hardware synthesizer. It frees up the system resources that Eloquence would take. Which is probably good when working in the VB6 IDE. Even though I have worked in VB6 on the Internet computer with Eloquence. But heck I still have an Accent stand alone hardware synthesizer. It just is not as responsive with JFW as it was with JFD. I guess the hard thing is knowing if the newest really might be the best, or if it is just hype from the company trying to sell it. Interesting though that you found out that the third service pack for your virtual XP really was not good. I have not yet worked with the SHGetFolderPath function.

Re: [Audyssey] game file path
Well I do sympathise with you. howeverthings are changing. I used to have a couple synths a keynote external and a dectalk which never ran right with xp at all. Ofcause its a bit mute now, my systems well most of the newer ones I have don't even have a serial port. The later systems I have both desktop and laptop a like don't even have a modem or moniter port. its all usb 2 3 and hdmi now with wired and wireless broadband connecters so unless you get a card or adaptor or something your serial device may be no go. Not to mention that some try to access ports directly which guess what windows really gets cranky about. Firstly its secured against direct access and second more often than not it really doesn't connect to any physical ports these days unless forced to its all vertual. in the case with my dectalk express, the system tried to go through sam and tried to directly interface with the hardware which windows would not let it. in the best case it would work but not run right speaking it through the soundcard in a weird language and at worst windows would detect something was trying to mess with its port and lock me out of starting the box. The only way to fix it was to reformat. After trying this at least 20 times and having to reformat almost every time I surmised this was probably something to that effect and stopped trying. Ofcause it ended up not mattering as both synths broke and ports went away. I have always said I'd get an external synth but with all the junk thats going round with all the space and devices I have I've never got round to it. my first nettable system was in 1996 when I got my first pcmcia card modem. Before I had dos but it was not for much at all.

Interesting though that you found out that the third service pack for your virtual XP really was not good. I have not yet worked with the SHGetFolderPath function. I plan to see if I can get it all working though.

Re: [Audyssey] game file path
Hi Jim, Actually, I didn't know your development computer has never been connected to the Internet, but that would drastically change the necessity to update and how often. Most of the Windows updates are security fixes and patches for security holes found by crackers and viruses. Without that constant risk of being infected or attacked by a determined cracker I'd imagine the system would run pretty smooth as long as it was kept in optimal running condition which it sounds like you've done. There is some truth to the saying sometimes newer is not better. I know when I am running XP in a virtual machine putting service packs 1 and 2 on improves performance, but the minute I put service pack 3 on the system it runs terrible. It is for that reason I've got an XP virtual machine I use for running all my older Dos and Windows games, but I absolutely refuse to put service pack 3 and any later updates on my XP virtual machines because the virtual machine runs like crap. However, since the virtual machine isn't used for the Internet etc, just for playing games and such, I don't need all those extra patches, security updates, etc.. :D FYI, it looks as though the function you use to get the App Data folder is the SHGetFolderPath function found in older versions of Shell32.dll and SHGetKnownFolderPath on Vista and later.

Hi Jim, Yeah, I don't know if Internet Explorer 7 or 8 will work with a version of Jaws too old. There is a lot of new stuff such as multitabbed browsing etc Jaws may have difficulties with given that the UI has changed quite a bit since Internet Explorer 6.

I did a quick Google search, and found a decent article which discusses why you shouldn't write to your program folder and then tells you have to save to your user application data folders with code examples. Try this link Where should I store my files that my program uses/creates? http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?564256-Classic-VB-Where-should-I-store-the-files-that-my-program-uses-creates As stated this article explains how to do this properly for XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 and gives some code examples. Hope this helps. :D On 5/14/13, Jim Kitchen j...@kitchensinc.net wrote: Hi Thomas, I found that the VB6 change path command chdir does not like the %appdata% And I am not sure how to get VB6 to ask for it to get the path to write the game files to. However the below works Open c:\kit.bat For Output As #1 Print #1, cd %appdata% Close #1 Shell c:\kit.bat, 3 DoEvents G$ = CurDir So if I am allowed to write that first bat file, g$ would now have the path to write the game files to. Well I guess that I would first want to check for and ad a sub folder kitchensinc, but other than that...
