Cray Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Linux does not get to run the Client, only a Server. Windows 98 is quite different and we have to do a manual searching for new addresses and the way it handles memory, which is not a fun experience. Link to comment
NoZero Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Windows 98 is quite different and we have to do a manual searching for new addresses and the way it handles memory, which is not a fun experience. Hmm maybe a stupid question, why should win98 be so different? If you'r right about the memory adresses being different, should gta:vc's memory structure at least not be the same? Then it would be enough to find one new address in win98's gta:vc of a variable, which winxp address already is known... Then the difference between those two adresses should be the same with all other adresses... or am i missing something? Link to comment
Cray Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 We don't really know, that is the problem. I fired up Win98 the other day (yes, i finally installed it), and tried doing some preliminary memory scanning, and everything seemed completely out of wack. A few of the addresses were the same, which is good, but then many were quite different. So, it is going to be a hard one to find. In theory, the memory should be similar, but we all know that the difference between 9x-based OS's and NT-based OS's are very very large. Link to comment
Guest Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 but will you be making a win98 version/patch - just so i dont get my hopes up... Link to comment
Guest Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 but will you be making a win98 version/patch - just so i dont get my hopes up... from what it sounds like, they dont really know when they are going to be able to make it win 98 compatible so i would recomend that u upgrade to winxp sometime soon (if you have the funds that is) but who knows, maybe something will happen and they will get it figured out only time will tell Link to comment
