Building Supermodel on Windows with Visual Studio 2008

[nikdd]

Just to confirm this is working for me.

Windows Vista and Visual Studio 2010 enterprise edition.

Thank you for the detailed instructions and thankyou Bart and other contributors for a fantastic emulator.

Hi Daytona,

Thanks for the feedback - good to know it works on Vista and Visual Studio 2010! When I have a moment I'll update the notes in the instructions to reflect the fact it's been successfully tested with this configuration.

Cheers, Nik.

I suggest that you should specify that Visual C++ 2008/2010 needs to be installed in order to compile the source code.
I happened to have installed only Visual Basic 2010 from Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and thus I wasted quite some time figuring out that I had to install Visual C++ 2010 too

Any word if this will compile using Visual Studio 2008 Express on Windows 7?

I would think it should... Give it a try and let us know.

Does only Visual C++ need to be installed, or the whole kit and caboodle?

The compiler and the Windows platform SDK must be installed. I'm not aware of any distributions of Visual C++ that do not include an IDE capable of opening project/solution files, so a bare bones installation is probably sufficient.

So I downloaded the entire VS 2008 Express ISO, not knowing which part to install, but I ended up only installing Visual C++ 2008.

In any case, I followed the instructions, and all went as planned.

It compiled, and runs fine.

So yeah, you can check off Visual Studio 2008 Express & Windows 7 as "working".

I tried Daytona 2 and Power Edition. The AI cars however, didn't have the fixed textures from your YouTube videos. Maybe you didn't add those to SVN yet?

Excellent!

Read the video description carefully. That was just research and a big hack. I haven't had time to examine it in any more detail (and it'll be a while before I do). It was never committed to SVN because it broke non-textured polygons.

Alright, hope to see it implemented soon.
One last question:

Is the multi-threading code implemented? Is there a command line switch?

The multi-threaded GPU code is enabled by default. The only way to disable it for now is to set GPUMultiThreaded=0 in the config file.
