Posted by R36 #9346 on Thu Oct 30 15:20:23 2014, in response to BVE on WINDOWS 7, posted by FarRock on Wed Oct 29 22:04:47 2014. BVE versions older than 5.0 relied on certain DirectX libraries that are essentially deprecated. The libraries in question did not ship with Windows 7 or even Vista!OpenBVE works with Windows Vista, 7, and 8, Mac OS X, and Linux. It is designed to replicate and expand the feature set of BVE. Try it if you want. However, if you're dead set on running Mackoy's old software (Even Mackoy himself calls it old) on your modern operating system, you can find instructions here. You will need 3 DLL files from an old Windows XP installation, though the above link supposedly has links where you can download these DLL files. However, I recommend copying them from an old Windows XP install if you can. Downloading DLLs from Web sites built for the purpose of serving such files can be a bit dodgy. Anyway, the files are: dx7vb.dll, dx8vb.dll, d3drm.dll As for getting them to work, I'll leave you with the instructions. |
