Oooook, after finding Mr. "/dists/win32/ScummVM.iss" I managed myself through some Inno Setup fun and I think I got the picture clear now. 8) And now, knowing that current source code works under WinXP, for Wilmunder's and Gilbert's sakes I beg you... don't break it unless you find it abso...

<t>Lo and behold! Current 2.9.x source code compilation using Docker within WSL v2 Debian on Windows11 host for "--host=i686-w64-mingw32.static" under "toolchains/mxe" worked flawlessly under Windows XP SP3! Both with "--enable-updates" and "--disable-sparkle" (I think those two work more or less li...

And it just... WORKS ! For some unspeakable reason last 2.9.x nightly build (April 9th) works with Windows XP again as long as you're pairing it with WinSparkle 0.7.0 or less (seems 0.8.0 was the first version to drop XP support). However, I'm 200% sure that 2.8.1 does NOT work, even paired with Win...

Outstanding!! Thank you so much, ccawley2011, for your understanding and the time you invested on trying to help. I'll be testing recommended workarounds in days ahead, and be sure that I'll post here again should I happen to find something that actually works. :D In the end I think that while WinXP...

So... Even if it's stated to be just a bugfix release 2.8.1 is out and a Win95+ appears available for download. The demise of WinXP runs long yet Win95+ remains (?!). Fine, I very much prefer to use that one and be able to keep using my old hardware for the classics (and I mean it; Pentium IV... 512...

I've just confirmed that FLAC is not supported on Win9x builds, and this is indeed a heavy concern, at least for me since several game files I ripped from original media and converted myself and I'm currently using (Loom VGA/FM-TOWNS, The 7th Guest, Gobliins 3...) depend on such an excellent lossles...

Understood, thank you. In fact, and specially if this makes your coding/compiling/debugging life easier, it makes sense to go further and ditch 32bit support completely. BUT (mind you, this is my honest opinion on this matter) only if you leave some room for us to somehow bridge the gap. What gap, y...

So, 2.8.0 is out. And it looks promising; for starters, I just can't wait to test the new faithfulness of BS1! However... WinXP stopped working after 2.7.0 and now Win9x version just disappeared from downloads as well. The question is simple: have you dropped not only support but also working builds...

Good news on this one! Seems Win9x 2.7.1 build finally works if properly set to use SDL 1.x environment variables (I had them set for SDL 2.x on WinXP previous builds). You may take a look: https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/14575#no1 But then again, I sincerely think that the request for a proper WinX...

It's done. Besides, Win95+ build doesn't even come with a proper installer AFAIK. I sincerely hope WinXP support will continue and it's just that we'll need to wait for some 2.7.2 version to see again a working build (in the worst case that a working 2.7.1 WinXP never sees the light).

Thank you, again! I may give it a try in days ahead. However, there's something I'd like to ask the development team about: whoever commented on my bug report says that as of now WinXP builds are deprecated, then he/she recommends to use Win9x builds instead. Well, as I told you Win9x doesn't work a...

No, Win95+ build didn't work under WinXP for me, not even with Win9x compatibility mode enabled and scummvm.ini created from scratch. The exact error is as follows: WARNING: OpenGLGraphicsManager::endGFXTransaction: Could not load any graphics mode!! Just asking, for I might decide to compile it mys...

So I did; ticket #14575 with normal priority. Thank you so much for finding it out, digitall! Hope it will be fixed soon; though I didn't dare to set a higher priority for the ticket I must admit I can't wait to properly use the new build, for it seems it finally fixes the issue with the volume in L...

Hello, Just reporting that no scummvm-2.7.1-winxp-win32 builds seem to work under Windows XP SP3 anymore (at least not for me). All them (up to 2.7.1-4) result on a "CTR+C" exit error on execution. scummvm-2.7.0-winxp-win32 builds work flawlessly though; I wonder whether it may be related ...
