64-bit WinUAE doesn't work on 64-bit Windows XP
The 64-bit WinUAE 3.4.0 executable fails to run on Windows XP x64. A dialog box appears saying "C:\Program Files\WinUAE\winuae64.exe is not a valid Win32 application."
For more information see http://www.tripleboot.org/?p=423 By modifying four bytes in the PE header as explained there I got 64-bit WinUAE to run on XP x64. Bytes to change: Code:
Offset From To 0x1C0 06 05 0x1C2 00 02 0x1C8 06 05 0x1CA 00 02 Code:
dumpbin /headers winuae.exe 5.01 operating system version 5.01 subsystem version dumpbin /headers winuae64.exe 6.00 operating system version 6.00 subsystem version I tested the patched winuae64.exe by loading a DOC demo and it ran fine, except with no sound (there was sound with 32-bit WinUAE). But that may just be a bug/problem/issue with the VirtualBox sound driver? winuae64.exe (fixed): DS: DirectSoundCreate8() failure: 8878000A S=1 F=0878 C=000A (10) winuae.exe (32 bit): DS: 00140004 1:00000000 2:00000000 4:00000033 4:00000603 4:00000107 6:0000003F 6:0000060F DS: 00000000,CH=2,FREQ=44100 'Primary Sound Driver' buffer 16384, dist 4096 DS: 2205 = (3969 - 1764) DS: bs=128 w=10240 max=16384 tof=21845 tuf=29127 |

It is by design. 64-bit XP is not supported. I am not even sure if Vista 64-bit is supported but officially it is Windows 7 64-bit or later only.

Starting with 3.6.0b9, after patching the header as described above 64-bit WinUAE seems to work perfectly on Windows XP x64. Sound works fine.
Maybe this item in the 3.6.0b9 changelog fixed the no-sound problem??? - 64-bit only bad stack linker setting corrected, caused random crashes and caused file dialogs to crash if certain shell extensions were installed. (Thanks mutetus!) |

Irrelevant. 64-bit XP or Vista is still not supported even if it appears to work.
EDIT: I especially don't want any reports/comments from XP 64-bit or Vista 64-bit users. No normal user uses those.. Last edited by Toni Wilen; 23 December 2017 at 12:27. |

Who still uses Windows XP these days?? Support for it disappeared years ago!
Heck, I've only just recently moved off of Windows 7 after, well, seven years! |
