Hello guys!

I've just bought a new laptop, windows 7 based, and i'm not able to execute neither mod2psg2 nor wla-dx. I've searched for known incompatibilities with newer O.S, but i've found nothing. Are these known flaws? will we have new versions of these tools?

Thx in advance!

Both should work but you may need to install the VC++ runtimes.

They're already installed....

Some more data on the issues i had:

For the mod2psg2, windows prompt me with a message saying that this program is not compatible with this windows version, and the program closes.

For the wla-dx, i'm able to assemble the source file, but i've the problem in the link step. if i try to execute it, the program crashes. If i try to execute it again, i receive this error:

hello.o:1: LOAD_FILES: Before file "WLAK" can be loaded you must define a group
for it.

mod2psg2 works fine here on a newly installed Windows 7 64-bit. I don't know what's wrong. :/

The problem with WLA could be the linker used wrongly. (You need to link with a linkfile.)

I've used both tools previously in a desktop computer with windows 7, and they worked. I'm now with these brand new laptop, and it's not working at all.

I'm attaching two images of my problems:

The first is the problem with mod2psg. My S.O. is in spanish, but i think taht it's more or less easy to see the problem.

And the second, is my problem with wla-dx. I was testing it with the hello world enhanced example by Maxim

mod2psg.JPG (31.77 KB)

wla-dx.JPG (70.38 KB)

Aha! Version 1.8. That's not mod2psg2, that's mod2psg1. I think that was a DOS program.

For WLA, you need a little linkfile like this:

[objects]
hello.o

And then link with the linkfile instead of the object file. More information in the documentation of course.

ups!. you're right! i was downloading the first psgmod! (i think that i used the second link in the software section of the music website).

I'll try it at home later...

I can confirm that all is ok! in my hurry of downloading again the tools, i made a couple of mistakes, and i blamed it to the windows version :-P

Thx!!
