This is a preliminary release of the DVDSynth source code (that part of it which works, anyway). I make no claims of cleanliness, functionality, etc. All DVDSynth components should build with VC++ 6.0. Most components also build with MinGW, except for dvdproxy.mpd, dvdproxy.sys, and MirrorDrive95.kll (and those only because I haven't ported them yet). Be careful about this last, because if you build MirrorDrive95.dll without MirrorDrive95.kll and try to run the result, you will probably get a nasty crash. The MinGW Makefile is kinda broken; in particular it doesn't know anything about the header files. You will also need NASM (a free assembler) to build the one ASM file that's currently in the distribution. You should not need the Windows DDK or any Windows header files beyond what come with VC++ and MinGW. There is a lot of code duplication in components which have separate "2k" and "95" versions. Eventually I will merge them and use conditional compilation. The VC++ projects put executable files into ./testbed (debug build) or ./testbed-release (release build). The MinGW Makefile uses ./testbed. Email comments and questions to benrg@roundelay.net. Standard legalese: All DVDSynth source code is Copyright 2002 Ben Rudiak-Gould.
