I've made a new patch, should work on Director 5 and 6 programs, and from my limited testing it works. Thanks to Gerard for the comment about Director Player 5 having the same byte sequence. To find 0xc742 in FRHED, look for the Offset in the bottom left.Įach set of double numbers/letters is a byte displayed in HEX, each byte adds 1 to the Offset I changed jge (0x7d) (Jump if Greater or Equal) to jle (0x7e) (Jump if Less or Equal) as Rene pointed out change it to jmp (0圎B)(Jump) The call before it seems to be the same for Director Player 5 and 6 so I have made a patcher that seems to work on both Director Player 5 and 6.įF 15 F4 AA 53 00 8B 45 84 03 85 7C FF FF FF 3D 20 75 38 00 7D 6E
Director player 6.0 this program requires Patch#
I opened IDA Pro and had a squiz, found the culprit and disabled it, I am not sure if the byte I changed is in the same place on all Director 6.0 games, or if the calls made before the byte I changed are the same, so I can't make a patch to change this automatically until I know these things, if you have another Director 6.0 program that is reporting this error send me the exe and I will see if I can release a patcher to fix this in all Director 6.0 exes. Most fixes revolve around setting your Virtual Memory under 1GB or 4GB+, which is a lot of messing around just to play an old game. I did a search on the net and found that when Windows moved from 98 to XP the way it reported Virtual Memory amounts was changed from bytes to kilobytes, which leads Director 6.0 to think that there is less Virtual Memory than there really is.
Director player 6.0 this program requires free#
I tried to play an old pool game today, when I ran it an error popped up saying 'Director Player 6.0', 'This program requires at least 3mb of free virtual memory to run.' If this doesn't help you, please leave a comment and let me know what you were looking for and maybe I can help. I'm getting 100+ people look at this each month, seems like tons of people still use these old Director programs. Fix '*mb of free virtual memory' on 'Director Player 6.0' and 'Director Player 5.0' programs on XP/Vista
