A complete guide to getting Synth'N running (Windows Vista included)

[Goldfire]

I made a guide on getting Synth'n working under Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 - Including all different variations (32bit/64bit/home/pro, etc)

Many people said it cannot be done

The guide is located here: part1_demo

If people could have a look at it and think of any corrections, can you please let me know? It took the better half of my day to complete. A word of warning, it weighs in at around 20MB's. People with download quota's may need to keep this in mind.

I always wanted to get Synth'N working with Vista, but I've never managed to do so. I hope I can be able to with this tut which I will be checking out later today.

Uh... The Config screen isn't even coming up o.o

Seems to be it doesn't work with x64 Systems. I tried x64 Vista and 7; both have the same error: "ActiveX Can't create obeject: 426" (or smth like that)

Got it to run with VMware and XP Professional, though

Sorry for the very late reply, if you're still interested in getting Synth'N going, please follow the guide very carefully, especially when using 64-bit operating systems. The reason the config wont appear and the fact you are getting ActiveX errors are related to the DX8 DLL, which is apart of the guide I've written.

Good guide, but you should include that Vista- part before instaling, because Config wont show without it.
And hey, there is no "Run"- window on vista.

Now i get this for every song i try:
"Loading song
ERROR : unknown error in NMS Reader. in NMS file cherokee_easy_5k_3.nms line: 268"
And i have PAK of that

Its another way of emulating DJMAX online
Synth is alot better but its not vista compatible (well unless you do this)
There's also 02Mania but the timing itself kinda sucks.

As I know, there is no way to unpack them.

A DJ Max Online Emulator? Damn Why didn't I know about this? Don't even matter, I got it to work, plays great and some of the songs in the list take me back to when Online's servers were still open. Now I've found the perfect excuse to stop playing DJ Max Trilogy and IIDX Empress for a bit.
