Hi Papabaer,

Hmmm.... there is no OS check in ecc.exe , can you add a screenshot please?, it could be an Autoit core problem (Autoit it may not be ready for Win7 yet), anyone else has this problem with Win7?

[Gruby]

My ECC is running fine.
Win7 32bit

No problem with ECC in Win 7 x64 other then a MAME issue that was easily fixed by using a 64 bit version of MAME.

[Papabaer]

Sory, sorry, sorry.

It's not an ECC Error it ist from Xpadder which ist starting atomaticly with ECC (it was the GamePad Icon in the TopLine of the Error Window i did't see )

It says (translated from german ):

Not supported Windows Version detected

found: unknown
needed: 2000,XP,Server 2003,Vista

This Program needs extended Features, which only would supported in actuall Versions


i use Windows 7 RC1 64Bit

Hi Papabaer,

Yes, it also seems that for a newer Xpadder you have pay money ;(

Maybe it's better to not load Xpadder with ECC on a Win7 OS, i can insert this into ECC.EXE, what do you guys think?

[Vicman]

Does it exist some similar Free-Utility, to use with Win7 & eCC ?
I don't use Win7 yet, but if i do, i need such a "joystick-program"....

Maybe this can help: http://forum.gametribe.com/showthread.php?t=17602

I just tried to setup Xpadder for Kicks on Windows 7 and it won't run...
But if you run Xpadder in Windows XP (SP3) Compatibility Mode it works like a charm.

Please test this out, and let me know!

[Papabaer]

Thanks Phoenix,

works great in XP SP3 compatibility-mode. I have installed many old games on my Win 7 the last weeks and many times one of the compatibility-modes was the healing, but i thing with the xpadder problem my brain turned off and i forgott everything

Thanks again for the fast support.

Hi papabaer, great that it worked, but...can you ZIP and post the Xpadder shortcut with XP SP3 compatibility please?, because i want to let ecc use this shortcut to run Xpadder on windows 7 systems.

Thanks in forward!

[Papabaer]

Hi Phoenix,

i don't know exactly what you mean. I just right-klicked on the exe choosed propperties and then the wanted compatibility-mode. I think windows stores that info in the registry?

[Phoenix]

Hi Papabaer,

Can you create a shortcut for Xpadder on Win7 then?, with compatibility active, then ZIP and post if over here please?

[Papabaer]

Hi Phoenix,

when i create a shortcut for xpadder and then zip it, there is only the xpadder.exe inside the zip. i never ziped a shortcut..is that a normal behavior? do you want that? and when i try to put this shortcut into this post, it's also the exe.

the thing with the mode is the registry i think.

there is an entry in

Path
HKEY_USERS\S-x-x-xx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxx\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers

Entry
F:\Emula\Multi System\emuControlCenter\ecc-core\thirdparty\xpadder\Xpadder.exe

Parameter
WINXPSP3


Hope that helps you

ECC runs perfectly under Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
It was installed in Windows XP and now it works under Windows 7.
XPadder is always disabled on my PC.

First, sorry Phoenix to have bothered you with useless informations

Then, I confirm that a registry key is enough in windows 7 x64 to make xpadder run in XP SP3 compatibility mode.

Here are the informations you could use to automate this with ECC, beginning with how Autoit recognise Win7, unfortunately, it's like a Vista x64...

Here are the infos you'll get with AutoIt :

Spoiler: show

@OSArch : X64
@OSVersion : WIN_VISTA
@OSType : WIN32_NT

Here is the registry key :

Spoiler: show

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers]
"Drive-letter:\\path_to...\\emuControlCenter\\ecc-core\\thirdparty\\xpadder\\Xpadder.exe"="WINXPSP3"

If you add this key, it will be added to the registry HKEY_USERS\S-x-x-xx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxx\Software\... too.

And here is the file containing the registry key not modified (with my path), and the infos in a txt file, good play with it
