Hello everyone,

I was working sometime ago on a game using the following:

Visual C++ 2008 Express

DDRAW.LIB|H

DSOUND.LIB|H

DINPUT.LIB|H

DINPUT8.LIB

WINMM.LIB

DXGUID.LIB

Will the game still work on all the newer operating systems?

Thank you,

Josheir

Thanks you two! I guess what your saying, Sean, is that newer operating systems might need there software built using a more current visual studio and if they do than these SDK libs I mentioned should be replaced with newer libs?

Thank you,

Josheir

I just don't get it! Why would I be using a different visual studio? Could someone please respond to these two posts? It's really important to me!

Thank you,

No. He's saying that if you're using a newer version of Visual Studio you might have to change a few things or manually install certain libraries.

In my opinion, if you're planning to build upon this old code you have, I'd say that you should just bite the bullet and port it over to modern libraries. If you just want to build the code once for nostalgic purposes however, I'd just download the older libraries and build the project from there.
