You know the drill by now: Another year and 8-9 Rust versions later, it's time for a new Rust9x update! Rust9x provides Windows downlevel support for the Rust standard library, bringing it to Windows 95, 98, ME, and most NT-based Windows versions. See the project wiki on Github: rust9x/rust . What's new? # Rebased and partially reimplemented all fallback code on-top of Rust 1.93-beta .…
A friend cleaned up and gave me a copy of a game I've not heard about before: Castrol Honda Superbike World Champions , a motorbike racing game for PC, released 1998 by Interactive Entertainment Ltd. and Midas Interactive Entertainment. Given the age of the game (and looking at the system requirements) it's clear that the game comes from the tricky era of early 3D-accelerated PC gaming. For…
Another year has passed, oh how the time flies! Time for some Tier 4 target action once again! Rust9x adds support for Windows 9x and older NT-based Windows versions to Rust. See the project wiki on Github: rust9x/rust . What's new? # Rebased and reimplemented all fallback code ontop of the ~29600 commits of progress from Rust 1.76 to Rust 1.84-beta The thread parker now only conditionally falls…
20 months since the initial release, Rust9x is back, whether you like it or not! I've spent the last couple of days migrating the changes from Rust 1.61-beta to Rust 1.76-beta, and filling some of the holes in API support on the way. See the project wiki on Github: rust9x/rust and the previous announcement post . What's new? # Other than the obvious update to Rust 1.76 with all its benefits, there…
Discuss on Reddit , URLO , HN tl;dr: see the project wiki on Github: rust9x/rust You might remember my old post about the journey to get at least a bit of Rust code working for Windows 98 SE . Well, I'm back, this time with a more ambitious package: Announcing Rust9x (Rust 1.61.0-beta) # Blazingly fast! Y2k compliant! Works everywhere! Over on Github you'll find a forked Rust repository containing…
Discussion on /r/rust , HN , Rust user forum tl;dr: It actually works, mostly! See the conclusion down below. Did you know that Rust has a Tier 2 target called i586-pc-windows-msvc ? I didn't either, until a few days ago. This target disables SSE2 support and only emits instructions available on the original Intel Pentium from 1993. So, for fun, I wanted to try compiling a binary that works on…
Note: All hashes and passwords are redacted. Previously ... # In January 2019, the installer files for IDA 7.2 were leaked. This does not mean it was usable however, as you need an installer password to install and a licence file to activate it. Separately to that, a license file from ESET was leaked, which didn't match the feature set of the installer file. But all the leaks didn't matter,…
