===Compiler===
===Compiler===
* As Compiler is Intel(R) C++ Compiler for 32-bit applications in version 5.0.1 Build 010922Z used with Visual Studio 6.0 (SP5).
* Former versions (1.0.0.0,1.1.0.0,.1.2.0.0 (not the 1.20a release) used standalone Visual Studio 6.0 build 8168)
* Intel Compiler was initially used in version 1.20a of Loader7.exe
* Later versions of LOADER7 used Intel(R) C++ Compiler for 32-bit applications in version 5.0.1 Build 010922Z used with Visual Studio 6.0 build 8168 (SP5) as Compiler.
* OS used to compile DEV7 1.3.0.0 was Windows 2000 Professional (SP2)
* OS used to compile DEV7 1.3.0.0 was Windows 2000 Professional (SP2)
* DEV7 1.3.0.0 is using various Compiler flags: -I -O2 -Ob2 -G6 -Qvc6 -Qlocation -MT -DWIN32 -c -Fo -D_WINDOWS -Iinclude -DCURE_SOFT_USE_TILETMAP
* DEV7 1.3.0.0 (1.30, 1.30a, 1.30b) is using various Compiler flags: -I -O2 -Ob2 -G6 -Qvc6 -Qlocation -MT -DWIN32 -c -Fo -D_WINDOWS -Iinclude -DCURE_SOFT_USE_TILETMAP
* DEV7 1.20a used this Compiler flags: DPOLYFILLER_USE_RENDER_555ASM -DPOLYFILLER_USE_RENDER_555C -DPOLYFILLER_USE_RENDER_888
* Older DEV7 version (most likely 1.0.0.0) used the /MAP flag to generate an Loader7.map debug symbol file.
* used CPP files in the Compiler: CVMDDecoder.cpp, C2DSurfaceFill.cpp, C2DSurfaceBitBlt.cpp, AudioDecompressor.cpp, CUREImage.cpp, MUtilsSqrt.cpp, MUtilsMatrix.cpp, MUtilsQuaternion.cpp, AudioCompressor.cpp, mmxMemcpy.cpp, C2DSurfacePixel.cpp, C2DSurfaceCopy.cpp, C2DSurfaceMove.cpp, C2DSurfaceBlend.cpp, AudioAdpcmCodec.cpp, CUREImageQuant.cpp, scanline_ArbitraryTextureAlone.cpp, scanline_Flat.cpp, scanline_Gouraud.cpp, scanline_TextureAffine.cpp, scanline_TextureAffineGouraud.cpp, scanline_TextureCorrected.cpp, scanline_TextureCorrectedGouraud.cpp, scanline_ZBuffer.cpp, MUtils.cpp, CUREImageScale.cpp, ObjectNodeCollide.cpp, OctreeQuant.cpp, OctreeQuantDither.cpp, ModelSphere.cpp, ModelTriangle.cpp, ModelBox.cpp, ModelSphereCollide.cpp, ModelBoxCollide.cpp, ModelTriangleCollide.cpp, OBBTreeCollide.cpp

Development

  • DEV7 was developed by I.C.E Development for Coktel Vision.
  • The Development began in the year 2000 and from there the DEV7 era began until 2008
  • DEV7 was initally developed for the so called ADI 5-Project.
  • DEV7 is an virtual Speech machine.

Contact

1.2.0.0

  • Uses a new version of SCRIPT.INF for the installation of the Game.
  • Uses a new Installer (SETUP.EXE) instead of using the old Installer from Adibou 2 / Adi 4.
  • a new Uninstaller (UNINST.EXE) is used by 1.2.0.0 aswell.
  • Also uses a new UNINST.INF for the uninstalling the Game.

Compiler

  • Former versions (1.0.0.0,1.1.0.0,.1.2.0.0 (not the 1.20a release) used standalone Visual Studio 6.0 build 8168)
  • Intel Compiler was initially used in version 1.20a of Loader7.exe
  • Later versions of LOADER7 used Intel(R) C++ Compiler for 32-bit applications in version 5.0.1 Build 010922Z used with Visual Studio 6.0 build 8168 (SP5) as Compiler.
  • OS used to compile DEV7 1.3.0.0 was Windows 2000 Professional (SP2)
  • DEV7 1.3.0.0 (1.30, 1.30a, 1.30b) is using various Compiler flags: -I -O2 -Ob2 -G6 -Qvc6 -Qlocation -MT -DWIN32 -c -Fo -D_WINDOWS -Iinclude -DCURE_SOFT_USE_TILETMAP
  • DEV7 1.20a used this Compiler flags: DPOLYFILLER_USE_RENDER_555ASM -DPOLYFILLER_USE_RENDER_555C -DPOLYFILLER_USE_RENDER_888
  • Older DEV7 version (most likely 1.0.0.0) used the /MAP flag to generate an Loader7.map debug symbol file.
  • used CPP files in the Compiler: CVMDDecoder.cpp, C2DSurfaceFill.cpp, C2DSurfaceBitBlt.cpp, AudioDecompressor.cpp, CUREImage.cpp, MUtilsSqrt.cpp, MUtilsMatrix.cpp, MUtilsQuaternion.cpp, AudioCompressor.cpp, mmxMemcpy.cpp, C2DSurfacePixel.cpp, C2DSurfaceCopy.cpp, C2DSurfaceMove.cpp, C2DSurfaceBlend.cpp, AudioAdpcmCodec.cpp, CUREImageQuant.cpp, scanline_ArbitraryTextureAlone.cpp, scanline_Flat.cpp, scanline_Gouraud.cpp, scanline_TextureAffine.cpp, scanline_TextureAffineGouraud.cpp, scanline_TextureCorrected.cpp, scanline_TextureCorrectedGouraud.cpp, scanline_ZBuffer.cpp, MUtils.cpp, CUREImageScale.cpp, ObjectNodeCollide.cpp, OctreeQuant.cpp, OctreeQuantDither.cpp, ModelSphere.cpp, ModelTriangle.cpp, ModelBox.cpp, ModelSphereCollide.cpp, ModelBoxCollide.cpp, ModelTriangleCollide.cpp, OBBTreeCollide.cpp
  • LOADER7.exe / Dev7VM.exe was built for NT version 4.0 and still works without any issues under Windows 11.

Identify

How i know which Version i have?

  • If your LOADER7.exe have a blue icon then you have Version 1.3.0.0 to verify it you can go to Properties > Details and then File & Product Version will show 1.3.0.0 and it also shows the Original Filename Dev7VM.exe
