Thanks! I will try.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] DrBurkov:
Perfectly!

I was able to compile putty.exe and it works on Windows 10 (ARM) on my Surface RT!!!

Thank you very much!

I will try to compile another source code..

Thank you very much for these files.

Now I can play Baldur's Gate on my Surface.

I have studied the porting technology to Windows RT. Even managed to port Chocolate Duke3D. I was going to port GemRB. It's good that I won't need to do this now.

Maybe I'll try porting Evolution X or Open Morrowind.

Here you can find many ported applications, games and libraries for RT.

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] DrBurkov:
Unfortunately, your Chocolate Duke3D port didn't start on my Surface RT (Windows 10 RT). When the application starts, it displays an error. I put the DUKE3D.GRP file in the application folder.

However, the application I compiled works. But the new game starts only without sound (you can turn it on later). I attach my version of the application.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] DrBurkov:
Good afternoon!

Unfortunately, I was unable to run your GemRB on my MS Surface with Windows 10 RT. The application shows error 0xc0000005. Could you attach a GemRB project for MS Visual Studio 2012. I will try to recompile it similarly to ChocolateDuke3D.

Thanks!

can somebody compile ioquake3 for ARM64?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] DrBurkov:
I'm unloading all the ports of the Quake game. I ran them on MS Surface RT (Win10RT, ARM). They will probably work on ARM64. The data files of the original games are required for the game.

This version was installed with Windows 10 RT. I just copied it. It will probably work. It is not integrated into the system, but file associations can be set.

@frylockk19 I've recently seen this article on ZDnet (https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-run-linux-desktop-apps-on-windows/) and was thinking if we could install an configure an ARM32 linux with the already ported QEMU, we would only need to port the Xming X Server for Windows (http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/) and then we could install Firefox on linux and use it like a "Windows App"...

It is just a thought, because I don't know how is the performance of the QEMU port and I don't know if it is possible or easy to port the Xming X Server... :)

What do you thing? Do you think it could be possible? :)

I've managed to compile fheroes2 (open source reimplementation of Heroes2 engine) for WinRT 8.1.

Sadly it is pretty old version of game (0.8.4) but i'm trying to port more recent version of it (work in progress).

Screenshot:

You need original Heroes2 game files but demo works okay. Just put content into root with fheroes2.exe.

You also will need vc runtime 2013.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] mcosofacun:
Here is latest build available 1.1.0 of fheroes2 engine. Works just fine.

I have already downloaded the new one.maybe its a XDA bug
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] netham45:
It's something up with localization, which is actually really hard for me to debug, not having a non-English tablet.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] zero-gravity:
DOSbox is running great on my vivotab with german localization!

I Play arround with some oldschool games i have from my collection. "3D" runs slow. ;) tested with Doom II (runs like a flashback to my 386 with 33 MHZ but much better than the Flash-Version from the Net) Corridor7 (Wolfenstein Engine) runs slow like Doom. - 22% CPU usage

But Sidescrollers like Duke Nukem 1+2 and the whole Commander Keen Collection is pretty fine to Play. - ~10% CPU usage

it is very funny to Play around with it. Thank you netham! :)

From two pages ago:
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] mamaich:
The process is the same as compilation for x86. You'll need only to "hack" visual studio 2012 as was explained on the stackoverflow link posted a bit earlier, and add missing import libraries made by this tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2093899

You'll need a full (not starter) VS2012 package to make C++ programs.

For the remote debugging to work - you'll need to install a visual studio ARM debugger package on the device. Start reading from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/hh781607.aspx - the page contains a link to arm redistributable. Screenshots are for metro apps, debuggind desktop apps is similar.

For the compiled desktop apps to be debugged on RT with the full source code information - you'll need to edit project settings, change the PDB file format from "PDB .. for edit and continue" to "Program Database /Zi" in "C/C++" / "debug information format". You'll need to play with the project deployment, I had some problems, don't remember exactly which. I did it simplier - shared a "debug" folder from a development PC to RT over a network, mapped it as a Z: drive to RT device, and in debugger setting specified a Z:\Debug\my_prog.exe as a program to launch on a remote side.

windows xp through bochs

So i was looking at the specs you needed to run windows xp, and our surface fits! So i was just wondering, is it possible to load windows xp through bochs, and if so, mind helping me do it?

---------- Post added at 07:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 AM ----------

Thankyou! Although it does seem very confusing :eek: it will take me a while to get into it :\
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] lilstevie:
how do you figure this? The surface isn't the same architecture as computers that meet the MSRs for XP, which means a lot of overhead for emulation
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] netham45:
3.5 will not run on the Surface, we don't have the binaries for it.

Just the start menu for now, don't really plan on porting anything else from it. I just did it to see if it'd work, mostly. I had to restart explorer after jailbreaking before I could get it to launch.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Mantenner:
Oh well, i heard someone was getting it to work
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
OK, serious question time: what does it take to get somebody posting rights to these forums? Because minhtuan99bk has totally earned it.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8557161/rt/Python27armrt.7z

It's not complete - the foreign function interface (same thing I get stuck on) is missing, so there's a lot of stuff that won't work (basically, anything that isn't pure Python, i.e. anything that needs to call into compiled APIs). The MSI file module is also missing (big loss, I'm sure...) but it runs, and handles at least trivial scripts.

For those asking about emulation: a reasonable expectation for the overhead of emulating x86 is somewhere in the range of a factor of 10-20 slowdown. Thus, the Surface RT's 1.3GHz quad-core CPU can be thought of as at least a 65MHz quad-core x86, and perhaps as much as a 130MHz quad-core. For things which aren't parallelized well (emulators in general, for example) you can really only consider one of those cores.

130MHz will technically run XP... but it'll run like complete crap. It's on the low end for Windows 98. Remember, that's the liberal estimate. The conservative one of "around 65 MHz") miiight just barely run StarCraft on Win95 (the stated requirement was 70MHz).

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] mamaich:
With the help of the app I've posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2095934 (a bit newer version, I'll publish it later) I was able to run Heroes of Might and Magic 3 on VivoTab with the bochs emulation plugin. Speed is really slow. Long time ago I was playing HOMM3 on a pentium 166 mhz, and I can tell that old PC was faster. Seems that the emulation speed is like of a Pentium 66.

Bochs has the dynamic recompilation plugin. I have not tried to port it to RT. In the case if it would work - the HOMM3 would be really playable.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] mamaich:
Here: http://www.multiupload.nl/GJFHV0HBHU is a Heroes of Might and Magic 3 official demo version with my emulator, so that anyone can check the emulation speed.

To install - extract files to any directory and launch run.bat.

Emulation speed is slow, so the game is unplayable. But the speed can be improved in future emulator builds! DosBox already provides a dynamic recompilation core, that is ported to ARM, and I'll try to use it later (currently dosbox "normal" or bochs cores are used).

Mouse is required, as HOMM3 does not support touch screens.

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] netham45:
So, a thought I had for MinGW-ish support. Basically, we could create .exe's that take gcc/ld/whatever input and translate them into calls for MSVC's compiler. I admittedly haven't really ever used MSVC's compiler from the command line, but I find it hard to believe that there would be any critical calls that wouldn't have an approximation.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] lilstevie:
I've been looking in to this as I require such a setup to fix one of the bugs with OpenTTD. XZ requires a cygwin/mingw so I have been looking at how to build a base system up from the ground for it.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] netham45:
I found THIS, but cl uses '/' for options, and msys tries translating all of those into paths. It would probably work far better as a binary, and it doesn't seem to complex.

Hi,

If you would like to create the 7-zip Context Menus, Create the reg keys below... I had to take ownership of the registry directories to add them.

@="{23170F69-40C1-278A-1000-000100020000}"

Reboot your Surface then you should see the menu when you right click in explorer.

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] lilstevie:
Would it be possible to get that built as a static library?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] netham45:
It required some non-trivial modifications to MinGW's environment and to SDL's makefiles, but I was able to build SDL using GNU make by translating gcc/ld calls to cl/link calls.

I'm going to get it cleaned up and see what all's actually necessary to do then post what I did to get it to work.

I used http://sourceforge.net/projects/cccl/ as the starting point.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] no2chem:
I've been trying to port over MSYS and MINGW to arm so we can have a native build environment, but building GCC is a pain. I have a native binutils now, though.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] netham45:
Getting a native GCC would definitely be the more preferable option. I was looking at doing this as more of a stopgap until GCC proper was ported, actually.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] mamaich:
Really should not be difficult to port it. Several years ago I was able to compile GCC running directly on a WM phone, and at that time there was no official WinCE support. As far as I remember, now arm-wince-pe is already present, so you may start from it, changes are only in several fields of PE header (subsystem and flags) and, maybe, relocations for thumb code (but you may start with arm-only compiler). You'll also need import libraries, crt0.o and rebuild glibc or newlib, and this may require more time than the GCC itself. And you need to force GCC to always generate relocations for exe files. Otherwise RT refuses to load them.

This is a project not for one day, but it should not take more than a week of one man. Unfortunately I don't have time for that, so cccl is really an option.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Added some new or updated apps, added the LZMA lib.

@advancedservers: Thanks. I take it you weren't able to make it work by just running 7Z as Admin and using the Options screen? That worked fine for me when I wanted to add the file associations...

Yes The file Associations worked fine but wouldn't add the context menus.... Probably because I needed to take ownership on the places in registry.

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] netham45:
Check THIS post, I got SDL working in VS2012 earlier.

And, I've managed to get MSIs working, though they're a bit hackish right now.

To get it working:

1) Get Orca.

2) Open Orca.exe in Notepad++

3) Search for x.6.4 with a regex search

4) Replace with A.r.m

5) Open MSI in Orca

6) Go to View -> Summary Information

7) Set Schema to 500

8) Save and close, then reopen the MSI

9) Go back to View -> Summary Information

10) Select 'Arm'

11) Save, close, then reopen

12) Go back to View -> Summary Information

13) Select the bottom 'Arm' on the list, click OK

14) Go to 'InstallExecuteSequence'

15) Delete the WixSchedFirewallExceptionsInstall and WixSchedFirewallExceptionsUninstall entries, they cause an error on ARM

16) Save, copy to tablet, run.

Not meaning to pimp my stuff, but I'd kick myself if i didnt mention it here...

The RTD Appstore just got a major upgrade and now supports the AIP installer format - and multiple repos (which are a doddle to set up) - It would be SUPER COOL if these ports were available in that format so updates are easier to roll out and such and i think the format of everything is pretty locked down now (im never sure till its actually done that itll work heh)

I'm willing to host as much as anyone wants - but I feel funny about taking liberties and just uploading other peoples work without asking.

In the next version of the store, I'll add an option to sync with a master repo list (keeping any custom repos youve added manually)

If anyone wants me to build them an AIP and/or host it for them, give me a shout.
