ClarkKentThe plugin of the latest release 0.9.2 is not shown in the plugin selector under WinXP SP3. Pleeeeeease fix this!
Sorry, I just saw your PM from my email client, I don't come here that often.
Indeed! I had to confirm this myself to investigate by downloading an official and trial (for 30 days)
Virtual Box image for Windows XP SP3 (IE6)
It turned out the issue is really stupid! wxWidgets' latest unfortunate stable version v3.0.2 was released a few weeks before Visual Studio 2015.
That means it does not support VS2015 compiler but only VS2013, even when both are set to use the XP platform toolset when compiling.
I managed to compile it using VS2015 by modifying some of wxWidgets code myself.
There was no need to change any code for TwinPad, just recompiled both wxWidgets and TwinPad with VS2013_XP compiler instead of VS2015_XP
and it was fixed. But I discovered a minor issue in XP that you can't configure TwinPad for the first time you use PCSX2 when the plugin configuration
window appears, I had to select TwinPad and click next, then finish. Then I could configure TwinPad. This issue doesn't exist in Win7/10.
I have to investigate more, but it is not really that important.
I am debating myself however if I should use the VS2013 compiler or download and recompile the latest and greatest wxWidgets from github which supports VS2015 out of the box.
Notice also that the SPU2-X plugin doesn't show up in Windows XP too. Which makes this stupid since it is the only SPU plugin comes with PCSX2 v1.4.0 installer. Making PCSX2 unplayable since you can't pass the plugin configuration window without SPU plugin no matter what. I had to use ZeroSPU from an older version to continue. I checked PCSX2 code and it seems SPU2-X was built using the XP platform toolset which should work for WinXP.
Hopefully, I will do a small update before the weekend, right now I am busy with real life.
