I have found a SID plugin (for playing C64 sid tunes) but I cannot load it :-( I have tried the example code for LOAD DLL and I am trying to load Tiny C64 SID Song Player Plug-in (Which I have attached, there is some info about the sid plugin here: http://basic4gl.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=dllpc&action=print&thread=2853

looks like everything is right..
but im not sure if "?MyFunc@@YAHH@Z" is the name of the function inside your sid plugin.
try downloading the Resource Hacker
http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/
this basicly can load the dll and see all the funtion names inside it.
also if i rememember right, you are able to edit the function name.
also try to find in those forums how to convert plugins into dbp's format using the resource hacker that should help you.

more 3d models .x/.obj and more foramts here:

if it doesnt shows anything,
seens i dont know what dll is that, you have 2 answers here
1) the dll doesnt contain function named "?MyFunc@@YAHH@Z"
2) the dll didnt compiled right.

i belive its the 2nd option..

@Cybermind

I think the dll you are trying to use is not generic. I think it is a designed plugin specifically for another BASIC language and therefore may have it's own calling/referencing conventions and may have other dependencies not included in DBPro.

Take a look a sidplay2 for SID chip emulation and libraries (libsidplay) if you are interested in playing sid files directly through DBPro with maybe your own custom dll.

Enjoy your day.

Is it complicated to make an DLL for the purpose? How about compatibility with OS like XP, Vista/Windows 7 x86/x64, is it the same?

Well, it's not too hard depending on the library. libsidplay was origianlly designed for unix but there is a port to windows - it looks a little tough to me. Sidplay2 has a player you could call directly (without having to build a dll or anything) using EXECUTE FILE or is it EXECUTE COMMAND from DBPro.

Sidplay2-Windows

Enjoy your day.

I already downloaded that I will look into the stuff later, I want maximum compatibility with the three (soon four) major Windows OS, and also x64 versions.

@Sergey K: I know the DLL doesn't contain that weird function name, but that doesn't matter because the program never reaches that line, it failed to load the DLL which was what I wanted to do first, but now I know that DLL's are not universal and have to be tailored for the purpose/language.
