Converting drivers from 32bit to 64bit

bloodiedathame · 6 Jul 2007 at 00:39

Is this possible? I would have thought that the code would be fairly simple to change in order to get 32bit drivers converted to 64bit format. I've had a look on Google for some ideas but only found anything useful regarding applications. I don't know whether what I have found would be applicable to drivers, but since I have never programmed anything and am not a coder (so to speak) I don't really know, well, anything.

Has anyone successfully done this or known anyone who has? Or am I clutching at straws and the conversion isn't possible?

yes you are i'm afraid, its not just a simple line of code that needs editing, they're fundamentally different

drivers for which hardware are you searching for?

Drivers for some emulation software actually.

care to elaborate, incase there's an alternative?

such as, alternative to CloneDrive is daemon tools

probably best off emailing the makers if it's a smaller company

More or less you just recompile the driver - job done.

Its a driver by the H20 team.

How would I go about recompiling it?

well you'd need the source code to start with i imagine!
