Version Number in SERUM.dll

[jarr3]

Hi,

 

I am thinking on implementing some kind of information toolset, to be able to extract version information from all the exe's and dll's we have today. (dll hell 😀)

 

Currently I am just doing a little shell scripting (or bat filing)

 

This little script runs through all *.exe and *.dll when you put it in folder and double click.

 

@echo off
echo Evaluating directory %CD% > versions.txt

powershell -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command "Get-ChildItem -Recurse "*.dll", "*.exe" | Foreach-Object {[PSCustomObject]@{Filename=$_| Resolve-Path -Relative ;ProductVersion=$_.VersionInfo.ProductVersion;FileVersion=$_.VersionInfo.FileVersion}}" >> versions.txt

echo check file versions.txt
pause

 

When run in a folder with serum and other files, I see serum does not have the information needed.

Or if you look on a single file:

 

 

Would it be possible to add it somehow? I guess it will become easier going forward to see that we have all compatible files in use...

Ok, interesting. Which are the files used nowadays?

Serum's dlls are now plug ins in both Freezy's and Luckys dmddevice.dll's

[jarr3]

Cool, then still it is possible to use my little bat file to extract which versions of the dlls/exe's are used...

 

Maybe it can help with finding problems with PUP & DMD's?

In fact, it is embedded, but not always up-to-date as there is not a dmdext release everytime there is a serum dll update. Getting the latest version from here https://github.com/zesinger/libserum/releases and copy/unblock the DLLs (serum.dll and serum64.dll) may be interesting as the dll in VPinMame takes precedence on the embedded ones.

You can get the version of serum[64].dll calling the ` const char* Serum_GetVersion()` function returning the version as a char* string like "1.5.1"
