Greddy EMU linux and Windows 64bit part 4 final post

So after much fun with Ubuntu and Wine, and Windows 10 64bit and drivers, I'm tapping out.  Below are some screen shots of using various open source software and sites to decompile machine code to source code of some EMU files and its way too much of a huge task a newb like myself to find where in the tens of thousands of lines of code where the driver package is, and how to put the new package in.




Fun times for a newb like me haha.  Looks like to get 64bit support for various OS's from Greddy, we need them to step up themselves vs. some techie wanna-be's to try and figure it out.  I imagine Wendell from Tek Syndicate could make quick work of this but its a pretty low priority challenge for gurus of such IMO.

How to make a Linux live boot USB

If you want to run a Linux build live before committing to installing it, the Universal USB Installer (UUI) program on pendrivelinux's site is a great tool- check it out- download and simply follow the site's instructions- site HERE

Greddy EMU software in Wine Part 3- Windows 10

After confiring with buddy far more knowledgeable than I, Windows 10 became very suspect, so off to google and found this gem in a Silicon Labs forum here.

From the website:
Here is the Windows 10 driver.  Please note that this driver contains the default VID/PID for our devices, only, and is not yet supported with our driver customization tools. If you're using your own VID/PID, then you will have to modify the .inf file directly to include these values, however please be aware that if you make any changes to the drivers .inf file, the digital signature will be invalidated.

Also some advice about turning off driver signature enforcement:
Hit WindowsKey-X and select "Command Prompt (Admin)"

In the nice DOS box that pops up type:

bcdedit /set testsigning on
 Greddy's VID is USB\VID_0D89&PID_0301

Silicon Lab's VID list was pretty large, one example was USB\VID_10C4&PID_EA70&Mi_00

After much messing around, still no positive results- I think what is needed to be done is find a way to modify the EMU software to not point for it's driver it installed, but to redirect that to the Silicon Labs driver.
