I do as SourcePatch\readme.txt said, and then run 10 to 10a.bat, but it remains showing message "patch -p0 10_10a.diff", I wait so long, and it seems no effect, why? And I encountered problem of "cannot open file 'dinput.lib'", I googled and downloaded dx70_min.zip for dinput.lib, then I extracted dinput.lib to "D:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (March 2009)\Lib\x86" directory and successfully builded gens.exe. But will this will bring some problems? Which version of "DirectX SDK" I should download?

Wait, are you trying to compile gens 10a, or gens 11a? The gens with lua is gens 11, you can get the source package from http://gens-rerecording.googlecode.com/files/Gens_Rerecording_11_Src_Win32.7z You seem to be correct about the included x_to_y.bat file not working. I'm going to correct that, now. In order to fix it on your machine, just open that .bat file and add a "-i " after the "-p0 ", but before the name of the .diff file. Edit: Oh, I misread the thread title. Somehow I saw "10a" as "lua"

Thank you very much! The 2nd question:Which version of "DirectX SDK" I should download to compile gens 10a? I'm solicitous about "dinput.lib" will bring some problems.

I means which "dinput.lib" to use to compile gens 10a? The latest DirectX SDK doesn't contains "dinput.lib" file, but "dinput8.lib" file.

you can get the correct directx libs either by checking out the current SVN, source, or downloading them individually from http://code.google.com/p/gens-rerecording/source/browse/#svn/trunk/%20gens-rerecording/Gens/DirectX I'm still confused as to why you want gens10a instead of gens11a, though...

Thanks again upthorn! Using gens 10a, it is because gens 10a can satisfies my needs now, and gens 11a's "ROM History" menu has a problem(http://code.google.com/p/gens-rerecording/issues/detail?id=73&can=1).

I'm trying to reduce compiled exe size not by exe compressers, I try to set entrypoint in G_main.cpp, I add "#pragma comment(linker, "/ENTRY:wWinMainCRTStartup")" and change "WinMain" to "wWinMainCRTStartup", but errors occur. I'm not good at Visual C++, only for hobby.
