Hey, thanks!

As usability is a big factor I think CS-3301 hits closer to what I'm looking for. Definitely something to try out.

 

A bit offtopic, but looks like 32bit plugs using JBridge are indeed trivial to share.

Code:

C:\vst64\jbridge>type "Rocket Punch.64.txt"
"C:\vst32\8bit\Rocket Punch.dll"
ID: 1985365621
flags: effFlagsHasEditor
flags: effFlagsIsSynth
flags: effFlagsCanReplacing
flags: effFlagsProgramChunks

C:\vst64\jbridge>dumpbin /dependents "Rocket Punch.64.dll"
Microsoft (R) COFF/PE Dumper Version 14.28.29337.0
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.


Dump of file Rocket Punch.64.dll

File Type: DLL

  Image has the following dependencies:

    KERNEL32.dll
    USER32.dll
    ADVAPI32.dll

  Summary

        1000 .data
        1000 .pdata
        1000 .rdata
        1000 .text

So basically need to distribute the original DLL and then the JBridge created DLL with the text file pointing to the 32-bit library. (dumpbin lists what a file is depending on, in this case nothing outside what's included in windows)

 

I do like the latter but it's kind of outside what I want e.g. not as straightforward as I'd like given the restrictions.
