Re: Future of Chromium on Windows Vista/7 NT 6.x - Potential Forks

I added a very early change to the implementation of job objects to the Vista extended kernel. This allowed Chromium 110 to run with --no-sandbox: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/566258736994451456/1058022591379538011/image.png Opera 96 pre-releases can also run with --no-sandbox, even withou...

Re: My attempts to extend the kernel for NT4

MSI.DLL is a component of Windows Installer. Office 2000 should install Windows Installer 1.0, and perhaps Office XP or VS .NET 2003 will have a newer compatible version.

Re: Windows XP gets a DDR5 world overclocking record!

XP has been done on Alder Lake a few times ago, and I think 2000 as well. ACPI is probably not in use unless the updated drivers allow it now, and the P and E cores are treated like two separate processor packages on XP.

Re: Windows Vista with Extended Kernel (Current Version is v26102021)

I tried GeekBench 5.4.4 just now. The benchmark ran without issues, but it couldn't connect to the server, presumably because I haven't enabled TLS 1.1/1.2 for IE/WinHTTP. But I noticed that it delay loads several functions that were revised/fixed as part of a yet-to-be-released update. Those likely...

Re: ntoskrnl extender for windows 2000

You could try using a VM and hooking up windbg to a virtual serial port.

Re: ntoskrnl extender for windows 2000

As far as I could tell, you hit the exception handler for syscalls (so definitely a call made by the driver to the extender). Some more information is needed.

Re: Windows Vista with Extended Kernel (Current Version is v26102021)

I added various API functions to Windows Vista that allowed it to run many newer applications. This is what makes up the "extended kernel", that is the modified system files.

Windows 7 files are harder to modify and is slower on my systems.

Re: Vista Extended Kernel - General Thread

I continue to reverse functions and the ones I'm confident in are posted here: https://github.com/win32ss/win32-api-reversals They are mostly intended for this project, but some should be workable on Windows 7, XP and even back to NT 4! Every relevant implementation will be in the next extended kern...

There is a slightly modified shell32 that allows for resource modification.

Re: Vista Extended Kernel - General Thread

In recent days I've made significant advancements on the 32 bit side of things. Here is SeaMonkey 2.53.1:
