@Dietmar Maybe for 9560.sys work properly you need use ntoskrn8.sys extender and add missing function e.g. PoFxPowerControl, PoFxSetComponentWake, PoFxSetDeviceIdleTimeout or others ? Now I search how add missing functions for work sdbus.sys & sdstor.sys from Win8.1: https://msfn.org/board/topic/187830-how-port-sdbussys-sdstorsys-639600-for-winxp-64-bit/#findComment-1288222 https://msfn.org/board/topic/181615-ntoskrnl-emu_extender-for-windows-xp2003/page/8/#findComment-1288223

This video should get you started:

How add missing functions in NTOSKRN8.SYS for sdbus.sys and sdstor.sys from Win8.1 ? https://msfn.org/board/topic/187830-how-port-sdbussys-sdstorsys-639600-for-winxp-64-bit/#findComment-1288222 sdbus.sys PoFxSetDeviceIdleTimeout IoReportInterruptInactive PoFxPowerControl IoReportInterruptActive ExAcquirePushLockExclusiveEx ExReleasePushLockEx KeQueryInterruptTimePrecise PoFxPowerOnCrashdumpDevice PoFxRegisterCrashdumpDevice PoFxSetComponentWake sdstor.sys PoFxSetDeviceIdleTimeout

Your ready made Generic_SD+MMC_6.2.8056.0 not work on Dell Wyse 5070 Gemini Lake. Maybe it's not a driver problem, but I tested Win8.1 and it installs and runs without any problems on a Dell Wyse 5070 Gemini Lake. sdbus.sys and sdstor.sys 6.3.9600 require some functions: https://www.mediafire.com/file/1oi3xz5tya94e9m/org81.zip/file

Newer ones than 6.2.8056 are not compatible. Don't exactly remember what was changed, it's way too long from my research. Why you not using ready made drivers? They don't support it? If not, probably same like porting Windows 8.1 USB3.x driver, require too much additional imports and new support structures.

@George King I succesfully use your ported drivers Generic_SD+MMC_6.2.8056.0 for install WinXP 64-bit on eMMC disk on Dell Wyse 3040 Cherry Trail: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183464-updated-drivers-for-windows-xp-sp3-and-windows-2003-sp2-x32x64-for-modern-hardware/page/204/#findComment-1288105 Now I try the same on eMMC in Dell Wyse 5070 Gemini Lake but I have BSOD 7B: I edited the files sdbus.sys 6.3.9600.17399 and sdstor.sys 6.3.9600.17031 changing ntoskrnl.exe to ntoskrn8.sys and security_cookie 32 A2 DF 2D 99 2B to 32 A2 DF 2D 99 FF but not help. Instead of BSOD I have a blank aurora wallpaper but the system does not hang. How properly port drivers?

@Dietmar Can you please check this PR? https://github.com/techomancer/nvme2k/pull/25 There is question from maintainer. I have submitted your nvme2k code changes and seems Techomancer wants your confirmation.

I'm alive. I've simply got a heavy schedule with limited free time for the computer. I've read your suggestions and am implementing the majority of them. Will report back when "finished," with some results. May be a few days though. Thanks for taking the time to share all the info.

I confirm the MediaFire issue, but I don't know since when happens.

I think some have managed to run some win32 progs in validation OS

Enjoy. I have tried to modernize it with new components, but have not succeeded yet, make_pe3.7z

to clarify further. my keyboard and mouse are PS2. you plug the keyboard and mouse into the front jacks of the KVM. the video cable (15 pin DIN) is a combination cable. it includes 2 cables that have PS2 jacks on the end and they plug into the normal PS2 jacks on the computer. But they are not used for the keyboard and mouse. They supply power to the KVM. It's the usb cable that comes out from the KVM that passes the keyboard and mouse signals to the computer. I know that sounds like a weird way to do it. So it's the whole USB part of this that is giving me trouble.

There are also software KVM's. Several computers all on the same network can be made to use the mouse and keyboard all from only one of those several computers. The versions that I have used in the past were only used for mouse and keyboard, despite being called KVM, I just didn't need the V part.

Could've been me ~3 years ago, worked for me but on much older HW (an X99 board with MBR formatted NVMe}.Installed vanilla XP 32 on SSD & started looking for NVMe drivers that both didn't crash after reboot & recognized the NVMe. IIRC one from George King's driver collection worked.Once that was done, i simply cloned the partition onto NVMe (it doesn't need to be the first partition, i think that's a win 98 thing), and pointed EasyBCD to it (make sure to select XP in EasyBCD). Posting from that XP install now (https://imgur.com/7gJ54GG). There's a guy going by Omores who has a much less hacky way of installing XP on modern HW & NVMe -- check out his YT: https://www.youtube.com/@O_mores

chrome is a programm doing such a independent own solution, i think you can take either from supermium or e3kskoy7wqk they might already know more precise what exactly you need, IE8 with tls 1.3 would be a idea in theory

My current test app is one I made in C++ using the Win32 API, and I'm trying to add modern networking stacks to it using "modern" libraries. (In my case, most likely LibcURL and OpenSSL) I am neither trying to update nor upgrade Internet Explorer 8, but rather trying to add TLS 1.2/1.3 to my own standalone executable app. (by standalone, I mean one that doesn't have any external dependencies and can run all by itself) I'm trying (and struggling) to find the prebuilt SDKs for OpenSSL and LibcURL for Windows XP, and was therefore wondering whether or not I'd need to compile the two from the source code by myself. (OpenSSL and LibcURL versions that are compatible with Windows XP and support TLS 1.2/1.3)

As far as I know, Virtualisation/Sandbox Evasion is when an app (in most cases malware) tries to detect whether it's in a sandbox or not. The MITRE ATT&CK behaviour section of VxKex-NEXT only shows the Evasion, not the Escape. (As far as I know, Virtualisation/Sandbox Escape is when the app actually tries to escape the sandbox and interact with the host OS directly) I'm not sure why this is the case, although this Virtualisation/Sandbox Evasion technique alert could be triggered by driver checks, registry entries etc. However, as plausible as this could be, in my opinion, if VxKex (i486) doesn't flag this, then VxKex-NEXT (YuZhouRen86) should also theoretically have no reason to either. (and it flagged it twice!) I kind of doubt these kinds of flags can be excused or ignored as "false positives", but I'm not entirely sure.

Released WDMHDA Version Alpha-021 which adds headphone jack detection and improves communication with the codec. https://github.com/andrew-hoffman/WDMHDA/releases

For a longer time, New Noon 28 and Serpent 52 don't work correctly on MediaFire. When logging in and opening a folder with more files the screen can show there is no scroll bar to get the next ones in the list. Here are screenshots from the NM and Sp browser consoles: And here is a screenshot of a MediaFire's folder taken from my account where you can see the missing vertical scroll bar:

VLC is also used to watch streams. And that means YouTube streams, too. Therefore, your request is totally on topic. Your observation in terms of the 3.0.8 version is interesting. I will try this version in my system the next days. One thing is clear. The latest versions aren’t always the best on older systems. They are no longer tested on older operating systems. I can confirm that regarding your BBC Radio 2 Live stream http://as-hls-ww-live.akamaized.net/pool_74208725/live/ww/bbc_radio_two/bbc_radio_two.isml/bbc_radio_two-audio=96000.m3u8 the 3.0.24 version from 29.05.2026 behaves very bad, but the 3.0.8 version perfectly. Even the 3.0.20 version is ok but the 3.0.8 version performs best. When it comes to my YouTube test video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffcitRgiNDs however, I can't see any differences in CPU usage.

This means that the software can evade a virtual machine or a sandboxed application from the host OS, I don't think this is desirable (for me at least). Of course it may also mean the opposite, it isn't really clear.

the internet explorer 8 suppose to have tls 1.2 with some upgrades the standlone ie8 installer dont have tls 1.2 there KB4019276 is the upgrade for IE8 for tls 1.2 recently i wanted to test my installer, i looked on the windows update catalog and the biggest upgrade is ? the IE8 installer so i was thinking to try it on a bigger KB upgrade https://msfn.org/board/topic/187777-new-and-probably-a-lot-faster-installer/ look for kb4467770 + kb4019276 + kb4493435 + kb2598845 (english/us) or (GERMAN) there should be a downlink link there is a problem but - and im not certain where it actually come from if i use the orginal installer from IE8 almost no websites is opening (a few are opening) like theoldnet.com so i tryed both - the orginal one from microsoft and the one from me both have identical results (same goes if the side-upgrades are added) what i wanted to try is to test TLS 1.2 - but it dont do the test (either microsofts or mine) so hard to say where this is coming from - if you know i would be happy about that weird enough i have a .iso with sp3 with IE8 (without tls 1.1 and tls1.2) (like the normal IE8 installer (blank) has) there some websites are opening if you want to build in tls1.3 directly into IE8 you would need to figure out where the IE8 selects for example tls1.2 and at that progress you have to hand that over to your tls 1.3

I did the RTFM, it was hard to find so here is copy if you do not have it: https://www.trendnet.com/download_manager/default.asp?iFile=2831 it seems that that does offer ps/2 port too as option for input unless picture is generic, also have you enabled or disabled usb keyboard legacy support under bios? If it really got PS/2 option for cable rather use those and leave USB just for any USB perihepals that may use in both systems. I hate to admit it but I got little experience with USB keyboards with Windows 9x aside with Compaq presarios. I preferred use PS/2 since it works always out of the box. Also I mostly worked with ATEN USB kvm that let you set passtrough mode for port to emulate regular USB HUB. So the problem is that you cannot get keyboard or mouse to work at all?

I realise VLC specifically is NOT the topic of this thread, but could you be so kind as to actually pinpoint/link to that version? On https://artifacts.videolan.org/vlc-3.0/nightly-win32/ you can see that their server retention goes back to last December, ONLY, so I expect, in the future, that older "artifacts" will be forever purged ; perhaps this last, XP-compatible, build deserves to be archived for posterity ... All 3.0.23 versions are compatible with Windows XP. The last 3.0.23 version was releases on 12.05.2026. The last Windows XP compatible 3.0.24 version was from 29.05.2026.
