1) new patchk32.bat handles this. 2) added but untested

I don't update that often. The previous version of New Moon I have been using until today was the release of 17May2025. I just re-installed it, the release of 17May2025 doesn't crash, while the release of 26Jul2025 does crash at www.rt.com. This is the error msg I get with www.rt.com under the release of 26Jul2025: "palemoon.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. ... Please tell Microsoft about the problem. Details: Appname: palemoon.exe AppVer 4.8.7.8956 ModName: xul.dll ModVer 4.8.7.8956 Offset: 006eccac The following files will be included in this error report: C:\DOCUME~1\Expert\LOCALS~1\Temp\5b61_appcompat.txt" So something doesn't seem to run under WinXP. Serpent of 26Jul2025, in contrast, does work OK with www.rt.com.

Interesting find. Can you narrow down the version that broke rt.com? There are only three versions in between. Also send a screen shot of the crash notification, so folks have some idea where the breakage is. And last but not least, if possible try rt.com on the latest official Basilisk (requires Win 7 so you may have to borrow a PC). Of course official releases are somewhat behind these test releases, so it may work there; but if it doesn't you can report it to @basilisk-dev and help more users.

@roytam1 1) What about making an unofficial api-ms-win-core-util-l-1-1-0.dll wrapper (for VC2015,17,19 apps) for XP SP1 by replacing the kernel32 references with kernelxp references in the hex editor? 2) What about adding GetSystemTimes function to your mini kernelxp.dll wrapper, because I noticed it was missing for some applications.

When the highest quality version of a song I can get is a YT Opus rip, I use mkvextract from MKVToolNix to turn it into a ,opus file that I then can apply metadata to and is recognized as an audio file. The command I use is mkvextract "(source).webm" tracks 0:"(output).opus"

I think I misunderstood. Can you play them when using `--remux-video mkv` ?

ok so apparently shell32.dll 4.72.3612.1700 is last official version for windows 95 osr 2.x. but what about for explorer.exe? im guessing since ie 4.01 sp2 includes explorer.exe 4.72.3612.1700, then that would also be last official version as well? also can you answer on whether dencorso's manually patched explorer.exe 4.72.3612.1700 ( which i linked in my earlier post that turns explorer.exe version into 4.72.3612.1705 ) also works on windows 95 osr 2.x and / or is necessary for any fixes? it appears to be mainly if only for the 256 color tray icon fix?

Unlock the taskbar

I do rename them as I download them before watching, or or a few at a time. --remux-video invokes ffmpeg and remuxes to a video-only file without sound. Rather I want the audio track kept as-is but named such that it can be used. If I get AAC audio it is named m4a and the video is mp4. Opus audio should work the same. (Not all videos give AAC audio.)

Audio only files? You can do it with a batch file from within the directory where you have the webm audio files (save as e.g. webm2mka.bat): @echo off for %%i in (*.webm) do ( ffmpeg -i "%%i" -c:a copy "%%~ni.mka" ) echo Conversion complete! pause Or directly while downloading with yt-dlp (see Post-Processing Options): yt-dlp -f 251 --remux-video mka https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD-MdiUm1_Y Removing cache dir C:\Documents and Settings\Nico/.cache\yt-dlp ...

Toolbars are missing in version 3.9.9 too. It's one of the primary reasons why I use StartAllBack. Can it be fixed? 🙏 I'm on a fresh install of Windows 11 Home 24H (26120.4741). Before my re-install I had version 3.9.2 installed and toolbars worked with that. The Windows version was about the same. I tried Edit: I tried replacing the current \AppData\Local\StartAllBack folder with the 3.9.2 folder but StartAllBack didn't initialize then even after a reboot. (Yes, I did a complete backup before re-install - I'm a good girl).

First of all: A big thank-you for your great work! New Moon of 26Jul2025 crashes when www.rt.com is loaded, tested with both the 32bit and SSE versions, Serpent of 26Jun2025 does not crash. When JavaScript is disabled with NoScript v5.1.9, New Moon does not crash.

I'm trying to make a new taskbar icon for the start menu. I can see where to add one but trying different file sizes and types (pngs, svgs) results in an error or the icon is incorrectly displayed. Can you help with the requirements/formatting for a PNG or SVG?

I would just like the file extension changed for downloads of Opus audio, from webm to mka or weba, so that media players pick it up as an audio stream when the video is played.

Given that the yt-dlp issue tracker will only accept issues accompanied with a verbose log from their own release builds, I'm afraid any issues experienced with my build cannot be discussed there. Also, any issues with my fork will mostly also happen with the upstream build. So, first search their issue tracker to see if someone has experienced something similar. If nothing is found, then perhaps ask right here? Or, like another forum member had done, PM me. He had an issue with some Polish site and I was able to reproduce it with the official yt-dlp build. Then I opened an issue there and it was solved.

The issue with the "experiment" and formats being randomly unavailable has gone away. For the time being, I can reliably download all videos. Is there an upstream issue tracker than I could post to (about something else), given that I use this modified build?

Thanks. IIRC does the system indicate that PAE is enabled if Data Execution Prevention is enabled, or am I mis-remembering? Of course that isn't actually doing anything with the RAM availability, as you say.

For the time being, I don't need it. Especially if I can't copy every file type. It's a few megs of memory and a bit of CPU saved when I plug the phone in for charging. The other devices are a brooktree/conexant radio/TV receiver witout a x64 driver and have nothing to do with the phone.

Looking closer at what I installed, it was both this, and the User-Mode Driver Framework (KB2685813), I did both installs just a few minutes apart, and don't completely remember which or if both are needed. You might want to have them both for completeness' sake. So I'm guessing you have the user mode framework installed, that would leave the kernel mode framework to check. After that, I think you have the files you need to get MTP mode running. Make a folder somewhere, copy all those files into it, then try to update the driver for "MTP" shown in you device manager screenshot. Choose the "have files" option, and point it to the folder where you copied everything, see if it can load the driver that way. As for the other 2 mystery devices, my phone does not present those so I'm not sure what they are... after loading the MTP driver, can you do another screen shot, with it adjusted to show devices by connection?

Done. 😽

Yes, I saw that. However, their new code snippet used in that commit didn't play well with Python 3.4.4... Maybe I can implement it like: def random_user_agent(): _USER_AGENT_TPL = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/%s Safari/537.36' _CHROME_VERSIONS = ( '132.0.0.0', '133.0.0.0', '134.0.0.0', '135.0.0.0', '136.0.0.0', '137.0.0.0', '138.0.0.0', ) return _USER_AGENT_TPL % random.choice(_CHROME_VERSIONS) 🤔

I'm afraid that with PAE the only way to overcome 4294967296 sectors of 512 bytes (2 TIB) is to modify the Paragon GPT Loader or creating a new GPT Loader.

That PAE that you have activated in XP SP3 is not functional. Microsoft disables PAE in XP SP2 , so the patches were created, with the intention of enabling it again.

I tell you once again that all this you suggest has already been tested and does not work. The solutions are written in the first entry of this post in which we are. The method that works we have already described. Please read the links published in the first post and you will find explanations and solutions. Regarding PAE and Windows 2000 there is no solution yet, so it is not published anywhere else.

They are in the WinSxS directory. I could probably try to pull them out if I felt adventurous. c:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_wpdmtp.inf_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_7b8f374aa061a3e8\ WinUsb.sys and WUDFRd.sys are installed. They do other things too.
