Hey Im a new user on MSFN forum... After seeing effort for older windows... I want a Windows 8 Extended Kernel.. I'm not a coder but seeing you guys made Vista Extended Kernel... It's not a demand but really cool to see it happened...

Until finally (!!!) discovering it can alternatively be used by typing URL parameters :-) This works even with the most ancient browsers (if no fallback available): 1) If URL is known, this gets the LAST version: https://web.archive.org/web/https://www.example.com 2) If URL is known, a CROPPED DATE (any length) gets the CLOSEST version, e.g.: https://web.archive.org/web/19990401/https://www.example.com 3) Therefore, this gets the OLDEST version at all, first one after Jan 1 1000 ;-) https://web.archive.org/web/1/https://www.example.com 4) This creates a NEW archive of the current page: https://web.archive.org/save/https://www.example.com (And if a URL is not known exactly, there are also strings to get a plain txt list, but more complicated)

Yes, exactly. It is correctly activated. So we can rule that out as a source of error.

Yup, you are correct (as usual) Additionally, the wayback.archive.org URLs now redirect to web.archive.org , pfff. In the last few weeks i'm mostly using Edge on another system for browsing, and switching to the XP system mainly to watch my regular TV series, so missed the increase in broken sites...

I can understand it. It's really sad what just happens. But back to the topic. I edited my post and uploaded the file somewhere else. The problem with the original version is that in the config.ini the line "RearPort" says 8080 and not 8081. That's why it didn't work.

Maybe roytam or someone like-minded could take an interest. It would probably entail some work and time but would keep these older versions going a little longer. That is until google forces something else "new" on everyone that requires only the most modern and up to date. IOW google chrome.

The link in my post works! This is a link to the Polish Intel website. Maybe the link to the Polish version does not work in your country. This is a link to the US English version of the Intel website: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/16545/22644/intel-hd-graphics-driver-for-windows-xp-64-exe.html?

Yes, I quoted @Ben Markson because I saw this as a recommendation to install this add-on on NM28. No problem, better to clear such things up than staying confused or even annoyed! My intention is always to help others with the most simple/performant/nerdy (or a mixture of them) solution and maybe someone who didn't know (like me two days ago) find this helpful. OT: My hope for 20 to 30 cm of snow has gone, this was a miserable winter... kind regards soggi

For "search.json.mozlz4" enabled browsers (mostly Serpent 52.9.0/UXP + Serpent 55.0.0/Moebius), I'd recommend the following "legacy" Fx extension: XML Search Engines Exporter/Importer v0.4 (should be also available from within CAA). Instead of having to deal with modifying .mozlz4 databases (a Mozilla-proprietary compression format), you can export standalone XML-format search plugins from within the search.json.mozlz4 file, edit them to your heart's content and then import back the edited plugin ; of course, you can also import already archived, standard, XML search plugins extracted from other browser profiles (e.g. from New Moon 27/28) or downloaded from specialised search-plugin repos...

First of all: I don't mean to belittle or offend anyone but I think it's a common problem. I think it's a bit of a shame, because I'm actually always willing to help someone if they have problems with WU, as you already know. But without detailed information there is no reasonable solution either, so I can understand you well and I totally agree. Kind regards

We've had a bit of a discussion about this recently in the moderators' section, and post bumping too. I agree that responses which just say "It doesn't work, what do I do now" are rather less than helpful, but I keep telling myself that a lot of members do not have English as their first language, and therefore may not be particularly confident about posting complex messages. I do agree that this can be very frustrating if you're trying to help someone though, and if they don't respond more helpfully even after much prompting, there's not much you can do!

I tried to help you out as far as Chase constantly breaking. I cancelled a Chase account 2 to 2-1/2 years ago and when the person asked me why I am cancelling, "Because this web site, and this web site alone, has forced me to upgrade web browsers twice in six months, my life is far too important to spend so much of my time chasing this rabbit". But only to see several other web sites suffer over the 2 to 2-1/2 years that followed

Hi @maile3241 What do you think about people asking for assistance but being too lazy or whatever in writing reasonable posts? I don't understand that and it annoys me. We all do that to help other people just for fun. But in these cases there is no fun! Apart from that, it is also a question of respect and that's really lacking in some cases, in my opinion!

While using NM28 I ran again into the "missing search engine plugins" problem (the browser integrated search bar in the upper right), espacially Google is missing. So I decided to dig deeper and finally solve the problem. All the plugins on the Pale Moon site work, except Google (try out your self: http://web.archive.org/web/20170712213834/https://addons.palemoon.org/search-plugins/) On my search about this problem I found this post: So I tried https://mycroftproject.com/search-engines.html but this didn't satisfy me, so I read about the OpenSearch standard and found out this is just a small XML file (with links, some stuff and a Base64 encoded icon in it) which has to be placed inside the folder "searchplugins" of a browser's profile. The mycroftproject XML was really, really outdated (but still functional). I recoded the icon to a proper 16*16 Base64 PNG and put the latest search URL into the XML - and yes it works fine, and has a much lower size! Please let me know if someone is interested in a mirror of properly formated search plugins, then I will add them to the New Moon (etc.) mirror -> soggi.org - tools. Additionally mirroring of all your beloved add-ons is also possible, just leave me a note (within this thread). I'm already thinking about outsourcing the mirror into an extra article where I can add more content (tips, tweaks - all this stuff which keeps myself occupied while using New Moon). --------------------------------------------- No, I won't call you paranoid (BTW I love Black Sabbath's Paranoid) - that's just longsighted! Personally I backed up whole FTP servers in the past (and hopefully will do in the future). Backing up files is extremely important in the vintage/retro computer scene. --------------------------------------------- When visiting https://web.archive.org/web/*/www.cmd.com on NM27/28 it looks like on the screenshots below. I think I have to move on and make NM28 to my daily driver, the Way Back Machine is really important to my soggi.org work! kind regards soggi

they will be kept, just like in the past. making PM30 as "Fx30" is a no-go to me.

1,885 changed files with 168,699 additions and 191,064 deletions. Was that just to make things extremely painful for fork-maintainers or did it serve some other agenda? Both of them are Basilisk/Serpent52 exclusive features (GMP/EME - as in functional DRM - broken for ages, but still useful to detect media sites that implement WidevineCDM; also useful for those few that prefer Adobe Primetime CDM's patented decoders over the ffvpx ones, on WinXP; WebRTC, despite claimed to be specs-compliant, fails to work on most WebRTC-enabled sites currently ); what are your thoughts about them in "our" UXP? ... Your thoughts on this, too, please? Let me reassure you, for the Nth time, that your constant efforts to "untangle" what MCP (currently a one-person-team) produce don't go unnoticed ; thanks once more...

finally got a somewhat acceptable/saner diff between UXP and GRE. (crazy amount of file rearrangement commit and extra files deletion commits are in its parent commits) https://github.com/roytam1/palemoon-source-tracking/commit/80db68ab8642822bb0a5f3af5adfef77b7946630 notable changes: - GMP/EME support removed - WebRTC removed - telemetry codes by mozilla removed EDIT: MCP finally pushed repo with complete history

Update (January 13, 2022): The update pack and update rollup have been updated to fix a bug with ntoskrnl.exe file (affecting single threaded systems). All files are now available from the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/xp-unofficial-sp4-jan2022_20220113
