@Dietmar @reboot12 @Mov AX, 0xDEAD I discovered this today. https://github.com/FlyGoat/csmwrap Hopefully this means we can boot XP x86 on UEFI class 3 systems now.

I managed to boot the WinXP SP2 32-bit from the GPT under UEFI DUET32 on real machine:

For poor people, or in developing countries, maybe. My father had Dolby CDs (digital form, not "theatre"!) in 1990 or even earlier. https://www.quadraphonicquad.com/forums/threads/proarte-dolby-surround-cds-from-1990-91.5043/ And Laser Discs with Dolby Surround (video) in 1990-91, also. I wasn't even born yet. https://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/00140/PILF-2187/Terminator-2:-Judgment-Day-(1991) Still not incorporating Dolby and DTS to Chrome in the era of streaming has no excuse!!!

People write, Dolby works only in Edge. If it's true, we may safely consider all Chromes, not only this, retardedly outdated, it's a terrible shame to still not implement a technology from 1991. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/10961

For those living somewhere with a governmental ban on Kaspersky (US, for example), using such methods to circumvent restrictions is illegal and might have dire consequences. I guess, teaching people how to do it, too.

Yep! Same here. I have never installed Thorium using the install batch file or the REG files provided in the downloaded archive file. BTW, these should have to be adjusted to the respective system if you want to use them. Furthermore, the REG files contain syntax errors. For me, Thorium have been running error-free on my Windows XP Pro SP3 + POSReady for months by only extracting the archive and using a batch file or loader with command line flags for starting. But on my Windows XP Pro SP3 without POSReady, it permanently crashes and behaves unstably.

Thanks for your idea! That's why I originally assumed POSReady updates were mandatory for running Thorium. Maybe, there is really an POSReady update which is urgently needed to run Thorium on my hardware. But I should mention that there are 365 updates in my archive applied after the POSReady hack. And without this hack, you can't install those updates, either. So, it does not make sense to investigate them. And I already have a perfectly working Windows XP Professional installation with all POSReady updates. All my very deep investigations lead me to modify my null hypothesis: Here is my modified null hypothesis H0: "Thorium crashes due to the lack of one or more POSReady updates under certain hardware conditions". Personally, I tend to accept H0 due to my experiences and deep investigations. Unfortunately, the probability of type II error for this decision cannot be determined again due to the too small sample size, either.

To avoid messing up my main partition, I actually wanted to test Thorium in my second partition. But there, as already reported, the browser does not work stable. It crashes all the time. But in one of its bright moments, I was at least able to open a link from a PDF file in Thorium by directly clicking onto it. The REG files from Thorium were not the solution. They contain syntax errors. I made Thorium the default browser with the help of the Default Browser 1.8 tool that @dmiranda had already recommended here. For me, this tool worked as it should.

You seem to be using the older release Thorium_122.0.6261.168_WINXP_x32. But I am usimg the most recent release Thorium_SSE2_122.0.6261.171_WINXP_x32. Did you try this one on your computer where is installed Windows XP 32-bit without POSReady updates?

We already had this disscusion here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/184051-my-browser-builds-part-4/?do=findComment&comment=1251008 And there is nothing more to add to this statement.
