If you are into playing games and making games on old Windows computers, look what's out there: A current game engine, that supports Windows 95! It's called OHRRPGCE. This seems to be the homepage: http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/Main_Page In the changelog for its current version, it says: ...Windows 95 is supported again!... This thing supports everything, it seems. Also smartphones, Linux and MacOS. It seems their games are found here: https://www.slimesalad.com/ A lot of projects look very amateur and poorly made, but the so called "best" game is something with dogs and mice in strange outfits. I've never seen something like this to be honest. But it is a new game that works on Windows 95. So who says now Windows 9x is dead?

WPS Office 2019 runs on XP, no patches required.

Server 2008 is the obvious choice being closer to XP. All this update does is update tzres.dll (Time Zone Resources), but that file doesn't exist in XP. What I see in 2000/XP is tzchange.dll and tzchange.exe, which can be used to modify time zones, and OS updates seem to use this tool to modify them as well (9x uses timezone.dll and timezone.exe). We should compare with XP timezone updates. If done correctly, we will have a Server 2008 update backported to XP, 2000 and 9x! (XP's DST update was backported to 9x) Thing is that these omniglot NT6 updates are confusing. Anyone know of a tool to properly extract them on my NT5 machine? Forget some of that noise, actually. All we need to do is write an INF specifying the timezone changes (as listed in the support article), I believe, in the same format as an official XP timezone update. No need to go into 2008 updates. OK, so the changes can be summed up as: Brazil no longer has DST, affects E. South America Standard Time and Central Brazilian Standard Time Morocco Standard Time fixed, changed from UTC +02 to UTC +01 Now how to express that in hex... The reg entries that would need to be changed would be in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones, specifically Central Brazilian Standard Time and E. South America Standard Time. Under each is a "Dynamic DST" key with listings of DST dates (in hex) from 2004 to 2040, which means presumably Windows XP will stop changing from ST to DT after 2040. I think we can just delete the Dynamic DST entry for Central Brazillian and E. SA time because Saskatchewan time has no DST and no such entry, and simply modify the main key for Morocco Standard Time (which is somehow, still UTC 0 on my XP).

Yes, that's me :P. And fair enough. I hope the person who makes this has time soon. World is in chaos now and I'm suspecting that he/she is rather busy with things at the moment.

Yep mate , I didn't noticed it screwed system but I tried it on my second rig , professionaI one I allow to update . My main comp for gaming multimedia is blocked on 18362.628.

Let me guess, you replace dwmcore.dll/uDWM.dll with the ones from previous build?

... This isn't quite accurate... An SSL labs server test, https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=ffmpeg.zeranoe.com reveals that the hostname resolves to two IPv6 and two IPv4 addresses (4 in total); selecting, for example, the first IPv4 one (104.24.105.227) : https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=ffmpeg.zeranoe.com&s=104.24.105.227 ... one can see that the site supports even TLS 1.0 (which is why it is capped with a B mark): However, you are right in saying that the site can't be accessed on XP with browsers that rely on the OS crypto libraries (like IE8/Chrome 49), and this is reflected on the test site as well: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Handshake Simulation Chrome 49 / XP SP3 Server sent fatal alert: handshake_failure IE 8 / XP No FS No SNI Server sent fatal alert: handshake_failure ------------------------------------------------------------------ ... however this fact is purely because: === This site works only in browsers with SNI support === SNI requires Vista at minimum; FWIW, I can load the Zeranoe forums site with IE9 on my Vista SP2 laptop... OT: I hope you're all well and staying safe, away from Covid-19 infection...
