That might work too. When I do it with notepad I'm getting the same corrupt problem where it won't install.

When you set Notepad++ as default program to open .json-files, you can directly open and edit them from within the .xpi, save and the .xpi will be updated. [Edit] In my XP Virtual Machine I use an older version of Notepad++ (7.5.1), since newer versions don't support XP any more... npp.7.5.1.Installer.zip

You might try Notepad++...

Thank you for the kind words about my father. Rudy has two sons. Jason loew is his blood son and we have the same mothers and I am Tony Sotomayor. Rudy was my step dad. I miss him so much.And Im glad to see how he impressed his fellow programmers on this thread and how much they respect his work. I knew as a child Rudy was very intelligent and a gifted programmer. If anyone would like to download a picture of Rudy when he was in his last year in College at University of Oklahoma 1970(Sooner 1970). I have a pic of him that was taken of him at the Engineers Club Engineers week party pic. Maybe someone can put it on this thread or something? He was young fresh leaving college and healthy. Picture is how I like to remember him. You can email me direct for that pic or anything else you want to know about my dad at jasongeo2@aol.com

Try this for manifest.json if you're still having trouble, it works for me:

Latest version of G-O-YT, 1.15.2, installs and functions perfectly fine in St52 as long as the correct modification to its manifest.json file has been performed, which is probably where you messed-up... @vikmin : Since Serpent 52 does not observe extension-signing, you can also do away fully with the META-INF directory... Those not confident modifying source code files, may switch to Old Youtube, which was updated to v2.1.1 (I prefer myself the G-O-YT one because it's more failproof than O-YT ). NB: Serpent 52 does NOT currently search AMO for WE updates, so you must yourself do so (e.g. bookmarking both extensions' "versions" pages on AMO and visiting periodically...). Do keep in mind both extensions are just "hacks", they may break at any time, when Google completely obliterate the classic GUI's files from YT servers...

Hello Windows XP gaming community. I have what i believe are good news for you, if you are into emulation. I'm a developer and i've recently modified the latest version of the popular PCSX2 PlayStation 2 emulator to make it run again under the Windows XP operating system, since they removed that compatibility by 2016. The development to my modified version of PCSX2 started in May 2020, just when the latest stable official release was made public (v1.6.0), confirming it wasn't indeed compatible with XP. I wanted to do something about it, so i started peeking the code and considering the options i had. Well, after months of testing and patience, i got the latest v1.6.0 stable release from May 2020 running perfectly fine under XP. This project is called "PCSX2 XP" and is been made available from my website: http://neonfloppy.sytes.net/projects/pcsx2-xp/ and there is also a github repository: https://github.com/blueclouds8666/pcsx2_XP You may also join to my discord server, where you can find about my other projects and chat with other xp fans: https://discord.gg/KXKXcs4 I will be answering any questions you have regarding my project down below. I hope you all find this useful. Thanks for your attention.

@nicolaasjan, That makes it easier than extracting it. You can also directly edit the file with 7-zip within the .xpi and without extraction (it'll open notepad) but sometimes that works and sometimes not as far as corrupting the addon. Better to go with with a program like Notepad++ that's more reliable.

AnyDesk is my choice. You can use it locally via IP address instead of ID.

The way I do it is to export manifest.json with 7-zip, open it with Microsoft Word then copy the updated code in and import it back into the .xpi addon.

Window's Notepad is unsuitable for editing code ; as @nicolaasjan suggested, use for such tasks a dedicated code/text editor, with coloured syntax themes; proper code editors will automatically identify syntax errors (e.g. missing brackets, commas, etc.) and alert you about them (e.g. by highlighting the error block in a different colour or poping up a notification, etc...) [Another thing to consider when using Notepad is the encoding format when saving a modified file; usually Notepad saves a file as ANSI, but several code files need to be saved as Unicode/UTF-8 instead...]

Remote Utilities https://www.remoteutilities.com/ XP is officialy supported and they have a free licence up to 10 remote computers. Read the documentation. Once installed, you don't need to use their servers. I use this software since 2011 and I have a lot of licences (there was no free licence in 2011).

The Firefox add-on is of a type called Web Extension (Mozilla's attempt to ape Chromium extension format; search for more info...); Pale Moon, of which New Moon 27/28 is an unofficial fork, has never supported Web Extensions (by choice of its developers), thus 'Good Old Youtube' can't be installed in New Moon... Try Serpent 52.9.0 (the ia32 build should run on non-SSE2 CPUs, if you fall into that category) ... Sadly, at this very moment, Roytam1's binary repository is DOWN, so you may have to kindly ask for that among members here...

I do not think that uninstalling with an uninstaller would be that necessary. Once you have installed the driver place the extracted files in a different directory to trick the operating system. Then when you want to change drivers install a standard graphics driver first then reboot then update driver to what driver you want by selecting 'specify the location of the driver advanced' like you will need to do to install the standard driver then select 'display a list of all drivers' then select the driver you want. Because the OS does not know where the installation files are you have to specify and you should be prompted to overwrite the file versions or not in which case you do. It can be a fair few clicks to install but at least you know that it is installed correctly. Perhaps the shifting of the directory is unnecessary either but have the inf in that directory as well as the INF directory as the inf file will be asked for first after it is found in the INF folder and it has to be the right one. Have you tied unofficial drivers 82.69 as an all-rounder I have had no issues with it and have used Ti 4200.

https://anydesk.com/en I have tested AnyDesk to connect Win XP to Win 7 and it worked OK, I haven't tried connecting Win XP to Win 10.

I still think if we ever make a chat room for anything like the extended kernel project for instance, best bet would be do it on an IRC server rather than Discord. Less likely to end up seeing random id*** joining the chat who don't really care for talking any sense; it's not under a frighteningly increasingly monopolising duoculture killing off the whole idea of independent communities along with Reddit, and best of all IRC works really easily on any OS, same with a simple message board or wiki for these types of things. Kinda unrelated I guess, though I was making a point especially if @win32 sees this for instance.

I mean, I'm interested enough to notice that you made a spelling mistake in the emulator's name in your post, right there. XD I'll have a look at some point, but it's also worth noting (if you want to put these here) that the latest development builds of FCEUX work (tested the x64 version on both NT 5.2 and 6.0), as does the latest stable of Snes9x (1.60 if I'm not mistaken) which is a nice breath of fresh air. I have a real PS2 anyway so there's no legal implication to using the BIOS providing I use the one from my model (SCPH-50003), as I don't actually know how to dump it despite it being FMCB'd - I think something like that would require extra hardware-mods to dump properly. For more unified options in regards to console emulation, RetroArch broke compatibility some time ago without anyone noticing it (in fact I was the very person who pointed out their website info was inaccurate as well as the fact that using the MSVC2010 builds meant not having advantages like DX11), but I'd recommend Mednafen over RetroArch anyday given it actually makes some form of sense to the user and isn't a bloated mess.

Last time I needed something like that I used TightVNC: https://www.tightvnc.com/ jaclaz

So sorry to hear about this but, to be honest, was kind of expecting it to happen, if one takes into perspective their previous record: o.rthost.cf was taken down on ca. Oct 21st 2018; o.rths.cf was taken down on ca. Oct 8th 2019; and (not surprisingly) o.rths.ml has been taken down on Oct 22nd 2020... ... As you can tell, they are being consistent, allowing you a free domain for the duration of (approximately) a whole calendar year (and, as I recall, a maximum of 3 [free] domains can be granted to a free "freenom" account holder) ...

@roytam1: If you need help (uploading possibility) in the meanwhile, let me know...I could create an account for that. This is what I can do to say "Thanks for your browser builds!". So you would have the time to do the search for an appropriate provider. kind regards soggi

FWIW, Java 8 Update 271 is now out. I presume completely unusable on XP, but just thought I'd mention it!

Related upstream support forum thread: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=24993&p=197006 The website admins basically write code targeting very recent Javascript engines and/or Chrome-specific web technologies (e.g. ShadowDOM, part of Google Web Components); latest New Moon 28 should function correctly with WBM's timeline bar ; as for getting this to work under NM27, I can only guess it'd be an extremely difficult task, if at all achievable... Best greetings

I've done a couple more advancements towards Windows XP. In special, i was interested on making the DirectX 11 renderer work under XP. It is true there is no native DirectX 11 for Windows XP, but there have been attempts in the past to partially implement it on the system, unofficially of course. Most didn't seem to work in my context, but there was one that caught my attention and really helped me to partly achieve what i wanted. It is the WineD3D wrapper library, that converts DX11 calls to OGL. Obviously with a performance impact and with occassional bugs, but is interesting nonetheless. Down below you can see a screenshot of the DX11 renderer running with WineD3D. There's a bug with the bios colors but most game runs without any bug at all. I could find about this thanks to posts of fellow MSFN members, so i discovered XomPie's WineD3D libraries, the only ones i could make work. If you are any interested on trying this by yourself, all the information related has been posted on github: https://github.com/blueclouds8666/pcsx2_XP/issues/2

VS 2019 can still specifically target Windows XP. Since it works on NT 5.1, 5.2 x64 is probably a pass since it has more API functions implemented than 5.1.
