  1. Thanks dencorso, I think I'm fine with what I have, then. I have a 5.2.3790.3959 usbhub.sys and in the properties it mentions SP2.

     

    I have a newer one, 5.2.3790.4555 , from some later hotfix update, props: 5.2.3790.4555 (srv03_sp2_qfe.090718-1230)

     

    I got second time restart when launching BlazeDTV app for DVB so it's not just a coincidence. I googled hard and found a newer FlyDVB hybrid PCI tuner driver (2 years after current) that is unified for WinXP-Win8.1 so I could hope that it will help.

  2. Hi,

    I'm also interested in patching WinXP PAE. Not because of a deficit of memory (my MB with initel P31 cannot install >4GB anyway) but more just because curiosity. I was, till now, in belive that only Vista/7-32b can be easily unlocked and XP is missing the necessary PAE code. 1st I found a thread on overclock.net and then links here and to China sites. The patch was there probably since 2011!

     

    So I did some testings on 2 machines:

    home: C2D E8600, 4GB RAM, Nvidia 7900GT 256MB, RTL8111 NIC, SB Audigy, FlyDVB Duo PCI, WinXP SP3 CZ, most up to date

    work: core i7 750, 8GB RAM, Nvidia GF210 512MB, RTL8111 NIC, RT HD Audio, WinXP SP3 CZ, most up to date

     

    Tested patches: scdeny XP64G 2.1, Dencorso manual search & replace parch of kernel & hal, patched english and chinese kernel & hal from overclock.net

    I was a bit suspicios about running chinese XP64G patch so I made MD5 sum of all windows files but none was modified by patch itself. It just create copy of kernel and hal files, patch them and add new boot entry so it's noninvasive and clean. I also used latest usb*.sys drivers from Win2k3 server as suggested.

     

    Results: in all cases I got working PAE in meaning of visible full 4 resp. 8GB on both machines. At home machine I got a crash (imediate reboot) one time when I launched BlazeDVB-T software for digital tuner. It was with XP64G patch. But I cannot more reproduce this bug. I use the patch 1 week and no further problems. On machine at work I tried to fill up all 8GB and even more to beinig swapping but it withstand the load. I also measured 2D gfx performance with Tom2D benchmark but dind't find significant diffs. Even curiusly with PAE I got slightly higher GDI score than in standard mode. Here are some screens http://rayer.g6.cz/1tmp/xppae/ I read that the patch may cause BSODs when using unpatched usb drivers but I didn't encounter this problem. I tried copy data to usb flash before I overwrite usb*.sys drivers. Also realtek NIC driver was blamed as source of BSOD but I didn't get any (I used older version from 2009, now upgraded to 2014 - the driver is claimed to be common with Win2k3 so I would expect it's PAE proof). But I don't run any server with heavy load and many connections. Just common browsing and file downloads - no problem.

    I also read about possibility of use hal.dll from XP SP1. I grab the correct one, unpatched, but it cause immediate reboot when I tried to load it with patched kernel.

     

    Does anybody proved some different behavior between Dencorso and scdeny XP64G patch? It patches different bytes. Here's my diff:

    I'm not sure what this patch on hal.dll really do - if it forces all (even PAE capable) drivers to use DMA doublebuffer to keep safe?

    I continue with testing having it as a default boot setup and report if some BSOD occur.

  3. > jaclaz

    I checked this and steering is enabled (IRQ tables loaded by ACPI). But IRQ is not problem and can be changed.

    > TmEE

    Thanks, I modified it this way, deleted from dev mgr and let it redetect but any chage. I still cannot set different I/O than standard IDE.

    I quickly checked PCI registers and saw some differences of setting BARs and maybe something else under XP vs 98. I will make a simple tool to dump and reload all PCI regs and try to set them before boot but maybe win98 will change it anyway...

  4. You can *try* listing ALL the IRQ/resource settings in XP and see if you can manually replicate them under Win98, possiby disabling/removing some other devices, but it is hard to say if you may succeed :(.

    No, I cannot replicate it under Win98. There is only limited set of configurations and I cannot see the same IO address range as I can see under XP. IRQ is not a problem, I can assign IRQ5 that is free (LPT use IRQ7). Maybe... I read that ISA cards has configurable IO address range 0000-3FF and PCI 0000-FFFF, maybe Win98 treats the pcmcia/cardbus bridge as ISA device even if it is PCI and don't allow the high IO FFE0-FFEF but why?

    The problem is likely that standard IDE controller driver of 98 is dumped on the hardware, and that driver does not allow free adjustment of the resources. However you should be able to add new ranges to the INF and that should make it work...

    I'm not much familiar with INF files, could you help me to which section should I add the IO address range? When CF card was first plugged it detected standard IDE/ESDI controller and it found a driver in windows/inf/mshdc.inf - so you mean this file should be modified...

    And I got some idea: I can dump PCI configuration registers of pcmcia bridge under XP and I can set them under Win98 or under DOS just before Win98 boots. I have some bare datasheet of the bridge but there's no description of registers. As a minimum I can check if they are same or different. But I think it may have another configuration regs in IO or MMIO space...

  5. that some early version cannot recognize "some memory cards" . :unsure:

    jaclaz

    Thanks, but drivers package you linked doesn't support OZ6933, only older OZ68xx. Later I found newer driver:

    O2Micro cardbus controller driver V04.18.01 that contains also VXD file:

    25993 Apr 18 2001 cb418ali.w98

    25993 Apr 18 2001 cbsso2.vxd

    7392 May 14 2001 o2mcbse.cat

    6137 Apr 30 2001 o2mcbse.inf

    I clean up registry from older drivers and intalled this new version but same result.

    I know that Compact Flash can work in 2 modes: IDE/ATA and PC Card (PCMCIA). This mode is selected by one CF pin that is probably manipulated by PCMCIA slot bridge. Maybe WinXP uses it in PCMCIA mode that doesn't require conflicting standard IDE IO address and under Win9x it for some reason use ATA mode and I cannot force it to flip but not sure...

    EDIT:

    Here are screenshots from device manager - Win98SE:

    And WinXP (here it works out of the box, no drivers needed):

  6. Hi,

    I upgraded my NTB to slightly newer model from N600c to N620c and I have also Win98SE there. Windows redetected all HW and I installed all necessary drivers. Everything works except PCMCIA problem with CF card to PCMCIA adapter. Old NTB use PCMCIA controller from TI, N620 has O2Micro OZ6933. I even found "drivers" resp. just an INF file for this controller and installed it.

    I have no problem with PCMCIA WiFi card, it works fine but when I push there a CF adapter I get BSOD. After I pressed key I can back to windows that leaved alive little bit. I went to device manager and see the problem. The CF card was detected under disk controllers as a standard IDE and there was warning about resources conflict. So I went to resources card and see that it uses standatd IDE port IO address 170-177 and 376-377 and IRQ0. I disabled the automatic configuration and explore 13 available settings but every of them was in conflict. Mostly because of 170-177 and 1F0-1F7 are used by my onboard IDE (HDD on pri & DVD on sec. channel). There was also configuration that uses only IO 0000-000F that was in conflict with DMA controller and other one that uses only memory range 00000000-000007FF that was in conflict with ACPI BIOS (this is IVT). So there was no chance to select non-conflicting option. This is why it's called plug & pray...

    Under WinXP it works fine and when I looked at resources the CF card was assigned to only some high IO addres like FC00 or something like this, no IRQ required, no IDE port conflict...

    Just for curiosity I tried to disable my secondary IDE channel to free resources for CF card. It didn't BSOD when I pushed card in and even it beeped like it did on old NTB but I didn't get assigned a drive letter. I tried different CF cards but no result. Last I disabled this standard IDE to prevent BSOD and reenabled secondary onboard IDE for DVD. BIOS doesn't offer any options for pnp & resources.

    Did someone else have this issue and solved it? On N620c or similar NTB with similar PCMCIA controller?

  7. Unless you limited memory to less than 768MB you need to set MaxFileCache as well.

    Yes I limited to 64MB...

    I cloned the Hard Drive from my MA785 Computer, which is about a year older, ran a Registry Script that stripped all of the Driver Entries except for a few ROOT and Network Entries, and redetected everything.

    I moved my installation too instead of clean instal. About 4 or 5 years ago I installed on Asus intel 945/ICH7 then moved to P31/ICH7 and now I was trying to move to B75...

    I also moved Windows NT 4.0 - they are portable very well. I used even older install made on intel BX440, installed some drivers and still working. It's probably advantage of limited plug&pray, no ACPI etc... :)

    A few of my Programs had to be reworked such as my SMM Hook, 64-Bit RAM API and Multi-Core API. The built in Ethernet had no Driver so I needed to add a PCI Card.

    Cool, I saw you made 64bit api and multicore support. I just tried the demo but didn't worked for me (C2D E8500), just display

    "No Available Cores"

    of course I had installed DEMOCORE.VXD and added in system.ini and rebooted.

    I would like to know who want to develop some heavy computation using SMP on windows98 now but it's cool as tech. demonstration of possibilities. AFAIK Japheth or someone else was experimenting with 64b long mode under DOS but nobody used it in some app yet...

    I have had so many problems with SETUP.EXE that I bypassed it years ago. I created a "pre-installed Windows Setup CD" that allows me to setup a new Machine without using Setup and with my Patches already Slip-Streamed in. I don't remember if I ever tried SETUP.EXE on the M5A97.

    Yes this is good idea. Win98 seems to be portable enough. I'm not sure if there's no problem with changing APM/ACPI HAL (could I call it HAL? You kno similar problem in 2k/XP..) ...I remember I was able to change from APM to ACPI, it redetected and installed devices but power button didn't worked. So making clean install on some generic HW like in som virtual machine and ther distrubute it to target PC and let system redetect all HW. Yes it seems to be only viable way...

  8. Now, the good news!

    - There are 2 PCI slots to be used for a VGA and sound card.

    - PCI VGA can be set as the active card in BIOS so that two cards (old PCI for Win98 and a new PCI-E card) can be installed in the same computer.

    I was also thinking about this 2-VGA solution. I vaguely remember that Win98 should support more than 1 VGA (on just only monitors?)...

    Would be possible to use secondary PCI VGA without switching it in BIOS? It would be anoying to go to setup before boot, maybe it could be reconfigured by writting to some chipset/vga PCI registers before win98 will boot...

  9. >SInce you had a problem with HIMEMX, use HIMEM.

    I tried too, used himex for limiting XMS to 512M, I also limided by maxphyspage in system.ini on installed system but no effect.

    >DO NOT USE AHCI, it will crash.

    Of course, I use IDE mode.

    >Go into Safe Mode, remove ALL Drivers, reboot into normal mode and redetect Drivers.

    I tried to remove many system drivers that I guessed may cause problem but there was many entries, some doubled and I didn't have much time so I didn't clear it all an unable start in normal mode.

    Does setup.exe work on your system too or you installed on other PC/VM ?

    It's positive that it runs on some UEFI mobos, maybe it depend on how they take care about compatability module...

  10. Hi,

    I had a chance to test quite new mobo Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3V (for my colleague's parents) with UEFI for 2 days. CPU is intel Pentium G860 Sandybridge, chipset (PCH) intel B75 and 4GB RAM. It has integrated VGA - intel HD gfx in CPU core with configurable VRAM size (par of system RAM - I allocated 256MB). It has also one LPT, COM and PS/2 port.

    I just done some quick tests using my utils to see how well it works under DOS. Logs are here.

    You can look at new UEFI SETUP interface. It run in gfx mode and use mouse. http://rayer.g6.cz/1tmp/GA-B75M-D3V/SETUP/. There are some legacy settings like SATA IDE mode vs AHCI, emulation of port 60/64 for USB KBD, mouse emulation, loading ROM and UEFI ROM modules from peripherals, setting of LPT mode, address and IRQ. There's no advanced. setting for COM ports. I found the setup has quite poor set of settings compared to my old classic Award BIOS 6.00.

    I ran FreeDOS and MSDOS on it without problems. Kbd and mouse emulation works quite well. One issue I observed was that JEMMEX and HIMEMX detected wrong XMS size - only 0,5GB instead of 3,x GB like MS himem.sys from Win98 did. It is caused by some memory holes - non-contiognous area.

    Further comments in thread on BTTR forum.

    I tried to install Win98SE there just for fun but I was unable to run setup (regarless various options an configuration). So I copied my working copy of W98 but it failed to boot with message about missing c:\windows\system\vmm32.vxd - sure it was there and ending with message you ma turn off PC now. It happened in 1sec. When I enabled F8 tracking and answer no to load all drivers it booted in safe mode. That was all I can did.

    This mobo is simply too new for Win9x :(

    I expect it will be similar for different manufactures based on new PCH chipsets intel 5x/6x/7x. So last know working config remains iP/G41+ICH7, maybe ICH9-10...

    WinXP works fine there. This machine has Samsung 840 SSD and I was able to install AHCI driver after installation but performance gain is weak:

    IDE mode: 400MB/s, CPUI load 10%

    AHCI mode: 405MB/s, CPU load 7%

    I also tried to integrated iastor.sys into my instllation CD, then I was able to run windows setup in AHCI mode but after last restart (windows install almost complette) it didn't boot - ended in restart loop. So this is reason why I installed in IDE mode and enabled AHCI later. I suspect taht driver was installed but registry entry was not properly set to load iastor.sys _during_ system boot. But I don't know where to change it in install scripts. I was able to install all drivers for chipset, network, intel core VGA, sound... except:

    radic jednoduche komunikace pro sbernici PCI

    (controller of simple communication for PCI bus)

    VID:8086 DID:1E3A sub 1C3A/1458 rev 04

    but it's not important for working system.

    It runs very fast from SSD, boot time about 12sec. :)

  11. I tested various Seamonkey versions:

    2.1b2 - 2.7 - bookmarks doesn't work

    2.1b1 - black window without text (in all compat modes)

    2.1a1 - 2.1a3 - OK

    I upgraed from 2.0.14 to 2.1 alpha 3

    EDIT: I found that 2.1 alpha 3 is unstable and crashed when loading some webpages that 2.0.14 displayed correctly. So I'm back on 2.0.14...

  12. So far, Kernel Ex has worked well on a virtual 98SE unit. The present version of SeaMonkey (2.4.1) runs but has a few issues. The "set as default" option doesn't work, asks every time. On the virtual system SeaMonkey will not save or import bookmarks. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem with my virtual system?

    Last when I tested Seamonkey 2.1 with kex 4.5.1 it froze. so I see it made some progress :) I'll test new 2.7.1 with kex 4.5.2 on real machine

  13. Hello, this is sequel of an old thread that tries to collect informations from users about working apps under Win98SE+KernelEx. I'll try to manage a compact and sorted list in the 1st post for better readability. In your posts please note exact version of app (you can include link), version of KernelEx and compatability mode you used. If it's working partially, shortly note what doesn't work.

    Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2, why: Installs from the .msi but doesn't run. No error message. Use latest native version 9.0

    CPU-Z 1.5.7 and newer, why: The error code 0x5003 occured during initialization with KX 4.5.1. Use version 1.5.6 that is last with Win9x native support.

  14. Winamp Pro 5.541 works with KX 4.5.1

    Winamp 5.35 was probably the latest with native win98 support.

    BTW I think it would be good idea to create application list in 1st post because now it's spreaded on 8 pages that become a mess...

    I can see that author of 1st post here is signed "banned" so he probably cannot update this. I can help with it if admin allows me to moderate this thread.
