Then something's wrong on your end, according to @George King, and I quote.
"When I installed Windows XP SP3+ (All updates until 04-2019 and .NET and Visual C++)"
"it (Supermium) works like a charm." @George Kingwouldn't tell crap, trust me.

Fully updated Windows is always key, specially in XP days. I can't uderstand why a lot of people ignoring UpdatePacks and they crying and complaining. It's still same after another 10 years.
Yes, and of course there could be bugs. But I quess I must face these issues, when testing images on real machines.
Another point is, many "Windows XP Enthusiast" never have real XP machine and never used them, they are just too young..

I would have my doubts that NVMe SSD is actually 2TB if it only cost $20
Have you tested for it's actual capacity?
Yeah, this one I bought for 19.99.

Probably a reference edition will fit in that case, I'd also recommend to look at Titan X, 980Ti. Both will work with XP by adding an inf string, both are not huge (reference, slim design).
980 Ti is 2x - 3x bigger than 710.
This is my 980 Ti.
Im awaiting brand new SZMZ GTX 960 and CCTING R9 280X… I think R9 vs 980Ti on x64 XP will be interesting to compare, both should be 384 bit.
Btw, this setup runs now on unknown brand 2TB NVMe from AliExpress which cost 20$.. Dual Boot 11 and XP in CSM.

It can be disabled via regedit. Under the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearchingset on 1
DontPromptForWindowsUpdate
and
DontSearchWindowsUpdate
These are just for drivers searching speedup
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearching" /v "DontSearchWindowsUpdate" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearching" /v "DontPromptForWindowsUpdate" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearching" /v "DontSearchFloppies" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul

Hi,
does anybody know, how to disable the assistant of the Device Manager?
This photo is from the HP 255 g6 in full Acpi-Multiprocessor mode.
But the search for new hardware stops with this and I cant move the mouse or use keyboard

I reorganized the contents of cmalex's distribution of Python 3.8.13 and made a simple batch file to install it along with shortcuts, file associations and environment variables. You can download it here:

Hi, great package!
Just check line 56 in Install.bat. It should be %SystemDrive% instead of %ProgramFilest%. Also using %%SystemDrive%% to keep them as variables in registry could be fine too.
And line 68 have unneeded colon (:) in InstallDir %SystemDrive%:. SystemDrive returns drive with colon like C:

Everything was changed - see used structures in storport 7 vs 8. After 8056 was changed build environment - see other drivers for PoFx.. functions.
It will probably never work. And If then only for specific driver, like Daniels NVMe 8.1 for 7. which have working TRIM in 7.
Maybe you can start there instead. I tried patch his already patched files for 7 to XP in past. But without success.
1 -
@Damnation Because after 8056 was changed build environment and they pushed more incompatible code there. Trying to port whole 8 storport probably can't bring much benefits at all as structures were changed a lot. When I was porting 8.1 StorAhci code to XP with Kai 8 port I saw these changes. Instead of patching 8 storport would be better to start adding needed functions into Kai storport source based on 2003 sp1 storport. Same as Mov does with ACPI.

@Ratte Your mentioned drivers cannot be ported with Extender, as I already told you in PM, there are too much missing imports in newer drivers than 8056. I have already tried adding all PoFx.. functions as blank stubs. This wont work. Until you decompile and rewrite these functions. They have a lot of callbacks and probably not possible to rebuild them without some code leak.

@Dietmar Perfect! I works like a charm!

Please send me the hal.dll from x86 Win Server, that you want to be patched.
The intelppm.sys, that I send to ramsey works always, independend if you use PAE or not.
I found therin a second place, where it has to be patched for to put all the power saving states to D1

Hi @Dietmar,
here is halmacpi.dll from 2003 x86.

Hi @Dietmar I have tested on my machines PPM and HAL patches for XP 5.1 and 5.2 x64, my testing machine works very well with them. When I'm not use them I receive random freezes on applications. For example Snappy Driver Installer. I think your PPM patch works as expected for 5.2 x86. But I don't have HAL patch. Thats currectly missing piece in my puzzles. Cna you please try to install on your machine Server 2003 and find correct HAL patch? Your timer patches for x64 HAL and PPM works well.
For example when I use your PPM patch for 5.1 I need to use PAE patch otherwise nothing changes. (Doesn't matter if use 4GB or 128GB it must contain some HAL timer patch too)

@Mark-XP It would be interesting to perform same test with Windows Server 2003 SP2 x86 as Windows XP x64 SP2 boots "fine" in UEFI from GPT disk partitioned by Windows 7 x64 setup.
These builds should come from same source tree, so there is a chance 2003 x86 can do it instead of XP. And probably can be done by disk.sys + partmgr.sys from 2003

Even if that's the case, that still won't change my decision. I will still wait Supermium to support XP in 2024.
I'm not sure if we speak in same language. As your reaction have zero context to my post.

It can be easily de-timebomded. In issues on GitHub is HEX patch to get rid of TimeBomb

@reboot12 Have you tested it with FlashBoot 3.3p too?
Changelog Jun, 24 of 2023 Minor update 3.3p released. Hardware compatibility improvements for "Windows 7 installation to the modern computers" feature. Starting from this version, VGA emulation patch for UEFI loader skips GOP video modes which are advertised by UEFI firmware but do not fit into the firmware-allocated framebuffer. This fixes black screen problem for recent nVidia GPUs whose UEFI Option ROM truncates UEFI GOP framebuffer to 1024x768 but leaves higher-resolution video modes in the UEFI GOP mode table.

@GD 2W10Yes, from various builds. Mostly untested.

Would NTOSKRNL Emu Extender be able to backport the generic audio drivers in Vista x64 to XP x64? I installed XP x64 on my Surface Pro 1, and I can't install any audio drivers, so would backporting the generic audio drivers from Vista/7/8 x64 to XP work with NTOSKRNL Emu Extender?
Nope, porting newer HDA seems impossible. You can try one of ported beta HDAs.

@Mov AX, 0xDEADHi, any news on providing your latest source code patches for public Please?
0 -
Yes, It's new for me too. I have downloaded it and installed on offline Windows XP x64 machine. I have not found silent install switch. Installation was fast and in English. UI doesn't looks bad. I will post some screenshots later.
Good is it run on XP, hopefully they not spying a lot..
Someone needs to check if there are any hidden connections.

@Dietmar Please let me know how your Win7 32bit test goes. I have Asus B360 and I can install my modded XP without issues with all drivers and everything seems fine. But when I try Windows 7 32bit with same generic driver set, no USB works. Same process I do for Win7 x64 and here works everything. Any idea why this can happend? Windows 8.0 32bit and USB doesn't work. But when using XP with same ported Windows 8 driver all works..
EDIT: Windows 10 32 bit have same issue as Windows 7 32 bit on my board. No USB at all. On 64bit it works fine..
