@Dietmar Perfect! I works like a charm! Can you please patch XP 5.1 halmapci.dll with same patch too please? I would like to have option for HAL Timer patch without needs of usage PAE patch- Here is untouched file https://ufile.io/19fgyio7

@Dietmar Apologies, here is on better hosting https://ufile.io/sedncwt5

Hi @Dietmar, here is halmacpi.dll from 2003 x86. https://file.io/UwwY04hoZIj2

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

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.

Nope, porting newer HDA seems impossible. You can try one of ported beta HDAs. https://www.mediafire.com/folder/gpl7nk2osi3vl/Generic_HDA

@Mov AX, 0xDEADHi, any news on providing your latest source code patches for public Please?

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.

Anybody tested Huorong Internet Security? Link https://www.huorong.cn/person5.html Download: https://www.huorong.cn/downloadv5.html?status=hrstat&src=19

@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..

I need to find your latest HAL patches here in topic... Specially x86 5.2. About ACPI, I'm using these post compile hacks for files builded for latest sources from first post. I think they are fine.

PM me

@Jakob99 I will check that file. I think I have ported one for XP (Generic_Touchpad_6.2.9200.16384), but have not tried it real machine. Will check it soon, as your not alone who searching for Generic_Touchpad driver solution. I will check 6.3 driver to see missing imports and if we can get needed code for missing imports..

@AstroSkipper I have builded new testing machine capable to run XP - 11 (Asus B360, Intel i5 9400F, 32GB RAM, NVIDIA 980 Ti). I will try today install XP x64 with everything until 08-2019 to see how it goes. I think I have succesfully installed Panda on my x64 images in past. But I will download latest offline installer to confirm it. On x86 was everything fine. No issues at all.

About x64 5.2 - this is only one we are talking about. Just note many apps have stupid lock to 6.0, I faced various of them. They cant be lauched until you fix them. For example latest CrystalDiskInfo

Where to buy it?

Nope, XP x86 is 5.1 instead of XP x64 which is 5.2.

Thats expected it wont work. with Windows 8 storport. During this GenAHCI journey I have checked storport 2003 vs 8 a lot. Many structures were changed, same with various functions. Thats why I tried to use custom one and redirect much as possible in GenAHCI. Another idea will be to extend storpor8, but I have not started with this yet because we can maybe start from patched 2003 storport source and extend it to like 8.1 / 10. But thats currently too much work and I don't have currently time for it.

What storport version have you used? You will probably need patched Windows 7 one that supports it. Let me know how it goes with this full package. Otherwise I have no idea where could be issue. Generic_AHCI_6.3.0.1_x64.7z https://file.io/eHxslBEsVKY6 Here is also latest patched CrystalDiskInfo for XP x64 SFX Repack https://file.io/UozyMNbrOmqt

GenAHCI 6.3.0.1 GenAHCI is storage driver replacement for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8.0 and their Server equivalents based on official Windows 8.1 StorAHCI source code sample This patched source code is based on previously developed patch for Windows 8.0 source code sample by Kai Schtrom https://sourceforge.net/projects/storahci-for-windows-2003/ Even it looks like Windows 8.0 to 8.1 is small step, driver code was changed on many places. Almost everything was patched to be compatible with Windows XP and driver can be succesfully installed or integrated into Windows Setup https://github.com/GeorgeK1ng/GenAHCI
