@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.

@Dietmar Do you have archived latest patches for HAL*.dll and intelppm.dll for most newer files that we have available? 5.1 x86 intelppm.sys 83 28 20 -> 83 50 21 83 74 1F -> 83 50 21 40 28 74 -> 40 28 50 14 20 22 -> 14 50 21 5.2 x86 intelppm.sys 68 2B 01 -> 90 2C 01 04 83 B4 -> 04 83 90 40 28 B4 -> 40 28 90 14 60 2D -> 14 90 2A 5.2 x64 intelppm.sys 4E FC 00 -> CC 7B 01 8A A1 FF FF 4C 8D 35 03 A2 -> 4A A1 FF FF 4C 8D 35 43 A1 8D 0D 5E -> 8D 0D 1E 0D 29 8B -> 0D 69 8A 5.1 x86 hal*.dll unknown 5.2 x86 hal*.dll unknown 5.2 x64 hal*.dll BA E2 0F 73 -> BA E2 0F EB E0 0F 73 0E -> E0 0F EB 0E Can you please check these patches or send me working modded files?

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

Hi @cmalex, is link on first page actual or have created another updated release? I'm just asking as I'm adding this to my personal XP SW Collection

Have you tried that tool? Probably not. You can always use what you want

I already got free lifetime license

@Outbreaker How does look your LIP collection? I would like to have it too EDIT: Maybe this is enough? https://archive.org/details/windows-xp-lip-all-language-interface-pack-files-only-x86

Does this matter? StorAhci was sample for 8 and now we have XP compatible code. Even If it will work only for Vista - 7 then its fine, we need to solve more Generic GPU issues on 5.1 - 6.1. I just checked how Kai modded his code to make it WDK 7.1 compatible. I have these samples for 8.0 so its same branch as Storahci. I hope its possible to compile it using WDK 7.1 then we can get XP-7 compatible driver

Maybe If someone can compile this with Windows 7 DDK https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/main/video/KMDOD

NDIS will be issue..

He is focused only on x64.

Use VL, problem solved.

Changing build for what test exactly? Compatibility of what exactly? If you want to lie for certain app, use Application Verifier. Otherwise build could be changed using hacking kernel32.dll If I remember correctly. Also If you just want to display different build in WinVer dialog, it can be done by registry

Whats exactly your goal?

@AstroSkipper I can try it, I'm running my XP2ESD images on few machines
