    Use the RIGHT version if you need minimal functionality, pure 2D drivers have 348K :)

    Bare 2D vmdisp9x in VESA mode now works better than VBEMP on the real hardware for example. Not ideally of course, some bugs exist still.

    Both 2D (vmdisp9x-1.2025.0.119b-driver-2d) and 3D (vmdisp9x-1.2025.0.119b-driver-3d-win95-min) versions cause Windows Protection Error on VMware Workstation 8 and on real iGPU Haswell

    However, I found an alternative player that got MP4 to play on NT 4 after trying at least 20 different media players. :)

    What kind of player is it?

    But I found the DirectX 6 patch anyway. Carnivores runs on Windows NT 4.0 with it!! :D

    Please write step-by-step tutorial how play MP4 and DivX on NT 4.0

    FIX if installation of SIGNED Addons doesn't work:
    younger versions contain a Mozilla SIGNATURE, which is in folder "META_INF", and also referred to inside install.rdf. Luckily many alternative browsers allow to install addons without signatures (or even can't handle them at all)
    HOWTO modify the xpi: make a backup copy of the original file, then open the XPI with with 7-zip, right-click on folder META_INF and remove whole folder. Perhaps also click on install.rdf to EDIT, and adjust text inside (not signed anymore). Do NOT save, instead CLOSE it by X in upper window corner => now 7-zip will ASK if you want to save changes - NOW save it. Close 7-zip with X, again it will ask - now save.

    What version 7-Zip? After delete META_INF 7-Zip not ask to save. When trying to install the edited .xpi, a message appears that the installation script was not found

    NVidia Video Driver Shutdown Fix

    in Windows 9x/ME

    Posted · Edited by reboot12

    @Drugwash

    Thanks for the quick answer but I have already given up using the 6200 card after I edited the file manually according to what I wrote LoneCrusader but it did nothing and the system still does not start :angry:
    https://msfn.org/board/topic/174096-nvidia-video-driver-shutdown-fix/page/6/#findComment-1104546

    Probably in my case there is another problem with the 6200 card. After a few days of trial and errors I have enough :puke:

    Unfortunately, I failed to use the PCIe ATI X300 or Nvidia 6200 in Win95 - I tried on 4 different computers.

    The best configuration in which I managed to start Win95 and the system works stable - I use for MIDI production/editing in MAGIX music studio 3.0 deLuxe:

    • Asus B85M-E Haswell 4 Gen CPU - need FIX95CPU by LoneCrusader
    • 2 GB RAM + PATCHMEM.EXE by Loew (alternative 8 GB RAM but need also HIMEMX.EXE /max=2G)
    • Intel iGPU + VBEMP 9x driver
    • Sound Blaster Live! PCI
    • Realtek 1Gb 8168 on NDIS2 DOS driver

    Windows 95 2.1GHz CPU Limit BROKEN!

    in Windows 9x Member Projects

    I use patch for CPU LoneCrusader and RAM by Rudolph. I want to test the Win95 in a PC with 1 GB RAM with patch on a CPU but no patch for RAM.

    I will try it for RAM: https://web.archive.org/web/20060220020236/http://www.starburst2005.com/windows98.html

    I uninstalled patchmem.exe but now after the restart I have a error that there is no file or is damaged VMM32.VXD I check on the disk and he is in WINDOWS\SYSTEM

    Why is he damaged? I use a USB update. Does the USB update modify this file? I don't know where to get this file now.

    Need help with running VLC 0.8.6d on Windows 95

    in Windows 9x/ME

    Posted · Edited by reboot12

    Best version VLC for Win95 is 0.8.6f but you need Unicows.exe:
    VLC-Win95.png

    I have this software:

    • USB support + USBUPD
    • MS Office 95
    • IE 5.5 SP2
    • DirectX 8.0a
    • Winsock 2 Update (W95ws2setup.exe)
    • Windows Installer 2.0 (Instmsia.exe)
    • Unicows (Unicows.exe)
    • VC6Redist (VC6RedistSetup_enu.exe)

    I tried versions g, h, i but runs in CMD - no access to GUI (I use GeForce 6200 PCIe card + 66.94 NVIDIA drivers)

    File copying / moving

    in Windows 9x/ME

    Posted · Edited by reboot12

    Yea, I love this tool - works on Win95 and add right-click context menu KillCopy to... & KillMove to...
    I use a Standart skin because I don't like Default
    KillCopy.png

    Thanks to this, I have context menu copy/move options because the bottom registry entries work only in Win98 and newer: 

    REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Copy to]

    I tried this with the Asus P8H61-M LE R2 with CPU 2Gen Sandy Bridge + RAM 2GB

    CPU patch works but I need also use memory patch by Rudolph (PATCHMEM.EXE)

    • I tried the GeForce 6200 PCIe card but no driver works 77.72, 81.98 - memory protection error VXDLDR, same as https://msfn.org/board/topic/141402-windows-95-21ghz-cpu-limit-broken/page/7/#findComment-949596
    • there is one PCI slot on the motherboard but Win95 sees no card in the Device Manager (I tried SB128 and SB Live), OS not see any PCI devices:
      no-PCI-devices.png
    • I managed to install the VBEMP iGPU driver and I have a native resolution of the 1280x1024 monitor but it does not work 3D
    • SATA disk works in IDE mode, I use 160 GB and 5 GB primary active partition. OS see partition but no any IDE controller drivers in Device Manager:
      MS-DOS-compatibility.png
    • keyboard USB (bios emulation PC/AT)
    • mouse PS2 (motherboard has one PS2 port)
    • If I start Win95 with a USB FAT32 stick connected, he sees it as a fixed hard drive D: and you can copy files from/to it :rolleyes:

    Are there any USB 3.0/xHCI drivers for Windows XP x64?

    in Windows XP 64 Bit Edition

    Posted · Edited by reboot12

    USB3 and other ported drivers can be found in my WinXP 64-bit and WinXP 32-bit projects on MDL:
    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/winxp-64-bit-on-a-modern-pc-iso-boot-wim-install-wim.88435/
    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/winxp-32-bit-on-a-modern-pc-iso-boot-wim-install-wim.88834/

    Look at tutorial.html in my signature.

    P.S. I tested also Generic SD/MMC driver and works OK with SD Card.

    The content of sdbus.inf file indicates that drivers should also work with eMMC disks. Unfortunately, I tried on Dell Wyse 5070 but the WinXP 64-bit does not see the eMMC disk so I have no way to check if the drivers work.

    I am very curious if you can use the eMMC disk in WinXP - boot or as a data storage?

    eMMC disk in WinXP 32/64-bit

    in Windows XP

    Posted · Edited by reboot12

    Maybe the @George King eMMC driver is good, but the XP does not see the disk just like the Realtek sound card https://msfn.org/board/topic/186847-winxp-sp2-64-bit-on-asus-j1800i-c-baytrail/#findComment-1281009

    I am also trying to use the eMMC disk in Win7 but also does not see the disk. In addition, if I restart the computer from Win7, the eMMC disk disappears in the bios (EMMC Device: none) and UEFI Shell (no fs1: Ctrl device):
    no-e-MMC-bios.jpg no-e-MMC-shell.png

    To be visible, I have to close the system, disconnect the power cable for a few seconds, connect the cable back - I need cold start. Bios - EMMC Device: 16 GB, UEFI Shell: fs1: Ctrl device present:

    eMMC disk in WinXP 32/64-bit

    I found information that for Windows 7 to support the eMMC disk you need to update the storport.sys file - Windows6.1-KB2732471-v2-x64.msu

    KB2732471-v2 update storport.sys is 6.1.7601.17956

    I use WinXP x64 AHCI, NVMe ported drivers from @George King and storport.sys 6.1.7601.25735. If the version is newer, it means that it contains eMMC fix from 17956 ?

    eMMC disk in WinXP 32/64-bit

    in Windows XP

    Posted · Edited by reboot12

    I have a Dell Wyse 5070 test machine with two disks - eMMC 16 GB and M2 SATA 128 GB

    I installed on M2 WinXP 64-bit in pure UEFI and the OS works well. I have ported eMMC drivers but the system does not see eMMC disk both on system drivers and on those ported. There is only an SD controller device in the Unknown section in the Device Manager:
    XP64-M2-SATA.png hwinfo.png

    I added HW ID PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_31CC controller to the sdbus.inf file but nothing helps.

    eMMC_xp64.zip

    Installation of the KB934428 update does not help either.

    P.S. Same eMMC disk works OK in Win10:

    Though I'm not sure how, since XP drivers for Haswell are very problematic or non existent at ll.

    Eh, everything is described in this forum - learn to look for before you write senseless posts :boring:

    I'm getting old. How is there a sound card inside an Intel processor? Where does it output the audio? Only on HDMI?

    Normally the same as in the PCIe HD graphics card, e.g. AMD HD7450:
    AMD-HD-Audio.png

    Audio output from Intel CPU is over HDMI, DP or DVI (DVI only if in bios is function Audio over DVI and you need DVI > DP or DVI > HDMI cable:
