Supermium 126.0.6478.254 64-bit, XP64-bit - works in PL
1 -
A CSMWrap version has been released, which allows you to use the BIOS video from the disk from EFI\Boot\vgabios.bin

Thanks to this, WinXP boot OK on iGPU using ntldr as on a normal Legacy machine
- I tested CoffeeLake, Haswell, SandyBridge: CSM Disabled, iGPU VBIOS extracted from motherboard bios.
Now - I don't have to use SeaVGABIOS and Longhorn bootmgr 5472 loader.

Have you tried using the SP2 HAL with the WinXPPAE.exe 3.5.0.0 patch tool patched SP2 kernel?
WinXPPAE 3.5 can't patch any SP2 hal version:
Patching halmacpi.dll (ACPI Multiprocessor PC HAL)... Invalid file!

So, do you think the two patches I've tried are actually doing exactly the same thing, so there's no advantage of one over the other?
I don't know, but if you compare patched kernel files 5.1.2600.6368 in a hex editor and are changed exactly the same bytes in the same offsets, it means that they work the same. You must first patch using a patcher v3.5 kernel file 5.1.2600.6368
ntkrnlpa.exe 5.1.2600.6368 > https://catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=2813170
WinXPPAE.bat script default patch all RAM:
WinXPPAE.exe /M:ALL /NOBACKUP
so, put ntkrnlpa.exe (GDR version) and WinXPPAE.exe in same folder then patch as above:
winxppae /M:ALL Windows XP PAE Patcher 3.0 by daniel_k | HAL patches by <Mov AX, 0xDEAD> PAE will be enabled using all available RAM. Patching ntkrnlpa.exe (Uniprocessor PAE Kernel)... OK!

No, this is not simple to compare - too big differences :-( Probably ntkl64g.exe is compiled from source code.
org vs v35 differ only in 11 bytes:

How the other patch does it without having that specified is impressive!
This is not impressive - simply this is patched ntkrpamp.exe for multi CPU/multi core use:
Modern computers have multi-core processors and the use of RAM patch on old PC does not make sense because old computers with a single-core processor do not support a large amount of RAM and a patch is not needed.
Therefore, the 64G patch does not contain other kernal and hal files.

I make big tests:
- using Macrium Reflect clone OS to other HDD - still problem
- replace RAM modules - still problem
- use only 2GB RAM 1+1 - still problem
-
using Macrium Reflect make disk image, then restore on other PC - Haswell 8GB RAM (4+4 Dual Channel), OS boot, find new devices, I install drivers. I test and it looks like there is no problem and WinXPPAE 3.5 works well :-)
I use exactly same patched files and settings: ntkrnl2.exe SP2 5.1.2600.2180 + hal2.dll SP3 5.1.2600.5512, noexecute=optin
I have to use the system for some time to make sure 100% that there is no problem.
It seems that the problem is only on SandyBridge machines.

With regards to not having to use the /PAE switch because "noexecute=optin is enough". That is not correct.
No. /PAE switch load Ntkrnlpa.exe I use only like this and PAE works:
/noexecute=optin /fastdetect /kernel=ntkrnl2.exe /hal=hal2.dll
Windows automatically enables PAE if DEP is enabled on a computer that supports hardware-enabled DEP
You need use /NOPAE because default (optin) is enabled:

reboot12 has not indicated which kernel and HAL file versions
Yea, I use SP2:
- ntkrnl2.exe SP2 5.1.2600.2180 (patched by WinXPPAE 3.5 on SP2 OS) + hal2.dll SP3 5.1.2600.5512 (patched by WinXPPAE 3.5 on SP3 OS because the patcher cannot patches the hal.dll SP2 version)
- ntkrnl3.exe SP3 5.1.2600.5512 + hal3.dll SP3 5.1.2600.5512 - both patched by WinXPPAE 3.5 on SP3 OS
- ntkl64g.exe SP3 5.1.2600.6368 + hal64g.dll SP3 5.1.2600.5512 - files from @Dave-H 64 GB of RAM patch.zip
I test (for a short time) my XP SP2 on other machines and probably no lag issue but this is fresh installed OS - no any drivers, apps.
- maybe lag issue is only on my SandyBridge machine
- recently I changed 2x4GB RAM - maybe they cause the problem?
- my OS has all drivers and many applications installed - maybe some application or driver works badly with a RAM patcher?
I have to test the patch for a long time on other computers + all drivers installed.
boot.ini
[boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="RAM v3.5" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /kernel=ntkrnl2.exe /hal=hal2.dll multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="WinXP" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
This is my table when DEP/PAE works on WinXP SP2 depending on the setting of the noexecute option in boot.ini
So, I do not have to use boot.ini switch /PAE because noexecute=optin is enough.

To my amazement, at least on my system, it seems to have worked perfectly!I use the WinXPPAE 3.5 patch for a week and I noticed a problem with disk operations - the same is for the 64G version:

Windows Boot Manager 5472 test:
https://github.com/FlyGoat/CSMWrap/issues/39#issuecomment-30145049460 -
I spent a bigger half day today testing XP32 with iGPU and I have good news. XP runs best with iGPU (Haswell) on vbemp.sys (PNP) 2015 driver in co-op with my UefiSeven (u7nwbm.efi + UefiSeven.ini with set native resolution of monitor) and Longhorn 5472 bootmgr+BCD+winload.exe loader - iGPU need be set as Primary Display in bios
-
XP can be run in the native resolution of the monitor - it depends on the monitor connected and the cable used (probably also on the EDID), the aurora boot screen is badly displayed when the resolution is native but the XP desktop works fine
- you can change the available resolutions - if the resolution is lower than the native one, the desktop is displayed from the top right corner without cleaning the screen - the previous content remains on the screen
- original XP vga.sys driver works badly with UefiSeven, there are some resolutions to choose from display settings but trying to change it restarts XP
I boot XP in this way: in bios CSM Disabled (pure UEFI) > PC boot UEFI Shell from FAT32 100MB from EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi > startup.nsh starts UefiSeven and CSMWrap 1.2.1 (in UefiSeven.ini file native resolution monitor is set)
NOTE: During installation of the vbemp driver, the system reboots but after the reboot it already starts on the vbemp driver at 640x480 and you can change the resolution to another e.g. native (if UefiSeven was previously running at this resolution)
My monitor native resolution is 1360x768 but I test also other monitors native 1920x1080 and native 2560x1440 - see screenshots at bottom.
UefiSeven.ini

If we run the XP without UefiSeven then OS boot in 1024x768 and there are only 3 resolutions available (no native):

I still do not understand,
why now you get the latest Source files from csmwrap.efi .
Is it, because you connect now to another server via
No, they probably already corrected the repository and now git clones the latest version :-)

OK, git corrected and now downloads the current version
This is full tutorial how compile CSMWrap:
Download and install Ubuntu: https://releases.ubuntu.com/noble/ubuntu-24.04.2-live-server-amd64.iso
During installation, select Install OpenSSH server - this makes it easy to copy files from Ubuntu to Windows using WinSCP and use Ubuntu over SSH e.g. in Putty
sudo passwd root (enter password for user)
sudo passwd root (make new password for root)
sudo login root or reboot and login using root
nano /etc/ssh/sshd_configPermitRootLogin yes
PasswordAuthentication yesCtrl+o to save and Ctrl+x to exit
service ssh restart
apt update
apt install -y build-essential nasm curl xxd net-toolsgit clone https://github.com/FlyGoat/CSMWrap.git --recursive
cd CSMWrap
make seabios
makeifconfig - to check IP
using WinSCP make connection and connect to Ubuntu:New Site, File protocol: SCP, Host name: IP, root User name and Password, Save

For uefiseven I suggest to rename "csmwrap.efi" to "u7.original.efi" for chainload.
Or write a shell script.No, chainload not work:
UefiMain Found Windows Boot Manager at '\u7.original.efi' Launch Loaded 'PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1F,0x2)/Sata(0x4,0xFFFF,0x0)/HD(1,MBR,0xD5AED5AE,0x800,0x32000)/\u7.original.efi' Launch Addresss behind FileImageHandle=C1B43718 Launch File does not match an EFI loader signature
but I fix and compile special version U7 no load Windows Boot Manager
- use verbose=1 in UefiSeven.ini to display this info on screen:
but CSMWrap replace C0000 memory using VBIOS PCIe or SeaVGABIOS. I wonder if you compile a special version of CSMWrap that doesn't change anything in memory under C0000 and if Windows would boot into the vga.sys driver ?

Do you have an idea, how to come back to the UEFI shell,
after using u7.efi
Simply not use u7.original.efi file - after u7 start set resolution and put fake int10 in C0000 memory but display error than not found u7.original.efi and after press Enter go back to shell:
FileExists Unable to open file '\u7.original.efi' for reading (error: Not Found) UefiMain Could not find Windows Boot Manager at '\u7.original.efi' UefiMain Press Enter to continue.

For new iGPU no drivers for xp then this is best way to use xp on modern desktop compi (for Haswell I have xp drivers so that's why I use the Multi-Monitor option)
The iGPU cannot be set as the Primary Display in the bios because then CSMWrap will load SeaVGABIOS and you can't install a graphics driver on it
0 -
To display the image on the monitor WinXP does not care what is in memory under C0000 if the graphics card manufacturer's driver is installed.
- Asus B85 with two graphics cards: iGPU Haswell (has legacy & GOP but this is not important), PCIe AMD6450 (has both legacy & GOP and this is very important)
- in bios settings CSM Disabled. Primary Display PCIE because CSMWrap can use VBIOS this card for xp32 on vga.sys if use ntldr loader. Multi-monitor Enabled for xp32 see both in Device Manager
What I did:
- boot PC in pure UEFI 64-bit to UEFI Shell > run CSMWrap 64-bit 1.2.1 > SeaBIOS boot xp from HDD using ntldr
- install AMD graphics driver
- reboot
- install Haswell graphics driver
- reboot
- now possible use any loader ntldr or bootmgr to boot xp - in xp display settings I set Primary display iGPU to make this pictures:
I make boot.bmp 640x480 4-bit logo and put in WINDOWS folder, then add to boot.ini switch /bootlogo /noguiboot - thank to this on screen stay this logo after xp boot if you use ntldr loader.
If the bootmgr loader is used, the aurora logo from winload.exe is left on the screen.
On both card I have 3D acceleration :-) and possible change primary monitor or enable extend desktop. In C0000 memory is always VBIOS from PCIe card
