MERCURY127

Hello! I many times try run my usb wifi dongle in 9x, and now, after four years owning this device, i can say - it work! u can look on my screenshots: in this post i want say, how u can do it for our devices... post will periodically updating. ===== what need having for experiments: WDMEX from rloew. i am sorrry, but w/o this u need yourself implement one stupid function - NdisInitializeString. W/o this function driver RT2870.SYS (and many other drivers for 2k/xp) is just not starting - we see error code 2 or 10 in DM. So i assume, that u have implementation of NdisInitializeString. if so, can continue. one NdisInitializeString is not enuogh. driver req some other imports, which i can close old good WDMSTUB. after this, i check in debugger, that driver loaded w/o errors, and try using it with help Odyssey, but w/o good results. adapter was present in DM, but not present in Network Properties. then i try ME, and immediately get results! i connect to my router and can out in Internet. but on 98 it not work. Sweetlow say me, that support NDIS5 in 9x is poor, and recommend use NDIS3. i try, and all success. here i attach my work inf file for Ralink driver version 3.01.08.0000 date 27.Dec.2010. this driver work with Odyssey 4.52 and WPA2 AES. Most new version 5.01.25.0 from official site can not connect... this inf req UR work. U MUST manually add into VID/PID for our device! DWA140.INF

yes, i use hiew more than 12 years, as main viewer anywhere (dos and win)... its fantastic tool for seek and hack in-place, but not more.

i also make disassembled code... if its can help us - can upload, but i sure not that its legal on this forum...

This is real pdb directly from ms symbols server

try it hdaudbus.pdb.zip

Oh s***... 8192 driver (generic for 81xx) also req NdisInitializeString... just as my dongle 2870/5370... why they so love this stupid f... function??? not implemented wdmstub.

yes, i know. its not error. i want try run 2k drivers... if you do not try, then nothing new is discovered. but if try - so at least some sort of hope. RTL8187 (and RT2680) - not USB devices, mostly mPCI/PCIe. I have no slots to insert them...

possble in XP DDK? or VS 2005? ====- i run Wifi (with my usb dongle, based on RT5370) with Odyssey Client Manager! 150 Mbps WPA2/AES mode. ] and also install VBEMP NT version. look and work perfectly. but IE6 + 2K is absolutely non-suitable for MSFN, Google, and even Yandex... Good look only Ru-Board - its open normally even on 98SE with IE5 and IE3/ Opera 3 on Wfwg... month back i buy on Aliexpress usb wifi based on RTL8188... so as suggest, that it can run on 9x. or no? check, when will delivered...

USB2 now work... mouse ok, even wifi appear in DM. wothout reinstalling system. what i do? nothing, just delete all pnf and oem*.inf files from windir\inf, remove all not workable from DM and do reboot. but files usb*.sys now grabbed FROM XP... and it work. but USB3 and HDG - no.

i run HDA on 2K. dxdiag get clear, nice sound, all good. what i do: install only bus (for sample hdabus98), but not full 888111 - get two new subdevices. here only one is true audio codec, second is HDMI for intel HDG, and really implemented in Intel Display driver (now not work). try install Realtek driver via my hda98.inf - insttallation done, but after say that cant run driver. try install Realtek driver from original folder - insttallation done, say nothing, but driver cant work and and ask reinstall after every reboot. manually copying portclass & sysaudio syses from 888111 folder to system32/drivers (under 7, sure) - realtek work also i try manually replace usb*.sys to XP's files - no changes, nothing good... [strange, i remember, that make screenshots in 2k with fscapture, but now cant find, where its be saved...] found.

uhhh... with this 2k appear many problems with install - i want install it on that fatr32 part, where 98, as i already do on P3 machine. but on Core machine appear strange problems... i kiiled half day and at end install 2k to ssd partition instead my XP. it was so slow, that i shocked... 2k want not turn on DMA mode on SSD, i do it manually... and afetr all i see... i see, that here dont work even ordinal USB2, which do work fine in 98 via NUSB 3.5... here no even mouse! i anyway try install drivers for Etron, Intel HDG 4000, and HDA... nothng of this work... but have one GOOD news my hdabus98 inf work on 2k it install bus and do enumeration... after this appear two new audio subdevices... i try install on one my HDA98.inf (converted inf from realtek's driver), it is installed succesfully but say that cant run some file... after this stupid timekillng i restore boot my 7 and 98 and go here later i will try install original drivers from realtek. sorry for poor speak...

Oh, so baaad... Tomorrow i try install 2k and check all, that can...

i know. i know, that this process can be year long and give no good results. i understand, that ur tool (extender) is very cool and useful. but what i get, if buy ur extender, and after half year or year we get nothing? for sample: i have Tenda usb wifi, based on ralink rt5370 (rt2870? so many chips...), his driver req one unimplemented Ndis*. your extender give me some warranties? no, sure, driver can left unusable. or other sample: Etron USB3. i get xp driver, check this on xp - all good. i slightly modify driver for 9x, chek imports - all need implemented by wdmstub. but driver is not work - error 10, installed only xhci, no hub in subdevices, no enumeration. and what i need do? i even have no BSOD - me did not catch hold here, for to begin debugging... and this without WDMEX. let us then we, for begin, will try to run this usb3, which does not need to buy anything.

yes... it bad news. here is list of functions, exported by wdmstub: in our issue wdmstub implement those MmMapLockedPagesSpecifyCache ExFreePoolWithTag MmGetSystemRoutineAddress KdDebuggerEnabled IoQueueWorkItem IoAllocateWorkItem rest 21 is unimplemented. i can debug with WinIce (SoftIce Win 3x/9x Kernel mode debugger) - i do DMRP (Drive model reading patch) for ESDI 7 years to back. WDMEX as seen is nice, but i have no $21 (uh, one dollar per function?) now. and i absolutelly have no interest for buying something, that after requires my additional work "as a slave in the galley"... yes, i also so think... what is u try hdaudbus.sys from 835211? i see some diffs in bootlog when replace file from 888111 to 835221.

this feature (KS) is exist in 9x? i remember file ks.inf...

yes, this link give some useful info: https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/drivers/audio/high-definition-audio-ddi https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/drivers/audio/hd-audio-bus-driver but i cant find here any source code, only recommendation to use sys provided by MS. in short, here is hints for vendors, how write driver with using ms uaa api.

i stupid... Az* is internal debug strings, not imports... its good. but here no files in my windir\* which export RtlGetVersion. yes, sys used dynamic load, so possible he can work without some imported functions. or no...

yes... good, i try talk with him. i know it. i ask about other - it changes wiil do for WDM model implementation, or also do for USB enumeration, etc? just if enumeration (and adding new bus in DM) implemeted in one of files USB stack's - it good... but if support of new bus always required news patches in kernel files - its very bad... yes, sure, i try even mouse* and hid* from ME... helpful only mouse.drv from win 3x. ===== i now see hdaudbus.sys in binary and found here AzCreateChildDevice, AzEnumerateBus, READ_REGISTER_UCHAR... its first time when i see this. are this functions implemented in our stubs? also i see many unicode calls to ntoskrnl, such so RtlGetVersion. are this all work on 9x? ===== soory for big pic, i think insert link only, but forum self to load pic..

i try run mpxplay one month to back, its not work with my hda instead, in dos good work QV Pro 2.61 (with pci.sdr), but here no hope get sources anyway... also, i have SNAP Audio for DOS, here exist HDABUS.BPD, but again, no hope get sources, moreover, company SciTech died.

aha... good, i will think! but i poor understand reasons, why hey make so...

this mouse nicely work with all other mobos, what i seen in my life... exist good program - Mousemu, it replace mouse via numpad, so i not have high disadvantage from it bug. its driver for codec, he havent relations for UAA bus self, it will install only after UAA. and only for codecs, which already exist at moment release 888111. else it replaced newest driver from Realtek etc. hmm.. any USB/SCSI, no? i knownt, as it all work internally... possible, it do filters? i seek your samples, and found not any special bus in 9x inf. it is ordinal PCI device... or here appear any new subdevice after install it inf? ===== yes, i from forum.ru-board.com ===== if anyone want, can seek my haotic probe hdabus98.inf in attach. this not work as we need, does nothing helpful, but possible give some ideas... here inf only, i think, no need attach all 888111. HDABUS98.INF.ZIP

hello again thanks for understanding and support! yes, four years hot sex with a**-ROCK mobo... begin with Pentium g630 and upgraded later. here no problems with newest OS - 7, xp, linux. but first half year after buying i cant even enter to UEFI, or after 10-20 reboot only... with old good ps2 kbd. its be fixed in ver 2.10 firmware only... also here exist unstable bug if i use uide in dos in real mode only (w/o any emm) - i seen reboots with intense disk operations (filefind etc). on other mobos it bug is not appear! Asrock make cool mobo, if seek from technical side. but with poor software... but i anyway love this mobo. i get power cpu and run it on 4 GHz. USB mouse work... but... seek so if it floats in glycerol or oil (and the stuck button). and it no diff between Legacy mouse support ON/OFF. in short - with DOS, win 3x, os/2, 2k, xp, 7, linux - all ok. alse no problems with ps2 or com mouse. but if i run 9x and turn on usb mouse as usb device in DM - i get glycerol. i think, it interrupt flood, so power, that after a minute of this work the fans are starting to buzz so, as if i run LINPACK... moreover, if Legacy support is on, i get those symptoms even just run 9x SETUP! just in setup gui. but if i replace 9x mouse.drv to file from win 3x (94 year) - problem is disappear. but then dont work wheel about acpi... yes, key /p i also used, but he not enough... it not forced using pnp.vxd, it only recommend to installer. i add in inf these strings [BadACPIBios] ; ACPI BIOS, несовместимые с Windows AsrockZ68Pro3M DellInspiron3500 ; its not my [AsrockZ68Pro3M] AcpiOemId="DMAR","INTEL SNB" not very good variant - break use ACPI on all 1155 mobo, but i want get fast solving ant it work... aha... where i get this WMDEX? yes, i really heard a lot about our Maestro. especially on RLP and Terabyte unlimited. but i hesitate to bother him... yes, it can be. when i try check hdaudbus with wdmcheck - he just crash... without result. i use latest stub from Kernelex... i think, its main error, that me allowed - we attempt use driver for AC97, that is PCI device, but HDA is not pci device. analogy is USB: UAA bus = controller or hub, seat on PCI; but self HDA (ALC892) = usb mouse/kbd/other, and NOT seat on PCI. I do not know why it came up, probably to create new problems for enthusiasts. so attempts try AC97 drivers for HDA are meaningless. none. on my system these files get from NUSB - it XP version. modify can all, but with different complexity... i want ask - here is seriously diifs with enumerating devices between 9x and nt kernel? where save device tree - in registry, or he generate dynamically? what ms add USB support into 95 OSR2? he make heavy changes in kernel for it? Thank you for attention!

Hello to all! My name is Andrey. It's my first post here. I am sorry, my English is poor, but I hope that you can understand me. My native language is Russian, if here is someone, who can r/w in Russian - weIcome. I have relatively modern main pc - i7 3770, asrock z68 pro3-m, 8 gb ddr3, ssd, hdd, dvd... Main OS is w7 x64, but i also use xp, linux, and 98 all in multiboot on one hdd. here i have no problems anyway. My 98 is heavy patched: vbemp, vcache, some other good known here patches. also i do own patch for biosinfo.inf for disabling acpi - my mobo have buggy bios, and without patch i just get black screen. Also here exist biggest bug with USB mouse - she absolutely unusable with 9x... But in general, system is stable and relatively workable. i can even run daum pot player and see mp4 hd with software only decoding, sure. i do it just for fun. Me it interesting, understand? And i have one problem... Here is no sound! I try use my old cs4281 pci card - and get poor sounds on this machine. most sounds disappeared total. On my second machine - pentium 3 - it card work better, but anyway poor. Also for p3 i have good sounds with cs4235 and ess1869. And now i want try run HDA in 9x... Not need talk me, that it's impossible - i know it but want try. I check realtek's sys with wdmcheck - there no unimplemented imports. But it driver must be install on child device from hda bus... I grab w2k version KB888111, convert it's inf from unicode to ordinal Chicago format, and get ms uaa bus placeholder in device manager. but without child subdevices - hdaudbus.sys will not runned... I try add to inf pair strings a la Hkr,,devloader,,*ntkern Hkr,driver,,"wdmstub,hdaudbus.sys" And get error code 2. Then i try configmg instead ntkern, and get no errors and no good result... I poor know inf script possibilities, and me need someone, who have good knowledge here, and can give me some hints and tips... Hope for understanding and your interest
