  1. This is a conversation he had with somebody else on Discord, @Ximonite K4Sum1 then told me that it might be able to work soon. Maybe we are closer to getting this working? I'll keep updating as any new info trickles in. @D.Draker
  2. He is actually from the United States. I'll forward him the stuff you mentioned here through Discord.
  3. I've actually fallen off this due to other stuff, although me and K4Sum1 have talked about this within the last week. We've tried some of the earliest drivers to support my hardware to no avail so far. Here's what K4Sum1 sent me via Discord: !!Assume x64 unless x86 is specified!! !!Some files might need 7 x86 mfplat, this won't be listed!! !!Some files require msvcr110.dll and difxapi.dll, but this could be from something I don't have installed!! atieclxx.exe & dsemanager.exe - user32.dll - SetDisplayConfig dgtrayicon.exe - user32.dll - IsImmersiveProcess amdh264enc32.dll & amdh265enc32.dll & amf-mft-mjpeg-decoder32.dll - kernel32.dll (x86) - K32GetProcessImageFileNameW amdhdl32.dll - kernel32.dll (x86) - GetCurrentPackageId amdhdl64.dll - kernel32.dll - GetCurrentPackageId amdlvr32.dll - user32.dll (x86) - DisplayConfigGetDeviceInfo, QueryDisplayConfig, GetDisplayConfigBufferSizes amdmantle32.dll & amdvlk32.dll - user32.dll (x86) - DisplayConfigGetDeviceInfo, QueryDisplayConfig amdmiracast.dll - gdi32.dll - D3DKMTOpenAdapterFromLuid atiadlxy.dll - user32.dll (x86) - DisplayConfigGetDeviceInfo, DisplayConfigSetDeviceInfo atiumd6a.dll - powerprof.dll - PowerSettingUnregisterNotification, PowerSettingRegisterNotification atiumdva.dll - powerprof.dll (x86) - PowerSettingUnregisterNotification, PowerSettingRegisterNotification amdacpksd.sys - ntoskrnl.exe - strcat_s, sprintf_s atikmdag.sys - ntoskrnl.exe - sprintf_s, RtlDowncaseUnicodeChar So, based on this, all this stuff would have to be added. This was taken from 16.7.1 with the Extended Kernel installed on K4Sum1's rig.
  4. I have a friend on Discord who wants to know if getting the Nvidia 411.63 graphics driver working is possible. His name is K4Sum1 and I don't think he is registered here.
  5. https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/request-generic-nvme-driver-for-windows-vista-server-2008/37256/15 You may try this driver. As for AMD Ryzen, I do not have one, so any drivers for that would be up to you or someone else, and idk if Ryzen Graphics drivers include a blank, 6.0 section like Radeon/Stoney Ridge graphics.. Plus, there is that USB3 issue that causes BSOD's on occasion, although the Haswell+ problem is not a factor. Thus, it would seem AMD Radeon platforms like R4, which came bundled with such laptops as Acer Aspire A315-21 (2019 and earlier) would be the more stable choice as I've yet to run into any issues that are of the scale of Haswell bug and Ryzen BSOD. Nvidia will also work, but idk if there are any issues in relation to newer Nvidia's.
  6. If anyone is interested in Windows Vista on AMD Radeon platforms like Stoney Ridge, please check out this thread: I'm currently investigating the graphics driver for this platform to see how it can be ported to Vista. It does have a 6.0 section, so I'm hopeful this isn't too hard to do. If anyone wants to controbute anything useful to my project, feel free! Also note, Extended Kernel should not be needed for this.
  7. Unfortunately, simply changing the version from 6.1 to 6.0 within the .sys file and the .inf was not enough. I'm gonna open up the .sys within Dependency Walker and see what is up. And maybe @win32 has some advice here? Like D.Draker has said, these shouldn't be too hard to mod. It still is very weird that they left a 6.0 section in even though these drivers don't officially support Vista.
  8. I hope not. Thanks for digging these out. I'll take a look at these and see what is up.
  9. @D.Draker I think these two articles would be great reads: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excavator_(microarchitecture) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Accelerated_Processing_Unit#Excavator_architecture_(2016):_Bristol_Ridge_and_Stoney_Ridge Says the Stoney Ridge model debuted in 2015, which is the year AMD cut XP/Vista support. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find the very first driver AMD released for this model in 2015, but I'll keep looking. If I can find this, it might do better at getting Vista (and possibly even XP) working on the Stoney Ridge platform, which was available until at least 2019, possibly until 2021.
  10. I opened the exe and it threw the error. I did. It threw the same Code39 error. Maybe an older version of the driver (like the first one for Stoney Ridge) will work better. Who knows.
  11. I disabled driver signature enforcement and same code 39 error. Opening the setup.exe produces a "The procedure entry point ChangeWindowMessageFilterEx could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll" error. Not sure if Extended Kernel has that function.
  12. Interesting. I will do that. I did try to install by changing 0006 and 0001 to 0006 and 0000 and by adding in the hardware/device ID's to the Vista section, but I got Code 39. I did not disable driver signature enforcement, but I do not think that would make a difference. I'll try Dependency Walker later to see what it picks up.
  13. I sure did! About to install Vista on the laptop so I can check it.
  14. I found it with CFF Explorer. I changed the references to 0006 and 0001 to 0006 and 0000. Gonna see what this does. If nothing, I'll check with Dependency Walker.
  15. Not yet, but I'll download CFF Explorer and check it out. The card works with Vista, but the drivers do not (despite the 6.0 section). You know how to find the version number (e.g. 6.1) in the driver .sys file via hex editor? I tried finding 01 76 and found it, but it wasn't right and I do not know how 6.1 would be interpreted in hex so any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
  16. Inspired by @D.Draker's success with getting newer Nvidia drivers to work with Windows Vista, I was wondering if it would be possible to get some newer AMD graphics drivers to work, say, the Radeon R4 98E4 Stoney Ridge and related cards that use the same driver. This has a 6.1 and a 6.3 section that is filled in of course, but at the very bottom, it has a blank 6.0 section. Given that is there, it can't be too much work to hack work it onto Vista, right? My AMD laptop that can run Vista is an Acer Aspire A315-21 with Radeon R4 Stoney Ridge 98E4 from 2019. You can find the graphics driver I use for it here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/os5w3p1fb3ali8o/Win7-Radeon-Software-Adrenalin-2020-Edition-20.4.2-May25.zip/file I know there is newer that still has the 6.0 section, but those invert the color in a game I play when the game is in full screen (non-full screen is fine) while these do not. It will be interesting to see if these can be leveraged to work on Vista. If so, it would open up the Vista compatibility door wide-open here. I should note the problems that plague Haswell+ and Ryzen do not happen here and I've recorded no problems from what I could gather in my test. If anyone testing Vista on this or related AMD Radeons like Stoney Ridge notices any problems I may have missed, please do post them here for me and other users. October 17th, 2022: BREAKING NEWS: We may be one step closer to getting newer AMD Radeon graphics drivers such as for Stoney Ridge working with Windows Vista under Extended Kernel. Please stay tuned for more information on this as it comes in. October 18th, 2022: BREAKING NEWS; A huge development has been reported! This just broke the Vista compatibility vault wide-opened! Unfortunately, it will be a bit before this is available to everybody. To learn more, go here: https://imgur.com/gallery/nGsYopn October 22nd, 2022: I'm refocusing this thread to just AMD Ryzen from here on out. I do not have one, so I won't be participating as much, if at all in this iteration of the thread. If you have a modern Ryzen and want to try to get its graphics driver to work with Vista, then be my guest. Keep in mind, Ryzen dos have issues with Vista. These are different from the Haswell+ issues and I believe are related to the USB drivers (feel free to correct if wrong). Here's my new thread linked to below.
  17. Try the steps here please: http://windowsenthusiasts1.epizy.com/Windows2000SandyBridge.html As for IDT Audio, I don't think the Realtek audio driver would work. Someone such as @blackwingcat would need to take a look at the IDT audio files for Windows XP and determine how to backport it to W2k (Maybe @win32 know something too).
  18. Sorry for bumping this, but outlook email addresses (e.g. someone@outlook.com) do not work. I tried to change my account email to an outlook email, but nothing came in, not even to my junk box. I switched back to Gmail and it came in instantly (trying to declutter my Gmail a bit by moving some mails to Outlook). Other activation mails from other forums came in fine. Thanks in advanced for your help!
  19. Oh, so even if I modify its .sys in a hex editor (to change the version from 7600 to 6003), it still wouldn't work? Seems weird AMD left a blank 6.0 section in the INF.
  20. Does anyone know if it is possible to get the AMD Radeon R4 Stoney Ridge to work with Vista? It does have a 6.0 section, so I was wondering if anyone knows of a way.
  21. Dolphin, the GameCube emulator is dropping Windows 7 support. The current beta, released a month ago is the last to feature 7 support. Get it here: https://dl.dolphin-emu.org/builds/51/be/dolphin-master-5.0-16380-x64.7z
  22. I'm grateful for the research into Nvidia drivers, but unfortunately, the newest Nvidia I have is from 2009 and has Vista support I would, however, be happy to test out any mods for Intel Skylake and AMD Radeon R4 Stoney Ridge. I just procured an Acer Spin 5 SP513-51 with it Tuesday. Only thing is I'm not sure if NVMe support was modded to Vista. I also have an 11th Gen Tiger Lake, but for whatever reason Windows 7 doesn't even load despite using an ACPI.sys patch designed for it that strangely allows Windows 8.0 to load. I also have a Celeron N3050, but I'd have to WindowsToGo Vista due to lack of eMMC driver support and all of the makers of the unofficial WindowsToGo feature such as Rufus and Aoemi do not support Vista.
