Run the included registry file that's only in the "For KernelEx" folder. Running the file applies adding a few dll's to KernelEx's known library of dll's. I am testing my own system and every file appears to be working. No errors or issues have popped up.

Perfect timing! I just compiled a zip containing the updates. Do you mind testing for me?

What could I do to allow Windows 9x to launch MPC-HC 1.7.5 like demosh reported to do so? I've installed the recommended updates, updated dll's by jumper, and tried add functions stubs to my copy of Kstub822, but the thing isn't launching. https://imgur.com/a/pbSFaDe

After installing all the available updates, KernelEx Auxiliary DLL Updates, stubs, and recommended updates, I noticed versions of MPC-HC don't have a glitchy file menu anymore. It slides down smoothy, but still no video. Windows XP SP3 still breaks the media player as before. Attempting to launch 1.6 portable (with enhanced bases) gives an error that MPC-HC.EXE is linked to missing export KERNEL32.DLL:VerSetConditionMask. Also, ImportPatcher gives me this list Looking around the text file, I found the function present in the KEXBAS~2 file, but not int he KEXBAS~1 file. I assume both are representative of kexbasen and kexbases in the CORE.ini file? I hope this function isn't hard to stub. Also, I noticed the KernelEx bases contains a line mentioning "Kstub824." Where is that supposed to be from? An unreleased kxstub package? mpc-h#.log

Which version of the file do I obtain? EDIT: After searching the internet and updating my installation, I created a easier update folder. Just copy contents to system32 in main folder and anything else in the KernelEx folder into Windows' kernelex folder. Then apply registry. EDIT2: Need to fix something, a DLL is not registering to the registry...

Oh, thank you so much for correcting me. I didn't realize my error until I searched up the version again! I am amazed 3.1.2 portable apparently works, but earlier versions are glitchy? I do not think the KernelEx stubs I put in the KernelEx folder have any effect on compatibility. I could not get the stubs working with the command (for K452stub) jumper provided.

I personally use Haihaisoft PDF Reader. It's not glitchy like Samutra (1.2 and later) with the settings I used. I just tried opening version 3.1.2 with the KernelEx stubs, without success. I get the message "D2D1.DLL" is not found. Edit: it looks like adding the stub files might have broken something. KernelEx would not set compatibility modes again until I restored the original core.ini file without the stubs.

I am using the latest 24 updates and registered MSVCP90.DLL and MSVCR90.DLL to my known KernelEx DLL's. I also have the unofficial 2008 runtime installed and replaced the stock uxtheme.dll in the KernelEx folder with another one provided by jumper. I did not yet added the MSVCR70.DLL file or KEXT stubs. When I tried to test MPC-HC later than version 1.5 (even 1.5.2), the video would not play in any of them.

I tried downgrading multiple versions. Version 1.7 does not launch regardless of which mode I choose. 1.6.8 launches (XP SP3 mode only), but does not appear to work. The unofficial Visual C++ 2008 is what allows version 1.5 w/ the latest KernelEx updates to run. But 1.6.8 and later are built off visual studio 2010...and KernelEx's limit is when Qt 4 starts having 100 in its dll's instead of 90. The image below IS playing video in MPC-HC in 1.5, but faststone screen capture cannot capture the video playing itself. Also, attempting to set compatibility later than XP SP3 results in an error. There is a beep, but the program does not actually launch. Furthermore, it appears SlimBoat is very close to working. It's Qt-based and I found a version using the 90 dll's. But the message "DBGHELP.DLL" causes the program to close.

Okay, I tried testing the latest version of MPC-HC (portable) with after replacing the uxtheme.dll file with the one here. I now get this error. It's going forward because it's launching, but just won't function.

Try running roytam1's build of TCPMP Player on Windows NT 4.0. He's fixed the compatibility issue with 95.

Hello MSFN, To challenge myself in coding, I am trying to make a simple C++ based installer for diyba's ram patch. I know there are better out there, but this is mainly for me to apply C++ (I do not know any other coding languages besides a tiny bit of java). So far, things were going OK, until I changed Visual Studio 2019's tools to a Windows XP-compatible tool. Now, I have a syntax error mentioning something cannot be converted. I am quite confused and am wondering if I should just use another IDE or something. https://github.com/JiaoTongNan/Windows-XP-Ram-Patch-Attempt I am a complete newbie to coding.

With the latest KernelEx updates and updating mscvr90.dll and mscvrp90.dll, you can use coolreader3. SamutraPDF 2.2.1 was already reported to work, but the layout will not change in settings. It remembers your books last read though.

Which program is this? This sounds like something on my 9x list. Please name the exact program, so I can remove it.

How do I solve the issue then? Am I supposed to use a .dll from Whistler or ReactOS then? When I checked kernelex, it includes the uxtheme.dll file, but is it the same one as mentioned on the KernelEx Auxiliary topic? Once this is fixed, maybe even the last version of MP-HC will work.

I tried downgrading to Zoom Player 12.5 from 14.5, but installing the last version of VSFilter for Windows 98/ME and LAV does nothing... I get a runtime error if I attempt to play videos without enabling KernelEx as well. EDIT: Installing LAV 0.66.0.10 on Windows XP SP3 mode fixed it! I had to set Zoom Player 12.5 to "Base enhancements," too. I'm not completely sure whether changing the compatibility mode to Base Enhancements was the issue in the first place or not. MPC-HC 1.5 also works amazing now thanks to setting compatibility mode to Base Enhancements. VLC 2.0.5 also experienced a similar thing; setting the compatibility mode to Base Enhancements instead of XP fixes a lot of issues.

Which version of LAV and VSFilter?

Along with a Windows XP list, I've been in the progress of making a list for Windows 2000 and 98/ME w/ KernelEx https://retrosystemsrevival.blogspot.com/p/list-of-working-windows-98me-kernelex.html But, this list and the 2000 list are still considered incomplete by me (in obtaining working software reported on MSFN), so it's only accessible by link here for now.

Windows 9x is so limited for MP4 rendering... I've seen older posts mentioning Media Player Classic-HC working. Version 1.5.0.2827 launches beautifully, but the MP4 doesn't work at all. What could the problem be? The application launches with Windows XP SP2 and SP3 setting, but not Windows Vista. For me, installing the ACE Mega CoDecS Pack fixed my problem with MP4 and AAC3 audio on Gom Player and enabled just the sound on Zoom player. But, MPC-HC is uneffected. I believe I've used much older versions (1.2) and found the video still does not play. Also, MPC-HC 1.7.9 installs on Windows 9x, but will not launch due to missing export UXTHEME.DLL:61. The same error happens on MP-HC 1.6 as well. These later versions require Windows XP SP3 or later.

I'm having trouble with Gom Player 2.1.33.5071. I've installed multiple codecs (K-Lite 5.71, and cole2k media), but will not play AC3 audio of my MP4 file. Why is this an issue? VLC, Haali Universal Player, and TCPMP player can do it. Did installing multiple codec packs screw things up or something?

There are still lots of media players we gotta find the final versions of: ALLPlayer FinalPlayer ZoomPlayer SMPlayer KMPlayer Pot Player BSPlayer and a bunch more... Also, I tried updating the main list and creating a new one here: https://retrosystemsrevival.blogspot.com/p/latest-versions-of-software-working-on.html This one is also a big WIP. I'm still trying to get the software on this thread.

I've seen a couple fellow members post about streaming youtube on even a Windows 95 machine with a capable media player. How can this exactly be done? TCPMP is apparently capable of streaming youtube on Windows 95.

I do not want to start another topic because I believe it's probably more appropriate just to mention it here. Is there a wifi client manager available for Windows NT 4.0? The biggest flaw with old version of windows is the lack of utility to manage wireless cards. I have not tried Linux WPA/WPA2/IEEE 802.1X Supplicant yet on NT 4.0 or Windows 2000. I recall attempting to use it with Windows ME, and it failed there.

Are all these the final working versions?

Alright, I spent about 2 (maybe 3?) hours trying to make a proper list consisting of the final versions of software working on Windows XP. I put a list on my blog. The list is a total work-in-progress; I got lots of labels to fix along with organization. I think a few items (coding-related thingies) may not be in the correct category and a few items were also put in the "other" section, so I will organize some of those later. Give feedback and let me know if anything is off!
