    What's so special about the server list in that Reddit config.vdf? I compared my current one to it and I compiled them column to column in Excel. steamdiff.txt

    Asmedia controllers work fine in XP. Use Driver 1.16.32.1

    Yes, flash is excellent in Firefox. I still use Flash for Youtube. But I'm referring to canvas acceleration. That benchmark I posted used to get 60+ FPS on old Firefox versions... They disabled DirectX9 support on some version. Would be great if it could be re-enabled in XP. Surprising no one has brought this up.

    Firefox used to have good hardware acceleration in XP... A year or two after it was introduced in version 28 or so, they disabled it. Chrome did the same thing, but there are hacks to re-enable it on later versions. It has to do with some of the DLLs removing support for DirectX9. I believe this hack can be ported to Firefox, though I asked the author about it it (svyatpro) and he was only successful with Chrome. A good proof of concept is the HWACCEL test: HWACCEL.zip (maybe someone can upload it to the forum for posterity, it's over 2MB). The reason I bring this up is because of the planned obsolescence talk, with developers intentionally removing support for older operating systems... Firefox did this too back in the day. Soon these developers will force people to use Windows 8.1 or Windows 10... ***shudder***

    NOD32 8.0.319.0 It's absolutely a dream on XP64. I will have to put together an instruction readme though, because there are some things you want to do after installing to get it running smoothly. Very little overhead and no quirks like staying resident ad infinitum on a USB stick and not letting eject like MSE. If you're interested, let me know. Was using AVAST before this before they killed it on XP x64, and NOD32 was well worh the 5 dollars or so for the 3 year subscription (eBay).

    Two things: 1) Your screenshot shows 1.16.51.1, but the sys file you attached is 1.16.38.1, and you also omitted the INF 2) Can you please provide the full device ID for your chip? I've been using a 3.0 on XP with 1.16.32.1 for a while and it's been working well. The Asmedia ROM is also very important. Just be warned that if you start playing around with the motherboard BIOS in order to modify the ROM, you could brick your board. In my case it's a discrete PCIe card. For some reason they don't make 3.1 cards with internal headers. PCIe x4 would also be nice for a 3.1 version. Oh well.

    Here is the latest one: https://o.rths.cf/boc-uxp/mailnews.win32-20181201-9c5ff06-uxp-d7bb17571-xpmod.7z Thanks again roytam1. I'm going to test it now.

    Here's another vote for an XP port of Interlink. Thanks for your hard work roytam1.

    The way I understand it, and as has been mentioned in the past, will XP releases of your custom builds include security updates in the future now that Mozilla has ended 52.9.0 and are supposedly no longer coding them in their XP codebase? Can you also please add this information into the FAQ? Thanks
