    I don't think you understand the complexity of such a thing, besides that, I also don't think that win32 is going to let us down in the near future

    Theoretically, Windows Vista Extended Kernel is OpenSource, Win32 uploaded it to github. So, if he can't continue the development, maybe another person could take his place, or use it to create an Extended Kernel for Windows 8+

    The October 2020 version works if it is set to "big picture" mode. You will see store information and everything. But sometime after that, the login window switched to being rendered by CEF (Chromium) so it is not possible to sign in as there is no text, graphics or buttons on the login screen now.

    As for the Intel drivers, I have a couple of systems that can use them but they are in very poor shape. Various differences in rendering quality are known to exist between Vista and 7 and I don't want Vista to be compromised by any changes I do. So I'll try to do something that doesn't "change" Vista to its detriment.

    Also, the Vista extended kernel will be able to run Chromium 110 and 111, at least with --no-sandbox. I will try to get the sandbox working in time for the main release of Chromium 110 in February. I am adding the appropriate functions to kernel32 and userenv.

    I just checked the Chromium source code and discovered that the version nags are persistent now because they are not calling GetVersionEx* or similar to check the version, but they are checking the version number of kernel32 instead.

    I don't know too much about this, but I'm having issues with 32 bit apps which use OpenSSL 32 bit libs compiled with VS19+. Maybe you can check it. An example of that is Lynx browser, it sometimes don't connect or tells something regarding the certificates. But it also depends on the application which you use. Maybe these electron apps use such OpenSSL libraries?

    @Sergiaws : Besides being OT for this thread ;), you chose the wrong "share" code from imgur; should've been "BBCode (Forums)", not "Embed in HTML" :( ...

    Sorry, I made a mistake. I posted this here, cause I thought it could be helpful for developers who make extended kernels and such things. If someone would backport something to Windows Vista/7/8.1 (something that requires Win10) it should be easier to start from 1507 (2015) instead of 22h2/21h2 (2022/2021). Both versions of Windows 10 are really diferent despite of the name.

  4. I noticed that chrome 111 still works on windows 10 1507, no need for -no-sandbox trick there.

  5. I'm wondering what methods can I use to create a web player that could run with Netscape/Firefox 2.x and similar browsers. Initially don't want to use Flash since it would require Javascript to add accessibility stuff, and there's not a lot of documentation regarding Flash and accessibility. I want that the browser could play multimedia in Windows 9x platforms. What can I do to achieve that? Pd. Html5 audio/video is not a switable solution unless there are a polifill since Firefox 2.x don't support that tag.

  6. It's true that Suspension is not working in Vista x64, but as an alternative it is possible to enable ibernation. Moreover, there's no 32 bit Extended Kernel for Vista,. Regarding 32 bit Windows, if I need to choose a 32 bit version I never will choose anything newer than XP. I really consider XP 32 bit much better than Vista or newer 32 bit Windows. Regarding 64 bit Windows, XP is a good choice, if you have good luck finding good drivers.

  7. I'm not sure that downgrading the drivers will solve the issue, cause that issue was pressent even when I installed the system and started it for the first time. Somewhere I read that Windows 8.1 uses a lot of battery when the graphic driver is not pressent, but is difficult to find/mod one since some of the drivers are for Win7 and some for Win10. In both cases the setup tell that the driver is not applicable/incompatible. The processor is an Amd Rizen 7 and the Graphic Card is a NVIDIA GTX 1650 TI, but I lived in Windows Vista on my older computer without proper graphic drivers (Intel HD 4000), and I could use the system without any important issue.

    java 17 worked even before this release, tho i can't remember if it was 32 bit

    Java 17 (64 bit) worked fine in previous releases, and 32 bit is the first time that I test. And that 32 bit jdk is not provided by Oracle, is the zulu version. The requirements of that jdk says Server 2012 or higher, but it might work in Windows 7 too.

    Unfortunately Steam does not yet. The 32 bit configuration is still undesireable and needs to be redone.

    Were any patches done to XP's acpi.sys for your hardware to work with XP?

    LibreWolf does not start for me either. I will check it,

    For XP probably not, it's a more modern computer so I wouldn't expect XP to work. Just know that there are an ACPI.sys for Windows 7 that might work. There's even the procedure to modify it, but I'm not sure if the procedure can be applied to Vista's ACPI.sys, and don't know a lot about editing such files to modify these lines.

  10. PHP 8.1.2 working! Didn't tested newer PHP versions, but when I run XAMPP Apache now don't crash, and puting a php file with the phpinfo function at least work fine. I think there are still missing some 32 bits functions, maybe fixing them could we get Skype Client and similar PWA's with 32 bit only support. Here is brave x86 as an example of this.

    brave.exe - Entry Point Not Found  The procedure entry point GetThreadGroupAffinity could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.

    And, another thing, Python 3.7+ x86 apps, would work or could be done something for these apps? As I remember, in a previous release (released before 2022's summer) NVDA 2022.1 partially worked, just remote_helper crashed so it couldn't read properly html documents and web pages. It also required Win7SuperVerFix spoofing and also build number. I'll also test Zulu JDK 13 or 17 x86 and check if it work, it would be required for Java Access Bridge in modern JDK.

    Regarding hardware support, I just expect a modified Acpi.sys so the BSOD "This PC is not ACPI compliant" would be solved, and an NVMe driver working in Vista (the one posted on some topics is not working). I'm testing some Firefox stuff, at least Librewolf 105 don't throws the error but it don't start. Maybe I'll need to reinstall SHA2 stuff?

    I just reviewed all changes:
    -Windows 7/8 functions added to kernel32 to support Firefox 106+, a couple of games, and Blender
    -DXGI extension added to run newer WxWidget x64 version of PCSX2 and others asking for CreateDXGIFactory2
    -ole and user32 extensions to run many Qt 6 applications
    -Extension to bcrypt: add support for PBKDF2 hashing algorithm
    -PowerShell Core up to at least version 7.0.1 working
    -Several applications such as x64dbg and Telegram will now run if spoofed to Windows 7 (the fault of the VC++ 2012/13 runtime)
    -NTOSKRNL extension added, compatible with NVIDIA drivers 378 (adds support for all Pascal except GT 1030) in full, and 398 on some systems (supports all Pascal plus OpenGL 4.6). A modified version of 378 (and 398, which may not work properly on some systems) will be made available through the extended kernel website.

    When will it be released? Pd. Don't know what's the Extended Kernel website, just know the mega folder.

    Is there a way to install chocolatei on Windows Vista? It's a good way to update the installed software. However, never managed to install it on Windows Vista with the official command, and powershell core fails to start. Moreover, the system requirements are a bit confusing (Windows 7+ and Server 2003+) while Server 2003 is bassed on XP. It fails to get the protocol when I try the command in Vista. So I'm wondering if there is another way to install it on Server 2003/2008/Vista.

    Ok, I will answer to myself.

    1.
    Download chocolatey latest version from Chocolatey.org

    https://chocolatey.org/api/v2/package/chocolatey/
    2.
    Rename file extension to .zip (not necesary, you can extract with 7z or similar tool)
    3.
    Extract the file
    4.
    Open PowerShell
    5.
    Open elevated PowerShell calling:
    Start-Process powershell -Verb runAs
    6.
    Go to the tools folder in the location where you extracted Chocolatey
    7.
    Call: & .\chocolateyInstall.ps1 to allow Chocolatey to install
    8.
    Add a path to the choco location to system environment PATH:
    C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin
    9.
    Restart your consoles, and VS Code (if you use one)

  14. I can't connect some devices to Windows Vista. That's happened with JBL Tune 710 headphones. The stac claims that you can't connect to devices without the function SCMS-T. Apparently, that's some security function. I use the toshiba bluetooth stac. The fact is that the option to connect to devices without that function is dissabled, and I'm not sure how far I can go updating the Toshiba's Bluetooth Stac since I use the version 10.34T. What can I do to solve this? Connecting to other bluetooth headphones and devices is working nice, so that's only happening with the JBL Tune 710.
