That is interesting, but I think there's much better topic to talk about modern Chromium-based browser for Windows XP.

There are a few things to consider, but it should be possible. UEFI-only installation : Use bootloader from FlashBoot Pro or ESU update + graphic driver integration. NTOSKRNL_EMU : It will allow you to use backported generic USB 3.0, touchpad, and eMMC driver. You may have to backport other drivers by yourself.

You have to edit registry. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;Increase core count limit to 12 cores [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager] "RegisteredProcessors"=dword:0000000c [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NDIS\Parameters] "ProcessorAffinityMask"=dword:00000fff If you still have problem with NVIDIA driver, leave a comment on @blackwingcat's blog.

Actually, it is OS dependent too. Windows 98 and 2000 do not support UDF 2.0 or later. DVDs formatted with UDF 2.0+ require a third-party driver or utility to work with Windows 2000.

I don't have knowledge about this, but AFAIK the latest Windows XP compatible Python release is 3.4.4. not sure this would be helpful - Python 3.8.13 for Windows XP SP3

Seem like the main contributors of XP/2003 ACPI.SYS are not as interested in Windows 2000 as XP/2003. As @Mov AX, 0xDEAD said, no one can make Windows 2000 ACPI.SYS compatible with modern hardwares by binary patching (Adding ACPI 2.0 extended syntax and fixing known ACPI incompatibilites) Before XP source code leaked, modders already knew the limit of binary pathing original ACPI.SYS. They even tried to use ACPI.SYS from Windows Vista Beta 1, since it supports ACPI 2.0 syntax. I think more realistic way is either using Extended Core to replenish missing functions, modifying Windows XP ACPI.SYS source code to make it compatible with Windows 2000, or both. @blackwingcat's Extended Core already has three missing functions of NTOSKRNL.EXE. The last one is HeadlessDispatch. Does anyone have idea to handle it? Will it be possible to make ACPI.SYS process this function itself?

I couldn't find any missing exports of halacpi.dll in Dependency Walker. Is there something I haven't found?

NTOSKRNL.EXE (5.0.2195.6902) - InterlockedPopEntrySList InterlockedPushEntrySList HeadlessDispatch ExfInterlockedCompareExchange64 @blackwingcat's Extended Core has IntelockedPopEntrySList, InterlockedPushEntrySList, and ExfInterlockedCompareExchange64.

Microsoft made some non-public hotfixes for Windows. Here are some of them (2000 / XP) https://twilczynski.com/windows/updates/

Option 1. Mount install.wim, use PEIMG to slipstream your driver with /inf option, and unmount it (Don't forget to commit changes) Option 2. Use vLite. vLite is like nLite for Vista. Since this tool is obsoleted, you may have some problem with Windows 10. I recommend to use second most latest version. Also, There's other USB3 driver ported by daniel_k. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MoRwTRdvbOTG88PV3_CervB235YJVkZm/view?usp=sharing

Hi. Could anyone explain how to make something like Extended Kernel? I want to make Extended Kernel for NT 3.51 to run NT 4.0 NDIS driver. NDIS4 driver from NT4 build 1365 requires more functions in ntoskrnl.exe and hal.dll from NT4. (ntoskrnl.exe - KeInitializeTimerEx, KeSetTimerEx & hal.dll - KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToSynch) I have modified a bit of assembly file with Hex editor and IDA. But due to lack of my knowledge(and also my English skill), I still need some guide how to make Extended Kernel. I have looked up other topics explaining how to make Extended Kernel, but I failed to understand the whole process. Is there anyone who can help me?

http://bbs.wuyou.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=420990&extra=page%3D1 Here are generic NVMe & USB 3.0 drivers. Slipstream them or load during setup.

Hi. Could you guys try RightMark CPU Clock Utility? It has CPU-Halting function with its own halting driver. I'm not sure if it would work on modern CPU, but I think it can give us some clues. http://blog.livedoor.jp/blackwingcat/archives/512703.html (use translator)

@Damnation How about HWMonitor or HWiNFO? Seems like at least one of them supports XP.

According to BetaWiki, build 2257 is UNLEAKED. https://betawiki.net/wiki/Windows_Server_2003_build_2257

Which ISO did you have success with? I'm trying to install Windows 2000 on Compaq CQ40-304AU. Even though I disabled AHCI and ACPI 3.0, I'm getting 0x0000007B BSOD. I know my laptop is AMD platform, but I think I'm capable of modifying ISO for my system.
