https://archive.org/details/qemu-3dfx-vmaddons Here is a link to kjliew's qemu-3dfx additions, in case anyone still wanted to try the additions he kept under a paywall for years. He doesn't seem to care too much either, but feel free to remove the link if it's still against sitewide rules, despite being a FOSS project.

Any progress since you said you were stuck on the driver part?

Ok, but after modifying the cpp file, how would you compile it into a dll? @win32

Nice! I can't wait to try it once you're ready to release it if ever. However, I have a few questions. Once you have your kernelex finished, will will work with the Active Desktop Update shell?, and you said earlier that the way you did it is slightly different from how Win32 did it: Could you briefly explain how you did it? Did it involve writing code? Otherwise, great to see the progress you're making on this.

Awesome, is there any chance you can make a YouTube tutorial about how to make the kernel32 wrapper?

Good, maybe Pale Moon has a future. Here’s his resignation thread in case anyone is too lazy to click the reddit link which includes the logs. I’d say this is karma for shutting Mypal down.

FYI you just linked to a wikipedia article, not the forum

Ouch, I’m assuming it’s the same for NT 3.51? I really wan’t to do a mini kernelex for the OS, but I wan’t to know if windows2 can get the modified NT4 kernel32.dll to work first if that is the case. I hope so too.

Brave no longer uses Google as it's default search engine.

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. I had to use both Alky for Applications and OS Spoofer to get it to run. In case you don’t know what Alky for Applications is, it basically is a plugin that allowed Windows XP to run Vista applications like the Windows Sidebar that would allow you to run Vista gadgets, but it somewhat runs on Windows 2000 w/KernelEx, albeit poorly (not in this case, though). First, spoof the win2k installation to xp, then if you haven't installed Alky already (Link to download Alky), make sure to install it first before installing Spotify. Then, install Spotify. You can then spoof it back to win2k if you want. Don't just directly open Spotify up, Right click on the desktop shortcut and select "Run Vista Executable..." in the menu. It runs, but its a bit buggy. Note that I tested it in VMWare, how sure how it would run on real hardware.

Thank You for the detailed analysis, but I would like to correct you on this: Brave recently added Gemini integration for those who don’t wan’t Uphold. Not saying it’s any better

The Brave Team did respond back with this: https://old.reddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/nw7et2/i_just_read_a_post_on_rprivacytoolsio_and_wtf/h18fxec/ I guess one can take it with a grain of salt, as they can be seen as trying to defend themselves. I have never had issues with it, I only use it for the BAT it gives you. OP suggested to add alternatives they may have missed

I was with you until the part where you said Brave was the worst privacy-respecting browser. I am notably confused even after reading the article and your analysis. Why? How is it any worse than Chrome, Edge or even Firefox? Other browser alternatives I suggest reviewing are Epic Privacy Browser, GNU Icecat, Iridium, and Vivaldi.

Msiinst.exe lauches fine and everything, however msiexec.exe runs into an entry point not found error due to a missing NdrClientCall2 in RPCRT4.dll. I’m not fully sure how to hex edit, but how would I hex edit the dll file to add the missing NdrClientCall2 in the dll file? No worries, just doing it for fun .

I tried Windows 11 in a VM and I am very disappointed. The new task bar and start menu infuriate me and the high system requirements are a turnoff. My only first impression is Windows 11 not being as bad as other bad release cycle versions, like Windows Me, Vista, and 8/8.1. Just a boring, bland operating system.
