Hi all and merry X-mass, I got bored and with the help of @Dixel and some amount of inspiration I sometimes get from @win32,
I butchered the latest Opera 96 (110) to make it run on our beloved Vista !
This chinese browser Opera is based on the newest Chrome 110, which is officially supported only on Win 10 +.
Also, I forced it to use its native hardware Skia engine 110. (which is now blocked on win 7 by default).
For those who still drive their Sd.Kfz.8, Opera 95 and Chrome 109 are the last for win 7,
so as of now, win 7 and the extended kernel for Vista are not able to run the 110 Chrome version.
Please don't ask me about running it on WIn 7, I don't know (or won't tell) anything.
In theory, it's possible for win 7 to run it. But only if you edit the browser code.
(which is forbidden).
Only Vista related questions. Thanks.
Opera EULA says we can't edit their code, so I shall share my hacks/findings with @win32
and maybe he will be able to implement this in his next kernel release, so all of you
could run it without the editing hacks.
