Kext: DIY KernelEx extensions

[Destro]

Ok I will make a documented post soon.  Before that happen I will just put basic info on my system.  Intel 440BX chipset. 512 ram, Copermine PIII 800mhz  (this CPU actually have limited SSE ver 1 and MMX next gen), 3dfx voodoo 3500 So based on this I think it should work I will get too it soon maybe tomorrow after I sleep.  Once I we figure out how to get it working I will make a guide for other people to be able to do it too.

* Enable API logging on modules that fail to init and retest/profile with DebugWindow/KexApiLog open.
* Test each (and every) module with Import Patcher.

 

I dont know how to do that, cuz I am an id***.

KM76-Goanna works without SSE/MMX(yes, just slow without them), so CPU is not a problem here.

If we can make Kmelon/Gonna work on 98se than you become a God.

Hi Jumper, any chances for a new version soon ?  Thanks and all the best for 2018 everybody !!!!

Stupid question: How do I get ren'py based games to work under KernelEx? The kernelex wiki says it should work fine, but I found the latest version of Ren'py that could have been used when that wiki page was "Steampunk Hamster", so I made an example game under that version. I can't get it to work. To clarify, the launcher stub in the games root directory does nothing when ran, even under "XP SP2" compatibility, and replacing the stub with the actual game executable from lib\windows-i686 just says an illegal operation has been performed. Here's a link to the example game I tried: http://b.reich.io/vmnyyz.zip

The user who added Ren'Py did this in August 2012! So he tested older versions up to 2012. There is no newer editing of the text. https://www.renpy.org/release_list.html

I mean, I know that, but using the version from 2012 doesn't even work.

[schwups]

I doesn't know anything about Ren'Py. But I tried to run your Tutorial.exe and the ren'py.exe of version 6.14.1 on two machines and both start and run on my ME/KernelEX 4.5.2 test system. They fail to run on my main computer ME/KernelEX 4.5.2016.17. It requires more tests to clarify, if it has to do with KernelEx 4.5.2016.17.

[schwups]

After change of KernelEx 4.5.2 to 4.5.2016.17 on my "test system" Ren'py still runs. So probably it isn't a problem of KernelEX. r3muxd, you should start a new topic here in the Windows 9x/ME forum.

Or maybe you had expected other tests?

Kstub823.7z
// 823 - search: Kstub823.ini, Kexstubs.ini, stubs.ini; e120; fix r<unsigned decimal value>

Edited January 26, 2018 by jumper
Used K-meleon 74_31 w/JS to attach Kstub823.7z, fixed angle brackets after "fix r"

[schwups]

Kstub823: Is there something special to pay attention? I already replaced 822 on three machines.

Upload problem: Today I had successfully uploaded a test file with Opera 12.02 - theme IPS default and FF 9.01.
 

[jumper]

First two items were previously promised. Last fix is major--only hex return values were correctly parsed, unsigned decimals became zero.
Known issue: Still not fully thread safe for stubs (okay for forwards); status: fixable

I also use IPS Default. I'll try Opera 12.02 and FF 9.01; KM74_31 is way too slow! Thanks. :)

So many files and config files within the 1st post and inside the many pages, would someone be so kind to package it all  into one archive including config file?

I would greatly appreciate it I could also mirror the archive for longer preservation.

[jumper]

The Kexstubs 824 package will contain a thread-safe version of Kexstubs.dll and include an updated Kexstubs.ini.

However, Kexstubs is not an end-user tool. it is a debugging tool for KernelEx beta testers. Anyone using a recent KernelEx beta shouldn't need Kexstubs.

All Kexstubs testers should be regularly reporting new definitions as well as any old ones still in use so that they can be added to KernelEx.
