WildBill Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 It's been about a year since I've posted, but I've been quietly working on my rewrite of kernel32.dll on and off. I've gotten it to the point where I'm pretty confident that it's finally free of any bugs I've posted the source and DLL here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/jea4ca8d7f4g3yj/Windows2000-kernel32-rewrite-v6.zip I'm thinking that the next logical step would be to start on a rewrite of ntdll.dll, which I hope will be easier (since it's smaller). I'm not even using Win2k all that much anymore, but I still like the idea of eventually being able to build our own Win2k kernel that can run on modern hardware. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dencorso Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 @WildBill: Man, you're alive!!! That's great news!!! But you might have posted from time to time just to let us know that! And you brought us a newer version of your kernel32! Wonderful! Thanks a whole lot! You do rock! Live long and prosper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agrecascino Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 This is legal right? If so, it would be cool to see this on github/bitbucket/*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 This is 100% legal. But as far as seeing it on github/bitbucket/*, don't hold your breath. WildBill has posted the full sources of his re-creation of Win 2k kernel32, together with the compiled executable. He did it alone, didn't ask for any help and freely gave his results to the comunity. What else do you want? A pole-dance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's awesome that this has been released, and I was thinking it would be easier to have many people working on patches to kernel32 to make more applications work. I didn't want to make a repository myself since it's his source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, it would be cool to see this on github/bitbucket/*. Yes. As long as it was clean-room written from scratch without using any leaked Win2K source code, then it's perfectly legal. ReactOS and Wine fall into the same category. Wow, this is amazing! I never dreamed someone would be able to completely re-implement kernel32.

Dibya Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 One question does code cave of ms file is illegal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 One cannot redistribute any MS file. Therefore, any modified MS file cannot be legally redistributed, either. No exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dencorso Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 The 98 KernelEx by Xeno86 is not a MS file, nor does contain any MS Files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumper Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 My KernelEx updates also contain no Microsoft files or code. And Ley0k's additions appear to be clean, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
