Does your wrapper work without uniscribe?

Well, I don't know yet because there are tons of new functions to add and moreover a lot of nt 4.0 functions are quite old and they need to get updated. I have made some progress but it takes a while (I'm a bit busy at work lately, so the project has slowed... after the Christmas holiday I will be back to the project ). As soon as I will able to get something work, I will update this topic Edited December 22, 2017 by junior600
junior600 Posted January 9, 2018 Author Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) NEWS. the project is alive and I have managed to get some new browsers to work, even if I had to edited something to the pe file. Now it works (even if a little buggy): k-meleon by roytam (they work even video at 1080p on youtube but there is no audio), palemoon by roytam, seamonkey 2.33.1 and firefox 36.0... I decided to rewrite all and add the apis into the original dlls using code caves (no more api wrappers). I will release the first release in a month, for now I post some images: Edited January 9, 2018 by junior600 8

Yeah, I'm aware of that. I will see how to deal with it. xD
cov3rt Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 this is very interesting, i thought 98SE was nice with kernelex, but after seeing this api wrapper project, it makes it seem like nt 4.0 is even "better". i wish there was a similar project in windows 95 and i've tried voicing this out before, since there is so much that can be improved in windows 95 such as newer web browsers with better compatibility, wpa2 support, etc, i mean, imagine a wpa2 client that worked on windows 95 and custom network drivers for certain wifi cards that allowed connecting them to wpa2 networks. sorry if i went a little off the topic but i thought it may have been nice to mention and somewhat relevant.

piotrhn Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 What progress with you extension, Can we expect release in JUNE?

Yes, now with the summer, I have free time to work on it. Within the end of June, first of July, I will release it. I'm also working to get new drivers to work on it, it is one reason because it takes time. There are still new software that don't start, like XP, so have patience people, I will release it.

junior600 Posted June 12, 2018 Author Posted June 12, 2018 I finally managed to get also new versions of Basilisk work on windows NT 4.0 with my kernelex, now they work new versions of firefox too (up to 52.0 for now). The first release of my kernelex will be on the first term of July. Be patient, I'm working hard to get newer software and drivers working on it :) 5
