SevralT Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Latest kernel and Hal.dll corrupted.... xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
win32 Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 It appears that the modified winloads and ntoskrnl are not happy with newer versions of the HAL/win32k/etc. The modifications are relatively minor, so it wouldn't be difficult to rebase off newer versions of such, though I am quite concerned about the performance hit associated with newer Windows binaries since late 2017.

This required patched versions of winload, ntoskrnl, and ci.dll. This makes Vista as a whole easier to modify, but also reduces forward compatibility of the extended kernel (for now).

Im getting the same error as before i.e 0xc0000098, and as such it wont boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoltboy01 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Lol I just found out that Extended Kernel is mentioned in the official Windows Vista Wikipedia page (at least the German page). It basically says that an unofficial kernel was released to Vista in August 2020 that adds Win7 SP1 APIs to Vista, allowing modern Firefox/Chrome to run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
