Afterwards, open back up Firefox.exe, navigate to Import Table, then to ntdll.dll, and then change the entry RtlQueryPerformanceCounter to NtQueryInformationProcess. Save the file and test it out You can also just change ntdll.dll to ntext.dll which has an implementation of RtlQueryPerformanceCounter. The next change to kernel32 should eliminate the need to change SubSystem versions in executables. Edited October 13, 2020 by win32 1

If you installed using Legacy BIOS, you are good, and don't need the UEFI files.

You need a updated copy of Vista, updated to the 2017 EOS, which is hard to achieve. But if you want to easily update Vista to the 2017 EOS, x has what you need Edited October 14, 2020 by Tripredacus removed content per rule 1

Though this is easier said than done. 1

You need to manually obtain these updates from repository. I'm pretty sure that someone on MSFN did archive them. 1

Congrats. I was literally discussing Dolphin 5.0 with someone a few days ago on vanilla Vista SP2 x64 - in fact I bought a Radeon HD 6350 (512MB) GPU to pair with my Sandy Bridge i5-2400k just for Dolphin, haha. @win32, the image in the OP seems to be broken, by the way. Is this just on my end? Edited October 15, 2020 by Koishi Komeiji 2
