[WIP] Windows Vista Extended Kernel

[win32]

Sorry , not Dixel , but the question is about this very game . Could you please give an advice ? I want to try this game on the original kernel , I read it uses plain DX11.0 . As far as I can see by the dependency walker,  it only misses two functions.

The first is  GetLogicalProcessorInformationEx

And the second is in mono dll   TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive

Whould you suggest me with what it could be replaced ? thanks.

GetLogicalProcessorInformationEx -> GetLogicalProcessorInformation

TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive -> AcquireSRWLockExclusive

I also wanted to ask with what I can replace K32EnumProcessModulesEx ?

psapi.EnumProcessModulesEx. It's basically the same function but this kind of substitution is usually unsuccessful for some reason.

Thanks, but psapi.EnumProcessModulesEx is longer and do not fit. EnumProcessModulesEx is absent in my kernel. The game doesn't start.

TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive -> AcquireSRWLockExclusive - replaced successfuly.

Is this with the new one or the old one? I don't even get any calls to missing functions in my test VM.

Is this with new version.

I'm still trying to get this to work , a new barrier with screen resoulution auto config arose.

Would you please suggest a good replacement for 

DisplayConfigGetDeviceInfo

GetDisplayConfigBufferSizes

QueryDisplayConfig

And maybe something different for K32EnumProcessModulesEx , should not exceed the length.

 

I'm sorry if I'm such a bother , thanks !

 

 

And these ones also , please.

CoGetApartmentType

RaiseFailFastException

 

These ones also need to be replaced

K32GetProcessMemoryInfo

ResolveLocaleName

SetThreadErrorMode

idk why but i want to get it fully working

i Reinstalled (and changed editions) Windows Vista. and readded the extended kernel files(along with the needed updates).

im updating cemu to see if it makes any difference.(edit:unsurprisingly it didnt)

Edited January 5, 2021 by ScrapMechanicFan2016
updating cemu.

@win32 hope you dont mind me asking , but has there been any progress towards getting newer gpus like pascal and above working properly and also will a uefi version of osloader be made available as it was left incomplete previously. Thank you.

I started working on winload.efi again but I continue to struggle with digital signature verification. The same things that were successful to bypass protections on winload.exe are not successful on winload.efi.

gtx 1060 is the culprit, replace it with original titan or gtx 780/980.

It's OpenGL, so the 1060 shouldn't be an issue here.

Maybe, maybe not . He can test with these cards to see what happens. Real life scenario is a good test . I had some games that crashed with GTX980 and GTX780 (chip revision A2), strangely chip revison A1 worked alright.

Have you considered modding the driver itself ? 382 seems to be a wise choice since it supports 1030.

I also came to the conclusion that 382.33 would be good to modify, but 382.33 has NVTelemetry, so anyone modding it would have to remove it

Removing telemetry is just a couple of seconds . Modding the driver is not easy , I guess . We are better off with 7/9 series , btw I noticed modded 372 files in the folder, what are they for ? Win32 began experimenting ?

fps drops to like 20, it could be better on opengl 4.6 probably, 372.70 has 4.5
