WinClient5270 Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) Here, you will find a list of software compatible with Windows Vista, after installing the new extended kernel by Win32. As this project is very new, this list will remain quite short for the time being. List: BeamNG.Drive 0.16 and later Chromium versions 53-73 beta (later versions currently do not work) Firefox "classic" versions 53-56 Firefox Quantum version 57 and later GIMP 2.10.18 Google Earth 7.3.3 and later Interlink Mail client Logitech Gaming Software 9.02 Opera 44 (later versions currently do not work) Palemoon 28.x Rocket League Thunderbird versions 53 and later Waterfox Classic Waterfox Current Whatsapp I will continue to update this list as more software is made compatible. Feel free to contribute your own additions in the form of a reply to the topic, and I will add them ASAP. Edited July 26, 2020 by WinClient5270 17
Megadeth58 Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) I got the latest firefox beta to work. Strangely, i couldn't get 78.0.2esr to work. Edited July 19, 2020 by Megadeth58 uhhh adding something into the post i guess lol 1
Megadeth58 Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) Chromium versions from 53 up to beta versions of 73 seem to be working with the extended kernel (if you replace system files). Anything above will throw a BEX64 related crash. Edited July 19, 2020 by Megadeth58 2

yoltboy01 Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 Dear WinClient and win32 (any everyone who participates on this project): Thank you soo much for doing this project, I really appreciate your work. A few months ago I was very sad that NOBODY really appreciated Vista and that Browsing has become extremly risky. I updated it with Server 2008 patches till 04/20 to make IE9 safe at least but as you all know -> 113 HTML5 points are not enough to browse the web anymore. So thank you for this Extended Kernel, so I can use the latest Firefox on my most favourite OS. I hope you will one day be able to port Office 2013+, OneDrive, Skype, Steam and Spotify to Vista. That would be amazing 2
Jaguarek62 Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) I gotta say i'm very impressed. BeamNG.Drive is wokring again <3 Thank you. You're the best. https://pasteboard.co/JiwUfGC.jpg Edited July 20, 2020 by Jaguarek62 1

That would be amazing steam should be easy afaik , the main reason it doesnt work is because its 32bit and uses a newer chromium framework than that is supported on vista Edited July 20, 2020 by burd

Megadeth58 Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 It wasn't me, it was my friend. He got it working by replacing system files instead of redirecting but i found this method to... break my windows installation

Megadeth58 Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 I managed to get firefox 78 working with the search bar also working but youtube still doesn't work, for example. 64 seems to be the way to go at the moment.
