And also, unlike Firefox Quantum, H.264/AAC are working, and after noticing the slightly smoother fonts compared to other browsers, I noticed Directwrite font rendering is working also! You can smoothen out the fonts in Firefox by switching back to the old font rendering. Go into about:config - > gfx.canvas.azure.backends > direct2d1.1,cairo,skia (old font rendering) gfx.content.azure.backends > direct2d1.1,cairo,skia (old font rendering) (compliments Aris from CustomCSSForFx) Or if you're using CTR in Wf Classic, (the sane man's way to use Australis) navigate to the advanced column and tic the box to use Old Font Rendering. Still, the best fonts I've seen are from Advanced Chrome. They have a custom mask over DirectWrite/Skia that makes it appear suuuuper sharp and crisp. Sadly it's x86 though so the kernel doesn't yet support it. https://browser.taokaizen.com/chrome-directwrite/ Edited July 22, 2020 by docR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaguarek62 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) Rocket League is working with the extended kernel. I can't believe that. The game itself asks for XAPOFX1_5.dll you can source it on the internet and after you put it in system32 folder the game launches normally. Edit: Cinebench R20 is working too so you can add that one. Edited July 23, 2020 by Jaguarek62 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoltboy01 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) Just found out that the latest Google Earth Pro works on Vista with the new Kernel. Im not sure if it supported Vista but Google says that the min OS was Windows 7. Great news! BUT.. you need to install the latest IE9 patches, otherwise you will receive Certificate errors in GEP Edited July 23, 2020 by yoltboy01 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Firefox/Waterfox Quantum version 78/79 beta GIMP 2.10.18 Logitech Gaming Software 9.02 Palemoon 28.x Waterfox Classic 56.3 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. Thunderbird 78 works with Windows Vista Extended Kernel.

WinClient5270 Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 Thanks to everyone for the additions. Finally got the post updated. Now to tackle vanilla Vista's list... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docR Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Hardly surprising given Roytam1's unbranded XP port, but Interlink mail client is also fully functional with the kernel. Nice client, I'll add. I extracted the core folder from the installer and just ran the executable from a local directory. Lightning works with bidirectional Google Calendar support too, but you'll need to enable the Firefox user agent in the configurations editor for that to function properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docR Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Slimjet 20.0.5 based on Chromium 68 (before the UI became.. questionable) working here, as is 72-based Cent Browser 3.9.2.45. Slimjet 20.0.5's installer runs without error, while Cent needed the browser-bin contents extracted via 7zip to a local folder. I recommend disabling update checks in SJ, and deleting the updater executable from Cent's directory. Both browser versions still archived on their respective sites. (extensions still nerfed for me due to that certificate discrepancy, would appreciate any advice to that front) Edit: and here's Chromium 72 Slimjet 22.0.4.0. Installer also just works.
