I used a Dell 3040 to test the eMMC driver and it worked, but the computer has poor parameters to use it for anything specific , so I don't care about I2C support. I'm basically not interested in laptops and unusual mini-computers.

Besides, my goal was to add UEFI, NVMe, USB3 and ACPI support to WinXP 64-bit and I managed to achieve it, so overall the goal was achieved. I think I've had enough and don't want to continue patching - anyway, there's a lack of testers and too little interest

I've done a lot anyway:

• I added UEFI boot support
• I added basic UEFI NVRAM Boot Menu editing support
• I added restart from OS to UEFI firmware
• I patched kdcom.dll and bootvid.dll to easy debugging
• I patched hal.dll for restart working
• I successfully tested booting from the eMMC disk

I have my favorite modern desktop WinXP 64-bit computer with all working devices (full drivers) - 8 Gen CPU, 16 GB RAM, an NVMe drive from which it boots in 18 seconds + PCIe graphics card with working 3D and a large 2K monitor, sound, network.

The motherboard in this computer does not limit me like a laptop or some unusual mini-computer with soldered CPU, RAM or eMMC disk:

• I decide which keyboard and mouse I will use - PS/2 or USB
• I decide whether I will use a SATA or NVMe drive
• I decide which graphics, sound and network card I will use - PCI or PCIe
• I decide what processor and how much RAM I will use
• I have COM ports for debugging

Hi there. I'm new here but I can possibly help with testing drivers on my VM. Would it work on a VM or do I need to test the drivers on real hardware?

If you still want to do this for XP 64-bit, I might be able to help you find testers. You can create a new post in the win2000_dev_community support section, and I will try to find people to test it with you. all I can say is that the future is now with the 64-bit system.

Really? For the most time windows xp x64 wasn't really popular
