VistaLover Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 ... For those not closely following the development in GitHub , Supermium v122 has been publicly released: https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/releases/tag/v122 https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/discussions/316 The new installer (both 32 & 64-bit) promises WinXP compatibility; the portable distributions appear to be, again, behind a paywall: https://www.patreon.com/posts/supermium-122-99791603 https://www.patreon.com/win32/shop/supermium-plus-package-march-2024-30-day-138343 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-H Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Thanks, that's good to hear, although I will stick with 121 for the moment! I still can hardly believe that a browser with the latest Chromium version will actually work on XP. It's far from perfect, but the fact that it works at all amazes me! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelby Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) The 64 bit version works perfect so far. And in some sites it uses less ram than the previous version Edited March 5 by shelby 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait at least 2-5 versions (at most when it becomes 127), and I guarantee you it will be perfect and you will want to use it.

dmiranda Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Without need of rebasing, and with all settings and extensions as before, 122 has a fast load, relative to 121, can run multiple tabs (included YT) with ease, and releases memory after loading heavily scripted pages very fast. I like it. Probably as a consequence of using DirectX10, on launch I get "The procedure entry point _except_handler4_common could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll", and also a debug message"[ERROR:crashpad_client_win.cc(476)] InitializeProcThreadAttributeList (size): The specified program requires a newer version of Windows. (0x47E)". But I don't mind them (click and go on), and can surf quite nicely. Thanks @win32! Edited March 6 by dmiranda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmiranda Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) I had solved, somehow, the font ugliness noted in 121 before, but even there I seem to notice improvements (even without installing the NotoEmoji.font that comes with the installer). Nevertheless, I still placed it in windows/fonts. It shouldn't hurt to have it (but optimally, the browser should have its own internal font folder as FF forks do).

Is there a comparison somewhere with and without the "plus" (paid) package. Thanks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XPerceniol Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Overall working well here with 3BG of RAM (Pentium D) on youtube most of the day - I'm very impressed - thank you! Edited March 6 by XPerceniol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user57 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 well according to microsoft more then 4 GB ram is possible in 32 bit: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20090706-00/?p=17623 the microsoft guy even says how however it seems the other links are deleted from microsoft for whatever reason - is there something to hide ? he says CreateFileMapping can create 4 GB fragments (he isnt saying segments what is kinda correct) he also mention the 2GB to 3 GB extension, but 3 GB is a bit small when you actually want to more then 4 GB CS:EIP is a combination CS has 16 bits and the EIP (called the code segment(cs) and instruction pointer (IP)) for data there would be a way to use an extra DS (data segment) , that would give 2 (segments or with the ms guy´s words to fragments of 4 gb address room) the EIP pharse the instrutions , 4 GB for instructions is actually a lot DATA is unspecific but you guys can tell what that is , a RGB buffer, a FILE, a GAMES 3d object, a VIDEO - those are not instructions those are just memory or "DATA" DS is actually in use but even then why not ES (extra segment) or maybe making a better use of the GS (global segment) i tryed to ask if the 128 GB patch actually really works, i think it do - but actually i dont seen a proof the other already mention 2 approaches where the PAE and PSE not to forget the PDBR/CR3 (that is what points to a different app) and then the PTE/PDE ect. can point to different ram - so over that also more then 4 GB of ram would be possible the PDBR/CR3 solution is app limited, but having unlimited amounts of 4 GB app´s is not that bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it would require a newer version of Windows because the minimum supported client for that function is Windows Vista. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/processthreadsapi/nf-processthreadsapi-initializeprocthreadattributelist 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a timebomb of some kind, even if not now, but maybe later? Stock up on it while you can. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
