The only XP I ran in recent times is installed on bare metal, virtual machines suck for fun stuff, unless maybe with specific setup that I'm not too familiar with and is probably too much bother anyway...if I reboot, XP gets all available hardware resources...until capacitors on this old thing still work, I can still mess around with it and have eXPerience as was meant to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't uderstand why a lot of people ignoring UpdatePacks and they crying and complaining. It's still same after another 10 years. Yes, and of course there could be bugs. But I quess I must face these issues, when testing images on real machines. Another point is, many "Windows XP Enthusiast" never have real XP machine and never used them, they are just too young.. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify: Supermium is made by @win32 - Canada, Thorium (100% based on Supermium) but made by Alex F. "Alex313031" - Russia. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offtop: Where did you find out he's from Russia? I am from Russia myself, but I have not seen any posts on any forum that he is Russian. And also in the browser there is no part of localization in Russian.

Alex had his own website long before he made that github account. Several MSFN members linked to that site, but it was not allowed for posting because Alexei hosted cr*cks on his site along with the browser Thorium. Then he deleted that site after the scandal with the child p0rn distribution (but we are forbidden to go into further details) by Dave-H. As you may remember, the old Thorium topic was locked, probably due to the reason of Alex (Thorium) distributing cr*cked Windows loaders, etc... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxon Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Thorium still has a dedicated website (not sure how old it is), but I don't advise to link to it, it has loads of Windows cr-cks, including his own, so don't get banned for posting his site! Or this topic might be locked, too! Thorium is still a distributor of highly illegal content. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well. you don't really have to own a GFX card with HEVC H/W decoding support to test; S/W HEVC decoding by the browser should suffice; navigate to https://tools.woolyss.com/html5-audio-video-tester/ and if the two HEVC entries are coloured in green, then support is implemented: (PS: Raw HEVC decoding support is not sufficient in itself for the above test; encapsulation of it inside the MP4 media container is also required...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a C2D has enough performance to open 1080p h265. You need h265 in mp4 to test it. But I've already checked, the h265 video does open. Tested in Win XP. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
