January 16, 200620 yr Author @DirtwarriorNot trying to make you feel bad, but I saw that you uploaded my Mindows batch file onto an FTP on OSBetaArchive .
January 17, 200620 yr Ooooo Someones in Trouble No to explorerBtw, since this isn't being built using nlite, how are you distributing it?
January 22, 200620 yr Author New poll for the week! What drivers should I add to GE? Any drivers included with XP, unless replaced by a newer driver, will be included. Unfortunately, I will not include every driver requested, but only the most popular drivers. Thus far, the Nvidia 82.12 ForceWare driver and nForce4 series motherboard drivers are included. I will not be adding support for legacy hardware, as GE is meant to supplement cutting-edge computers.
January 22, 200620 yr ill be using a giga-byte board with viai know i need a better one but i got too much to pay off and to get my wife hereand i use nvidia fx5200 i know a worthless card but it was freeor i might buy my radeon sound blaster support and firewire
January 25, 200620 yr Author @SoferThe purpose for using the 82.12 was because of claims of better bench scores and gaming speed. If you could link to the source of that claim, I'll consider it, as I'll always be using the fastest drivers available.
January 25, 200620 yr Actually Aegis i'm just running it off my own bench scores Maybe it's faster with other cards, mines a 6600 256mb so who knows, maybe mines the only one that gets the speed boost :X
January 26, 200620 yr Author @SoferOh, Ok. I'm basing my driver selection on whichever driver gives the majority the best performance, even if it lowers performance on my own computer .And some good news! My RMA'ed parts just arrived! And Finals Week is almost over! So expect the project to progress some more .
January 28, 200620 yr So then will the first release be soon?And: Are there any VB6 runtimes in the release? I'll need them for a gaming shell. (GameOS Shell, originally made for 9x, but will work on XP too.)GreetZZ 3-R4Z0R
January 28, 200620 yr Author @Ripken204Have all the parts except for the exhaust fan .@3-R4Z0RThink you asked the question before, but most likely yes.
January 28, 200620 yr Err I'm sorry to ask this but why would you make a windows xp just for games? The performance gain you can get from a dual-core system with 2gb of ram by using a slimmed down windows may be something like 1/2 fps. The only thing that can really speed up games are last video drivers (or custom video drivers like omega drivers that perform slightly better than other ones).BTW why don't you use bashrat the sneaky's driverpacks? They have all graphics drivers inside and they're very very easy to integrate.
