For Some time I am working on a universal VESA Graphics driver with hardware acceleration for XP. It is based on Reactos Source code and some other from Winddk2003 I am trying to add Direct Draw support Please some one can help me. here is initial release of the driver . This Is a generic vesa video driver with full blown Frame Buffer . https://mega.nz/#!cygRBArB!IeSwlKru_A9zqPBIjQfRcZqW_L_jUJ3Naw0fHPhSE1k Warning : This driver in alpha so far from perfect I have grabbed minport directly compiled from Reactos . any one can help me to build that with Winddk2003? I have used frame buffer from Winddk2003 source code . I want to remove VGA min port only just want to keep vbe min port any one can help me customizing inf? how can i add device name like Intel HD 630? planned features :- *DirectDraw support *DirectX9 Support(Generic one for common application) *OpenGl Support(Where can i get opengl icd?) *Power Management (APM) *Brightness Control(Very Essential ) *Improvement to frame buffer for more better performance. *A control panel applet to adjust resolution , brightness etc *Vulkan Api Support (Where to start with ?) *15-bpp support *VESA 3.0 Support *USWC Please help me . I believe this project will be very helpful

it is always better to re-create your profile if something is changed and makes it crashes. for the change of profile path, it is not done by me, but the moonchild people.

It all comes down to what applications/games you are running or what features you require. That is the only way to know, otherwise it could just be anything. Of course, posting "unknown model number" makes it impossible for anyone to be able to say "this other card is better"

I can implement all functions in system binary but issue is ff57 uses tls call from vista up. If someone at least fix that extendedxp can run newer Firefox. http://www.nynaeve.net/?tag=internals&paged=2 I tried to update function of xp but all in hell.

What are you trying to do? If you just want the minimum FireFox that I recommend for XP-64bit use v43.0.4. It is patched and works for Youtube 1080P and has SHA-256 cert. You can use the 52.0.3ESR but I found it laggier after testing almost each FireFox version recently to find what was broken and still working on multiple websites.

My board works with 98SE. It's not news, rloew uses his Z170 motherboards with 98SE as well. Currently it's running off the integrated Intel HD 610 GPU from the Pentium G4560 with the VBEMP generic driver. It's good for what it's worth, consideting it's limitations. I use a USB keyboard and mouse. The Ethernet card, as I've wrote in my previous posts, works flawlessly with the 2008 98SE driver from Realtek's website, the screenshot shows that clearly. No Audio, but buying a cheap Chinese USB Audio Card should work. I'm planning on getting a 7900 GTO. (same as 7900 GTX but with lower memory clocks, the PCB and cooler are identical) I also must consider on getting a normal HDD, (a 1TB Toshiba should be fine, with the partition limited), because now, I'm running 98SE from my SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0 32GB flashdrive (plugged into a USB 2.0 port). I use the Rufus utility to create a MS-DOS bootable stick (can't do it on Win10, I had to use the free virtual machines MS provides), then I copy the Win98 folder from the 98SE CD onto it (and remove fluff from USB stick that Rufus creates except for IO.SYS and COMMAND.COM, obviously). Then I boot from it, run "setup /is /ie /iv /iq /im /nr /p i" and let the first part complete. (it completes with no errors) Then I copy the Vcache patch by Xeno to SYSTEM/VMM32, and the HIMEMX.EXE file to root. I put HIMEMX.EXE into CONFIG.SYS with the /MAX parameter in bytes (I've used 512MB, but 1GB should work too). Those two things make it so that I don't have to modify SYSTEM.INI to get to the second part of the install. Then I finish the second part (it might freeze, but a restart fixes that). After it boots. I've installed the VBEMP driver, and the LAN driver, also copied the latest portable version of AIDA64 to showcase the PC specs. And that's pretty much it. This is the only method I've tried that works...and I've tried A LOT! Of course the USB drive works entirely in 16-bit DOS compatibility mode (Windows complains a lot in system properties), so any file operations hang the system for a good while. It is REALLY annoying! And of course, I've turned Legacy USB, CSM, XHCI Hand-Off, PS/2 Emulator all ON. So as you can see, it's not perfect, but with a few purchases, I might have the world's fastest 98SE build with the best 3DMark scores, we shall see...Maybe I won't have to buy the SATA or NVIDIA patch at all. I know there's no Legacy SATA option in the UEFI. So maybe the SATA patch will be a necessity...or I develop one on my own This is my only PC, normally it runs Win10 on a 240GB SSD. (will back to Win7, since Win10 is getting on my nerves more and more with every day). I obviously won't install 98SE on it, I could in theory do a multi boot with Win7/Win98SE once I get the 1TB HDD, but I would have to switch the GPUs for every OS. (I'm getting a GTX 1050 Ti), and that takes (albeit not much) time... Also, almost all of the 1TB space would be wasted.
