Five years ago I made xompie (which is nothing original) and one of its part is wined3d, but sadly because of my Intel HD has crappy OpenGL driver, wined3d never really works for me.Now replacing my old ivybridge mobo with another ivybridge (optiplex 7010) mobo with 16GB and nvidia GT 730, I could run AOM EE with wined3d.aom ee run in xpbasically just need d3d11.dll, wined3d.dll,

C++ standard has been evolving much more like Java, or rather no more like C evolution, C++20 module remind me of Java 11 it make C++ "appreance" no more like what it used to be... I wonder how far Windows XP could get the lastest C++ standard toolchain. Lets revisit C++ standard progressionC++98 (formally C++03) has been what XP supported by Microsoft (with its peculiarity and quirks) from the

 SAIS is unusual space strategy  game for its time, it opensourced in 2005 and then modernized at github as well as no longer run on XP. It was one of many tiny XP-era games that I collected. I take the SDL1 version source and compiled it, put the full game data and noise-filter the sound files to make it less annoying... is that what the author thinks of void space noise :(.

For a long time the best lightweight PDF reader for XP is SumatraPDF 3.1.2 which based on MuPDF. There is  alternative such poppler/xpdf and ghostscript, all of them use rather unfriendly GPL-like license. PDFium which used within Chromium is new BSD license or APL 2.0 but has crude packaging (typical of google).I stumbled on https://github.com/vfr/UXReader-Windows a nice pure

Python 2.7.18 is the last bugfix version of any python that officially support Windows XP. By default those trying to build it on Windows will need openssl 1.0.2 per preconfigured VS2010 project file, that mean TLS 1.2 at best for you. However as we know, the patch to support TLS 1.3 also landing on 2.7.x line all you need is to build hashlib and ssl module with openssl 1.1.1 or preferably 3.0.x

In the past, I made promise about blogging more but deliver none. This time, I'm deliver some before blog it...20 years after XP released, it still my main windows OS and without a doubt the greatest 32-bit OS of all time.Now with everyone start ignoring its existence, it's a good time to officially call XP the center of 32-bit retrocomputing.A time when 2GB ought to be enough memory for anything

Java 8 has complex situation on the unsupported XP. Back in early versions, the installer will warn user that it require newer windows and may not functioning as specified if user proceed. Indeed things start to break one by one, as a software platform runtime it might not obvious when it works or not that's until we ask specific broken component otherwise JVM continue on happily.These are

 What is the maximum processor XP support?XP support up to 2-way SMP (2 sockets), with a maximum 32 logical processor cores in total or with HT/SMT disabled up to 32 physical processor cores. XP can fully utilise SSE processor such as Intel Westmere or AMD K10 and will/may run under newer processor but wont be able to use AVX/FMA.What is the maximum memory XP support?Since 1995 32-bit i686

When Windows first released in 1985, eight years later Microsoft made the best 16-bit Windows in the name of Windows for Workgroup 3.11. Then another 8 years made the best 32-bit Windows called XP and yet another 8 years the best 64-bit Windows 7 was born. After that PC kind of hit the wall in term of hardware requirement for general users, although clockspeed has been stagnant for different

Today I received a used Xeon E3 1265L from China via ebay for $85. My motherboard is AsRock B75M-GL and originally host Pentium G2020 (was about the same price at that time). This Xeon is lower in wattage(45 vs 60) and has more cores (4+HT vs 2). Sandy/Ivy motherboard was Intel's last generation to properly support XP (my USB3 ports automatically turn to USB2), so I'm grateful to have this

I have installed MSYS2 version that works with XP, and Perl 5.22 was the last build to run. In few cases I'd need to use native version e.g. in conjunction with native gnu-make. So I look at ActivePerl 5.22 which unfortunately drop support for XP just at the same version that I need.. heh! Installing it under MS Application Verifier disguise works well, but damn, ActiveState sure know how to

FFmpeg itself has no problem with XP, but its dependencies are. This build is feature complete  (and therefor non-opensource and not redistributable) oh well. This build specifically for XP so most of AVX optimization disabled Aotuv is used for vorbis encoder and capable of ~32kbps at -aq 0 x264 and vpx codec use high bitdepth but not for x265 (is too slow) your custom fonts goes to fonts

As a prior reference https://code.google.com/archive/p/static-gtk2-mingw32/ the thing is no patch provided but hints, that's enough though. So why GTK2? well, after maintaining pygi-aio for several years, nothing really that good.. honestly There is rough edges, regressions and more importantly it feel less responsive (with slower start-up). Overall GTK 3.x was turbulent version. Just FYI,

QEMU provide binaries for windows at https://qemu.weilnetz.de/w32/ But around version 2.8 (the builds is snapshot based) it was dropped XP support  (supposedly version 2.9 when it switched to SRWLOCK mutex thread) I build recent qemu version that compatible with XP (32-bit) by reverting the threading model to 2.8.x version.

Yep, that's probably idea of https://github.com/kenjiuno/ThumbGensPack/ made by japanese developer. Thumbnail generation happened in background by command-line application that feed 24bit bmp image, this non-blocking way is safer than using dll but at the cost of spawning repetition (and windows watchdog, antivirus scan and so on) delay of the generator since it's not a "server" process (

Got another request for PyGI AIO on Python 3.5 (and 3.6), with my previous attempt using MinGW-W64 to target UCRT failed. I'm considering to switch entirely to VS2015 for PyGI 3.22 (thanks to Fan for keep  VS project files up-to-date). However the idea of using VS2015 while online put me off.. instead I want to use EnterpriseWDK which I can confirm by compiling libintl that it does
