Telegram Classic icon for Windows

Nothing much, just a classic Telegram icon .ico, use it with the Chrome PWA if you want (like me). Makes it look nice and not flat. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/764672175650897932/1189934744570445844/image.png It could be a bit scuffed as I used an online png to ico converted, just thoug...

Unreal Engine 5.2 + Unreal Editor working on Windows 7!

Is there a way to get an offline installer for Unreal Engine without using the Epic Games Launcher? I kinda want to archive gold versions and the necessary compatibility patches. I still have UE 5.2 installed on one of my laptops. I will get the whole engine saved and compressed, but I don't know w...

Windows 7 on 11th Generation Intel Tiger Lake

Looking back at this post... Unfortunately, it is definitely a Int10h issue. You could try UEFISeven, although I had little luck with it. Have you thought about using 8? You can mod 8 to be almost exactly like 7. Intel drivers on NT 6.x are nearly impossible to get running on 9th gen and up. If it's...

Dolphin 5.0-19266+ on Windows 7

What specific error did you get while running it without VxKex? If it's something as stupid as CreateFile2 not found, why would the developers of Dolphin go out of their way to make sure Dolphin doesn't run on 7. Usually it's people being dumb and switching to Python 3.9, but what's the problem here...

Desdinova wrote: 16 Jul 2023, 14:47 Yeah, make sure resizeable bar is turned off you can use uefi boot as well. Also turn off tpm, fast boot, and secure boot.
Makes sense why you want TPM and "secure" boot off, but why resizeable bar?

Has anyone tried getting Windows 7 to run on an AM5 (Zen 4, Ryzen 7000 series CPU) system?

Unreal Engine 5.2 + Unreal Editor working on Windows 7!

This took a lot of trial and error (AstroGrep helped greatly), but I got Unreal Editor 5.2 working on Windows 7. First of all, the regular 5.0 trick is needed, where you take the Windows 7 Python binaries and replace the ones included with UE5 (thank you VERY much Python for being a total d*ck with ...

Windows Vista on 11th gen

Oh, I completely forgot about this post, but it booted and worked semi-decent. The Haswell bug (HAL-related I think) is present, meaning that sometime, when the OS boots, it randomly won't load a part of the system (sometimes it's the UAC and that's really annoying). What I did was take base SP2 iso...

Windows 7 on 11th Generation Intel Tiger Lake

Before it is fully formed, as in it's just 4 dots. With K4Sum1's media, it has the 8.1 installer so it loads up just fine and gets through the first stage, but the second stage it does not. I even replaced the ACPI with the one K4Sum1 provided and disabled driver signature enforcement, but it still...

Windows Vista on 11th gen

So I got a hold of the Windows Vista extended iso, modified the acpi.sys file with the same patch K4sum1 gave me for 7, and it got past the point where it would crash normally without it. After that point however, it still freezes, this time I assume due to a different reason. The boot log mode does...

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition air cooled. The UI still sometimes gets laggy and then games start to get laggy too, though putting whatever game I am playing in full fullscreen mode fixes it.

Yeah I did that and it gets past that issue, though it freezes at the Windows loading logo finishing. I can't enter safe mode to debug the exact issue because when I press F7 I can only choose one option (I need to disable driver integrity because it notices acpi.sys was changed). Any way to make it...

OH I figured it out! So the acpi.sys is unpatched in the install.wim, so that is why it won't boot. I simply had to patch that file, and I just have to rebuild the signature somehow. Any ideas how?

Okay just tested this out on my laptop (10th gen, only NVME) and it works. Sort of. It installed and loaded but I get a black screen and screen artifacts on the top of it. I am assuming this is due to a lack of graphical drivers (10th gen Intel UHD).
