Errors trying to compile LineageOS 17.1 with updated clang (and other patches) for the XZ2 Compact
This has been resolved. More info here . This is a bit of a different one to the usual Windows posts here. I have a big interest into Android too, optimizing it and using the objectively superior older versions. I would like to hopefully get 15.1 or even 14.1 running on this phone, however that will...

Need help with r3dfox
I've been working on Firefox backported to Windows 7 again, and I have it running, however it's not optimal. It has some flaws like the caption bar always being the Windows 10 one regardless of operating system version. There was a lot of stuff stripped out relating to the 7 caption bar and with how...

XP bootscreen on Windows 10
This is more of a curiosity than a real thing. It should be possible with graphicsmodedisabled 1 and editing the Vista fallback, however there may be a XP bootscreen hidden inside 10 that appears in very rare circumstances. I've only found two references to this ever happening. First was the result ...

Nvidia 2000 series USB Type C Port Policy Controller driver for Windows 7/8
To be honest I really don't know what this does, so this is just a null driver, meaning it doesn't really do anything other than make it not show as an unknown device. I've configured it for the device ID of my 2080 Ti. Yours could be different. If so, edit the inf to reflect. Also on Windows 8.x yo...

Office 2013 requires online activation or KMS activation. If you prefer a fully offline key only activation, I reco...

Windows 8.1 updated to 2020-01 and 2016-09
I always recommend to install my ISOs in MBR. But when I try to do it from a USB (8.1, 64bit, updated to 2020), on a partition, it doesn't let me install saying it has to be in GPT. Booting from said USB in non-UEFI is just a smiley face :( Try Rufus 2.18p and make sure it's set to MBR for legacy.

You can still use 1.2. Get the latest version, install it, delete the updater exe, and there you go.

Best VLC version for stable, skip free FLAC playback
I've found modern VLC to not like FLAC files for some reason. There will be random delays or skips. This appears to have been fixed at some point between 3.0.19 and 3.0.20, but got unfixed in release 3.0.20. I found this nightly in-between version to be nice and stable with no issues for me.

Main Info These ISOs are released in a beta state. They mostly work, but don't have all the features I want yet, or can be buggy. For example, the USB 3 drivers aren't the best, only 2003 x86 has UDF 2.5 drivers, 2003 x86 doesn't recognize new USB devices without rebooting with stock USB drivers, R...

Sound Blaster ExpressCard audio cards for laptops
To start this off, you're probably going to want the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook (SB0710), unless you absolutely need ExpressCard 34 compatibility. Even then a cheap USB DAC would probably be good enough, combined with a USB hub if you don't have enough USB ports. It's what I currently ...

Guide for compiling VirtualBox 4.3 and 5.2
You could fix the issues with later 5.2.x builds, and compile a fixed 5.2.40 or whatever without hardening and maybe the 4.x UI as well. Would be best VirtualBox.
