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.

This ISO below should just work on that type of hardware. (As long as you follow the note until I have a meaningful enough change to make beta 2 exist.)

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.

Also this post won't go into streaming, since if you're considering an iPod, you need a local music collection. You also should keep all yo...

Windows XP/2003 (NT 5.2) Updated (Beta 2)
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 ...

Modern AMD GPUs on NT 6.x is a mixed bag
Not sure if this is 8.1 only, but in further testing later, I've found the AMD card seems less smooth compared to my Nvidia card. Test game is Skyrim locked to half refresh rate on my 144Hz monitor. (72 FPS)

If this is a VKD3D issue or some sort of artificial limitation, I'm not sure. If you can figure out a fix, it would be appreciated. Also this d...

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.

I don't remember, but I think they use a new memory thing and that doesn't work after redirecting to an older function. Not sure if it even gives an error.

Either wrong QT6 ver or they use a special version. Maybe compiling a version with the QT6 patches and using those dlls for later releases could work.
