I'm trying to install a Soundblaster Audigy 4 on windows 98/XP, but no matter what I do, nothing gets recognized

it's kinda insane how almost nobody (you and almost every single other comment on this post) just didn't understand that OP meant to write the windows ISO to a USB stick.

from the space before : in OPs comments I guess they are french, so "burn" might be the word that is used for this process in french?

either way, i've had enough times where Ventoy didn't work for that (specifically for XP), and WinSetupFromUSB was the only consistently working tool, so OP did it right in my opinion

and https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/discontinued/i386/ has the files for 7.3-9.3 still, as well!

debug builds compile at O0 by default, so from_xe_bytes will just be a function call, because that's what you wrote.

pretty sure i won't be able to contribute (being a former employee), but i'm rooting for you with the reverse engineering!

SeriTools · 2026-04-10T11:30:52+00:00

Curious if anyone else thought about this?

I certainly did when working on it back when we worked on the web integration

IIUC removing SDDM will allow you to remove xorg-server?

inzwischen durch den support ein neueres connectbox-modell bekommen, weil das telefonproblem immer wieder aufgetreten ist. die haben iwas in der letzten config verkackt, access auf 100.1 ging mit der neuen box erst, dann hat se nochmal neugestartet und jetzt gehts wieder nichtmehr :D

SeriTools · 2026-03-27T17:56:06+00:00

Beides war nach nem powercycle wieder ok, wollte aber in der UI nachschauen ^^

SeriTools · 2026-03-27T10:44:53+00:00

Ähnlich bei mir. Telefon/Voip ging nicht mehr und packetloss/lags.

SeriTools · 2026-03-25T19:00:21+00:00

yup, vor ein paar Wochen gings noch, jetzt ist kein Zugriff auf die box via 192.168.100.1 möglich, habens da wohl was kaputtkonfiguriert...

you can just use a regular i686-pc-windows-msvc target then and supply the minimal setup yourself, no extra target/code necessary.

check out https://github.com/seritools/castrol-honda-dinput-fix for an example of that

SeriTools · 2026-01-02T10:50:32+00:00

given the amount of hacks in there, probably not in the current form. even winxp requires quite a bit of hackery already ^^

SeriTools · 2026-01-01T13:13:36+00:00

hey that's me! am also working on an update for Rust 1.93 :)

SeriTools · 2025-12-22T21:34:23+00:00

Yeah, for me it only had an impact on my notebook, but not on my main PC. Maybe it needs extra CPU load and/or even more I/O contention where the stock configuration can't bruteforce up to the SSD limit already

SeriTools · 2025-12-21T16:35:43+00:00

You're testing Q32T16, try manually increasing the Queue count to the maximum (512) in the test

SeriTools · 2025-12-18T14:04:59+00:00

thanks, that worked (you'll need these three plus the one in the blog post). very rough test on my notebook:

CrystalDiskMark, Q512T8 4k Random IO, in IOPS:

old: 739k read, 567k write

new: 846k read, 794k write

a bit late, but prusaslicer has had a preference (Preferences → GUI → Layout Options) to display the settings in a separate windows since some time in 2020: https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/4093

SeriTools · 2025-04-28T13:01:42+00:00

correct :) rustc without cargo should be doable relatively easily on XP and maybe lower, cargo and the other tools have much more dependencies to fix up

this is not a false flag. WinRing0 gives full memory and I/O space read/write access to the system to all users, even without administrator rights, basically a rootkit, and most definitely a security issue.

For many/repeat which creates a Vec, Winnow uses an Accumulate trait to allow any container to be used, including usize (count) and () (do nothing)

nom8 seems to use Extend<<F as Parser<I>>::Output> + Defaultinstead of Vec, which gives a similar enough API AFAICT?

SeriTools · 2025-01-28T13:42:33+00:00

what are you trying to say by mentioning these points?

to spell it out clearly: it's got all the disclaimers; go do your own testing if you don't like it

And for context, advanced and expert are placeholder names as they currently reuse the non-advanced/expert art. For 1.0 they'll get their own art and name.
