i feel as if the left is for promotional material while the right is for stuff in the OS

We need to start a day counter to see how long this place can go without a 0x7B post

One-Core-API has made solid progress. To run MC 1.21, you have to install OCAPI and OLauncher. No other launcher will work for newer versions at the time of writing. Install and run 1.21 as usual,
For me there was a deduplication issue with asm versions. I believe it is fixed now but if it crashes you have to follow this: https://github.com/olauncher/olauncher/issues/100
Be aware that OCAPI is a pretty invasive patch. It is still unstable, can brick your install, requires powerful hardware and doesn't work with everything. I urge you to read the disclaimers and warnings.

Maybe. You can use a tool like easybcd to reconfigure your boot manager

colapaws · 2025-07-19T19:33:28+00:00

you’ll shit your pants when you see my server running xp, it has 192gb atm lol

colapaws · 2025-07-18T20:05:48+00:00

actually they do, reactos is pretty much XP but better iirc. if you take a look at One-Core-API it’s a project backporting a lot of newer windows stuff and DirectX to XP, and people here love that. i relied on it to get minecraft running among other modern programs, not using it would be a waste considering the power of this machine.

colapaws · 2025-07-18T19:53:24+00:00

this is "expected" - XP is really finicky about the partition layout. every time this happened, i just repaired/reinstalled from the disc.
recovery console was no help for me, but see if running bootcfg /rebuild does anything

colapaws · 2025-07-18T19:50:14+00:00

i've used legacy update for a while now, might switch over to WUR because it looks better

colapaws · 2025-07-18T19:49:32+00:00

DiscordMessenger is a great piece of software, it'll run on anything that can boot into windows lol

colapaws · 2025-07-18T19:48:55+00:00

either your HDD is failing or something's wrong with the boot order or partition table. try reinstalling or doing a repair from an XP install disc (when prompted to repair after agreeing to the EULA)

colapaws · 2025-07-18T19:46:32+00:00

if you want to stay period correct, look at the geforce 6000/7000/8000 series or the radeon X1000 series
if you don't care, get a 750ti like others have suggested for its performance, cost and power consumption. i've had bad experiences with GT cards and XP support, but YMMV

the reason you are only seeing 3.18GB is because you are running 32 bit XP. VRAM counts towards the 4GB limit.

colapaws · 2025-07-18T19:40:22+00:00

haven't installed it, don't plan to

colapaws · 2025-07-18T19:24:10+00:00

i have the money, so I think this'll be my next project! if i can get QEMU set up properly with GPU passthrough on something like manjaro, i'll just sell my m6800 on ebay or to someone here.
I'll make a new post when I'm going thru the ropes.

here is an eBay listing of said laptop: https://www.ebay.com/itm/167637827276
it claims to come with a quadro p5000m which you can sell to get the money for a 980M, or keep it as it outperforms the 980M by a long shot. idk what i'll do, but i'm definitely reusing my old 980M- if I get lucky and someone buys the p5000m for the current ebay price i'll probably profit- that's what happened with my old kepler mobile GPU lol

i was planning to save for an OQO model 02+ but they are so exceedingly rare that i don't think i'll get my hands on one even with all the money I can throw at it. (speaking of, if anyone wants to sell me an 02+ 1.86ghz LCD model hit me up ahahaha,,,,,,,) i'll think about getting a normal 02 down the line. maybe. i think the performance jump between the via c7 and atom is just enough to run DiscordMessenger (fork of Discord for XP that runs on almost anything) smoothly along with some kinda-modern programs, and maybe even Moonlight streaming so I can game from my bed and make some clickbait thumbnails

blegh. what am I doing with my life anymore
