Hooray! Windows Vista Works! #404

It would be greatly appreciated if you were to upload the disk image. |
|
Here is the download https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nUR3-0wetjlRyg8rJkt-ZYPQtWMltx2S/view?usp=sharing Its kinda big. I compressed it using 7zip. 25 G extracted size. Requirements: Note: If it looks like it is not doing anything - it is. Just be patient. It will eventually load. (It doesn't take that long to load.) |
|
Interesting find. Could you provide the qemu command line that you used to build this image? |
|
@copy Note: I am on windows. Commands (should) be similar though. |
|
how long did it take you to boot it |
|
@inyourface34456 |
|
Ok |
|
Can you also post the raw image file? I also have a chrome book and it dose not like .7z. I do have fast network and an ftp server |
|
@inyourface34456 I do not have enough google drive storage (Or the time to re-compress it as zip) |
|
Try installing Mypal on it and try to run 10 tabs. |
|
On any QEMU command, speed up the install process by appending |
|
I only get this: |
|
Now this: |
|
@Ganesha2282882 Just be patient, it will be a black screen at first, it will eventually load. |
|
has anyone noticed that the issue code for this is #404 (I just saw that the original poster of this noticed aswell lol) |
|
i got disk read error |
Closed
|
@Pufffins The save state button will just give me a new iso file. |
|
I'm getting "ACPI not supported" notice with ACPI enabled. |
Disable ACPI. |
Can reproduce. @copy Is ACPI config broken? |
|
v86-debug output: |
|
Encountered error while attempting to get memory dump. |
|
Attempted to boot the disk image as CDROM. Error: |
Are you using a 64-bit image? V86 only works with 32-bit. |
|
wouldnt we need to load the disk image file to even restore the save state? (or am I wrong)
|
|
It appears that if you attempt to lock the computer, it blue screens.
Don't know why this happened.

No, you just need to run emulator without any image, but with these
settings:
512MB of RAM,
128MB of VGA memory,
ACPI enabled
Then you just open the save state file. Tested it and it works well.

I got a fiber Internet and it took less than a minute to boot up but I tried to open up Control Panel and it froze for some time before Explorer restarted. The Aero Basic theme also works now |
|
Fiber internet shouldn’t make a difference since v86 runs locally
|
|
yay windows vista on v86! |
|
How did ethanaobrien export the vista.img file to google drive |
the .img file is just a file on your local hard drive containing the virtual disk, so it can be uploaded to cloud storage services such as icloud and google drive. |
|
What directory would the img file be in then? |
|
the directory where you created your qemu .img file |
|
How do I boot the disk image on v86? I always get a disk read error. |

I installed windows vista ultimate in qemu and it booted in v86 almost perfectly. I have some screenshots just for fun.
For some reason when I take screenshots on my chromebook it says "error saving screenshot" so I had to use the take screenshot button in v86.

If someone wants the windows vista disk image I created, comment. I'm not going to upload it unless someone says they want it.
I noticed windows vista automatically lowered the quality. When I booted in qemu, it had the more detailed start menu and taskbar but in v86 it automatically lowered the quality to be more basic. Cool, right?
Problems with vista:
No sound driver found
No network driver found - probably same problem as #392
This is awesome! Keep up the good work!
(lol, this is issue 404, hope you can find it!)
