Isn't mov ax, ax equivalent to inc eip?

I think mov ax, ax checks flags against ax.

Although it may be wrong, it was long time ago since I actually program in x86 asm. Last time (last year) I was just helping my girlfriend with homework, and before that I work with PIC.

Yes but there is no significant advantages in doing so

Especially if your assembler developers aren't hardcore, long-term

Very good chance they will write code less efficient than a compiler.

Release is coming

That's good news!

🤔

i created a build of ReactOS 0.5 SVN with the old boot of ReactOS 0.2/0.3.

test in a VM first please

the file may have become corrupted when sending 😂

in .7z or in .iso?

i used 7-zip

you're paranoid with the integrity of files lol

for me a simple md5 is already good

Eh, md5's ok, but it doesn't really take any more effort to check sha512 checksums

or a boot screen store, where other users can create their boot screens and share in the store

only images, the code I adapted

only images, the code I adapted

I have removed the progress bar of the boot, as in the version 0.2 it does not exist

reactos/ntoskrnl/inbv

I changed only those two files

All atoms are 64-bit, but OSes and BIOSes are 32-bits from OEMs

My now only PC is locked to 32-bit so he-he, a bit of irony

is better if you can think about 32bit users too after 2018 :p

even windows 10 have 32bit right?

Supporting old 32-bit stuff, I mean hardware and drivers, is too much of hardcore

Very complicated and unstable

Hardware - yes, Software - backwards compatible anyway, because thanks to AMD64 ISA.

what

No, because Win 7 will be patent free in 10 years, while 8 and 10 much much later. That said, supporting the 8\10 APIs is a GPL-suicide

By supporting Win 7 we at least somehow protected

This is a good approximation

It did already, XP was released more than 20 years ago, and it incorporates features from olders windowses - already patent free

No, because Win 7 will be patent free in 10 years, while 8 and 10 much much later. That said, supporting the 8\10 APIs is a GPL-suicide

Actually, implementing your own implementations of APIs is fully legal, as well as reverse-engineering them

At least in the US jurisdiction

You just don’t have the right to use the copyrighted code

In Greentea, we dont actually care about GPL-paranoids. We care about our users. It may happen if MS will sue you, for any reason, what would be your answer?

Or answer is "we use obsolete patent free APIs and also we follow our country rule about compatinbility implementatiosn - whic is ok for OS with market share of 50%"

Your actual answer may depent on your county law, but you should be at least be 50% protected

Dont forget that win7 is not sold now, so we implement obsolete APIs, not actual (like win10 - which is in stock)

Atari’s implementation of the 10NES chip would’ve been legal if it weren’t for the fact that they’ve stolen the code

The fact that reverse-engineering is legal was proven in that case too

So yeah, he really shouldn’t talk about stuff he clearly doesn’t know about

Nope. Microsoft may sue at any moment, it is not enforced to sue anyone. If they would like, the would sue. Sueing rigth now, a couple of educational non-popular os users will make MS to look stupid, so they dont do any actions for now.

Also, this makes no sense. Reverse engineering is a broad term, and there is a black-box testing and implementing by specifications - very different things. It is desired to be protected for most countries, but it is not the thing you have "by default" just by swearing that you didnt violated anything.

Proven somewehere doesnt meant proven everywhere

Most of devs just think like US is a whole world

And lawyers are free as in beer

Why forward if he himself could speak up

Why would anyone think serious of Greentea OS then? It's just ReactOS fork after all, with 1.5 active devs and unclear motivation.

if that's their plan, it's VERY optimistic to say the least.

>but it is not the thing you have "by default" just by swearing that you didnt violated anything Then how do you prove it the other than swearing or having a license? Winning the court in every country possible? And how does Greentea OS will be different from ReactOS in that matter? This statement is nonsense.

Also if this guy read Microsofts EULA it clearly says: reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except and only to the extent that applicable law expressly permits, despite this limitation

If the country where software is developed has a law that explicitly allowing reverse engineering Microsoft can't sue ReactOS or any dev that obeys that law. So that has nothing to do with GPL at all.

You can forward these to the Greentea chat but I have no will to join it for just expressing my opinion.

hamer aka lucas only forwards messages kek

I know, he can forward mine then :)

Oleg either doesn't know what he is talking about, doesn't know english thus can't explain his point properly or both.

Yes

What da fuq

Why is this called reactos witnesses BTW?
