I'll also have to see how Windows 2000 handles launching OS/2 processes. I suspect that the kernel's behavior is to simply pass anything that has a valid MZ header but not a valid PE header to NTVDM; if so, then NTVDM probably has a shim to further invoke OS2SS

I'll have to look at osFree as well, but if it doesn't implement 16-bit stuff, it won't be useful at all. I'm mostly interested in getting 16-bit OS/2 stuff running

(Mainly because that's what Windows NT and Windows 2000 supports out of the box.)

that would be pretty dank :3

...If ReactOS is free, maybe we could give it to customers for free instead of pirating Windows for them for free.

Right way to stop windows piracy 😊

which games work on reactos

other than hl2

counter strike source

would age of empires II work

Does dota2 work?

Speaking of dota, will reactos try on the longer term to implement the vulkan api?

would age of empires II work

It should

I launched aoc.exe on 0.3.17

(Aoc.exe is the patched AoE2 which can launch in windowed mode, seamessly switch localization, etc)

Speaking of dota, will reactos try on the longer term to implement the vulkan api?

@PeyTy worked on Vulkan

Damn, he left this chat

Did he get far

reactos doesn't have to implement the vulkan api

it's like opengl

the drivers themselves provide the DLLs that apps will use

although we may need some sort of thin wrapper

but not really anything big

A thin wrapper? So like candy wrappers or something? I can supply that

No. Kernel-mode api for 2d video interop

Or ICD-like mechanism

given that windows 7 probably doesn't have its own "vulkan dll", but does support vulkan drivers, my guess is it's mostly done by drivers, without any OS requirements

What if you're the vulkan DLL? :o

well, dynamic binding lets you get function pointers to any DLL you load

so it would just be a matter of the program loading the right DLL

opengl32.dll in windows does that for you, but it would be easy for vulkan to bypass that

given that windows 7 probably doesn't have its own "vulkan dll", but does support vulkan drivers, my guess is it's mostly done by drivers, without any OS requirements

But, does Vulkan support XP?

Can I install Go on reactos?

vulkan doesn't care

however, I'm not aware of any gpu manufacturer who has created vulkan drivers for xp

and I highly suspect they won't

there

https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-LoaderAndValidationLayers

the vulkan loading and validation DLL

is provided by the Khronos group

so if ReactOS will ever support vulkan

it would have to be NT6 enough to use the Windows 7+ gpu drivers

and then install this runtime package

nothing to do on reactos itself besides that

Yes you are right, I should've asked you to driver support.

So is reactos currently only windows enough to run older software, or?

pretty much

currently targets NT5 (Windows Server 2003 SP1/SP2)

NT5.2*

and the team doesn't want to switch to NT6, because that would set it back 10 years of progress

So is reactos currently only windows enough to run older software, or?

Maybe not even as Windows.

due to the work needed to re-design the code to the new platform

and add all the new missing components

So instead they are just trying to get full 5.2 compatibility?

well not necessarily full

but the plan right now

is to keep the core as 5.2

but add "forward compatibility"

to support NT6 programs

even though the system is technically still NT5.2

That sounds really weird

yes, and it wouldn't be the chosen path, if we had enough manpower

but with the few contributors we have, it's the only viable option
