in my opinion, if ROS can benefit from additional donations, we can and should accept them

We don't need more random splintered ways to donate

We need people actually putting work in

I've a question, I'm a newbie to RE world and now currently I'm learning Linux x64 assembly. Is contributing to React OS just reading disassembly of Windows stuff and try to implement it into C code or it's more than that ?

Nooooooo don't read disassembled windows code. Ros will just deny the contribution since it's stealing Microsoft copyrighted code

so what is "clean reverse-engineering" looks like ?
\Device\NUL
Relms
Basically figuring it out yourself lol

the heck, this need extra skill beside windows itself is very complicated
Relms
Yep

ReactOS does clean room or blackbox reverse engineering. Windows code is an opaque blob you can't look into, but you can put input into it and see the output, and then try to create a function that reproduces the output (all outputs for all values of input...)
Julio
And how does work data structures
Julio
Then you can follow the workflow in this project:
amelia
That is the most academic answer I've ever seen
Julio
Identify a problem -> find a solution -> submit your solution -> wait until your solution is aproved or improve it if requested
amelia
Its almost like it came straight out of a textbook
Julio
For example this PR of mine is solving an identified bug with a specific software https://github.com/reactos/reactos/pull/4265
Julio
But does not meet the approval criteria so I must to improve it, but currently I lack of time to do it

Good, I'm Freebasic enthusiast
amelia
I've only ever used BBC BASIC
Julio
FreeBasic is just as powerful as C
Chungy
FreeBASIC is derived from QBASIC iirc
Julio
And is being ported to other archs
Julio
Like ARM

And how is assembly lunatix specific

What's your daily driver OS, Mark? If Windows, what version?

\Device\NUL

Yea, ik. NT kernel has different syscall and calling convention (and more complicated). I also find Linux assembly resources more than Windows one.
\Device\NUL
careful, he's gonna correct you to say GNU/Linux
Welp, You don't need GNU coreutils tho to Learn Linux assembly
Chungy
And how is assembly lunatix specific
There are syscall differences between Linux and Windows of course, but the bulk of x86 assembly is going to remain identical
Mark
Right, but how relevant is that for beginners?
Mark
The syscall differences

Ура, товрищи!😁 Сегодня мне таки удалось закончить свой патч в подсистему ReactX драйвера win32k. Благодаря чему майкрософтовский DirectX (ddraw.dll, d3d8.dll, d3d9.dll и dxg.sys) теперь работает совершенно без проблем!😎 Это, скорее всего, позволит использовать аппаратное ускорение на реальных видеокартах с нативными видеодрайверами (после замены вышеупомянутых компонентов). По сути, майковский DirectX теперь полноценно работает в ReactOS! ^^)
Сейчас я немного занят, но когда приду домой, постараюсь прислать пулл-реквест и записать видео. И, возможно, сделаю сборку со своими наработками.😉

Hooray, comrades!😁 Today I managed to finish my patch to the ReactX subsystem of the win32k driver. Thanks to this, Microsoft's DirectX (ddraw.dll, d3d8.dll, d3d9.dll and dxg.sys) now works completely without problems!😎 This will most likely allow using hardware acceleration on real video cards with native video drivers (after replacing the above components). In fact, Mike's DirectX now fully works in ReactOS! ^^)
I'm a little busy right now, but when I get home, I'll try to send a pull request and record a video. And, perhaps, I will make an assembly with my work.😉

So, Maikovski DirectX is Microsoft DirectX?

And btw, this is incredible. MS's DirectX working on ReactOS is an incredible thing. Good work and congrats to Олег! Ура! 🎉🎉🎉

Oh

Thanks Олег

Some vendors like nxp already use it in driver level

you better go to another group, ReactOS is following NT and not a *nix
