Yes it is. Edit: @Mr Jinje: To be honest my only concern is the QWORD stuff ( XSDT ), but if it will be defined as LARGE_INTEGER instead it should work. The only bad thing is that I don't have any Win7 x86 iso so i can't confirm that it will work properly or provide specific support.
This is an interesting little project. I've looked at the code but not yet given it a try since I don't have the DDK installed. I'll test it properly at the weekend. From what I can see so far, it looks clean and simple but still has quite a few mistakes that will cause problems. Some assumptions you've made are incorrect (table order, where free space is, etc.) so tables will get overwritten in some cases. But I like this so far. It's a nice example for people to play around with and could be turned into a decent alternative to a grub-based loader. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting... I like the idea, something different... No one has really messed with a SLIC driver since Paradox's royal.sys was disabled in Vista. Good to see someone messing around with this concept again.
...should...if everyone knew how to code in c++. I like c++...I just get tired of looking for the missing bracket or comma sometimes though...lol
lol yea but i thought every time something was complied it was different depending on the machine it was created on. my key cert branding app has a different hash if i compile it on a x64 machine than a x86 machine making it harder to track the source but who knows
The hash would be different, but if MS were dumb enough to check files just based on hash then they probably need to hire some new programmers... If I were MS I would scan based on heuristics instead of hash and file size...but that's me. Anyway, not trying say anything bad about the idea... I like it as a matter of fact...I always thought it was a neat approach.
true i dont think they will find my version of this im teaching myself C++ right now imma laugh after sp1 and they cant find it
That would be cool. Maybe we get WHQL for it? Edit: Can someone please review the code and tell me if the table addresses are right? zsmin pointed out that my code "can" cause trouble?
Nice, I am gonna tinker with it as well. I like to play with code... Thanks to Secr9tos for starting this thread, I think something pretty neat will come of this.
That would be great if my code could be the base for something "neat" as you say. Lets see what will happen in the future..
I compile it to 32bit and test in Vmware OS:windows 7 Professional (chinese simplified) Acpi(Increased four unknown table and two slic table) View attachment Acpi.7z not working properly in Vmware but i think it will worked in real machine fun work ! thanks for sharing.
