7 months ago When installing Windows XP on PCem according to this guide (and with various deviations from it) everything works fine until the point when you're asked about a resolution change:
When you agree to it, it does change the resolution and then shows this screen:
Then it never gets past that screen even after many hours of waiting.
To be fair, if you reboot the machine, it's possible to use Windows XP just fine.
Expected behavior The thing that is supposed to go after the
Please wait...screen is Windows out-of-box-exerience sequence.Emulator configuration xp.zip I tried changing things around but it didn't help,
PCem versions I used
- v17 on Windows 7 (this one worked a few times and I got into OOBE)
- 5df4a1f on xubuntu 22 (via vmware 15)
XP versions I tried

I also tried to read WinXP source code to figure out which step it dies at exactly, but never figured out the global sequence of events, only individual parts that are scattered around and are not very helpful without debugging.
Man I'd LOVE for this project to keep going to the XP era just for reference sakes: even if we can't exactly emulate the bios yet it doesn't mean research shouldn't quit because then we can have full coverage of hardware specs. Which then it will be a literal time machine of PC's/Laptops if they ever do Laptop models. Imagine someday emulating a Dell Latitude D600 to relive your childhood laptop or something once home CPU's get there.
