+*Most of this document also applies to Windows 2000.*
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You can download Windows 2000 from [WinWorld](https://winworldpc.com/download/413638c2-8d18-c39a-11c3-a4e284a2c3a5).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Use QEMU to create `winxp.img`:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+qemu-img create winxp.img 2G
|
|
|
+qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -drive file=winxp.img,format=raw -cdrom en_windows_xp_professional_with_service_pack_3_x86_cd_vl_x14-73974.iso
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Follow setup instructions.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The next step fixes `Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded` in Chrome during Windows 2000/XP boot in v86.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+After installation change computer type to "Standard PC" as described [here](http://web.archive.org/web/20220528021535/https://www.scm-pc-card.de/file/manual/FAQ/acpi_uninstallation_windows_xp_english.pdf):
|
|
|
+Start > RightClick "My Computer" > Manage >
|
|
|
+Device Manager > Computer > RightClick "ACPI Uniprocessor PC" > Update Driver... >
|
|
|
+No, not this time > Next > Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) > Next >
|
|
|
+Don't search. I will choose the driver to install. > Next > Standard PC > Next > Finish.
|
|
|
+Restart the VM, follow multiple "Found New Hardware Wizard" dialogs with default options.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Now `winxp.img` is ready for v86. You can use [the website](https://copy.sh/v86/) to run it:
|
|
|
+Specify `winxp.img` as a hard drive and optionally set memory size to 512 MB.
|
|
|
+Or run it in a custom html file as described below.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Get seabios.bin and vgabios.bin from [here](https://github.com/copy/v86/tree/master/bios),
|
|
|
+get libv86.js and v86.wasm from [releases](https://github.com/copy/v86/releases/tag/latest).
|
|
|
+Create `winxp.htm` with this content (assuming all the files are in the same folder):
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```html
|
|
|
+<!doctype html>
|
|
|
+<script src="libv86.js"></script>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<script>
|
|
|
+onload = function()
|
|
|
+{
|
|
|
+ new V86Starter({
|
|
|
+ wasm_path: "v86.wasm",
|
|
|
+ bios: { url: "seabios.bin" },
|
|
|
+ vga_bios: { url: "vgabios.bin" },
|
|
|
+ hda: {
|
|
|
+ url: "winxp.img",
|
|
|
+ size: 2 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024,
|
|
|
+ async: true
|
|
|
+ },
|
|
|
+ memory_size: 512 * 1024 * 1024,
|
|
|
+ screen_container: screen_container,
|
|
|
+ autostart: true,
|
|
|
+ });
|
|
|
+}
|
|
|
+</script>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<div id=screen_container>
|
|
|
+ <div style="white-space: pre; font: 14px monospace"></div>
|
|
|
+ <canvas style="display: none"></canvas>
|
|
|
+</div>
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+To open this html file locally a HTTP server is needed. The standard Python server `python -m http.server` doesn't support HTTP range requests.
|
|
|
+You can use [http-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server) or [devd](https://github.com/cortesi/devd).
|
|
|
+Start the server (from the same folder as `winxp.htm`):
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+npx http-server
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+Open http://localhost:8080/winxp.htm in the browser.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Windows XP load time (until start button becomes responsive) in Chromium on my computer:
|
|
|
+* 3 min second time
|
|
|
+* 4 min (first time or if cache is disabled)
|
|
|
+* 12 min second time if Network tab in Developer Tools is open
|
|
|
+* 17 min (first time or if cache is disabled) and Network tab in Developer Tools is open
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Sometimes Windows XP hangs after boot (before it is interactive) in v86,
|
|
|
+displaying only desktop wallpaper without taskbar or desktop icons.
