Complete List of What is in AutoPatcher XP 4.5


Recommended Posts

hehe, i remember a whole discussion wether we should include it or not (because of the spyware/adware it contained)... since we found a way to install it without the junk, we decided to include it :)

Yep, and everyone cheered! :) I love the new handwriting plugin for it... so much that I included it. lol

btw: yesterday my MSN Messenger would crash when opening chat windows because of it... dunno why... but im Handwritting-less since yesterday :p

Really? Weird... though on the MSN Messenger Plus forums some reported that, though no one knew why.

haha... weird!? tell me about it! i couldnt receive any msg for a few hours... then i tried to see if it works without the plugin and it works great... so i guess ill wait for the next version :p

Yeah, it seems to work fine for most, just a few have the issue. I'll keep checking in, and when they have a new version I'll update it. Either way, it beats the alternative (18 MB of fun!).

Hi all,

I came across an option in the new Feb version that I'm not familiar with, & it isn't well explained in it's description.

The option in Question is in the "Microsoft Windows XP Optional Tools & Components"section, & it is:

"Windows XP 24-bit Stereo Sound" (Description: Replaces the default XP sounds with the original 24-bit sounds)

The question:

I assume that "default XP sounds" refers to the "default XP system sounds", but what the hell is meant by "the original 24-bit sounds" ?

(I would have presumed to call the sounds being replaced as "Originals")

Can somebody please explain exactly which sounds are replaced, by which sounds?

FlishFan,

Perhaps you might look at improving this description.

Cheers.

Ah! Sorry 'bout that. When Windows XP was still Windows Whistler, they had these AWESOME 24bit stereo sounds. But when the OS went Gold, they subbed them for the crappier ones. So this tweak replaces the new crappy XP sounds with the original 24bit Stereo ones. :happy:

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
