Hi. Please can someone share Windows Vista x64 or X86 ISO with acpi.sys 6.0.6002.24312 file. Thank you

Here is the Vista ISO with the newer acpi.sys (albeit it have a newer version of acpi.sys than that version, but the same patch is applicable to the newer version too + it is in Ukrainian only): https://archive.org/details/windows-vista-fully-updated-iso-07-2022-ukrainian-x64

Try to boot Vista on VM or any PC that support CSM, open cmd as admin and type bcdedit /set {default} quietboot yes, and then try again

BTW you can try use patched acpi.sys in conjunction with Extended Kernel (it does include patched ci.dll) + nointegritychecks yes, and for me it worked fine without disable driver signature enforcements

For me email from MSFN was in spam and only appeared after 4 resends. They really need to fix their sign up system lol.

But now I not need to sign up to MSFN anyway yet, because I contacted with win32 in Discord

Good news:

(I had to upload two latter files to prnt.sc because of the 300kb limitation)

Ok, this issue is solved for me, but I have another issue... random BSODs... Vista is just unstable on Ryzen, it can give you random BSODs with random codes (IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, BAD_POOL_HEADER, etc), and seems that we need to contact win32 (creator of Windows Vista Extended Kernel) about this issue, but seems that he is active only on msfn.org, and I can't sign up to msfn.org because e-mail just does not arrive to me. So, @George King, could you contact win32 about this issue, and, if possible, bring him to this forum, if he is not in this forum? UPD: I found some person called @Win32, maybe he is real win32 UPD 2: No, he is not real win32

Just for those who wish to run Vista/W2k8 x86 on modern hardware.

Can you answer me the following questions:

        1. It is possible to get rid of random BSODs when using Windows Vista on AMD Ryzen?

        2. It is possible to fix Haswell+ issues on Windows Vista?

        3. It is possible to install Windows Vista on UEFI-only PCs by using methods like VgaShim, UefiSeven, disabling VGA method, FlashBoot Pro, etc?

        4. Does there is USB 3.0 and NVMe drivers for Vista?

        5. Does there is a patched ACPI.sys if you get BSOD 0x000000A5?

        6 (optional question). It is possible to add TRIM support into Vista?

And last, but not least question: Does there is eMMC drivers for Windows Vista (and Windows 7, because we can't even install Windows 7 on eMMC drives), and if not, it is possible to backport Windows 8 8056 driver to Windows Vista and 7?

P.S. For me, the important problems is 1, and 4 (except NVMe because I have 2 SATA drives and no NVMe drives). The optional problems for me is 6 (I have 1 SSD drive and 1 HDD drive, and I would like to install Windows Vista on SSD drive, yes, you can install it on SSD, but Vista does not support TRIM, and I heard that SSD lifespan will be shorter than if you use Windows 7 or newer)
