This sort of video is why we should stop saying "content", and instead call it a film

@@BrokenCircus a film is technectly content just alot of it

Aw c'mon the video would be nothing without that red hot 𝕾𝖎𝖝𝖙𝖞 𝕹𝖎𝖓𝖊

i honestly didn't even realize you were in the video, but just knowing you were in it makes it even cooler

holy shit cs is heh sis

oh, was CS the guy that said 69 was the number of registry keys added by the .net 2.0 installer?

YOO THE GOD OF YTPS IS HERE

I wish! I'm only learning how to program. It would take me a decade to learn all this stuff. But I would totally make a parody film out of the journey to getting Pro Pinball games to work on modern machines. You can't even make an image of the discs that work without using some niche format only some programs, like Alcohol120% or DAEMON tools can make or use. And on modern machines there are security issues with the original discs and even disc images you can buy from the company. I have a cracked version of Big Race USA someone gave to me a couple of decades ago that still works on all machines and operating systems from Win98 to WIndows 11. So it's definitely possible. Maybe it even runs on Win95. I'm pretty sure I've only gotten and played the game after I got Win98. And I bought a disc copy and later all the other games as well and the digital versions in one pack and ended up sticking with playing the crack because it just works, unlike the disc and digital versions. But they did some really cool stuff.The physics, including spin and bounce against the glass worked very well. And they used audio tracks of live played music in the games, which was pretty rare back when The Web came out (didn't have bounce on glass yet) for MsDos. But it also makes it impossible for most disc burning software to copy both the files and the audio so they both work without a CD-rom. I found an old msi file I made with Alcohol120% way back when and I got that one to work by copying the game files and ignoring the installer, and it will play the audio and the game on Windows 10. So that's pretty cool. I would love to get all 4 games fixed and working properly on all systems. Two of them never worked without sound glitches on any system I've tried them on and some didn't work at all. And they've got great music and they're still great pinball games with a lot of cool and fun options to play with.

That's a LOT of armature porn They'd probably have to rebrand as Get Only Fans Hub or something... and that only covers half the primary functions the intranets were purposed for What about the cute kitty pics?

so it has more than 3,113 registry keys? damn. edit: shit i didn't watch the whole dvideo before responding it does yes

​@@dogewasfoundyeah it apparently bas 5409... and thats just for version 2, i can only imagine tbe amount .net 8 has if microsoft didnt eventually get their shit together since then...

That's because there's this thing called DCOM, or COM+ that basically takes a C++ class and turns it into 10 registry keys at minimum in the registry, so that C++ class can be used by any other DLL or software. Its all done because C++ never had binary compatibility between compilers and systems. DotNet uses it heavily internally because you know, it is made in C++, but C# must be able to call C++ objects and there's this JITtted code that must be able to use it via the marshall interop laywer, and the rest of the other software on the system, like Office and the rest of Windows also communicates like that. Really, that's an ingenuous solution to a very hard problem, how do you do Inter-process communication at scale ! It seems a lot of registry keys, but they are automatically generated, I remember using ATL for that in C++. So instead of just loading a DLL and calling C prototypes, you have to put them in the registry, for each "function", its literally just a more complex database of symbols, like the symbol table any EXE has.

Why so many registry keys though? Does someone know?

​@@tomaszsikora6723(ignore this lol) Around 5.000, Matt said it in act 2

That would be 0x40, thank you very much 😉

Program: YOU SHALL NOT PASS Matt: no u Program: ... you know what, that's a valid point. Here's some more obscure clues for you to follow.

the fact that this is not even remotely an uncommon thing to deal with when it comes to computers hurts my soul. You have no fucking idea how many hours I spent before I finally realized that, *_unlike every single other thing in the entire god damn language,_* C Macros are white-space sensitive. I literally lost like 5 straight hours of my life because there was a fucking space before a parenthesis. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was inventing computers, because I refuse to believe anything else in human history has caused more suffering than computers and their BS antics.

indeed, I don't like to think about perfection in life but this video changed my mind

ifkr!! i didn't even realise this was a hour long

I wonder what took longer do to. Figuring out this kinda insane endeavor. Or turning it all into a freaking arthouse movie.

I wouldn't say it's a secret, so much as that it's difficult to significantly compete against alternatives which offer at least a free and open-source compiler toolchain and standard library. Hell, as a retro-hobbyist who picked up a New Old Stock copy of Delphi 2, I'm still reluctant to use it for my creations when I could soldier through with Open Watcom C/C++ so people don't need to eBay or pirate to compile whatever I push to GitHub.

Thank you! Well said! Sincerely, another Delphi developer. :)

Millions seems like a major stretch :)

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!!

@@nolram Why do you think it's a stretch when there are in fact millions of Delphi developers out there?

wait, do people use rust unironically?

@@jailsonmendes6120 yeah?

​@@jailsonmendes6120people use it ironically?

You did such a great job with Rust9x, it's a lot of fun to use!

Fuck rust

This could be helpful

Given future projects at Microsoft have the pattern NxP (.NET Compiler Platform = Roslyn), I would guess that NDP means .NET Developer(?) Platform.

@@ZiggyTheHamster oh so it means .NET Developer Platform Helper

I'm so glad people understand this stuff so I don't have to.

How were you able to look at the kernel? Did it leak at some point?

I was interested in technological side of this video, would've sat, watched, and enjoyed it if it was just a dry explanation of what was done. But the creativity shown here had me hooked on a whole new level. Their was genuine suspense, I was sucked in. Honestly most modern studio produced films don't have the immersion and I'm glued to screen factor that this video does. MattKC you're incredible. Keep doing great things.

i just wish the sketches felt more intertwined, as by the end they felt like interruptions instead of being part of the entire point of the video.

i rlly like mattkc, and expected nothing more than a video where he does this, like his previous videos. This is now my fav youtube video EVER. I hope we will see more.

​@@blazen123that's what all sketches are

@@oz_jones no sketches should not interrupt the flow of the video if they are a major part of it, these do however

It's hard to begin but the point comes when something makes 'click' inside you and you just can't stop until you are finished. Maybe you must have at least some preposition for OCD or similar.

Re: figuring out it was SSE2, he probably just searched up a suitably comprehensive x86 opcode chart and Ctrl+F'd through it for the initial byte of the un-decoded instruction.

Not just some_one,_ *thousands* of mission-critical computers still run Win9x because redeveloping abandoned proprietary code has been cost prohibitive or not legally possible. If more industry apps were open-source, the situation might be different; closed-source code results in massive lost functionality once the rights-holders stop supporting it or change their business model.

@@prophetzarquon1922 but if industry apps were open source it could be more easy to hack too.

When I worked at VMware, the primary reason that Windows 95 was an officially supported guest operating system was the demand from customers who used VMware to run legacy software on contemporary hardware.

Its funny you say that, youd be surprised how many 486 based machines are out in the field still running and useing win9x . the military is one for sure 386 and 486 still out at sea in ships being used to do one specific task and are good at it and continue to do so.

YES! Try my CNC Jr. Milling machine that ran Win3.1 on an IBM clone 80286. I bought it from a lock factory in Virginia in 2006 and immediadely built a new controller because there was no documentation on the card and I wasn't even sure of the bus architecture, I think it's pre- ISA bus. I upgraded to a computer running Win98, Win95's evil descendent.

Its even got proper captions!!!

I wish i could donate to Matt, I'm just broke haha 😢

cinematography masterpiece?

what’s a BYN and why did you give MattKC 20 of them?

Luckily these days you can just use WinRAR or PeaZip, set the encoding (from a drop-down list) and then extract.

I'm such a fan of such hikes

"We literally had a stack of floppy disks because thats the only way to get the data from the win 95." Had a similar dilemma trying to rescue 15 years of Lloyd's Tensile machine data from a '95 box, fortunately it had an old optical drive so I could boot from a Puppy Linux CD which does support USB.

Oh boy, I hope you made a record of each of those items that were migrated, where they came from and where they go because if that machine ever were to be re-imaged… I’ve done a similar project but with a very “throw shit at the wall until it works” approach, got it working but then the machine went kaput before we could image it. Re-creating each step to get that old software working took longer than the first go-around. That was the day I learned creating step-by-step documentation is a vital task in the service of your future self not going insane.

I'm so confused, why did the vendor want $10,000?

So 10.000 usd diveded by a 40hr/ work week…. This guy was charging 250 usd/hour !

Maybe something IPv6 related? NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol) Helper?

Actually, scratch that. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP is where .net lists all the installed .net versions and NDP might be short for ".net Developer Pack" (which is what Microsoft used to call .net's distributable package in development/early on and then of course they couldn't ever change that registry key after that). So ndphlpr.vxd might be some kernel module to help figure out which version of .net is installed?! Not sure why this would need a driver, but it'd fit.

​@@Manawyrm Have you seen when IPv6 was launched?
