XP64 SP2 + post SP2 update pack Gigabyte B450 Aorus M F52 BIOS AGESA 1.0.0.6 (original F41 AGESA 1.0.0.3 also worked), (booted to XP64 on a different PC with F62d, so maybe Zen3 as well?) Ryzen Zen2 Matisse CPU Issues Restart does not work with XP/XP64 with any of the acpis when using a PS2 keyboard. Have to manually push the restart button. Shutdown works fine. Workaround, use USB keyboard after it is installed (or integrate backported USB3 driver) BIOS Gigabyte B450 Aorus M BIOS settings So I noticed that by default virtualization (AMD-V) aka "SVM" was disabled by default. BIOS > MIT > Advanced Freq Settings > Advanced CPU Settings > SVM Mode Enabled & CoolNQuiet Enabled BIOS > MIT > XMP Profile 1 BIOS > BIOS > CSM Support Enabled & Fastboot Disabled & Full Logo Disabled You can also enable a PPT limit on the CPU lower than default. Lose a little bit of performance for a nice drop in heat.

First versions were based on longhorn 5048 with some BSODs patched. There was a x86 version based on the original XP acpi with new instructions patched in assembly as well (6666).

Version 4173 (KB943545) or newer. You can also use the postSP2 update pack. Tested with a Samsung PM981 and storport 5.2.3790.4485. -Version 1.3 works. Version 1.5 stalled in the TXT setup just before format partition page. -Use MBR for boot drive. Native XP/XP64 does not boot from GPT. -Use NTFS. FAT32 starts install but hangs in the GUI setup halfway through Installing Devices. -No SMART data from CrystalDiskInfo, SMART with HWiNFO.

But you get a Code 39 error. To fix, you will have to copy usbd.sys to your \system32\drivers folder for a live system. You can also modify the inf file in two spots to also copy over the usbd.sys file when it copies over the driver sys file like the amdxhc31.sys or amdhub31.sys. Use can decompress the usbd.sy_ file from your ISO or extract latest version from an unofficial service pack.

NVME Samsung Option3: 3.3.0.2003 Backport the Samsung NVME driver. secnvme.sys and secnvme.sys imports need to be changed to NTOSKRN8.SYS like with the other drivers. No SMART with CrystalDiskInfo but it does work with HWiNFO. I only have a Samsung NVME so havent tested if the generic works with other brands. Chipset Drivers (null) DEV790B FCH SMBus Controller Null driver. Download an old 13.4 XP/XP64 chipset pack from AMD or get Windows 7 for the B450 chipset.

DEV1485/148A Starship/Matisse Reserved SPP/PCIe Dummy Function According to the readme this should also be a null driver. Unlike the SMBus and IOMMU, this one has a sys file that tries to install. Update inf to add DEV1485 and DEV148A. ACPI\AMDI0030 Install null driver to remove from missing devices Extra Stuff VMware and USB flash drive passthrough When using VMware, if you connect a USB flash drive and try to pass it through to the guest OS, you will need to use a USB port that is using the generic backported USB driver in the host OS. It does not work then using the AMD USB31_PT 1.0.5.3 chipset drivers from the motherboard. From the article it looks like other motherboard specific drivers will have the same issue with a few exceptions. Once you get the Win8 USB3 up and running, you can replace the AMD motherboard USB drivers. https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2041591 Tested with: XP64host with VM10.0.7(last XP version) and Win7x64host with VM10.0.7 & 15.5.6(last Win7 version). Testing passthrough with a Kingston USB2.0 flash drive works fine. But when connecting a Kingston USB3.0 flash drive vmware gets a "unable to connect to ideal host", and the drive does not load properly in the WinXP guest OS. VMware and USB3.0 flash drive If you change the USB compatibility in vmware in Settings from 2.0 to 3.0, then install the backported generic drivers to the XP guest OS, it will work properly. Note that the vm image hardware compatibility mode has to be 8 or higher, if you are using an image set to 6.5-7.x mode or lower then the USB 3.0 drop down menu will not show up.
