    In a previous video, we installed Windows XP Mode inside of a Windows 7 VM. Today, we're taking things a step further. We're going to be attempting to install Windows ME inside of XP Mode, which is already running in a Windows 7 VM on my Windows 10 PC. Let's see what I got myself into.

    I am aware of the “How do I shutdown” link in the help documentation. I even went into it in the original cut of this video, but edited it out as I felt at the time this pertained to regular VMs and not XP mode. After going into it again it does tell you to press control alt delete and press the shut down button, which actually works in XP mode. So you are able to shut down XP Mode just like any other VM.

    When doing this, you could take care to see to it that you have nested vt-d enabled. It essentially allows for recursive *hardware* virtualization. It has a much, much, muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch lighter impact, since it actually uses the page table functionality for emulation and can execute instructions directly.

    I don't think your biggest performance hit is the RAM, it's the fact that you have the host(XP) and client(ME) sharing CPU resources on the same core. I'm interested in seeing if there would be a performance boost by switching the XP VM from Virtual PC to either VMware Player or Virtual Box where you can dedicate cores to the VMs. So if you gave Windows 7 4 cores, you'll give Windows XP 2 cores and Windows ME 1 core.

    You could just have shut down the XP-Mode VM using the command line shutdown.exe... To speed things up, you could prepare the VMs on your host machine. Just install Virtual Box there (or use the portable version) and transfer the hard disk file into the vm when everything is installed and running. And give the VMs a lot more RAM. Nested virtualization really suffers from swapping. So you want to avoid swapping within your nested VMs as much as possible.

    I wouldn’t use XP mode for this task. Download Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 instead. You’ll need a retail XP and do all the regular setting up stuff users are required to do, but at least you’ll have more control over the virtual hardware settings and assign more RAM. Still, I’d love to see getting all previous Windows versions installed. They’ll be so many layers of VMs it’ll be like a virtual ogre.

    I think this is possible because those older VirtualBox versions used "binary translation" to do the emulation. This means no hardware virtualization features were used. The emulator worked more like cross-architecture emulators, for example the mame/mess game emulators. It looked at the machine language code, and 'translated' this into some other machine language code, which was what actually got run by your machine.
    So, all the spooky magic happened in that translation step, i.e., not letting the virtual machine run amok and break your host (as you can imagine, this was hard to make into a super-safe, rock-solid isolation layer, the way hardware-based emulators are supposed to be, nowadays). Early versions of vmware (before vmware was an astronomically expensive "framework" -- later the initial "vmware" product was rebranded as "vmware workstation") worked this same way... I believe, going all the way back to its origins as someone's doctoral dissertation or something like that.
    BTW, I happened to stumble across the changelog just yesterday and Oracle just removed that translation-based execution mode from the VirtualBox product in the most recent release (6.1, if I'm not mistaken).

    Instead of XP Mode in Virtual PC, use Windows XP in Virtualbox or VMware on Windows 7.

    • @RobertPendell
      @RobertPendell 4 года назад +1

      Yup. You can actually use the disk image from XP Mode for this. I know that VMware supported importing it directly and actually setup specific settings to enable most of the integration that VPC supplied.

    There is a couple of ways you could shutdown that virtual machine that I can think of, when in the machine go to system32 and run the shutdown.exe if its not there copy it to the machine,
    But also there was a blue help option in settings under ram saying "how to shutdown" which you could check :)

  • @yafilmDOTcom
    @yafilmDOTcom 4 года назад +1

    Regarding 10:20 "not knowing how to shut down Windows XP in Windows XP mode because the Shutdown button is missing: I would say that invoking the run box by pressing "Win Key + R" and then typing the following on the RUN box: shutdown -s -t 0 should force it to shut down. By the way the "-s" part tells the shutdown command to shutdown the computer, if you wanted to restart it you would use "-r" instead, the "-t 0" command tells the shutdown command to shut it down right away instead of waiting for the default 60 seconds if you did not use the "-s 0" command. the "0" part can be replaced by any second for example, if you want the shutdown command to execute the command in 2 minutes you would type "-t 120" for 120 seconds. There is no limit to the number of seconds you can use allowing you to run a command hours later if you like.
    If you would like to cancel a shutdown command you can invoke the run box again and type: shutdown -a and press enter. "-a" cancels the shutdown command.
    * If invoking the RUN box is not possible under XP mode, then you can run the CMD prompt by either finding it under accessories/system tools in the start menu or by going the long way and searching for it on c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe and under the cmd prompt you can run the same command and it should work just fine.

    20:52 I only saw memes and heard myths that Windows ME crashes even during installation now I saw it XD
    Am not sure of this, but I think the Windows 9x lineup does not support virtualization and hence no VM Manager exists for Windows ME or older, only existing for Windows 2000 and higher (NT Lineup), you'd have to sort to emulation which is even more slower than virtualization.

    That should work. If not, sign out and there may be an option called, “shutdown”

    Sorry to torture you here, but windows ME has a virtual machine software called boches, so technically, it's possible to go down to windows 98 or 95. Also, I've done quite a bit of VM In Vm experiments over the years and I've concluded that windows can descend in this order:
    Windows 10
    Windows 8
    Windows 7
    Windows Vista
    Windows XP
    Windows 2k
    Windows 98
    Windows NT 4
    Windows 95
    Here is a list of VM software for every release of windows that I used
    Windows 10 VirtualBox 6
    8- XP Virtualbox 5
    2k Virtualbox 1.5.0
    98 VMware 1.0.4 or boches 2.6
    Windows NT 4 an old version of VMware I can't remember or find which one

  • @ehs03y3ol

    It's going to be a hard time getting a working x86 emulator for Windows 9x. The first kernel accelerated emulator compatible-Windows is KQemu. I know that is possible to run old version of Qemu inside of any Windows 9x (as it can run on any plataform like PSP), but it will take a hard time porting. Remember: DOSBOX runs on Windows 9x and it is possible to install Windows 95 on it...

    You clearly did beat me, I did use 'Windows NT 4.0'-VM and 'Windows 3.0/MS-DOS 6.0'-VM on 'Ubuntu Mate 19.10'-VM on my Ubuntu 19.10 host. I did install those Windows VMs long long ago and now I just copied it to the right folders on the vdi disk. Peace of cake, just allow nested virtualization in the VM and changed the Host key for the next level :)
    I like to try to store all VMs in the shared folder, but that might only work for the first two levels. A shared folder of a shared folder might not be allowed :) However using SAMBA it should work.

    simply use cmd in admin and type "shutdown /s" for regular shutdown and "shutdown /r" for restarts
    as some updates require an OS reload and some software as well in xp mode it simply hides the button as it wants the faster restore of hibernate rather than allowing you to actually shut down as a layman
    any of the obscure shutdown methods will work, and you may actually be able to enforce a shutdown command in the host hypervisor window which acts like a network shutdown to the guest os
    yeah sometimes silly things are done in the name of making it harder for noobs to do unintended things
