Alright, so here's a bit of an update on the followup video that I mentioned. I highly recommend checking out NCommander's video that he just released a few days ago as of writing this: ruclips.net/video/3EPTfOTC4Jw/видео.html He does a deep dive down the 64-Bit Pinball rabbit hole. And the story is far more complex than I initially thought. In fact, Raymond's blog post that I cite in this video doesn't give the full picture at all. Though I had essentially come to that conclusion already given that I found a working copy of a 64-Bit Pinball executable, which contradicts what he said about it being cut from 64-Bit Windows. But it goes even deeper than that. NCommander did an outstanding job to the point where I don't feel its necessary for me to finish my planned followup video as his background allowed him to go into far more detail than I could have. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
RUclipsr and former Microsoft software developer Dave Plummer was in charge of porting the third-party 3D Space Cadet Pinball code to x86. He was also responsible for writing Task Manager, ZIP Folders, single-pass DiskCopy (MS-DOS) and CD caching in SmartDrive. I believe he said he left the company around 2002/2005. I'm willing to bet no one else took up the mantle to continue porting it and supporting it.
@@blurem1490 i know, but at the time there wasn't much 64 bit apps so there's no reason to get the 64 bit version since you're gonna use 32 bit apps on it anyways
@RUclips Nutzer I remember when my school computers upgraded from 95 and 98 in a hodgepodge, to all XP in 2003 or 2004. And finally they had some network storage for the students instead of everyone just having their own 3.5” disk to store their work on.
It looks like Microsoft only published one pinball game around that time frame (at least, I searched their list for games with "pinball" in the title and only found two), and it was the full version of 3D Pinball with more tables, so if this was the motivation it doesn't make sense why they would release a free version in the first place.
I did also run this when I blew past the memory limit. Not wanting to take the crap train of Vista and after seeing a friend struggle with it, I decided to go XP and just step up to 64 bit. A great OS, stable, plenty of power and not a lot of issues actually.
64-bit on XP and Vista are not exactly the same. The frameworks in the OS changed a lot. My guess is the 64-bit version of Pinball did work on XP, but not Vista. So they dropped it.
Intel Itanium is really a fun story of how Intel wanted to go 64 bits with no backwards compatibility with x86. Then AMD saved everyone from a big headache with the AMD64. Intel had to take the L and accept AMD model.
@Gaming York why did you say “technically”? when you say technically you’re supposed to be stating a fact but the best windows is personal opinion. Sry if I sound really uptight but it’s one of my pet peeves when people say technically in the wrong setting
Yeah, XP's older look is a bit more intimidating but honestly the install process hasn't changed much in the past 20 years. It's fairly simple, especially if you don't care about the data on the hard disk.
HYPE!!!! I've been waiting for this :) Awww Memories 14:22 wow the build is rare? Wonder if the build I had was even more rare, I still have my email about my download and cd copy I ordered from Microsoft which to get it I only needed to pay postage. They posted me the copy on Friday May 14, 2004 Yeah scrolling back 14:02 compiled 26/07/2004 So yeah the build I was sent had to be older, The build I had I never saw the luna theme in it. Really wish I could find it :( EDIT: After looking at the BetaWiki my build I have\had could've been 3754 or older because the compile date listed on the site is newer than the order and shipment email I still have back when I ordered my evaluation copy. 20:20 I really want to know ... So i'm waiting :)
mabbe David Plummer(Dave's garage) would have an idea considering he did the original port of pinball to NT however I bet if you copied that folder with the pinball install to a x64 Vista install you would get the problems that Raymond described
I remember installing a beta copy of XP x64 on a Socket 754 system I had back in 2004. Might have even been this one because I remember it had the XP 64-bit Edition boot splash. I still have an off-screen photo I took of it at the time.
I often forget that there as an x64 edition of XP. Though i do personally know a music producer who used it for YEARS, all the way to the very end of support of regular XP itself. Very interesting to see that theres copies of it floating around
Windows XP was first operating system i had. Soon, i was with Windows 7. And now, i am with windows 10. The childhoods in Windows XP. 3D Pinball. It was my favorite game.
I can't believe it took me this long to learn the "64-bit" release, not the x64 release, was for Itanium. So many things I've heard or read in the past about that release that just didn't make sense at the time now suddenly do.
David Plummer (from Dave's Garage on RUclips) could probably shed some light on the pinball space cadet question. Was it really a 64-bit compiling issue that led to it being dropped from Vista if it existed for XP 64? Dave is the guy who ported the game to Windows NT originally and had to rewrite large portions of it to make it more portable as pure C code instead of ASM, since Windows NT had support for many architectures like MIPS and DEC Alpha. To me that makes doubtful that compiling a 64 but version was the real reason.
i remember how buggy this was. i use to use it as my main os back in the day. and another fun bug it had was if ram was larger than 6 gig aka 7gig ~ 8gig+ it would blue screen constantly. its so finicky but was fun and cool when it was stable at some point.
I greatly enjoyed the Rickroll and the vast rabbit hole it led me down. Yet I wonder, is it really a bait and switch if one already expects such. I searched the link provided because of your stance on gray and especially illegal means and was curious what trick you had in store. Good fun.
I installled XP Pro 64 on my VMware and everytime i put a USB Stick into it it freezes, When i unplug it than XP runs normal. Question: whats the issue?
They could mean major issue working with the code getting it to be bug-free. I would imagine that the bugs you run into were also run into by beta testers or Microsoft themselves, and they decided that it made more business sense to remove the buggy 64-bit build rather than invest time in continuing to track down bugs in someone else's code.
I used to have an XP x86_64 computer back in the day as my dad got it for me. I had no idea back in the day what that even meant but now I’m a developer/owner of a software business. Thank you dad you really did spark my curiosity 😅
Well, technically XP32 supports 8GB (or more) but it was disabled due to a conflict with an Intel video driver. But everything runs faster on 64bit, so if you can run it, why not? [I've done benchmarks 32bit vs 64bit on the same hardware... x64 is about 3x as fast.]
Watching on my 64 bit Laptop. It’s always great to see it in action since Microsoft has planned to for the upcoming Vista designed for both 32 and 64 bit computers. However I didn’t like the vista but XP is a legend. Edit: I know why XP is the first 64 bit release before Vista and according to me, this x64 edition might be designed for AMD 64 bit processors before Intel.
@@kaitlyn__L the only people who "like" vista are kids who run it on their modern computers through vmware and parrot the same old "oh install sp2 it makes it better blah blah"...
Nice! I remember being excited for no reason when I switched my Compaq with an Athlon 64 over to XP 64-bit, and finding out very quickly that it wasn't such a good idea! Finding drivers was not fun
Indeed, drivers are always hard to find on newer OS versions, when I was in college I was the only one with a vista laptop, and running college software wasn't fun 🤣
This kind of collision in the code was made during Big Bang and that created everything what we know and see today ;). I know this is a brave theory...
i debated on getting windows xp 64 bit back in the day (professional ofc) but there was alot of misinformation back in the day and since i was a kid i thought that 32 bit apps and games would have serious compatibility issues with the 64bit version of windows, so even though i had 4 gigs of ram i went with the 32bit version, still wish i had that 64 bit version now that im not a dumb ass kid and i know better haha.
Space Cadet was dropped from Vista because the original engineer at Cinematronics did not comment the source code. Microsoft didn't carry over the 32-bit version because there were bugs that were unresolved and they felt it was too unpolished to ship with Vista.
THANK YOU! I have wanted to experiment with XP x64 for the longest time, but the no HDD detected error threw me off for the longest time. This is odd because the x86 version detects SATA drives just fine.
Still my favourite Windows. I have an extra copy that I never used. Will probably installed it on a side computer not needing to be connected to the Internet. Just a fun back up computer for files. PS: I started with MS-DOS (with no mouse just keyboard commands) then later moved on to Windows 3.0 and onwards. I've used the following Windows: - Win 3.0, Win 95, Win 98, Win XP, Win 7, Win 8, Win 8.1, Win 10 and Win 11.
space cadet was originally a 16bits program. Microsoft made it 32bits, also windows 9X and Xp's binaries are different, so they did something to it for XP.
I'm courious as to IF XP can be installed and run my various video games from Steam for instance better or worse than I can now using the windows 11 I've got now. My PC was two years ago, a top of the line in regards to gaming pc. My usage of a PC is only for the purpose of gaming and searching the internet. I've got a no last mile fiber opice connection with 250 Mb download, 125Mb upload and only 3 ping rate. Should I update to the new version of XP.
