Hello,
Fisrt of all, I want to thank you guys for making such a wonderful application!!!

But lately I'm experiencing a strange issue - when I run auto patcher updater, I no longer see XP64 in the list with updates. I'm using Superior XP64 Mod, so that could be it, but I'm sure it was working before with some of the previous versions of AP (XP64 updates were seen as (BETA) but it was working anyway).
Is there a way to make them visible again? If someone could help me, it'll be greatly appreciated!
If there's any information I need to give - just let me know!

Thanks In Advance,
Bobby

Hi,
Welcome to the forums.
First off the X64 script was taken off main list because its in works. You can try out the test version of XP x64 by going HERE. Its still beta but, its 99% done. Might make it official in the next few days.

Second... I was curious about this Superior XP64 Mod so I looked it up but, all I could find is a blog with the last post of 3 years ago. Care to share what it is? I am interested as I use XP x64 as my OS although, I am hoping to move to Win 7 soon since I need DX11 for the newer games.

Heeey, Thanks for the really FAST reply!!!
I'll try the script in a few minutes!!!

About the Superior Mod:
I'm using it as my main OS for audio/video recording/editing and image editing as well.
For me it's very very fast and stable (performance wise), much better than Win7 or out-of-the-box WinXP64. Payed a couple of games on it also, no issues there (Batman: Arkcham Asylum and Arkham City, Alice: Madness Retursn, Red Faction) although I used Dx9, never tried the Dx10 for XP mod.
It's a bit outdated, yes, the final release is from june 2009, but it works like a charm for me and my needs. Bad thing is it has a problem when trying to install it on a virtual machine (i didn't manage to). Also, it won't work with newer sata storage devices, unless you slipstream/F6 load the drivers, or work in a legacy/compatibility mode for the controller (from BIOS setup).
If you ask me, you should give it a try if you use your PC for some serious CPU eating work. I doubt it will be better for games than Win7, since you won't get dx11 working, and I'm not sure that even dx10 games will work without issues with the modded dx10 installer).

Here's the description that comes with it (I tried to upload the file, but it didn't work):

Spoiler

Superior XP64 Last Revival Edition is recommended over all older XP64 releases.
This is not "warez", no files are "cracked" in this OS and everything guaranteed
virusfree. Don't pay for this download. Don't trust other sources of this OS.
Upload was done on ThePiratebay, h33t and demonoid.

This is a clean SECURE thoroughly tested A/V & IT Expert's version of XP64.
Built upon Windows XP Professional x64 Edition retail SP2 (NT 5.2.3790.3959).
With inline *corporate* Volume License Key, so this release passes the
"Windows Genuine Advantage" checks, and a product key is NOT needed (see
\\AMD64\\WINNT.SIF on the iso if you need the key for Virtual installs). Have
a key of your own? Try this: http://magicaljellyb...inder/old.shtml
Windows XP x64 supports up to 128GB of RAM !
This Windows version is designed to work with 64-bit processors from AMD and
Intel that support the x64 extensions to the x86 architecture. These include
Athlon 64, Athlon 64 FX, Mobile Athlon 64, Turion 64, Opteron processors from
AMD, and all Xeon, Pentium 4, Dual, Quad & 8 Core Intel setups with EM64T.
This XP is Multilingual User Interface ready (ALL Languages/Keyboard types!),
and is more complete than earlier releases, including Outlook Express and IE8 !
If you are a beginner, at least make sure your system is really safe:
https://www.xs4all.n...heid/checklist/
This XP64 is intended for those who - like us - prefer a Classic minimal
approach, those who prefer OpenOffice, do audio- or video-editing, creative
and developing work, and/or those who generally wouldn't share their PC/laptop
with other users. You can however create new users and switch between them.
If you're the type that feels at home being Administrator
*all the time*, then this will be a Superior OS for you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS (read before installing!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A fresh Install is recommended. Repair or Upgrade of existing Windows installs
has not been tested, but functionality for running setup.exe is 100% available!
IMPORTANT:
If you want to put SXP64 on a SSD, make sure you pre-align the partition:
http://www.ocztechno...656&postcount=3
(Do this *before* you use the SXP64 install DVD..)
Power on your PC/laptop, press the button for the system to enter BIOS.
Make sure your mainboard BIOS Version is up-to-date.
Set Power Management (ACPI) to Enabled in BIOS.
Change the Boot sequence to DVD (CDROM) first, then Save and Exit BIOS.
'Press any key' when asked to boot with the DVD, and after about 5 minutes
you can Quick-Format the desired storage partition for SXP64 to NTFS.
-> You only need to boot from DVD once, don't press a key at the next boot !
-> The system is set to CET and Euro usage, but can be changed during setup.
You will be prompted for the Regional Settings. ALL files for Keyboards,
internationalization, input-languages are available, MUI support available!
-> Don't take out your DVD before installation is finished. Give the computer
sufficient time to decide what it must do, a good setup takes some time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is this version of XP really "Superior" to others ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you buy XP x64 Edition from Microsoft you'll get a rather old CD. So you
go to the Windows Update website and find out you need to update your system
with hundreds of patches, new drivers and so on. This update-process creates a
lot of extra slack on your harddisk, backups of previous versions of numerous
system-files and drivers, and roll-back options you'll never use, remain there.
Superior XP (SXP64) already has the latest versions of system-files built-IN,
ALL official XP x64 updates released until June 10 2009 are fully integrated!
Some parts of the original Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition were
bound to go wrong for most users, or were never being used, so these facts have
been considered creating SXP64, causing the removal of many files and updating
of the registry. All is improved in so many ways that it warranted a freshly
created install image to get better speeds and a more reliable daily workflow.
If your CPU and motherboard support x64 (64 bit), then this might
very well be the fastest Desktop/Workstation system you can find!
What also makes this install-image superior is the fact that many storage media
controller drivers are already integrated. This means you can install this OS
directly on new RAID/S-ATA/AHCI and SSD hardware without trouble or errors.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADDED ITEMS & FEATURES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I n t e g r a t e d (pre-installed) into this XP64 release :
- Mozilla Firefox 3.0.10, with add-ons ConfigMania and AdBlockPlus
- Flash-player
- Shockwave
- Sun Java JRE 6u14 i586 & x64
- Internet Explorer 8 (plus all security updates and some settings we prefer)

- Quicktime Lite 2.90
- K-Lite Codec Pack (klmcodec485)
- PSPad (5/12/2009) -> Brilliant freeware Text Editor, replacing Notepad.
Better than Editpad, textpad, notepad2 or notepad++
( notepad.exe is still there, under folder \\Base\\ )
- Total Commander 7.04a (king of filemanagers, with 7zip and iso-mount plugins)
- WinRAR 3.9 x64
- JKDefrag64 (replaces the Disk Defragmentation tool from MS)
- ERUNT -> Auto-backups state of registry, this crucial tool in essence
replaces System Restore, and works a LOT better! Info on using ERUNT:
http://www.larsheder...erunt/erunt.txt
- Autoruns (right-click My Computer) -> Much better than using MSConfig
- PuTTy -> 64 bit SSH client, replacing telnet and hyperterminal.
- DirectX 9.26.1590 (64 bit & 32 bit)
Note that DirectX 10 for XP64 (plus a 9-10 Switcher tool)
can be found via the \\Superior\\ folder on your Desktop !

* Embedded Theme from “Windows Embedded Standard CTP Refresh.”
* Energy Blue Theme Pack from Kelsenellenelvian's True Royale Addon.
* Royale Noir from Kelsenellenelvian's Royale Noir addon.
* Tablet PC Style adapted from MrNxDmX's Tablet PC Style Energy Blue Theme
Addon Pack with WMP10 Skin & Fedora Inverse.

* Windows Aero Shadow mouse pointer scheme from Windows Vista.
(note that wallpapers have been replaced by some of our own)
UXTheme.dll has been patched, you can install any theme you want!
- Some more gorgeous unique Desktop Wallpapers included.
- Useful extra Fonts and Cursors!
We really LOVE these effective and lightweight cursors. And we work with this
font-set because these are the ones we prefer. We've seen too many systemfonts
not to know what's best for us. We also think the desktop background is really
cool and warm and has depth. We don't want fancy-###### useless bullshit on our
screens, we need our machines to work for us, deliver quality and save time,
not be paintings on the wall. So, still think we could give a rats ###### about
YOUR taste? Please design your own OS and push out your (ugly) preferences.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AFTER INSTALLATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-> Most of you need the .NET Framework install - 2.0/3.0 SP2 + 3.5 SP1
which is on the DVD/iso ( under folder \\dot.NET\\ ).
Simply Double-Click the .bat file in that folder and installation follows!
-> This OS boots without any graphics, because it's FASTER that way!
If you prefer the normal GUI stuff, take out /noguiboot /sos
from the boot-line in boot.ini
-> Commit Charge (Memory footprint) right after installation is ~120 MB !
-> Check the folder "Superior" on your desktop for lots of handy stuff,
like -for example- a file to set all XP x64 services to their Defaults.

There is a HUGE worldwide userbase supporting XP Pro x64 Edition,
for further updating, maintenance and advice, do check out these:

It turns out that a wide range of known applications, like those for Audio-
and Video- editing, encoding, mixing, muxing, BluRay/HD viewing and production,
as well as many scientific and no-nonsense apps used by media-professionals
and experts, in general, often perform faster and more efficient in XP64
than they do in Vista or Windows 7. Go XPx64 and make it better known!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MISC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This OS has many sophisticated registered tweaks applied. View the file
"X64_2009.REG" in "/Base/" on your system disk for details.
Or go to http://paste2.org/p/251760
- Max Half-open Connections limit for TCP has been raised to 8192.
- Hibernate = disabled, but still usable.

This SuperiorXP64 OS auto-logs on with:
username: Administrator
password: june2009
You can create your own auto-logon using TweakUI, which can be found
in the folder \\dot.NET\\ Tweakui needs to be installed first. ;-)
After that: Start Menu > Programs > Powertoys for Windows > etc. )

Enjoy!

Hi guys

Supx64 is awesome, i have the Feb2009 release..
I have silpstreamed the new Sata and ÏNF drivers from Intel.. no probs , with new Mboards running in ACHI mode.
I do a lot of Photo editing , on the SupX64 PC.. and make heaps of TIFF and JPEG files from RAW Images. i like the XP File icons etc...easy to see..

SupX64 supports Perfect Prealined Partitions, made by using Paragon 11 and 12 Server editions..
No unallocated sections, before, between and at the end of Partitions!! like WinXP64
If one prealines a HDD, and installs WINXP64 SP2, it won't reboot, after a install ,just blinks at a blank screen, the prealined Partitions go out of alinement...and can't find the Partition..SUPX64 dosen't do this..and really Fly's with the Partitions Perfectly Aligned..
.

The only Prob, i have with it,,, is the Auto Logon,,, can't remove it..i just want it to go into windows, with no window...appearing..

Cheers
Rick

Sure appears to be a pirated OS, everyone and his grandma downloading and installing it, corporate key, passes WGA - hmm!

[Rick54]

I call it a MODIFIED Version!!! lol
You can change the Key , and use your own Key if you want to..
or better still, slipstream your own key with NLITE...

But one thing i would like to know is , what was in the soup, that makes SUPX64 , work with prealined
partitions???
Does anyone here, know???

Cheers
Rick

[Whatacrock]

Whatever you want to call it -- modified or otherwise.... there is to be no further discussion of it here.. CONSIDER THIS A WARNING : NO MORE ON THE SUBJECT.....
