I wouldn't even trust it on a VM. If I were to run a custom ISO at all, I would quarantine it to a physically separate host, with absolutely no network access. VMs aren't guaranteed to be the isolated sandbox most people think they are.
Agreed! That's what I would do personally. It should be safer since it's in a VM but if there is an exploit in the VM software itself, it could be a problem.
My apologies, I should've been more clear. I think what I meant to say was that 512MB was the minimum at the time, especially because many people back then had computers with 512MB of RAM.
Interesting. I have a Sony VAIO VGN-FS415E that originally ran Windows XP Home Edition and any modern (32-bit maximum) OS I try to install on it (including Linux) makes it atrocious to use. I'll try installing this custom Windows XP image there and see how it goes.
If you're looking for something light and want to use XP. I would just use a vanilla Windows XP ISO and then use nLite to get rid of stuff in the ISO you don't need.
@@twistyjoygaming422 It sadly didn't go well, the auto driver installer that comes at the second stage of the installation always blue screens the computer when it tries to install the Realtek HD Audio drivers. I assume it's installing the wrong drivers since I do have a DVD that contains the original drivers for this machine. I'm going to re-install the Media Center 2005 Edition instead since it was the version of XP I had running on it for a good while. Though yeah, I could also use nLite to slipstream some updates too and remove anything else but I doubt there's much 'bloatware' to remove from XP since it runs great regardless.
Beats me. It even said it was an ultimate edition of some kind. I guess ultimate in the appearance sense? Well I guess since this was released in 2010, it probably was "ultimate" for the time.
Great video. Have you considered using QEMU with a virtual machine manager on Linux? You can do more with QEMU on Linux than you can with virtual box or VMware.
I heard about QEMU. I will definitely have to try that. It should work with Windows versions from 2000 to 11 no problem. I used to use VMware quite a bit. But since it needed the Vmmon kernel headers. It wouldn't work. I currently use Arch as my daily driver. I think it requires me to install it manually where other distros I used before would have them. But yeah I'll definitely try out QEMU for future videos.
@@twistyjoygaming422 Hey man. Arch user here too, are you by chance using secure boot or lacking the matching linux kernel headers (say if you have linux-zen, you should get the linux-zen-headers package) for your system?
@@Rattle189 Yeah I use the regular kernel. I didn't know the zen kernel had those headers. I'll definitely use the zen kernel headers from this point forward. No wonder Garuda Linux uses it.
@@twistyjoygaming422 Do you have the linux-headers package installed since you're using the regular kernel? You could get that instead, and then re-install VMware and see if it installs the driver then when you reboot it should be working. I also use VMware when I was using Arch 🎉
You know, viruses on windows is not such a big deal especially when you dont go to some janky websites, and also Viruses are rare thing now and even if you get the virus you can just reinstall windows and get rid of the virus
If you guys enjoyed this video, I just released another video. It's about Windows XP Gold.

There's no 3D Pinball! 😡😡
"0/10 to little Pinball" - IGN. But seriously though, yeah I was shocked this didn't have Space Cadet Pinball.
I saw this version all over the place back then when I was torrenting XP
7:02 in 2009-2010, computers had WAY more than 512mb of ram,
XP is from 200, and that is what he is referring to...

That looks less like Windows 7 and more like Vista.
What's the point of this? Like i have no idea why use this instead of windows 7. It really doesn't bring any nostalgia back in my opinion either.

idk i thought it was pretty cool bc i remember growing up hearing about this type of stuff but i never had a pc growing up.

Nice I also use arch Linux
Arch is the best! At least in my opinion.
@@twistyjoygaming422 same for sure it’s definitely very good highly recommend!
