finally got fallout 3 working on the xp x64 rig. another legacy game added to the library.
ill be installing suse 9.3 pro x64 at some point. 2nd hdd is ready for it (300gb raw) & i also seperated an ntfs partition (200gb) because metin2 requires a D:/ drive for map assets in world editor

all systems go. xp x64 fully working on the am1I (which doesnt support xp), freebsd 12 is running the server on an n3350 board. client works ok; ill have to rebuild on xp (client was built with vs22, no good for me!)
but everything is working. ready for development & all housed in a mini itx!

after 6~ hours of installing every revision of driver known to humanity i finally solved it! the trick was to enable uefi network stack (but disable pxe) which forces the nic to load its eeprom and power the phy. without it it remains in a low state and xp cant initalize it.

my 12v 10a transformer finally arrived so now i have 120w of power, finally. just on the cusp at around 115w. both displays work great. now to spend 6 years trying to find drivers that work! 🤣

building today but not computers or software. trying to make this raised veg patch look nicer. everything here is reclaimed. im also laying a 20ftx9ft indian sandstone patio, which is going to be the only "new thing" in our garden. should be finished by winter ready for our handfasting in may 2026!

modded a cable from a spare molex to 4pin fan cable and old usb cable. now both the case fans work in my dual hybrid y2k rocket complex build with the exhaust being externally powered by usb. wanted to have both running from the board but may have tipped over 120w.
works a treat, problem solved

it lives! to an extent.. i need to buy a 12v 10a plug as mine is only 12v 2a so anything apart from idling causes it to shut down as it cant draw enough power. i will order one on friday. been a long build this one but it has been fun. :)

tinkering with my dual rig tonight.
an ode to the 2000s... xp x64 + freebsd x64 in an isolated environment, for development purposes of course. just mounted the switch. getting the k2000D in there was a pain too but its done, just waiting on a picopsu now.

my custom corne keyboard build. alphabetical characters use linear drinkey purple switches. control, numerical and symbol keys use tactile drinkey blue switches.
lovely for vim!
