https://sites.google.com/view/clara-incorporated/modernization/windows-xp-sp1/firefox-based-browsers/mypal-68 @Feodor2 and @roytam1 - How do you like my guide?

I do not use sp1 for very very loong time, so may not confirm, but if you make the guide inside your github wiki I can copy it here to the mypal wiki.

@Feodor2 That would be good. And you can add the link to Mypal 68 for XP SP1 on Google Sites instructions to your Mypal 68 readme page.

I made the guide on my Google Sites page.

Just like roytam1 ported Firefox 38 to VC2010 for older processors and older XP by using kernelxp.dll unofficially,

Why not adding a seperate unofficial Mypal68 variant for SSE/SSE2 builds for WIndows XP SP1 unofficialy using mini kernelxp wrappers by roytam1? https://github.com/roytam1/rtoss/tree/master/kernelxp

(gsar.exe, patchk32.bat, kernelxp.dll) are the key for patching. After patching, remove gsar.exe and patchk32.bat, but kernelxp.dll must stay in the mypal folder, or it will not work.

@Feodor2 How about this? I forgot to mention you earlier.

I have no opinion, I told already I do not use it and don't bother to do myself something about. You care so do it yourself

@Feodor2 I have a question is Mypal 74 based on Firefox 74?

I now managed getting Mypal 68 on Windows XP RTM unofficially!

Also,

Windows XP build 2517 is the earliest build to get Serpent 52 and Mypal 68 to work stably unofficially by using kernelxp.dll wrappers by roytam1 and ntdll.dll from XP SP1.

Windows XP build 2509 and earlier don't work because it resulted in The procedure entry point RtlSetThreadDebugOnExit could not be located in the dynamic link library ntdll.dll BSOD.

So probably Windows XP build 2517 introduced RtlSetThreadDebugOnExit on ntdll.dll.
