Hello everyone ,

We’re excited to share a major milestone from the Win2000_dev_community — we've successfully ported ACPI 2.0/NTOSKRNL Emu_Extender support to Windows 2000!

🎉 This achievement was made possible thanks to the incredible work of @Damnation, along with valuable assistance from Rairii, and valuable contributions from others in the community in testing and debugging issues along the way.

✅ As of now, the following are fully working on Windows 2000:

Windows 7's NVMe driver

Windows 8's USB3 driver

Windows 8’s STORAHCI driver

Windows 7's Storport.sys

KMDF 1.11 support

⚠️ Known Issues:

processr.sys does not function correctly due to differences in CPU throttling mechanisms between Windows 2000 and XP.
▸ This may be caused by the lack of PROCESSOR_STATE_HANDLER2 in Windows 2000 kernel, which only implements PROCESSOR_STATE_HANDLER.

InsydeH2O BIOS is not fully tested yet. Currently, it still presents problems at the "Setup is starting Windows 2000" phase.
