!! Windows XP
! ROMs
You will need the following ROM files: (THESE ARE CASE-SENSITIVE!)
File: 6BX.F2a

SHA-1: 637e1b3863694ffd15a40585fd563329be3873d4
Put this in the folder {{~/.pcem/roms/ga686bx/}}. If there is a file called {{flash.bin}} in this folder, then delete it.
The GPU also needs a ROM file:
File: 3k12sd.rom
MD5: ecc400ecd2fd7e5e4efd11f4bf837afd
SHA-1: 2825b702633553c7a7a3daea98b56f67bd016030
Put this in the folder {{~/.pcem/roms/voodoo3_3000/}}.
Finally, the sound card needs a ROM file:
File: awe32.raw
MD5: 30b76c45ca0712418239d2b15c65881a
SHA-1: 6ac3c1317c1acb83902397d7767763cca4de357a
Put this in the folder {{~/.pcem/roms/}}.
! Windows XP CD
You will need this specific CD for Windows XP SP3 Home Edition.
File: en_windows_xp_home_with_service_pack_3_x86_cd_x14-92413.iso

Will probably need more but we can release a version later with more stuff if people need something.

%%TAB_END
Once this is made, find the config that you just named in {{~/.pcem/configs/}} and open it in a text editor. Set {{cdrom_drive = 200}} and set {{cdrom_path = /path/to/en_windows_xp_home_with_service_pack_3_x86_cd_x14-92413.iso;/path/to/windowsxp-utilities.iso}}, substituting in the proper paths for the XP and utilities CDs.
In {{~/.pcem/pcem.cfg}}, set {{confirm_on_stop_emulation = 0}}.
! NVR
This chipset does not pull the default NVR from a file - just make sure that in {{~/.pcem/nvr/}} there is no NVR named after your config file (e.g. if your config is named {{windowsxp}}, delete any file called {{windowsxp.ga686bx.nvr}}.)
If you've launched the machine before, you'll need to delete the {{.nvr}} file as well as {{~/.pcem/roms/ga686bx/flash.bin}}.
! libTAS movie file
At this point, you can run the verification movie if you want our exact hashes:
* [EmulatorResources/PCem/Windows#WindowsXpInstallationMovie]
Note that libTAS 1.4.4 and older has a memory leak caused by OSD in long movies, so you'll need to disable it in ''Video -> OSD''.
! Setting up BIOS
Now you can boot up your configuration. On the bootup screen, press the {{Delete}} key to go to the BIOS menu. Select ''BIOS Features Setup'' and press {{Enter}}, and you will see this screen:
[https://files.tasvideos.org/common/Wiki/pcem/windows/configurations/BIOSSetup.png]
Go down to ''Boot Sequence'' and use {{PageUp}}/{{PageDown}} to select ''C,CDROM,A''. This will allow you to boot from the XP CD at first because the hard drive is blank, and then when the hard drive becomes bootable it will use that instead. Press {{Escape}} and then select ''Save & Exit Setup'' on the main menu. Press {{Y}} and then {{Enter}} at the prompt.
! Formatting hard drive
When the PC reboots, just wait and it will automatically boot from the XP CD. Once it's done loading you will see this screen:
[https://files.tasvideos.org/common/Wiki/pcem/windows/configurations/XPSetupStart.png]
Press {{Enter}} to continue, and press {{F8}} to agree to the license agreement.
The setup will now partition and format the hard drive for you.
[https://files.tasvideos.org/common/Wiki/pcem/windows/configurations/CreatePartition.png]
Press {{Enter}} to partition the unpartitioned space.
[https://files.tasvideos.org/common/Wiki/pcem/windows/configurations/FormatPartition.png]
Select ''Format the partition using the FAT file system'', press {{Enter}}, and then press {{Enter}} again to format the partition.
! XP installation
Once the formatting is done, it will start copying files over. This will take a while.
[https://files.tasvideos.org/common/Wiki/pcem/windows/configurations/CopyingFiles.png]
When it's done copying files, the PC will reboot and put you into the proper installer. It will install some more things, and then put you on this screen.
[https://files.tasvideos.org/common/Wiki/pcem/windows/configurations/RegionalScreen.png]
We will be installing language packs so languages like Japanese will appear correctly. Click ''Customize...'' and go to the ''Languages'' tab.
[https://files.tasvideos.org/common/Wiki/pcem/windows/configurations/LanguagePacks.png]
Check both options in this window. When it pops up a message about hard drive space, just click ''OK''. Once both of these options are checked, click ''OK''. Wait for it to install the packs. Once it's done, you can click ''Next''.
[https://files.tasvideos.org/common/Wiki/pcem/windows/configurations/XPName.png]
Put {{TAS}} and {{TASVideos}} for ''Name'' and ''Organization'' respectively, and click ''Next''.
[https://files.tasvideos.org/common/Wiki/pcem/windows/configurations/KeyScreen.png]
On the product key screen, do not put in a key! Click ''Next'' and it will pop up a window asking you if you want to enter your product key now. __Click ''No'' on this.__ This will allow you to have a 30 day trial before you need to enter one. On the ''Computer Name'' screen, just click ''Next''.
[https://files.tasvideos.org/common/Wiki/pcem/windows/configurations/TimeZoneScreen.png]
On the time screen, select ''(GMT) Greenwich Mean Time'' for the time zone and uncheck the daylight savings box. Don't worry about the time and date, libTAS will inject its own time. Click ''Next''.
[https://files.tasvideos.org/common/Wiki/pcem/windows/configurations/InstallingWindows.png]
The installer will now take a while to finish up the installation. Enjoy the Windows XP fun facts!
[https://files.tasvideos.org/common/Wiki/pcem/windows/configurations/AdjustResolution.png]
Once it's done installing, it will reboot again. Press ''OK'' to adjust the screen resolution and it will go up to 800 x 600. Press ''OK'' again after it's changed.
[https://files.tasvideos.org/common/Wiki/pcem/windows/configurations/PleaseWait.png]
At this point, PCem is known to cause Windows XP to freeze sometimes, causing the following [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-box_experience|OOBE] sequence to never show up. If that happens, just reboot the machine and you'll get into the [#SoundBlasterInstallation|usual Windows XP desktop environment] which works normally.
[https://files.tasvideos.org/common/Wiki/pcem/windows/configurations/FirstSetup.png]
It will then play a little video and put you on this screen. Click ''Next''.
[https://files.tasvideos.org/common/Wiki/pcem/windows/configurations/WindowsUpdate.png]
Click ''Not right now'' for automatic updates and click ''Next''.
[https://files.tasvideos.org/common/Wiki/pcem/windows/configurations/UserNames.png]
Enter ''TAS'' for your name and click ''Next''. Click ''Finish'' on the next screen.
[https://files.tasvideos.org/common/Wiki/pcem/windows/configurations/XPDesktop.png]
Once it's done loading everything, you'll be booted out to this familiar desktop.
