Bootleg of the Month

Neko Ghost XP SP3

Neko Ghost XP SP3 is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Ngoc Khanh. It released on May 11, 2013, and was added to the archive on December 31, 2023.

This bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 Professional distribution, it comes with programs, themes, wallpapers and a new icon set, as well as a new setup engine with a Chinese Easy DriverPacks selector tool with version 5.3.1.2 (which contain driverpacks).

It is packaged in the Ghost image format as with version 11.5.1, which has to be restored through a separate Norton Ghost utility. Since the bootleg does not come with its own Norton Ghost utility, you will have to use your own copy to install this bootleg.
