RomiChess P3M

[Michael Sherwin]

I have sent the new compiles to Graham. They tested okay on both my Q6600 running Windows 7 and on my i7 running Windows 10. Why MSVC 2005 running on an i7w10 would produce different code than running on a Q6600w7 is a mystery that i'd like the answer. It just shouldn't be. Maybe someone will be able to answer this question. Please give Graham some time to post the new zip file.

I have no problems with it on my old i7. After a double-click a chessboard appears, and the command prompt.

The problem is a Microsoft created problem. MSVC 2005 links in a dynamic link library from the operating system. The one linked in from Windows 10 is not backward compatible with Windows 7 or Vista. However the dll in Windows 7 is forward compatible with with Windows 10, lol. I'm starting to understand why Bob hates MS Windows so much!

The problem was not sse2. It is compiling RomiChess on my i7 and trying to run it on an older machine. I dusted off my old Q6600 and had the same error. Just to make sure that it was not an optimization error targeting a newer machine I deleted the whole project and compiled from a new project. I got the same error on the older machine. This is annoying but the good news is the new source has been transferred to the old machine and I'll just compile the new version on that machine. I'll send the new compiles asap.

For older computers.

Thanks Graham, Hopefully that will be it for that problem. Looking forward to some results. Unless the results are bad then I'd rather not hear about it, lol. Just kidding!
