32 bit Windows users needed ...

[MikeB]

Please download the 32 bit Windows binaries ( Honey and company - 10 engines in total ) and see if they work on your 32 bit Windows setup.

Please advise.

Thank you,

I just had a quick look but from that, i'm afraid these are likely not working Mike. Stockfish-022120 does open a command window on my 15 year old system, but I can't enter a command like 'uci' to test anything. Bluefish-022120 also opens a command window but gives a message saying it can not find entrypoint to procedure GetTickCount64 in KERNEL32.dll which makes sense because that is a 64 bit procedure I presume.

I now see, after closing down Bluefish-022120.exe command window, that Stockfish-022120 stopped with the same message about the entrypoint it can't find, so that may be something to look at.

But this is also a very old system, it may not be representative for modern 32 bit systems. Who is still using 32 bit unless very small systems these days.

I actually have an old Q6600 box with Windows XP on it that I use for testing. But even that is 64-bit.

They would not work on WIndows Xp 32 bit -, just Windows 7 32 bit and newer.
Windows Xp is now run on less than 1% of all devices world wide. Official Microsoft support having ended in 2014.
I believe the official Stockfish 32 bit exe still runs on Windows XP - as they purposely downgraded to an older version of MSYS for that compile.

Armenia has the highest % of XP users, with 42% off all users still running XP.

It is the only country with double digit usage of XP.

Interesting, my 32bit Windows is also XP. It seems that people that moved beyond 32bit were likely to move beyond XP, and people that moved beyond XP were likely to move beyond 32bit, so 32bit with modern OS is rare.

Windows XP, 32-bit. All engines show the same error after double clicking on the executables:

Windows XP looks like is not supported in these releases, which agrees with you ('They would not work on WIndows Xp 32 bit -, just Windows 7 32 bit and newer.')... although Windows Vista is also listed, which is older than Windows 7.

Interesting and quite disturbng comment about the "Legendary Windows XP (Pro)" usage..I myself find XP pro quite stable and very useful in engine testing even these days...they seem to forget that stockfish has always produced a x32 compile for most/all of their releases.... results on my XP x32 machine for the 10 engines.....Black Diamond x32 Procedure entry point Get Tickcount64 not located in DLL liabrairy Kernel32.dll
Same error Bluefish...Same error Bluefish FD Same Error Blue Honey...
Same error Honey...Ditto for Honey FD......Ditto for Stockfish 022120
Same for SF FD..Same for weakfish.... Thx AR

Agreed, I never had any problem with Windows XP, still my favorite OS, much better than Win8/8.1 or 10.

Unfortunately, most of the software I just just stopped supporting XP and refused to run, so I was forced to upgrade (I held as much as I could, running old versions that still ran on XP fo several years), but it was the poor decisions of developers, as there was nothing wrong with XP.

Thanks to all for testing -

I am hoping that these binaries work on Windows Xp - all engines are included.

https://github.com/MichaelB7/Stockfish/ ... ws/32bitXP

It's definitely an oxymoron to include WIndows XP binaries under a folder called "BleedingEdgeBinaries" - this is in response to a request, may not be part of my normal routine. So if they work, grab them now.

[mephisto]

Hi Mike

I have tried all your engines on my Certabo board and they all seem to work ok under Windows 10.
