Scorpio Error Message

[mhalstern]

I just downloaded scorpio-25-64-ja.exe. When I launch the engine in console mode, I receive this message:

EgbbProbe not Loaded
loading_time = 0s

Can I assume this means that Scorpio will not be accessing the bitbases. Please advise how I can resolve this. Thanks.

This is my scorpio.ini file:

#turn logging on and off

#hashtable size in mb

#evaluation hash table size in mb

#pawn hashtable size in mb

#path to egbb

#egbb cache size in mb . This does not include

egbb_cache_size 16

#load egbbs at start up
# 0 = none
# 1 = all 3/4 men
# 2 = selective loading of 5 men (not implemented yet)
# 3 = all 5 men

egbb_load_type 3

This is a directory listing of c:\egbb I had downloaded these files years ago. Are they dated?

Hello
For the 64 bit version you need egbbdll64.dll. The "egbbdll.dll" is the 32 bit version, that is why it says egbbs not found. Since you have the old egbbs, you can not use the new egbbdll on my website. I do not actually remember where you can the old egbbdll64.dll , but i have the source code here which you can compile
http://sites.google.com/site/dshawul/eg ... edirects=0
I will look for a direct link to the 64 bit version of the old dll.

Daniel,

Thanks,

I'm going to keep the old files, as some of my older 32 bit engines access them.

I have a fast interent connection and plenty of disk space. It is easy enough for me to download the new egbb's and point scorpio to the new directory, if you cant find a direct link to the 64 bit version of the old dll. Are there advantages to using the new version of the egbbs with the new 64 bit dll?

Please reply with a link to the new egbbs.

I wish you a great result in CCT 12!
