Useful utility - Instruction Sets

Post by Jim Ablett »

Nice little utility I have found.

https://github.com/albertony/instructionsets

It will tell you the cpu instructions that are needed to run the executable. Useful if an engine won't run on your computer. This will tell you why.
example usage:

InstructionSets64.exe superultra_21_64_ja.exe -supported

ret
mode64
branch_relative
jump
call
avx
cmov
avx2
bmi
bmi2
sse1
sse2
fpu
int
sse3
