Title: RetroFe for windows XP
Post by: Pepeporras on June 26, 2017, 06:57:10 AM
Hi, very good, my problem is that I'm doing a bartop arcade and I'm using an old pc that I had at home.

And when I download RetroFe and run it, error is not win32.

Many people use old PCs with XP for their bartop. There is no version of RetroFe compatible with XP?

In all honesty: I have no idea. I seem to remember Emb saying that at some time in the past he broke Windows XP support, but I'm not 100% sure what may have caused it, nor if or how it can be fixed. You could try compiling the code yourself; I don't even have a copy of Windows XP around anymore on which I could try, I'm afraid.

Thanks, I will try out old versions of RetroFe in case some one runs in XP and I will try to compile the recent version for XP, thanks for your support

Did you follow the instructions on bit bucket (https://bitbucket.org/phulshof/retrofe#markdown-header-compiling-and-installing-on-windows)?

Personally I use Linux for these sorts of things, but some people may have a preference for Windows still.

Then in the afternoon try again, with more calm, if I can compile I can send the file to you so I can offer it for download
