MagicAndre1981 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 ok, install the VC++ 2010 Express version and compile the code on your own and make sure nothing related to AVX is selected in the compiler options.
ppgrainbow Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Naah, it was just curiosity , IF the 32 bit version works fine on your Vista AND there is NO noticeable differences (in practice, i.e. speed, features, capabilities, etc.) between the 32 bit and the 64 bit version in (say) Windows 7 SP1 it's hard for me to understand the reason why you spent more than (still say) 8 minutes in troubleshooting the issue (that seems in my perverted mind a non-issue). Call me "tough" and "hairy reasoner" as much as you want, as I have no idea (and actually I am not particularly interested in learning) what exactly it is AVX code, but it either provides a noticeable bettering in *something* or it does not. If the bettering (if any) is not noticeable then I wouldn't pursue this "chase" for AVX code support, while of course if you are doing this for the fun of it or to boldly go where no man has gone before , I can understand entirely . JFYI:http://reboot.pro/topic/17568-what-advantage-hold-64-bit-programs-over-their-32-bit-version/ jaclaz I see what you mean there. I'll take a look at the link that you showed me and discover the advantages of running 64-bit software over the 32-bit version. Edited July 14, 2014 by ppgrainbow

I think that I will head to the AtariAge forums and let them know what could be up with the 64-bit version of Stella 4.0. In other words, I think that I will have to stick with the 32-bit version of the software built with MSVC 2013 as this will most likely be the latest 32-bit version of the compiler that will work with Windows XP/Vista.

MagicAndre1981 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 The current official version of Stella is compiled with MSVC2013 and can be compiled using MSVC2012. The source can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/stella/files/stella/4.0/stella-4.0-src.tar.gz/download check your PM and look if my compile works for you

I will take this issue to the AtariAge forums, if possible.
