Windows XP build

[bammo10]

Hey everyone,

Just found out about this project yesterday, and I am amazed by the progress you have already made.

Anyways, I found this thread on Reddit from a while ago where Janisozaur uploaded an XP build of the project.
Unfortunately the link he posted there was only valid for two weeks, so I can't download it from there anymore.

I run XP on two netbooks that are a couple years old now, because it just runs better than newer OS's.
I would appreciate it a lot if anyone could supply me with a build that works on XP, doesn't really matter which version.
Or if that would be too much work, maybe explain how I can compile it myself.

Thanks in advance!

If only XP runs on the laptops, it might be a good idea to try Linux  OpenRCT2 does run 100% on that. It is possible to make an XP build, but without networking and twitch support. We're also not officially supporting XP anymore because of obvious reasons.

If you still want/need help with building it yourself, let uw know.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't want to put Linux on them again. 
To make things clear I have a good laptop running W10 right now myself so I can play, but the netbooks are my parents' and they can't work with Linux and I can't repartition them.

Anywho, in the Reddit thread I quoted there was also a comment about it now being easier to produce Windows XP builds, and it has only been a couple weeks since.
Are you sure that you guys really can't produce these builds anymore now?

I have quite a bit of experience programming / compiling C code but I wouldn't know how to compile this project right now, but if you guys could point me in the right direction that'd be great.
I read some things about Mingw builds working on XP so should I try that?

Regards

No one can help me with this?

Be sure to ping me next time, you can also use mingw to compile them on your own.

@bammo10 can you let me know what kind of hardware do you have (I'd like specific CPU model¹) and how well does it run? You can use "show fps" + "uncap fps" options. I may be able to provide builds that are better suited to your hw.

@RuneLaenen my builds have all the things working.

@janisozaur Amazing! Exactly what I was looking for. I got it to work right away and it is working perfectly. 

I will test it some more, see how it runs, and I will let you know all the details of the system and how it runs.

Thanks so much!

The link is dead could you re apply it.

No, we dropped support for XP.
