yardena210 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 If you couldn't tell by the title, the newest version of Pokégen (3.1.13) is not opening for me at all, despite the update making it able to run on XP. Nothing comes up, not even an error. I am running Windows XP Proffesional SP3, and I have tried disabling my antivirus before running the program.

ReignOfComputer Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Sigh, why do people still use XP when it's so outdated So there's no errors at all? The program doesn't respond at all when you run it? I'm going to guess that's it's a .NET Framework issue, PokeGen could be targeting .NET 4.0 or 4.5 which in VS2012, doesn't work in XP since 4.5 doesn't exist in XP and VS2012's 4.0 is different from XP's. Or if C++ is involved, VS2012 Update 1 is required to get it working with XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codr Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 PokeGen doesn't use .NET BS. There are no library requirements, nor are there any optional DLL requirements. Every Windows installation has what's needed. Someone has mentioned before that their firewall has caused problems, because by default, PokeGen checks for updates before the main window is even displayed.

ReignOfComputer Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Ooh, I always thought it used .NET. Well then, try disabling any available firewall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardena210 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 I have disabled the default Windows firewall, and I've even made an exception, and I still cannot get it to start. I do have the PokeGen.dmp file if it's of use to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond697 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 then post the dump file. it's impossible to even guess what could be happening otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardena210 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Okay, here's the PokeGen.dmp file: http://www.mediafire.com/?gg8ykkfa894t3yb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond697 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 i need a little bit of your computer's configuration. cpu type, memory amount. just the basics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReignOfComputer Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Especially your processor. The .dmp shows an illegal instruction (c000001d) which is thrown when a processor doesn't support SSE1/2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardena210 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 I have an AMD Athlon XP 1500+, and 1gb of RAM (which I know is terrible, but I got it for free some six years ago). I know for sure that my processor does not support SSE2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond697 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 i'm not supporting something that old. that's almost definitely the problem. Athlon XP 1500+ 1333 MHz 256 KB 266 MT/s 10x 1.75 V 60.0 W October 9, 2001 AX1500DMT3C the error code isn't just for SSE stuff, it's for any unsupported instruction. there's a slight chance there's ram problems causing unsupported instructions(especially if the ram is also 12 years old), but it's most likely the incredibly old age of your cpu.

yardena210 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 That's okay, I'll just use 3.1.10 until I get a new computer, which should be in a few months or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond697 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 i was talking to codr about it and he last built pokegen with visual studio 2010 for 3.1.10. i'm using visual studio 2012 with the winXP setting on and i'd imagine that vs2012 builds using.. something that an older cpu like that can't support. i spent a bit of time looking and i didn't see anything in it about older cpus or different instruction sets that looked like they might fix the problem.

evandixon Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Windows XP is already out of mainstream support (extended support ends in about a year), so I suggest that you don't even need to target XP. Just have a copy of the last version that supported XP available on the download page (so those still on XP will have something), then focus only on newer systems.

Codr Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Not having support doesn't mean there aren't a lot of people using it still. (As ridiculous as that is.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandixon Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Eventually this will be like someone trying to use Pokegen on Windows 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codr Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 EVENTUALLY any OS will become too outdated, but this isn't the case yet. If Mat wants to stop supporting it, that's up to him, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond697 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 there's no reason to yet. it's literally a picking the right option in a dropdown box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReignOfComputer Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 @darktainer001: Make a new thread since your issue isn't the same as the OP's. Also quite sure that's not a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
