XBMC.exe for non-SSE2 processors.
Date: 2008-07-11
Version: Built from Friday July 11 2008 SVN checkout
Compiler: VS C++ 2008 Express. Compiled from Release version of code (not Debug).
Processor: AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (Barton) MMX, SSE, Enhanced 3DNow!
Instructions:
Install XBMC via Windows installer, copy xbmc to 'C:\Program Files\XBMC'
Thanks for that!
Some Windows users with older hardware may find this useful, and a cheap alternative to purchasing new hardware, or even an xbox.
Maybe this could be hosted where the other binaries are on Sourceforge?
i thanks you also.
ill test on some older hardware.
regards,

Try the new build out of this forum. Charly compiled a few libraries and XBMC itself without SSE2 optimization.
i can confirm that svn 14125 does install and run on amd2400+ processor.
xbmc info says nvidea 5200/sse/3dnow support
nice work indeed

Try the new build out of this forum. Charly compiled a few libraries and XBMC itself without SSE2 optimization.How about DVDPlayer and libavcodec/libavformat? Are those not complied ith SSE2 (and SSE3, and SSE4) to get better performance on video playback? ...or does those support detection and only use SSE2 (and SSE3, and SSE4) if the CPU supports it even if the binaries has been compiled to support it?
??? ...IMHO XBMC for Windows integrated video-player (FFmpeg powered DVDPlayer) needs to take advantage of SEE2/SSE3/SSE4 if and when available, but it would great if it could support processors without SEE2/SSE3/SSE4 in the same binary if possible.
I'm not an expert on those topics but what chadoe did was to compile some libraris and XBMC without sse3 optimization in visual studio. I dunno if enabling this gives us a great advantage.
Other libraries as ffmpeg are compiled with mingw and at least ffmpeg uses internal detection of the cpu capabilities.
