v4 x86_64 Engines Pack

[RandyR]

Hi Everyone,

For those who want to run v4 on an x86_64 Linux machine (running a Debian based OS) I have put together an engine pack that you can use to replace the /opt/picochess/engines folder (backup your original).

Once the PicoChess install scripts are able to set up a PicoChess installation on an x86 system perhaps Johan can provide this package as a resource. Note that some engines might require further apt packages or python modules to run, depending on your current setup.

Nice :-)

I will have a look at this and see if I can make it a "lite" package for Debian x86_64.

Hi and Merry Christmas to everyone:

I wonder if the Johann's install-picochess.sh script asis do work in a x86_64 Debian 13.2 amd64 laptop (user account pi) or if

there are some further customization to get it work properly.

Thank you.

I have updated the x86_64 Engines Pack with a fixed MAME compile which was missing the no-nag code. Sorry for any frustrations caused. Hopefully, with the correct rom version, PicoChess should no longer freeze when using a rom with known issues (and no pop-up warning window should appear with retro artwork enabled). Perhaps Johan can update his x86_64_mame_lite.tar.gz resource file.

This also works in PicoChess v3.4 but requires more effort to install on x86_64.

The link to the Engines Pack is the same:

v4_x86_64_engines.7z  (2.8 GB)

If you just want the corrected MAME file (mess), you can download it here:

Hi Randy,

in my v4.2.1 installation only a few MAME engines are chooseable via the webinterface.

I did a "/install-picochess.sh lite" installation. Is there anything i should do to get access to

the full pack as in your v4_x86_64_engines.7z ?
