| Hi, two questions: 1. Can Monkey 2 be installed and run on Windows XP computer.? 2. Can games made with Monkey 2 be run on Windows XP computer? Thank you.! |

| If you have a Windows XP computer you should give it a try. BlitzMax is far more compatible as it works with DirectX7 graphics. Monkey2 expects a modern version of OpenGL and by default I think a 64 bit processor. |

| therevills asked the question twice now over at the Monkey2 forums and Mark just ignored it both times. Most recently: link This is definitely something developers need to know so it's strange that we can't get an answer. |

| Until the mobile targets are ready for prime time that question is kind of jumping the gun. If therevills posts here at Monkey Talk we could carry on the speculation but OT specifically concerns Windows XP support for the current release. |

| Monkey 2 could be installed on my Win XP computer but Monkey 2 didn't run on this computer. |

| hmm, I just found this out and I asked the question earlier about minimum NDK but Mark posted the minimum is Android2.2 which is 2010. The only real ‘hard’ requirement is it needs GLES20 or equivalent, eg: direct3d9 on windows, gl2 on macos/linux, android2.2, no idea about ios, etc. Anyway, I skipped the readme and will try the installation again, but some broken links particularly here.. README.TXT 1) Install the mingw-64 compiler. There is a self-extracting archive of mingw-64 that has been tested with monkey2 here: http://monkey2.monkey-x.com/mak/get-file?file=i686-6.2.0-posix-dwarf-rt_v5-rev1.exe If you install this to the monkey2 'devtools' directory, the following steps should 'just work'. |

| I've raised a defect for this: https://github.com/blitz-research/monkey2/issues/116 When I tried running a MX2 app I get the error: The procedure entry point CancelIoEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll So at the moment MX2 for Windows has a minimum OS of Vista, I need an engine which supports Windows XP and SDL2 does say it does support it…. |

| [deleted incorrect info] @Blitzplotter Thanks, I thought it was 64bit only. |

| @TeaBoy, Monkey2 runs on my 32bit W7 box. |
