Additionally, the project has accumulated code over time that do not compile on XP. While we understand that many arcade cabs are still running Windows XP, it has become a lower priority requirement for spice2x due to additional cost. Please stick to bemanitools or older versions of spicetools. + +Details: this is due to MinGW dropping support for it. In theory, if you recompiled MinGW with the correct flags set for XP compatibility, remove some of the new code that fail to compile, it would work in theory.
