Drops 32-bit Support
This release drops 32-bit support. A StellaPortableLegacy32bit package will be created as you upgrade on unsupported machines. This legacy package is also available from the PA.c Platform App Store as well as from the app's homepage: https://portableapps.com/apps/games/stella-portable#download_details
Can't download legacy package
When will legacy package be available from homepage?
I also can't install it using Platform, Programs, Get more programs .
Added, Show In App Store
Sorry about that. I added it to the app's homepage correctly now.
If you're on 64-bit Windows, the option to install StellaPortableLegacy32bit won't be offered by default, since you have the proper modern version available to you. When on a 32-bit Windows, you'll see it available in the PA.c Platform App Store. You can set the PA.c Platform to show it always by selecting Options - App Store - and checking off Show advanced apps.
Everything is ok now
Everything is working now. I could download it from the homepage and install thru Platform menu.
By the way, I noticed that despite both has same version number, the size of "StellaPortableLegacy32bit_6.7.1_English" is 3.36M while the size of "StellaPortable_6.7.1_English" was 5.83MB. I suppose the Legacy is smaller because it doesn't have 64-bit components, am I right?
Correct
Legacy 32-bit only has the 32-bit components
