Legacy WinXP
I've added a legacy package for Windows XP as The Powder Toy dropped support a while back. It's available in the PortableApps.com Platform App Store as well as from the portable app's homepage: https://portableapps.com/apps/games/powder-toy-portable#download_details
Thanks for pushing that out.
Thanks for pushing that out. I came back from a short trip yesterday and have a look at the update. I missed the dropping XP support since I don't have a machine running (or creeping) XP anymore.
Their update infos are a mess as is their forum. They do a lot of snapshots and obscure prereleases. From the descriptions, XP support should have been reestablished sometime around november, but I did not find a defintive hint which version to try... Win32 build is supposed to work, but I cannot not test it.
Sure thing, Sorry, Tested
Sure thing on packaging. Apologies as I'm so used to just doing stuff I forgot you were still actively updating.
I tested recent builds and it looks like XP support ended with 93.3.340. This build and the last build both require Vista and up. I keep XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 in both 32-bit and 64-bit as well as Windows 11, ReactOS, and Ubuntu in clean virtual machines for testing. I also have a triple booth Windows 7/10/11 secondardy laptop for testing on hardware.
