List of 31 not-working engines (Fritz-GUI, XP). Any help??

Hi,
I updated recently to WinXP. This helped in get some engines running, however, other engines do not run anymore. Anyway, this is the list of engines which do not run on my computer with Malin's Wb2UCI-adapter (or with their own UCI-protocol if available). If you have any hint how to get this engines working, please post it.
I have ordered the not-working-engines into three groups. Group 1 are probably helpless. Group 2 should work. I have no clue why they do not work on my system now. They worked very well with my old computer. Group 3 are questionable, they could work, but I'm not sure:
1. No chance ? (Too buggy) :
Awesome 1.0 Does nothing.
BabyChess 11.1 Does nothing.
Trynyty 1.0 Does nothing.
PreChess 0.7.8 Does nothing.
Tikov Chess 1.0 Does nothing.
MFChess 1.0 Moves too slow. Runs always out of time.
Monik 2.1.1 Does nothing.
MSCP 1.2b Does nothing.
Jester 0.83 Moves too slow. Runs always out of time.
Kace 0.8 Does nothing.
CPP 0.10.38 Moves immediately and crashes after sometime.
Crux 5.0j Does nothing.
Deep Trouble 1.0 Does nothing.
Trex 0.9.0.7 Does nothing.
Rebel 12 Does not work with WinXP (anyway not in Fritz-GUI)
2. These should work (but they don’t !!):
Bigbook 3.1 Does nothing. Worked well under Win98
Pepito 1.59 Suddenly stopped working after 60 games ?????? Reinstallation didn’t helped. Makes one or two moves after it is out of book and then crashes (all three available executables).
Muriel Does nothing. Worked well under Win98
GLC 2.18 Needs about 30 sec, to start. Then it needs about 2 minutes to reach depth=2. Does not move. Worked well under Win98
Holmes 0.82 Does nothing. Worked well under Win98
3. Questionable:
Chad’s Chess 1.05 Does nothing.
Francesca Mad 0.0.8a Does nothing. V.0.0.7 worked well under Win98
Gedeone 1620 Crashes since v.1620
Gringo 1.3.26 Does nothing.
Kasparovxv 1.0 Does nothing. Works in Arena.
LaMoSca Does nothing.
Larsen 0.05.01 Does nothing. Previous versions worked.
Rainman 0.6 Does nothing.
RDCHess Since ~v3.08 it stopped working.
Robin 0.96 Does nothing. Worked well under Win98
Thor’s Hammer 1.8 Works in Arena.

Thanks

Hello Axel,
I have made a tournament with these engines except Rebel and MSCP 1.2b on Windows XP Pro and Home.
You can have a look with the link and I can send you my wb2uci.eng of the engines.
First, the engine with the * doesn't work with book. You can try to play without book.
As I am on my working site, I'll have a watch this evening and I can transmit my wb2uci.eng.
All is not perfect but I have good results. For example, BabyChess 11.1 doesn't play with white by me. For CPP, it's always the case by me with the speed game.
You can download the game in zip (pgn) and have a look on the game of these engines. The time is 5'/40 moves.
Best regards
Claude

Hi Axel,
Here the wb2uci.eng
There are not perfect. if Somebody have better ideas, don't hesitate to inform us !
First, I thank Patrick Buchmann, Alex Schmidt, Uwe Jacoby, Odd-Gunnar Malin and Leo Dikjsman who helped me a lot with the
site, the mails and documentation.
It's better to have many eyes that only two.
Have a good night.
Claude

Hey,
this seems like really a lot of work. Thank you very much. I will try to get the engines running with your files.
Thanks again.

Hi,
I updated recently to WinXP. This helped in get some engines running, however, other engines do not run anymore. Anyway, this is the list of engines which do not run on my computer with Malin's Wb2UCI-adapter (or with their own UCI-protocol if available). If you have any hint how to get this engines working, please post it.
I have ordered the not-working-engines into three groups. Group 1 are probably helpless. Group 2 should work. I have no clue why they do not work on my system now. They worked very well with my old computer. Group 3 are questionable, they could work, but I'm not sure:
1. No chance ? (Too buggy) :
Awesome 1.0 Does nothing.
BabyChess 11.1 Does nothing.
Trynyty 1.0 Does nothing.
PreChess 0.7.8 Does nothing.
Tikov Chess 1.0 Does nothing.
MFChess 1.0 Moves too slow. Runs always out of time.
Monik 2.1.1 Does nothing.
MSCP 1.2b Does nothing.
Jester 0.83 Moves too slow. Runs always out of time.
Kace 0.8 Does nothing.
CPP 0.10.38 Moves immediately and crashes after sometime.
Crux 5.0j Does nothing.
Deep Trouble 1.0 Does nothing.
Trex 0.9.0.7 Does nothing.
Rebel 12 Does not work with WinXP (anyway not in Fritz-GUI)
2. These should work (but they don’t !!):
Bigbook 3.1 Does nothing. Worked well under Win98
Pepito 1.59 Suddenly stopped working after 60 games ?????? Reinstallation didn’t helped. Makes one or two moves after it is out of book and then crashes (all three available executables).
Muriel Does nothing. Worked well under Win98
GLC 2.18 Needs about 30 sec, to start. Then it needs about 2 minutes to reach depth=2. Does not move. Worked well under Win98
Holmes 0.82 Does nothing. Worked well under Win98
3. Questionable:
Chad’s Chess 1.05 Does nothing.
Francesca Mad 0.0.8a Does nothing. V.0.0.7 worked well under Win98
Gedeone 1620 Crashes since v.1620
Gringo 1.3.26 Does nothing.
Kasparovxv 1.0 Does nothing. Works in Arena.
LaMoSca Does nothing.

Rainman 0.6 Does nothing.
RDCHess Since ~v3.08 it stopped working.
Robin 0.96 Does nothing. Worked well under Win98
Thor’s Hammer 1.8 Works in Arena.

Als Antwort auf: / In reply to: Help of 31 engines geschrieben von: / posted by: Claude Dubois at 20 February 2003 22:48:00:

Hi,
I updated recently to WinXP. This helped in get some engines running, however, other engines do not run anymore. Anyway, this is the list of engines which do not run on my computer with Malin's Wb2UCI-adapter (or with their own UCI-protocol if available). If you have any hint how to get this engines working, please post it.
I have ordered the not-working-engines into three groups. Group 1 are probably helpless. Group 2 should work. I have no clue why they do not work on my system now. They worked very well with my old computer. Group 3 are questionable, they could work, but I'm not sure:
1. No chance ? (Too buggy) :
Awesome 1.0 Does nothing.
BabyChess 11.1 Does nothing.
Trynyty 1.0 Does nothing.
PreChess 0.7.8 Does nothing.
Tikov Chess 1.0 Does nothing.
MFChess 1.0 Moves too slow. Runs always out of time.
Monik 2.1.1 Does nothing.
MSCP 1.2b Does nothing.
Jester 0.83 Moves too slow. Runs always out of time.
Kace 0.8 Does nothing.
CPP 0.10.38 Moves immediately and crashes after sometime.
Crux 5.0j Does nothing.
Deep Trouble 1.0 Does nothing.
Trex 0.9.0.7 Does nothing.
Rebel 12 Does not work with WinXP (anyway not in Fritz-GUI)
2. These should work (but they don’t !!):
Bigbook 3.1 Does nothing. Worked well under Win98
Pepito 1.59 Suddenly stopped working after 60 games ?????? Reinstallation didn’t helped. Makes one or two moves after it is out of book and then crashes (all three available executables).
Muriel Does nothing. Worked well under Win98
GLC 2.18 Needs about 30 sec, to start. Then it needs about 2 minutes to reach depth=2. Does not move. Worked well under Win98
Holmes 0.82 Does nothing. Worked well under Win98
3. Questionable:
Chad’s Chess 1.05 Does nothing.
Francesca Mad 0.0.8a Does nothing. V.0.0.7 worked well under Win98
Gedeone 1620 Crashes since v.1620
Gringo 1.3.26 Does nothing.
Kasparovxv 1.0 Does nothing. Works in Arena.
LaMoSca Does nothing.
Larsen 0.05.01 Does nothing. Previous versions worked.
Rainman 0.6 Does nothing.
RDCHess Since ~v3.08 it stopped working.
Robin 0.96 Does nothing. Worked well under Win98
Thor’s Hammer 1.8 Works in Arena.

Thanks
Surak

Hi Axel,
Here the wb2uci.eng
There are not perfect. if Somebody have better ideas, don't hesitate to inform us !
First, I thank Patrick Buchmann, Alex Schmidt, Uwe Jacoby, Odd-Gunnar Malin and Leo Dikjsman who helped me a lot with the
site, the mails and documentation.
It's better to have many eyes that only two.
Have a good night.
Claude

The letters SB after the Name of the engine mean that I cannot work the engine the book of GUI Fritz I wish.
