BCMGames - Download

Download

Program

You need "Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package" (probably it's already on your computer) and "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package". See Installation-Section below.

You have to write into my Guestbrook from within BCMGames by selecting "Register" in the "Help"-Menu to register!
The unregistered version is limited in some ways.

Get it here: BCMGames_20130308.zip (with Spear-Engine from Reijer Grimbergen included, but WITHOUT the book-file and with HaQiKiD and Shokidoki from H.G.Muller)

Installation

Only uncompress all files and start BCMGames.exe.

What else you need:

Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package
x86 (Windows XP 32-bit): for example here
other systems (IA64, x64): for example here
(You can check it by looking for this folder: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package
x86 (Windows XP 32-bit): for example here)
other systems (x64): for example here
(It's also included in Dot Net v3.5)

If you get any of the following error messages, you should check your installation as described above:

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135).
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling application may fix this problem.
The system cannot execute the specified program.

Engines

You can use USI/UCI/UCCI/XQ/WB-Engines with BCMGames.
There is no configuration-dialog possible and all must be done manually by hand in the config file.
But I've got the allowness from Reijer Grimbergen to include his Spear engine, which makes the manual configuration obsolete for you.
Also the engine Shokidoki (Minishogi) and HaQiKiD (Xiangqi) are included.

You can download the Spear engine with book here.

BCMGames-Engines didn't need book-files and furtheremore bookfiles will result in disadvantage!!!
