I posted back in January that I have a computer that isn't compatible with the directx version and was referred to the GL build. It worked great until my computer needed to be reformated. Now I can't get it working again. It seems that Kricker's GL builds are broken and Ikon's website doesn't host them anymore. Is there another site to find older GL builds (around Jan 2010)?

Got it working. Hitcher, none of Kricker's GL builds work. I took the xbmc-mce GL build and merged it with another one I found that didn't work. Now it works. I bet something isn't going to work, but all I need this for is to watch simple movies, no plugins, music, photos, etc.
Thanks

What do you mean by "They do not work"?

Hmmm. I'll have to look into that later...of course now that GL will most likely be dropped all together it may not even be worth it.

xm41907, XP SP2 is supposed to include DirectX 9.0c which might be just enough to run the latest dev versions. They have a software mode that doesn't require the Pixel Shaders anymore, if that was the original issue.

II have old integrated graphics card in my HTPC (Intel GMA 900). Is xbmc going to function faster on OpenGL?
