What are you doing? Porting Hiarcs to WinPhone7? Pfu...
But then what is it ??

Here is the screenshot with Hiarcs 13.2SP, thinking on a move(and generating a move of course !!) on Chess For Android GUI. But as far as I know that these engines are not available on android platform !! He He

I test with others engines also like Houdini 1.5, ProDeo, Ruffian, Spike. But these engines installed first but when I try to import them it was written " terminated " and the engines would not load. But in case of Hiarcs, Junior or Rybka it is running like a charm on my Optimus One !!
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Hi!

Is this screenshot from your own phone? If so, how did you get the engine?

Thanks.
Regards.
No this is my friends LG Optimus One. I don't have an android. OK, he get the engine from his computer to his mobile and then install and import to that GUI.
You can try it on your own.

You cannot import a Windows executable on an ARM-based phone into Chess for Android. Instead, you will need to obtain a binary that has been compiled into proper native code of the Android device (ARMv5TE for most mobile devices, 32-bit x86 for e.g. GoogleTV), as further explained at the UCI and XBoard engines for Android.

Importing an incorrect binary will usually result in the "terminated" message, although in some cases (depending on the setup), the GUI may simply fall back to the built-in engine. If properly imported, more engine output should appear at the bottom while thinking.

It would be cool though to see a Hiarcs for Android though!

The information on the ARM port makes perfect sense.

I read that the wine project was ported to the ARM. Have you seen/heard of people using it successfully on the android platform? If that is the case, then using the pocketpc ARMv5TE exe for Hiarcs can work on Android.
