I have no interest in providing prebuilt win32 or 32-bit MacOS binaries for Decker; I don't have the necessary devices, and it would add an undue maintenance and release burden for a feature that would be used by a vanishingly small number of users. If there is overwhelming demand, somehow, I might reconsider this stance.

However, if anyone is interested in building Decker from source for these platforms, starting with Decker 1.49 I have already included a shim which allows Decker to be compiled against SDL 1.2, which in principle allows it to be used on Windows 98 and a variety of other obsolete platforms, with certain functional limitations. Your mileage may vary. Decker has fairly modest memory requirements, but performance may be poor on very old machines.

Further disclaimer: I do not wish to provide any tech support for compiling Decker on Windows; I find it viscerally unpleasant to interact with in any quantity.

How about the Hannah Montana Linux distro? ;)

Building from source on essentially any Linux distro (or BSD, or MacOS) is a snap: install the SDL and SDL_image packages, clone the Decker repo, run make, and you're set. I haven't tested Hannah Montana Linux, but it should work just like any comparable vintage of Ubuntu. I have tested the Fedora 18 image that shipped on OLPC XO-1s; it's much faster and easier now that Decker works against SDL 1.2, so you no longer have to screw around with building SDL2 from scratch.

I was just messing with you, man. Haha!
