@vaporeon_ I'm not using any special cpu intrinsics, so but the code assumes a 64 bit CPU. I don't know of any reason why a x64v1 CPU would not be able to use it.
If the 64bit constraint were worked around, the great reliance on 64 bit floating point math probably limits how far this can scale down.
@vaporeon_ this is the current tail of my devlog thread if you are interested, btw https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@aeva/115620169762742174

@aeva In principle, I ran Gentoo on an Intel Core 2 Duo Mac Mini until that computer broke, so for a Core 2 Duo, you don't even need a second modern computer for compiling (though that would be faster), you can just install and use Gentoo.
I can confirm that Gentoo works on BIOS systems no problem, I've personally installed it on multiple systems that only have BIOS.
It has Clang 20 and libsdl3.Although, if you don't actually want Gentoo, you just want your stuff to work: did you test yet whether the latest Debian boots from that USB stick? I remember installing it successfully on BIOS-only hardware a few years ago, but the latest version (Debian 13, which is the only one that has SDL3).
Unfortunately can't test it for you because they dropped 32-bit x86 support in that latest version

)@vaporeon_ I tried the latest debian testing, but I wasn't able to get the live ISO to boot either from a bluray or a usb on this machine

@vaporeon_ I don't mind the idea of potentially running gentoo on this machine though

La nuova guerra europea alla privacy: ChatControl violerà i diritti fondamentali
In teoria, Chat Control avrebbe dovuto essere sepolto il mese scorso. Il minaccioso piano dell'UE di scansionare in massa i messaggi privati dei cittadini ha incontrato una schiacciante resistenza pubblica in Germania, con il governo del paese che si è rifiutato di approvarlo. Ma Bruxelles raramente si tira indietro solo perché i cittadini lo chiedono. E così, fedele alla sua forma, una versione rielaborata del testo è già in fase di elaborazione, questa volta nascosta, a porte chiuse.
