Subject: Rybka for the PPC?

Go up one level in this thread


Any chance you could prepare a PPC version of it? I have both CEBoard
(http://www.zanchetta.net/CEBoard/) and Pocket Grandmaster, and would love to
use Rybka in them. CEBoard has an integration package on the site explaining how
to prepare an engine for use with it.

I would gladly share test results comparing it with not only other engines on
the PPC (Crafty, Fruit 2.1, Toga II 1.1, etc.) but also relative performance
compared to a desktop PC. My PPC is a Dell Axim X50v running at 624MHz.
