Assuming your computer is AMD, try Velmarin's compile, otherwise (Intel) at least one of mine will run.

I have added what is supposed to be a generic 64-bit Windows compile.

Firenzina 2.3.1 is slightly better and the latest.

A compile of Firenzina 2.4 xTreme for modern, 64-bit Intel computers is available at http://firenzina.wikispaces.com/. Sources of Firenzina 2.4 xTreme are available at https://github.com/Censor/Firenzina.

will it be a copilation to amd (phenom x6 1090T) ... well who knows? ..

Any improvement in strength from 2.4.1 to 2.4.2 ??

no.

if you want to waste your time on this crap
Firenzina 2.4.1 (fire compile) http://firenzina.wikispaces.com/home

I am running an extensive test/tournament of 32,256 1 minute games and my test at least at 1 minute games says this engine is very strong. I am currently completing the 14th round of a 16 round tournament and out of 64 of my top engines it is now at No.12 ahead of IvanHoe 50KQ, Critter1.6a, RobboLito 2.1, Bouquet 1.7, Don 1.0 and Fire 3.0 to name a few. This is version 2.4.2 and no doubt this version is strong at least in 1 minute games.

Found an Android compile of 2.4.1. Works well with Chess for Android. Good for engine tournaments. But somehow buggy with Droidfish. Claims uci protocol error after loading.
Android compile is HERE

PS: Got it working with Droidfish as well. There's an error like "fire.cfg not found" but the engine works. Fire.cfg is only necessary if you want to alter engine parameters other than hash size. To create this file with default settings, open Firenzina Windows version in command prompt and type default. Then, get the file from the engine folder, modify settings and install it into the same folder as the engine on Android. The error message will go away and altered settings will take effect. The engine is as strong as Critter, slightly better than Black Mamba. This will make Firenzina #2 or #3 among Android engines after Stockfish. Results to come soon via my new RAPIDROID project...

Just a question. Why not download the stronger Firenzina 2.4.2 instead of 2.4.1? It is the latest version.

Android version is sending 2.4.1 version info. That's the unique Android version available released at the same time as 2.4.2 Windows version.
Weird but true... or maybe just they forgot to update the ID before compiling... or porting 2.4.2 was problematic... I don't know.

I managed to compile Firenzina 2.4.2 for OSX.  Had to change the way Firenzina looked for cores as get_nproc () was not an OSX function. So after much searching around, I found another way to get the number of cores and define it as get_nprocs for OSX.  I'm no coder, so it was really trial, error and luck.

I included a patch file for utility.c making the change.
