Balatro 32Bit?

[[SMS]FalkorTV]

Hey, the game is made on the love2d engine. Is there a chance you could build a file enabling the game on 32-bit systems?

Hope theres an app in the future or smthg:espresso::tabbycat:

I don't think the devs would spend their time downgrading their game just so you can play it for a few minutes then go back to your modern computer

i dont mind if the devs dont do it. I am just trying to find other ways to do it

You can always port it yourself, have fun

Definitly works on my 64 bit pc but didnt on my 32bit , weirdly it doesnt open the latest love apps even if they are 32 bit and balatro doesnt work on older love apps, it just shows its an invalid win32 app, maybe cause i have windows XP service pack 2

oops, somehow missed this.
according to their website, LÖVE requires at least Vista, if you're on XP, it's most likely not going to run if anything. that's honestly to be expected, XP has been unsupported by Microsoft for several years, and there's very few reasons developers should force themselves into supporting it.
here's some very vague ideas to force Balatro into running on your computer:

• install some system modifications for XP that lets you run Vista+ applications (don't know what but I know some exists).
  
• upgrade to an actually supported operating system (this is very much my general recommendation for people that are still daily driving old operating systems. i doubt that's within what you're trying to do, but at least Balatro will run if you do that).
  
• take LÖVE's source code and port it over to XP (might be slightly hard...).

At a certain point I think you need to accept that modern games aren't all going to work on 20 year old hardware no matter what the specs of the game are.
