Perhaps in the thin version l of the XTool 2020, it would be great.
Most games require 64-bit systems, but there are still some games that support 32-bit.
So if there is only 64-bit XTool it would not be recommended to compress this type of games using it, having to choose to use the old XTool.
Also if the user has a 32-bit system installed he will not be able to use Xtool, even if it is for a game that will be installed on another system in the future.
Thanks!
I don't know if I said it here on the forum or to someone who asked for 32-bit version of xtool. I stopped shipping 32-bit xtool because there are certain mistakes that some people make when they use xtool. An example is when they use oodle/lz4. The library you use must be compiled from the same source code, this you must make sure (if the 64-bit dll of lz4 is v191, make sure the 32-bit dll is also v191). So what happens is people use 64-bit version of the library and then ship the 32-bit version of xtool along with different libraries making xtool to cause CRC errors because the libraries didn't come from the same source. 32-bit is available on request but it will be the users fault if they have issues with it. What you also must remember is xtool ships with xdelta, some streams cannot be restored so it tries to salvage a few streams but if there is a mismatch in the data caused by different dll, it causes xtool/xdelta to return errors.

Please, other users, avoid answering questions that have a username mentioned, so it is easier to be answered. Thanks.
Relax I backtrack posts when I return and answer all of them when I have time, I did say that I spend less time here and sometimes what happens is if a question is directed at someone, if they are not around and other people don't step in, it still falls behind and the question is still never seen (especially with threads). So I think he did what was best by giving a response right away best he can according to his knowledge.
