Problems running two instances of SPi

GV2NIX · April 26th, 2006

This is normally something very easy to do, but for some reason, I'm having trouble running one instance of SPi for each of my cores. Unlike with Prime, I can just double-click twice and get two instances of SPi up. I'm positive that I'm setting the affinities correctly. Since SPi doesn't have an affinity option, I'm using the task manager (one to 0 and one to 1). The problem starts when I try to start both instances. Whatever instance I start second will error almost immediately. It doesn't matter which core it's for. My chip is prime stable at these settings, so I can't imagine what the problem might be. Maybe I need to use a modded version of SPi? Any suggestions would be great, thanks!

Try putting each of them in a seperate directories.

I've had to do that to run 2 instances of Prime 95.

Hey, thanks for the tip! It didn't work though... Very weird. Never had to do that with Prime, but I tried it with SPi, no luck. :(
