your win32 binaries are 64bit hehe
Yes, win32 is short for "Win32 API".
Win32 is the programming interface (API) for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating systems. Starting with Windows 95, developers write applications that call the routines in the Win32 API.
yeah i did understand that... despite using win32 api for a softrender have little sense other than the framebuffer, but still... the older version were 32bit so i had to ask, and anyway... without 32bit binaries, i can only try this if its possible to compile this with mingw64, so i will try
Seconding x86 binaries request.
In the meanwhile, here's a batch file that compiles using GCC.

I am pleasantly surprised by how easy this codebase is to compile.
For shits and giggles, I fired up a windows 98SE VM and ran the viewer. It works!

If you do not want to install Visual Studio, Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7 will also work (about 83M).

After all, the renderer is written in ANSI C.
yeah, nah compiled for mingw, since it was indeed easy, but most projects are not that easy to compile, so i tend to try them first to see if it worth the effort hehe
Yes, that is one of the benefits of minimal dependencies.
