QSPICE for 32bit OS

QSPICE
1

Hello
I am using an old laptop running win10 32bit. It is installed in my personal lab and primarily intended for carrying SMPS simulations. In this machine LTSPICE XVII runs well but I would like to test QSPICE for comparative basis.
So my question is: Do QSPICE developers plan to release a 32bit application for those who own old PCs like me?

Clearly I am not the developer.

However, I believe it will be very hard to justify making another version for a super niche user

My friend do something like that:

  1. Install QSPICE on another friend laptop/computer with WIN 10 od 11 64 bit in folder C:/QSPICE.
  2. Use 7-ZIP to archive that folder on your USB pendrive.
  3. Upgrade your laptop with more RAM.
  4. Install Oracle Virtual BOX for free and Guest plugin.
  5. Install in Virtual BOX new WIN 10 64Bit instalation from your pendrive.
  6. Copy from your folder with unzipped files to C:/QSPICE
  7. Start Virtual Box to use it.
  8. After ca 3 month Qspice require update and stop working without update, so, go to your friend, install QSPICE update, do archive, copy on pendrive…

    His Windows 7 works like a charm with QSPICE in virtual machine with WIN 10 64 bit - and he is very angry, that so good software like QSPICE is blocked to use only on nasty unsecure Windows 10 or Windows 11 64 bit.
