How to get SF 8 to work on Arena 3.5.1?

Post by jplchess »

I am able to work SF 7 on Arena 3.5.1, but what about SF 8?
I use "Demo" to start a game, but sometimes it does not work.
Please offer some advice.

I installed SF8 into Arena 3.5.1 as a UCI engine and it works fine, including using the Demo function (which I had never tried before). I suspect there may be an issue with how SF8 was installed, but that's just a guess.
