Sunsetter 9 under Arena GUI

Hi,
I'm trying to use Sunsetter 9 under Arena 3.5.
The engine is installed as a Winboard engine.
When I launch a tournament, Sunsetter 9 indicates "illegal move" as soon as it is out of Arena Mainbook, and stops.
I got the same when I disable the Arena Mainbook.
Does anyone has exeprienced this problem with Arena ?
PS : My file Sunsetter contains only Sunsetter.exe.

Sunsetter 9 can only play crazyhouse and bughouse.

The latest Sunsetter can only play Crazyhouse/Bughouse.
You can use Winboard to do so. It doesn't support standard chess.
There are very old versions of Sunsetter, that can play normal chess:

Tested "C9d". The UCI Version doesn't seem to be working.

Ok, I understand now...Ithought it could play "normal chess" also.
Many thanks for your reply !
