The SW build requires a CPU with AES!

[steven87vt]

Hello, I tried various algorithms and eventually ended up setting SSE42 however I'm prompted the selected binaries do not match the cpu properties. Its an old i3 laptop, maybe not able to support Raptoreum mining using AES but I guess its AVX compatible. I just curious if something is missing from the install or if this is the expected behavior. I can say there are lots of exe files under binaries so I assume it was not blocked by AV.

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3227U CPU @ 1.90GHz 1.90 GHz OS: Win 10

Yes, AVX build assumes you have AES as that is in theory the case. Unfortunately, Intel is not consistent in their product functionality and OEM also disables hardware AES sometimes for some reason. You using SSE42 is enough and even if there was AVX binary without AES available, it would not make any difference to your performance.
