From Mike Byrne ..

Maiden Release - Droidfish with Honey engines
@MichaelB7 MichaelB7 released this 4 hours ago

Based on the great work by Peter Osterlund , and the Stockfish development team and many many others, I am pleased to announce Droidfish with the current dev-Honey engines. This maiden release will run on most of the nearly 3 billion active Android devices .

5 downloads - 5 engines

Oki Maguro ( translation "Big Tuna" in Japanese), in honor of our friends in Japan who kicked started the neural net is Stockfish. The engine most like Stockfish.

Bluefish - the excellent SF clone, initially started by my good friend Eelco de Groot. In classical mode, places more emphasis on evaluation, than material compared to the other engines. Pieces values are just 78% relative to standard SF.

Black Diamond- based on Crystal, the great chess problem solving SF clone started by my good friend Joe Ellis.

Weakfish - a very weakend SF clone that is very fun for humans to play.

Honey - named after my late grandmother. "Honey" Byrne, not as aggressive in using classical evaluation

All engines have Neural net and 55 Syzygy endgame tablebases embedded, Syzygy Tb's were authored and created by genius Ron de Mann. The code to embed the Syzygy tablebases was written by longtime Stockfish developer mstembera.

I should have added to activate the syzygy tablesbases , enter the location as “<4-men>” without the quotes. Enter it in the main menu at the bottom under >Endgame Tablebases>Syzygy Directory.

Yes, that's right, Michael. [xrf31

I have a Samsung galaxy s21 512 MB room phone and 12 GB ram. while playing against Nemorino 5 minutes shows me the Hash number 32 MB% what correct settings is used in DroidFish? the experienced ones to guide me what settings to use in DroidFish gui. I appreciate your advice [xrf31
Hi,

Peter Osterlund, the author of Droidfish has added a "secret" way to enable use of large hash tables>512 MB : Just create an empty file called .unsafehash into folder /SD card/DroidFish/uci/. This will unlock the Hash table limit. Peter implemented a limit to protect some small devices that have not enough RAM to run properly. Nowadays, all devices have enough RAM to enable 1GB of hash or even 2GB. But not more or droidfish will crash.
Bests regards.

Hi Comrog thx for info, but the right of written folder that I have to created is unsafehash ? Or unsavehash ? With f ? Or with v ?
As we knew sometimes one diffrent letter in folder may impact
unreadable by the system

Chess.Basse wrote:Hi ConRog Thank you for answering but I trying to create empty folders in DroidFish uci and the not working. plsss if you want take screenshot plsss I need follow on your screenshot. :sm55:
After installing DroidFish, the folder DroidFish/uci/ is created. No need to create it. Just create an empty file with the name .unsafehash and put it in this folder.
You will be able to choose more RAM for hash in DroidFish parameters and all uci engines will use it.

Droidfish is not anymore on Google Play Store.

I guess the creator had enough to pay 30 dollars every year to keep it up there.
