Hi Everyone,

I am new to Corona but my machine is old. It is I ntel GM965 chipset , duo core2 T6400 processor and opengl-2.

I want to know that which version of Corona support my machine and from where/how I can download it.

Please help me.

Thank you.

You need OpenGL 2.1 or later. See if you have more modern drivers. If you have a desktop, you might be able to find a more modern graphics card.

my machine isn’t support Opengl2.0, so how can i use corona sdk?

Hello @hanan1606d and welcome to the forums. 

Unfortunately the OpenGL requirement is a hard requirement. There isn’t a way around it other than having a computer with a modern enough graphics card that supports OpenGL 2.1 or later. If you have a desktop and depending on how old it is, you might be able to find a new graphics card for it. If you have a laptop you would likely need a newer computer.

OpenGL came out in 2006, so any computer / video card made in 2008 or later should support it.

You need to make sure you have the right video driver installed for your video card and for the operating system version you are running.  If you’ve done a fresh install of Windows, then you might be using Microsoft’s generic video driver which only support OpenGL 1.1 which has no shader support.

Since your PC is using an Intel GM965 chipset, you can find a driver for it on Intel’s website here…

As Rob has mentioned, Corona requires that your video driver support OpenGL 2.1 or higher.  So, if the Intel driver you install still doesn’t meet this minimum requirement, then that means your video hardware doesn’t meet the requirements.
