Hi, I have SSE processor Athlon xp 2800 +.

I can't run modern applications because they require SSE2.

Is there some AMD emulator which emulates SSE2 ?

I wish that AMD makes a driver for old processors Athlon xp so that we can run SSE2 applications.

How come this processors are unsupported?

The problem is the application you are running, not the processor. Applications can detect presence of SSE2 or similar instructions sets and adjust their optimizations accordingly. Your application chooses not to.

So again, this is an issue you should be bringing up with your software provider and ask them why they do not support non-SSE2 hardware.

Is there Amd emulation software for SSE2 ?

I tried http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-software-development-emulator/ but doesn't work on Amd processors.

For example there are variables:

-no-avx      Just emulate AES+PCLMULQDQ+SSE4

-no-aes      Just emulate SSE4

-skip-int3   Skip int3 instructions in the execution

I want to just to disable SSE2 at execution of .exe file with such variables.
