Hello!
Beatstar (the electron version) is 32 bits  and
should, in theory, support xp.
Let me know if this is not the case, please.

I must add this method of adjusting the headers

tried this on games like beatstar and was met by
an avalanche of dotnet errors and other cryptic
error messages. When psychostrike and the gate
was released, Aaron baker made a pact on the
audiogames forum to try and remedy the issue
with XP users. For one reason or another,
Aaron didn't get around to fixing the problem,
but I happened upon the solution quite by
accident (thank you very much heaven-tools) and
