Squeak3.10.2-7179-win32.zip
has Squeak 3.10 and I tried to run InterpreterSimulator on the 3.10 image.

Any info on which version will run InterpreterSimulator on which image would be a great help.

Thanks,

As I recall from a discussion a few months ago here, either some of the
specialOOPs or some of the primitive numbers got reused, making any
attempt to use very old images with modern VMs incompatible, and since
InterpreterSimulator is also a virtual VM, I'd suspect you'd need to
have the right version for the right image.
