I wanted to test something 64bit on my new Qemu build, and for the heck of it wen to check out AROS.
And much to my amazement, there is a working x86_64 in the nightly build, 20131104!
x86_64 Aros
To me it’s very cool to see a 64bit AROS… It’s the kind of thing we’d only dream about back in 1993.
I tried loading 64-bit AROS on qemu-system-x86_64… on a Pentium 3. It., uh “booted,” but usable was not what I would define it as.
on a p3? I’m surprised it ran at all.. its much faster on a real amd64 machine!
Hey, you don’t need a 64-bit CPU to run Qemu’s 64-bit emulated CPU… although it’d be the only sane option.
And it was a first-gen P3 too! Slot 1 fun!
true, but a fast CPU helps, which sadly, the P3 isn’t.
hey could you see if this works:

I only compiled it but never tried… if it does can you send a screenshot?
I can try… I’ve got no idea if Aros x86_64 can run 32bit stuff…. but I guess I can just run the 32bit version of Aros.
