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.

I only compiled it but never tried… if it does can you send a screenshot?

In reply to ampharos. true, but a fast CPU helps, which sadly, the P3 isn't.

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!

In reply to ampharos. on a p3? I'm surprised it ran at all.. its much faster on a real amd64 machine!

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.
