EmuV0 is an emulator that allows running many of the 32-bit AROS applications under 64-bit AROS in an integrated and transparent way. As we are closing on migration to 64-bit system, EmuV0 fills the remaining software gap until native ports arrive. Focus in version 1.0 was on bringing 32-bit Hollywood applications and Hollywood 11 compiler to 64-bit, but many non-Hollywood application are also usable. Enjoy the software you like using on a brand new, 64-bit AROS system!
EmuV0 will be integrated into upcoming release of AROS One and AROS Portable distributions.

With EmuV0 you open 32-bit application as if they were 64-bit application, they get real 64-bit windows, screens, tasks etc. You can't really tell it's a 32-bit application running.
It's like running m68k applications under AmigaOS4 or MorphOS, but simply x86(32-bit)->x86(64-bit) instead of m68k(32-bit)->PPC(32-bit).

Good to see the progress of 64-bit AROS. Having a very well integrated 32-bit emulator like this makes a lot of sense. Once EmuV0 has matured a little, changing to 64-bit AROS will obviously be a much more attractive option .
