The definitive transition from AROS x86 32-bit to AROS x86 64-bit ABIv11 is imminent. Most of the ‘most important’ 32-bit software has already been converted to 64-bit (see Aros Archive), and the rest can be used via a 32-bit emulator.

Software developed in Hollywood will all be supported by the ‘Emuv0’ emulator, as the author of Hollywood is not interested in 64-bit.

I have been testing the 32-bit emulator for a few days now, and many Hollywood software programmes already work on AROS One 64-bit. At the moment, the emulator is on File so that it can be tested with individual software programmes. Once testing is complete, ‘Emuv0’ will be integrated into the Core and 32-bit software ‘supported by emulation’ will work normally by clicking on it, in the same way as 64-bit Windows.

This are really good news, it makes AROS x86-64 ABIv11 much more usable.

If anyone has an existing 64-bit installation they can try the alpha-builds released in the thread linked by @AMIGASYSTEM. Test them with 32-bit application you need and which are not yet ported to 64-bit.

For the various emulations, shortcuts have been created on the BoingIconBar where you can launch the various emulations directly from the binary or through scripts to launch the applications or games directly.

For 32-bit, as already mentioned in other posts, it will be possible to launch supported Hollywood applications. All 32-bit software is located in a special folder named AROS-32Bit, see screenshot.

@deadwood

any settings to get AROS 64 working native (i.e. not hosted) in UTMapp?
