I will eventually purchase 64 bit equipment, but I'd like to do a feasibility test first. qemu doesn't yet support a ix64 target. How far are we from that? Is anyone working on it? Is it as simple as implementing some extra opcodes or are there fundamental issues? I've implemented a simple sh2 emulator in a previous project; I understand just a little of how qemu might work. I may be able to help. Thanks, Joe
