Bug ID: 38892 Summary: Please support more architectures. Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: loader Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: ytrezq@sdf-eu.org Distribution: ---
Hello,
It might sound useless but the WINAPI supported Itanium PPC MIPSR4000 and dec alpha in the past.
While windows doesn't provide updates for those platforms, compiling programs written for the WINAPI to those arch is the best way to get decent speeds (not to add the need of support for ARC firmware which prevent running them on recent ppc).
Of course this is not for emulating instructions sets but for running windows programs natively on those platforms.
For testing on x86 an ARC bios for MIPS which can work on qemu is documented here http://gunkies.org/wiki/Installing_Windows_NT_4.0_on_Qemu(MIPS) Visual C++ RISC editions for those platforms are available here http://bingeflying.com/3.2/

--- Comment #1 from ytrezq@sdf-eu.org --- Ok Windows also Supported The ISA IV with MIPSR10000 as separate platforms (different loads addresses…)

--- Comment #2 from Ken Sharp imwellcushtymelike@gmail.com --- Do you have a use case for these platforms? If not then it's pointless and nobody will waste time on them.
Anyone can submit patches, once tested correctly, for those architectures.

Yes I do at a user level. However as a student, I don’t have the required knowledge yet for creating patches yet.

--- Comment #4 from Alexander Huemer ahm4ooshaa2v@xx.vu --- Old thread, I know. I want to +1 this request. Admittedly there is no huge missed opportunity lurking behind the corner due to unusual Windows architectures not being supported. Still, it would be neat to be able to run programs written for IA64/AXP/PPC/MIPS. So, if somebody feels inclined to give this a go, I'd appreciate it.
