Itanium is dead. Nobody even makes an emulator for it. Just let it die already...
- badgersnake 2y agoIt’s a funny one because it’s not like it ever really took off. Architectures like m68k are also probably pretty dead, but there’s a ton of these chips out there in embedded or retro kit and you can probably find one to test on if you need it.
- rbanffy 2y agoIt was never a big lineup as well. For any generation there were only a few models.
- Findecanor 2y agoThere are also newer M68K cores designed by retro-enthusiasts to run in FPGA, either as emulator or as CPU accelerator in vintage computers. An example, the Apollo 68080: http://apollo-computer.com/apollo68080.php http://apollo-computer.com/apollo68080.php
- duskwuff 2y agoThe Amiga crowd is probably the main reason m68k is still supported at all. It's a neat architecture but basically all of the hardware is out of production and has specifications which are untenable for a modern Linux system (<50 MHz, <256 MB RAM).
- Y_Y 2y agoOf course someone made an emulator! For example: https://github.com/itanium64/Rosalia64 https://github.com/itanium64/Rosalia64 (I don't know what pleasure someone can get out of declaring something "dead", but it's clearly a popular hobby.)
- nubinetwork 2y agoI was referring to a system emulator like qemu... that repo seems to only run windows exe files?
