Pre-built 64-bit binaries (note that the goal for RSqueak/VM to support all
image formats that are <= the native word size - so the 64-bit VMs should open
both 32-bit and 64-bit images; it should simply be faster. Due to limitations of
the underlying RPython toolchain, Windows binaries cannot currently be built in
64-bit mode):
We also have experimental builds for Raspberry Pi:
Finding a working image
Although RSqueak can load images starting with Squeak 2, many primitives are not
implemented and instead rely on in-image fallback code to be available and
correct. For example, we do not have a BitBlt implementation, so unprepared
images will simply stay black. This is why only a Trunk image of Squeak with the
latest version of VMMaker from the VMMaker.oscog branch fully works. Try this in
a recent Trunk image to prepare it for use with RSqueak/VM:
(Installer squeak project: 'VMMaker') install: 'VMMaker.oscog'.
MCMcmUpdater updateFromServer.Note that RSqueak/VM will always save images in 32-bit Cog-Spur format,
regardless of what it was when you opened it. So make sure to save as new
version if you want to keep the original around.
