Hi All,

After two days of solving compilation and memory corruption errors, I finally get a first teaser screen shot of Odyssey working on 64-bit!

I guess this is the first ever 64-bit browser in Amiga-land.

Not yet usable, but at some point I should be able to share alpha versions for people who want to test.

Thanks deadwood, as soon as it is available I could test it on AROS One 64Bit !

Will there also be a 32Bit version?

Yes, both versions will be releases in parallel

Great Deadwood thank you

And now it actually connects and renders websites

Good

I have a laptop ready to host the 64-bit version of aros

deadwood

Great work. This is a much needed web browser.

Congrats!!

Well, it has taken me much more time than anticipated but... OWB 64-bit now works on Linux and Windows (through WSL) using AxRuntime! See attached screen shots.

These are still alpha versions and pretty unstable, but starting from today I can finally use Odyssey on daily basis.

This post is made using Odyssey from Linux

Thanks deadwood, what differences are there with what we have on x86?

is the same recompiled version

That's some really good news that 64 bit is working.

Thanks for your efforts. Much appreciated.

@AMIGASYSTEM

Functionality-wise it is the same. The difference is that 64-bit can address more RAM and CPU has newer instructions, so in effect the compiled binary and JIT might run faster. Additionally, on AxRuntime SMP is enabled, so the browser can use multiple CPU cores to render/work faster on heavy sites.

it is interesting to know that on axruntime the smp is enabled but I am not able to make an ad hoc distribution

the idea would be to start from the base of linux by taking the basic packages to boot the DE and then axruntime, i will wait patiently for future updates, the idea of using aros on each computer is interesting but i don't want to install a whole distribution and then boot aros like you do on windows with winuae
