Pmail on ARM x64 (Snapdragon)

Some time ago I asked whether Pegasus could be installed on a computer running the ARM processor instead of Intel (in particular, with Snapdragon in the Microsoft Profile)--no seemed to have an answer. So I am reporting that I have not had any problem using the -roaming installation I already had on a thumb drive. I have not, of course, tried all functions, but receiving (with filter) and sending seem to work o.k.

Looked at a couple things, and biggest issue I saw was ARM has a suit againg what appears to be the company making the Snapdragon X??


From the machine side, it seems it is a windows machine running on the ARM chip, so is running a version of windows natively with the ARM chip. The system does seem to have a Prism eumulator that handles x86/x64 programs that don't have ARM versions. The video watched had a number of programs that worked fine with no issues, but there were a few that just would not run via the Prism, so it is going to be hit or miss. The person did have a couple apps that were critical for his use, but nothing I've used. He did also note that it has big issues with gaming software.


Pegasus being a basic 32bit program, don't see were there would be an issue with gaming programs. Pegasus works fine under the wine emulator with the exception of the IERenderer part.


Person seemed happy with many features of teh Snapdragon X, especially with battery live, but concluded that with the critical apps not working on the ARM, was going to stick with Intel/AMD for work.


Again, depending on how the suit works out, don't know what future will be.
Good Luck.
