Actually x86_64. But who's counting?
Ahh ok.

And does it run on OS X?
Ahhhh, now we come to the root of the argument. :)
Well no, it's not my primary platform, assumptions aside.
Actually, I was totally baiting you and you exercised
good restraint.
Ahem.
I'm proud of you! (you're learning) :)
When I die, I'm gonna haunt you.
I suppose
most of the folk who would shy away from installing
the emulators by hand (which includes downloading pre-built
binaries and clicking "go") would probably be the Windows people
anyway.
Touch? pussy cat.
Chains rattling in the attic, the whole deal.
But seriously. We have an easy way to do what we're talking about
now, that runs on lots of different platforms. The emulators
themselves (at least the major ones) run on lots of different
platforms. You're proposing the adoption of a habit that would cut
the long list of platforms, upwards of twenty or more, down to
like...two. Bad idea.
But I suppose, that said, people wouldn't *have* to run those VMs..
