Maybe I have incorrectly express myself. :) I should have said "there is no software yet" rather than "there is no way". JIT is a nice idea, but for an MMU emulation, even with JIT, it is just too much ressources consuming, really to much. By the way, I took the example of ARAnyM which emulates more than a single processor, but a graphic card, system buses, and some other peripherals. Hence, my remark was misplaced. ;) Cheers. -- ((__,-"""-,__)) Aurélien GÉRÔME .---. `--)~ ~(--` Free Software Developer / \ .-'( )`-.
