No, leave the default 8 GB, it's dynamic; the size isn't fixed. VMware adjusts the size based on the data stored.

That was a very fast installation!

I'm very satisfied with how responsive AROS One 64bit is.

Now I can compile & test my MUI applications on 64bit.

Targa Datatype 64bit is working.

The new Stable Build 2026.09 was released today, so we can now begin building the new AROS One 1.4.

There will be many new features; in addition to the Core update, there will be a lot of software, including some I’ve developed myself.

Given the many new games and ports, to avoid creating an AROS One distribution that is too large and slow to install, I have decided to remove the games from AROS One and release them separately as AROS One Games v1.4, which in the future could become a standalone, self-booting distribution with a basic mini OS..

Important !!!!!

Do not update AROS One 64-Bit v11 with the new Build 2026.09, otherwise AROS One will not boot.

Essentially, parts of GRUB have been changed and updated. If you really want to update it with this build, do not copy the Boot/Grub folder; doing so will allow it to boot, but there is a risk of ending up with duplicate system files.

My advice for updating AROS One to 2026.09 is:

- Wait for the new version of AROS One 64-bit based on this new Build 2026.09; this will be available in a few weeks or sooner, depending on when I finish testing some of my new software that’s currently in development.

- Alternatively, there is Build 20250418-1-U4, an update package that upgrades AROS One 64-bit version 20250418-1 to version 2026.09. This package does not include the GRUB update.

When do you think you are going to release version 1.4?

Stay tuned there's a lot of new stuff coming. I'm running numerous tests to minimize any imperfections as much as possible.
