The 64 bits linux and mac VM have been working for more than 6 months. They've been in production in a company since April or something like that. Latest product are built by Travis and available here: https://bintray.com/opensmalltalk/vm/cog#files. Pharo provides a Pharo-flavored VM with a different logo and additional plugins. No 64 bits Pharo-flavored VM seems to be available, so the support right now is incomplete on 64bits due to missing plugins (no FreeType, Cairo binding, etc.), however I am taking care that the Pharo image still starts and works normally on the main build, so only some features are not working.
The 64 bits Pharo image is available on http://files.pharo.org/image/60/ (See for example latest-64.zip). The FFI plugin is working but the UFFI front-end may have little issues. The issues should be minor so the complete support shouldn't take long.

It has been merged with the main code base recently. 64 bits windows VM are not compiled automatically yet so you have to compile it yourself if you want to use it. The repo is here: https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm and the build.win64x64 folder has a HowToBuild file. > Also will it make the Windows VM even more unstable, or can it help? > #askingforafriend > Precise what you are talking about and I can answer. > On Tue, Aug 16, 2016 at 12:19 PM, Esteban Lorenzano <esteba...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> >> > On 15 Aug 2016, at 23:09, Gour <g...@atmarama.com> wrote: >> > >> > On Mon, 15 Aug 2016 22:44:49 +0200 >> > "Cyril Ferlicot D." >> > <cyril.ferli...@gmail.com> wrote: >> > >> > Hello Cyril, >> > >> >> 64bits support should be ready for Pharo 6! >> > >> > That's great to hear!!
