Dolphin Emulator dropping 32-bit support, focuses on 64-bit

[Fishaman P]

As a small nitpick, the announcement should say that PC 32-bit support is being dropped. 32-bit ARM support isn't going anywhere.

I really won't miss 32-bit, and it'll make user support MUCH easier. My only gripe is that the AV-Sync hack has weird issues which make it a pain on 64-bit, but fine on 32-bit. Really it's because of the outdated, bad patch, but it's still an issue nonetheless.

My opinion of the 32-bit removal:

The versions that are 32-bit still work rather well, so it's not as if those without 64-bit OS are being left in the dust.

Do go on... it is not like 32 bit is getting more powerful for what it is and to make further improvements they need to leave old tech behind.

I assume you read the reason why it was removed, right? 32-bit OSes are far more limited (only supports 3.75 GB of RAM max), they didn't want to maintain both 64-bit and 32-bit versions, not to mention 32-bit OSes will not be around for much longer.
