* On **Windows**, **x86 (32-bit)** is recommended even if you have a 64-bit system.
* On **Windows**, **x64** is the only option, as native ARM builds are currently not provided.
* x64 (64-bit) allows for emulating more than 2 GB of RAM on some later machines and using larger soundfonts with FluidSynth, at a slight performance loss.
* On **Linux**, select the correct architecture for your system, as most distributions lack x64-to-x86 and ARM64-to-ARM32 backwards compatibility by default.
* On **Linux**, select **x64** or **ARM** according to your system's architecture.
* On **macOS**, **Universal** supports both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.

These variants are no longer built by Jenkins and can only be :doc:`compiled from source <buildguide>`.
* 32-bit variants (**x86** and **ARM32**) as of September 3rd 2024.
* These variants were eliminated to better focus development on relevant 64-bit architectures, since systems old enough to be 32-bit-only lack the performance for a satisfactory emulation experience.
* Debug variants (**86Box-Debug**) as of April 2nd 2023.
* These variants were compiled with debug symbols and reduced optimizations to help with running the emulator under ``gdb`` or other debuggers. They were eliminated as the setup process for debugging grew closer to just compiling from source instead.
