Its much easier to debug on the 32-bit OS rather than the 64-bit one, especially for hardware like dongles, my friend

Once we are done with the debugging and patching/emulating on the 32-bit OS, it becomes a lot faster to port it over to the 64-bit one.

Doing the debugging right from the start on a 64-bit OS, wastes much more time due to enforced driver-signing requirements etc (that need to be bypassed first without breaking the dongle drivers etc in some cases).

That is the reason why not only me but a lot of other researchers also prefer to do their initial debugging on a 32-bit OS if possible.

My "main" OS continues to be a 64-bit one from the last 15 years at least, of course...

Its only for the purposes of debugging, that the 32-bit OS is preferred over the 64-bit one.

Cheers
