minus-squarebruce965linkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-25 days agoI might be very mistaken, but I don’t think QEMU can link mixed-architecture dependencies. Box86 can run an x86 game on ARM and link ARM-native shared objects for OpenGL, thus skipping emulation of some hotpath code.

This is what I was refering to.
