summary

FEX-Emu is a new emulator aimed at running x86 and x86-64 games on AArch64 better than QEMU by focusing on gaming performance. It covers technical challenges of translating 32-bit x86 games into a 64-bit process and the unexpected issues that arise when translating x86/x64 instruction semantics to ARM/AArch64. The talk also outlines problems encountered during development and the project's future plans.
