    That’d be cool.

    I mean, can’t you just run it with qemu-user anyway?

      Let me know if I don’t know enough about what you are talking about, but I think your saying to use qemu to o run windows.

      This is about running x86 code on arm processors, like what Apple does with Rosetta.

        Qemu can emulate one architecture on another. And qemu-user can be used to run a single userspace-program on a different architecture.

          I 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.
