ARMing x86 Games: Accelerating Binary Translation Using Software-Only Validated Flag Speculation

As ARM architecture becomes more prevalent in personal computers, users transitioning from x86-based Windows platforms face compatibility issues, particularly with x86 applications like games. Existing solutions, such as QEMU, Box64, and Apple's Rosetta 2, either incur high latency, face performance bottlenecks, or are limited to specific ecosystems. A key challenge remains the efficient translation of x86 status flags, which impacts performance.

Abstract

As ARM architecture becomes more prevalent in personal computers, users transitioning from x86-based Windows platforms face compatibility issues, particularly with x86 applications like games. Existing solutions, such as QEMU, Box64, and Apple's Rosetta 2, either incur high latency, face performance bottlenecks, or are limited to specific ecosystems. A key challenge remains the efficient translation of x86 status flags, which impacts performance.
