This talk explores how to run x86 games on ARM64 laptops using FEX-EMU, an open-source emulator optimized for gaming performance. Learn about the technical challenges of x86-32/64 emulation on ARM platforms, including Total Store Ordering (TSO) memory models, X87 floating point operations, and library thunking techniques that improve performance. Discover how to install and use FEX-EMU on your ARM64 Linux device, understand its performance characteristics through benchmarks, and explore alternative emulation options. Whether you're a developer, Linux enthusiast, or simply interested in gaming on ARM64 hardware, gain practical knowledge about running commercial games that don't offer native ARM binaries. The presentation includes a comprehensive introduction to x86 emulators, detailed explanations of technical challenges, and may feature a live demonstration if time permits.
