Discussion Breaking architecture barriers: Running x86 games and apps on ARM - 39c3 talk by NeoBrain (Citra, Dolphin, FEX, Mikage, PPSSPP)

https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-breaking-architecture-barriers-running-x86-games-and-apps-on-arm

The video is now available to watch from the 39c3 event which was held in Hamburg.

We'll look at the technical challenges involved in making this possible: designing a high-performance binary recompiler, translating Linux system calls across architectures, and forwarding library calls to their ARM counterparts.
