About the project

A research project for running x86-64 Windows games on a non-jailbroken iPhone by combining Wine, FEX-Emu (x86-64 → ARM64 translation) and DXMT (D3D11 → Metal) in a single Mach process.

Useful for

Build and sideload the app on an iPhone with an Apple ID to run Windows games
Test a specific game's compatibility through Wine + FEX-Emu + DXMT
Study the ARM64EC and x86-64 translation implementation on iOS
