Igalia has resumed work on new FUTEX syscalls to support Valve's ARM64 gaming efforts through FEX-Emu and other emulation layers. André Almeida posted an updated patch series rebased against the latest kernel, addressing a race condition and adapting to recent VDSO changes.
Madeira is a research project that enables Windows PC games to run on non-jailbroken iPhones by combining Wine, FEX-Emu, and DXMT to translate and render x86 code natively on ARM64 devices. Games like Thumper and ULTRAKILL are playable, though the project remains experimental with rough edges and requires weekly reinstallation via sideloading due to iOS JIT limitations.
