Box64 Emulator Released for Arm64 Linux
|
|||
|
|
======
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[Box86][1], the popular x86 emulator, has just received a huge upgrade. This comes in the form of [Box64][2], the ARM64 equivalent.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you did not know, Box64_86 lets you run 64-bit or 32-bit Linux programs on ARM systems. In other words, it makes it possible for you to access desktop Linux programs on your Raspberry Pi or [Raspberry Pi alternatives][3].
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Fortunately, now we have Box86 and Box64 to the rescue no matter what type of ARM system you’ve got.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### What is Box64?

|
You may have heard about Apple’s Rosetta 2, a translation layer that allows apps designed for older Macs to run on the new M1-powered Macs. Box64 is something similar that allows apps designed for x86 to run on ARM Linux devices.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It manages to do this all while being 100% open-source, free, and surprisingly fast, thanks to its Dynarec module. This improves speed by re-compiling the program for ARM, meaning that it runs the same as any other ARM-supported app.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
However, even if Box64 is unable to recompile the app, it can still run it using on-the-fly emulation, with impressive results here too.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Many Raspberry Pi users will be familiar with Box86, a similar program that has been around for about a year now. The biggest difference is that Box86 is only compatible with Arm32, while Box64 is only compatible with Arm64.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So that’s Box64, the awesome compatibility layer that allows users to run x86_64 apps on your ARM-based PCs.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Wrapping Up
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you were to ask me what I think about Box64, I would say it’s an absolute game changer. Between the incredible performance and massive potential, this compatibility layer is sure to play a huge role in the future ARM-based Linux PCs.
|
|||

|
|||
|
|
Check out its [GitHub page][5] if you are curious to know how it works, and how you can get started with it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
With that, I’ll leave you now to dive into and test for yourself.
