Windows ARM support

Feature Request

Howdy! I wanted to say that the work done by the XEMU developers is truly amazing, being able to launch XBOX on my Mac is truly something I did not picture ever happening <3

Since the MAC version is universal, made me wonder about ARM as a whole... It would mean a lot if you could consider adding ARM64 support for Windows devices. Or, at the very least consider making a compiler on ARM so that we can build an ARM64 version of XEMU for windows.

While I know these sorts of things are very complicated and time consuming, I think it would be great to make this amazing emulator friendly with a lot of other platforms in windows. Thank you!

Additional Context

There is a lot of promising ARM devices coming up this year, and it would be nice if XEMU was ahead in that sense... Other popular emulators have had ways to build for ARM or have ARM builds, like Dolphin, PPSSPP and Duckstation <3

I second that! Would definitely be awesome! However xemu is quite resource consuming since LLE. So I wouldn‘t expect it to run on lower end devices.

Same.... sadly no devs have responded yet :(

Bump, with Snapdragon Elite being available now, demand should be up.

Agreed, we should release xemu builds for Windows on ARM.

@talynone Are you interested in helping to look into it?

[talynone]

@mborgerson I'd be happy to help test. Trying to do any dev work is a bit beyond my current comfort level. I'm on a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x with 32GB of memory.

Yes please, it would feel a bit anachronistic to get a working Xbox360 emulation solution but nothing for the (less demanding) Classic Xbox.

Would love to see this! Have recently switched from a Macbook Air M1 to the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge, and I've been very impressed with the increased performance on a lot of emulators, so I was hoping the same would be true of Xemu, but, while it opens, it always crashes as soon as I add in the BIOS to the system, so I can't actually use it.
