Box86 and box64 for Raspberry Pi

Project home page: https://box86.org/

Linux Userspace x86 emulator (with a twist) ;)

Box86 lets you run x86 Linux programs (such as games) on non-x86 Linux systems, like ARM (host system needs to be 32bit little-endian).

Installation via apt repository

# Box86 repository
sudo wget https://itai-nelken.github.io/weekly-box86-debs/debian/box86.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/box86.list
wget -qO- https://itai-nelken.github.io/weekly-box86-debs/debian/KEY.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt update && sudo apt install box86 -y

# Box64 repository
sudo wget https://ryanfortner.github.io/box64-debs/box64.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/box64.list
wget -O- https://ryanfortner.github.io/box64-debs/KEY.gpg | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/box64-debs-archive-keyring.gpg 
sudo apt update && sudo apt install box64 -y

Easy method- install via Pi-Apps

Thanks to @Itai-Nelken's daily builds, you can install either box64 or box86 as a deb file!

Compiling

a build for model 2, 3 and 4 can be done. Model 1 and 0 cannot (at least not with Dynarec, as they lack NEON support)

git clone https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86
cd box86
mkdir build; cd build; cmake .. -DRPI4=1 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
make -j4
sudo make install
sudo systemctl restart systemd-binfmt

For Pi4. Change to RPI2 or RPI3 for other models. Change to RPI4ARM64 for compiling on arm64. (armhf multiarch or chroot required alongside armhf gcc. Install it with ‘sudo apt install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf’.)
