Seeking information to build software to support windows software apps to run on upcoming Snapdragon X Elite arm processor?
The open-source and performant ones are https://fex-emu.com/ and https://box86.org/, but they are not written in Rust. Their documentation is probably the best bet if you want to build something along these lines.

Maybe Box86/64? https://box86.org/

Have you ever tried to run STEAMCMD on a Beaglebone Black ?
On the official repo if you scroll down there is steam compatibility and it says that in the root of the repo there is the steam install script. https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86
- Wine on chromebook

Steam not available ?
That means it'll need a 32-bit emulator to run on, but as it says on box86.org, box86 only runs on 32-bit ARM chips. Hence it runs on a Pi2 but not a Pi3 or higher.

Factorio on Arm: A Benchmark
Recently, I got a server from Oracle Cloud, having 4 cores and 24GB of RAM. Then, using a software called Box86 and its 64 bit version called Box64, I succeeded in running Factorio! Unfortunately, 1.1.80 ran at 3 UPS! I went through each major version, testing each individual one down to 0.12. Here are my results!

Does my white thinkpad count~?
Unfortunately box86 requires a little-endian processor, and the G4 is a big-endian processor so it won’t work

runing factorio on raspberry pi 5 4gb ram
Also, in the discussions of box64 is this thread: https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64/discussions/524 My guess is that you have to install both box64 and box86, the latest mesa drivers with vulkan support. And then try to launch the game with proton. There is also this issue that shows factorio running on a Rock 5B: https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86-compatibility-list/issues/284

New version of Box86 and Box64 unlocks Steam Big Picture Mode and Heroic Games Launcher on ARM
The GPU on the Pi isn't ideal though. It only supports Vulkan 1.0, and doesn't support desktop OpenGL (only OpenGL ES). The older RK3399 in the PinePhone Pro will let you run Left 4 Dead 2 on it: https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86-compatibility-list/issues/135

Batocera on Raspberry Pi 4 can it do this?
For box86 compatibility (not batocera related), you can check there: https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86-compatibility-list or just search for box86 on youtube.

SC:BW always ran fine for me in Fedora, Ubuntu and other x86 distros. Qemu overhead is acceptable, so please how do I run it in AARCH64 distros such as AOSP? There is literally no other RTS on Earth with use-map-settings scripting allowed in it! :(
Starcraft: Broodwar is an x86 application. To run it on arm you would need to use something like box86 + wine. However box86 does not list SC:BW in their compatibility list so it might not even work. There is also this for openpandora.

Odin: The Ultimate Gaming Handheld - IndieGoGo Preview here...
So if we get Linux on this, we'd be able to run box86 which lets you run x86 (and x64) Linux programs on ARM. https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86-compatibility-list/issues for some compatibility.
