vvctre VS dynarmic

Citra won't run well on a GPD Win 2. You should use VVCTRE instead.

They're probably referring to dynarmic: https://github.com/merryhime/dynarmic

As an HLE, touchHLE is radically different from a low-level emulator (LLE) like QEMU. The only code the emulated CPU executes is the app binary and a handful of libraries; touchHLE takes the place of iPhone OS and provides its own implementations of the system frameworks (Foundation, UIKit, OpenGL ES, OpenAL, etc).

https://github.com/merryhime/dynarmic/pull/697 - Dynarmic implementing Arm backend support. Dynarmic is a dynamic recompiler for ARM.

I did some work on Dynarmic, so there's my bias I guess. But I def believe Dynarmic would emit better context-aware assembly than a CIL->Native jitteror the JVM would emit. Dynarmic takes advantage of instruction sets like BMI2 and AVX{2,512} and uses a pretty darn concise intermediate representation to the original ARM assembly to emit efficient x86 while a C# JIT probably still only emits baseline x86-64 and struggles with efficient vectorization of things like Arm's NEON instructions. Can't even imagine a C# or Java VM trying to automatically emit optimal assembly for an FMADD including handling NaN propagation or detecting that FMINNM can be very quickly emulated with a single vrangep{s,d} x86 instruction.

For emulators, it's currently used in dynarmic(Yuzu's ARM-to-x86 recompiler backend) for the fast emulation of ARM's NEON instruction set.
