    Box86 - Linux Userspace x86 Emulator with a twist, targeted at ARM Linux devices

  • If you have time and patience take a look at box86 and box64. These are basically like translation layers that allow x86/x86_64 applications to run on ARM. I personally haven't use them yet, so I can't provide a guide or vouch for game compatibilities. But by the look of the progress made by them so far it looks promising.
