What is Hangover?

This is Hangover, a project started by André Zwing and Stefan Dösinger in 2016 to run (x86_64)/x86_32 Windows applications on aarch64/(ppc64le)/x86_64 Wine. (Architectures in brackets are currently not supported).

How it works

In fact it now uses the WoW64 support in Wine + an emulator to run e.g. ARM32 on x86_64 or i386 on ARM64. This is completely different from earlier versions of Hangover, which used QEMU and broke out of emulation at the win32 API level.

Status

While the overall stability was improved, expect crashes.

Emulator integrations:

  • QEMU: Mostly done, though needs fixes for stability and CriticalSection
  • FEX: WIP 80%, not part of this repository yet, but available as preview point_left
  • Blink: started, not part of this repository yet
  • hex-emu: not started yet
  • Box32: doesn't exist yet

How to build

Currently QEMU is built as a library which is used in Wine. This is a license conflict, so there'll be no binaries for download. This will change with other emulators.
