How can I run Box64 on an x86_64 system without bypassing it?

[parkjunhyung2021046762]

Hello,

My system is based on the x86_64 architecture, and I am trying to run Box64 in a normal way without bypassing it.

However, from what I understand, Box64 is mainly designed for ARM systems to run x86_64 binaries. In my case, since my host is already x86_64, I’m not sure how to properly use Box64 without bypassing its functionality.

Is there a way to run Box64 on an x86_64 system as intended, without modifying or bypassing its behavior? Or is this fundamentally not supported due to architectural reasons?

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Box64 can run on x86_64 system, with Interpreter only (so it will be slow). Just prefix what you want to run with "box64"... like /PATH/TO/box64 ./myprogram

Then can I still obtain assembly or instruction-level traces using options such as BOX64_TRACE on x86_64 system? I already tried using the BOX64_TRACE option, but it seems that it does not output assembly or memory-level code.

Yes, that will work too. But you need a Trace enabled build (with the -DHAVE_TRACE option at the cmake command). You also need libZydis dev package installed on your system to build and the libZydis library to have trace (else the BOX64_TRACE will just be ignored).
