Initial release Windows 10
Latest release / Windows 11
For emulators that run natively on Windows with x86 CPUs, see Emulators on Windows.
This is a list of emulators which have native ARM64 builds., unofficial/unsupported builds will be labelled.

Windows on ARM is the nickname for Microsoft's current support for the ARM architecture, in Windows 10 & 11.

Microsoft previously has had limited support ARM, the previous operating systems being Windows CE, and Windows RT. Windows CE only supporting PDAs and Windows RT being locked-down, only running Microsoft approved applications, unless jail-broken.

Before diving in
  • Due to ARM support being new many emulators do not provide builds, but are build-able on ARM devices.
  • Windows 10 & 11 support emulation of x86 and x86_64 CPUs to run x86 or x86_64 applications on ARM, so using emulators made for x86 Windows may work. Note that the x86 emulation may produce bugs, especially when emulating more recent systems.
  • See each Wiki Category Consoles, Computers and Arcade for individual dedicated system pages to see provided up-to-date listings and in-depth information on specific aspects like hardware features, peripheral support, compatibility and also enhancements features etc.
