Overview[edit]

FEX is not a traditional emulator the way RPCS3 and Dolphin is. As a usermode emulator, it works similarly to qemu-user and Box86 which allow one processor architecture to run on another through translation. The difference is FEX uses the static-single-assignment approach for intermediate representation of code.

FEX was first showcased getting in-game on Counter Strike: Global Offensive in April 2021.[1]
