Usage guide

A nice and clean start is using the felix86 shell:

felix86 --shell

This will disable logging and start a bash or zsh shell with a custom prompt.

If you want logging to be enabled, execute the shell manually:

felix86 /path/to/rootfs/bin/bash

If you don’t want a shell, you can just run the program directly:

felix86 /path/to/rootfs/usr/bin/nano

If installed in binfmt_misc (handled by install script, or with sudo -E felix86 -b) you can simply run x86 programs that are inside the rootfs:

/path/to/rootfs/MyGame.AppImage

If you want to run a program outside the rootfs, you will be prompted to trust the parent directory:

/path/to/some/dir/MyGame.AppImage

Compatibility

There’s a compatibility list:

If you want to try a game that is not listed, you can make a compatibility report here:

There’s thunking support for GLX (OpenGL on X11). You can enable it using FELIX86_ENABLED_THUNKS=glx. It is not perfect and may lead to problems.
