Does box64 actually benefit from muvm? I thought they were doing the fake page size emulation thing...

This should probably be a command line argument, I'm not sure if automatically falling back to box64 makes sense. That could cause confusion for users who don't understand that the config is based on what packages are installed.

For some context:

• [BOX32] Getting the native Linux version of steam working on Apple silicon ptitSeb/box64#1780 (comment)

I think we should close this PR, unless someone wants to take this on.

Otherwise we should just wait for @ptitSeb

Yes it does benifit from proper 4K pagesize

I thought they were doing the fake page size emulation thing...

There is a fake 4k page size simulation, but it's not a perfect emulation. Far from it. It allow some linux program to be load easily, but everything that rely on 4k pagesize will just not work (like wine or steam).

This should probably be a command line argument, I'm not sure if automatically falling back to box64 makes sense. That could cause confusion for users who don't understand that the config is based on what packages are installed.

While a command line argument is fine, I don't see why automatic fallback to box64 if present would be confusing.

Right now muvm is required for wine to work under box64

I'm OK with this
