app-emulation/fex-xtajit Enable x86 (32-bit) emulation using wow64 Enable x86 (32-bit) emulation using wow64
app-emulation/wine-proton Enable the "new" wow64 mode that allows running 32bit applications without 32bit ELF multilib by mapping to 64bit calls. Generally works well with wine-11.0 or newer, but may or may not have a small perforamce impact or other issues. If USE=mingw is set, still need the default abi_x86_32 set on dev-util/mingw64-toolchain but that can be done even with /no-multilib/ profiles. This can also be enabled on arm64 to allow running x86 applications via binary translation.
