Run x86-64 Windows PC games on jailed iOS via FEX-Emu + Wine + DXMT

Madeira is a research project that runs x86-64 Windows PC games on non-jailbroken iPhones by combining Wine (ARM64EC), FEX-Emu for x86-64→ARM64 CPU translation, and DXMT for D3D11→Metal translation, all as a single iOS Mach process. Games like Thumper and ULTRAKILL are playable; expect rough edges.

Why now: It's generating attention because it demonstrates a genuinely hard feat — running Windows games on a stock, jailed iPhone via sideloaded JIT, with visible playable demos and active development.

Who it is for: iOS tinkerers and emulation enthusiasts willing to sideload, rebuild weekly, and tolerate per-game quirks.
