"We were talking with a few developers that we knew were the right fit for an undertaking like that, a long-term thing that needed a very specific set of experts,"
"We worked hard on trying to convince these guys to start the project, and have been funding them ever since."
"They trusted me with the responsibility of designing and frameworking the project in a way that it can work long-term; not only for their use cases but also keeping it an open project that anyone can adapt for their own use cases."
Valve initiated and has funded the open-source FEX emulator to enable Windows-native PC games to run on Arm hardware. Valve recruited and convinced specialized developers to start and maintain the long-term project. Valve plans to use FEX for its first Arm-based headset, the Steam Frame, to run Windows-native games without native ports. Valve began planning Arm support as early as 2016 and anticipated roughly a decade of development to reach robust compatibility for large libraries. FEX is already used with Valve-supported tools like Proton to power popular PC emulators on Arm phones and tablets.
