UTM team introduces Triton, a new Windows driver that brings full DirectX 11 support to QEMU virtual machines, building on their earlier Neptune Direct3D protocol forwarding layer. This enables running Windows games like Crash Bandicoot Trilogy on ARM64 VMs with significantly better performance than previous approaches that relied on DLL replacement tricks.
Background
UTM is a popular virtualization app for macOS and iOS that uses QEMU under the hood. The team has been working on graphics acceleration for VMs through their Neptune project, which forwards Direct3D calls across the hypervisor boundary.
