A core "deep feature" of ExaGear for devices like the Anbernic RG351 series (RG351P/M/V) is its ability to perform binary translation of x86 Windows instructions into ARM-compatible code. This allows these handhelds to run legitimate, 32-bit Windows applications and games that were never designed for a mobile processor.
ExaGear 351 is not a standalone emulator. It is a specialized, community-ported version of Eltechs' ExaGear—a proprietary x86-to-ARM translation layer. In simple terms, it is a "wrapper" that tricks Windows PC games into believing they are running on an Intel x86 processor, when in fact they are running on the RG351’s Rockchip RK3326 ARM CPU.
Diablo II (Classic): Runs smoothly, though managing the mouse cursor with an analog stick takes some practice.
: Because it is translating x86 code to ARM, there is a significant performance hit. Heavy 3D games usually do not run at playable framerates. Setup Complexity
