Compatibility for iOS? #674
Description
I would love to be able to use something like this to finally be able to do something so extreme it will make every apple lover cry out in rage... run Undertale on an iPhone. In all seriousness though, it would be awesome if you could make it work on iOS. Although I can see that iOS is very different from linux and it would probably require a lot of work. I am honestly just curious if its possible or if ill be stuck with UTM.

Box86/box64 are not system emulator, but more "compatibility layer", using the actual system on whta it is running on and "just" translate the CPU, keeping most of the libraries calls as-is.
I'm not familiar with the inners of iOS (is it based on BSD like macOS?), but, to give an example, even Android (that is based on Linux), box86 doesn't run directly and needs a software like "Termux" to have a full Linux system to then run box86.
So, I guess a Termux like software would be needed first.
