      I have no access to other environment setting, so, sadly, that's the best I can do for now.

      But based on my understanding, playing this on Linux or newer NPU generations might be possible. I have recorded my hypotheses in [0]. Verifying the hypotheses would require additional utility tools, which I am stilling crafting.

        Windows comes with the ability to do wsl so you somewhat have Linux as well even though it&#x27;s limited in some ways. May be worth a shot cross compiling it.

          Yes. But WSL doesn&#x27;t come with NPU passthrough, so I still can&#x27;t test the hardware-specific behavior. Cross-compiling the project with WSL is plausible. I will try it and leave for the community to do verification.
