Q3 2026 Roadmap: Recompiled JIT, Low-Latency Audio, and a Refreshed UI

Q3 2026 Roadmap: Recompiled JIT, Low-Latency Audio, and a Refreshed UI

With the v0.6.0 release behind us, here’s what the team is focused on for the third quarter of 2026.

1. New JIT engine

The current dynamic recompiler generates unoptimized x86-64 code. The rewrite in progress introduces an interference-graph register allocator, expected to bring a 25-35% performance gain in CPU-bound games.

2. Low-latency audio

We’re migrating the audio backend to WASAPI exclusive mode on Windows and PipeWire on Linux, aiming to drastically reduce the audio crackling reported by many users.

3. Refreshed user interface

A new Dear ImGui-based UI with native dark theme support, save management, and direct integration with the compatibility list shown on this site.

As always, the project remains fully open-source under the GPL-2.0 license and does not require or distribute any copyrighted files.
