I'm wondering if there's any way to run games that require AVX support on a CPU that doesn't have AVX. My computer has an Intel Xeon X5675, and I'm particularly interested in playing Persona 5 Royal. I've tried using Intel's SDE emulator, but it seems like I'm not doing it right—it's not running smoothly at all. My laptop can handle the game, but I really want to play it on my desktop since it has better specs, except for the lack of AVX support. If this isn't the right place to ask, feel free to point me to a better subreddit!

Unfortunately, if your CPU doesn't support the required AVX instructions, you won't be able to run those games directly. There are some unofficial mods that claim to patch AVX2 instructions with compatible alternatives, but using those involves trusting third-party tools, which can sometimes carry risks like malware. About the SDE emulator, even if you manage to get it running, expect really poor performance. It usually makes apps run much slower than they would normally.
Actually, your Xeon X5675 does support AVX. You might want to double-check that—because if it's supported, you should be able to run AVX-enabled games. Just make sure your system is configured correctly!
Have you thought about cloud gaming? You can play games like Persona 5 through services like Boosteroid without worrying about your local hardware. It could be a good workaround!
