User mode emulation works out of the box when invoked explicitly:
./QEMU*.AppImage qemu-aarch64 ./program
Running a foreign binary directly (or inside a chroot/container) instead needs a binfmt_misc handler, which is a root-only kernel operation and cannot be set up from AppImage. Install host package qemu-user-static-binfmt (or qemu-user-binfmt) if you want that.

Supports -enable-kvm, TPM, UEFI (GPU passthrough), virtiofsd and audio.

By default it runs
qemu-system-x86_64but if needed to emulate other platforms (contains all platforms like arm hppa m68k ppc sh4 etc) or run other tools likeqemu-imgorqemu-user, e.g. you can do the following:
# To emulate i386 system
./QEMU*.AppImage qemu-system-i386
# To create qemu images
./QEMU*.AppImage qemu-img
# To use x86_64 qemu user mode emulation
./QEMU*.AppImage qemu-x86_64
# To use i386 qemu user mode emulation
./QEMU*.AppImage qemu-i386
# To mount qemu image
./QEMU*.AppImage qemu-ndb
# To exercise the QEMU I/O path
./QEMU*.AppImage qemu-io
# To use block drivers (included curl dmg gluster iscsi nfs ssh)
./QEMU*.AppImage qemu-block-*
Or simply run ./QEMU*.AppImage --make-symlinks which will expose each bundled binary in ~/.local/bin as symlinks the AppImage (similar to how busybox works).
AppImage made using quick-sharun, which makes it extremely easy to turn any binary into a portable package reliably without using containers or similar tricks.
This AppImage bundles everything and it should work on any Linux distro, including old and musl-based ones.
This AppImage doesn't require FUSE to run at all, thanks to the uruntime.
This AppImage is also supplied with a self-updater by default, so any updates to this application won't be missed, you will be prompted for permission to check for updates and if agreed you will then be notified when a new update is available.
Self-updater is disabled by default if AppImage managers like am, soar or dbin exist, which manage AppImage updates.
