Quake4 on RPi4
-
Has anyone seen this?
It's a bit choppy, but under emulation of box86, seems impressive though.
An earlier version of the same video on reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/SBCGaming/comments/gfjvwg/quake_4_on_rpi4_with_box86_and_the_new_mesa/sees the poster requesting a change to the mesa drivers to request S3TC decompression.
Seems our Pi4's are capable of so much more with additional driver support!

The question is, can both box86 and the game be installed from a Retropie script? I'm still banging my head against a wall about how to get the i386 architecture libraries to install correctly (because i386 is a foreign architecture and Rasbian REALLY doesn't want to do that on an ARM system, yet Exagear's install scripts did both i386 and i686 with no problems). This looks more like a Desktop install, but MIGHT be playable from Retropie once the legwork is done.

@evan Interesting, if the Pi Foundation keep bringing out newer generation Pi computers then before long it'll be running Crysis, after Pi 5 or 6.
Look how far technology has come, in the early 2000's we would have struggled to get games like Quake 4 running well on single core CPU setups with ATI 9600xt GPU's which were built in bulky ATX towers, now it is running on a pocket sized desktop PC.
