    @shavecat if someone makes a port for it so it can work with retropie, maybe on the pi4.

    otherwise you would have to try it with the Win10 very for the Pi and even then its a maybe.

      So I was messing around trying to compile Falltergeist, https://github.com/falltergeist/falltergeist

      I installed the dependancies, cloned the github, built it, added my critter.dat and master.dat files and booted it...

      And it loads surprisingly:- The intro video plays nicely, the menus are all quick, you come into the game and it's basically a debug mode they have setup.

      I'm not sure, but based on the github it doesn't look like it's being worked on significantly which is a shame. But who knows maybe someone will take up the reigns on it someday and finish it... Or maybe not.

      Also it's listed on their proper website as a fallout1 & 2 engine. But I could only get it to load the fallout2 .dat files.

          So has anyone messed around with box86 and tried out games using that? I've got Shovel Knight installed and working but box86 doesn't seem to have gamepad support as far as I can tell. Just wondering if anyone has figured it out? I know I can use xboxdrv but considering if there's an option to load the program with I'm missing.

          Edit:- nevermind, Shovel Knight has native support for xbox360 controllers so I just switched my 8bitdo receiver to Xbox mode. Have to say the game runs very well, no slowdowns and plays perfectly. Definitely would recommend people try it

              @retropieuser555 Apparently the folks over at Pi Labs have been going to town with Box86 on the Pi, getting all kinds of stuff to run.

              I have no clue exactly how to use Box86 (there doesnt seem to be much of anything in the way of documentation), but if this video is any indication it could open up TONS of new games for the Pi 4.

                @SuperFromND Yeah they seem to have gotten tons of stuff working. So far I've only been able to get World of Goo & Shovel Knight working. Lots of other stuff I've tried are hitting or crashing etc. But I donno if there's specific to my setup perhaps.

                Like one of their videos has Freedom Planet working, for me it takes around 2-3mins to load, gets the music playing and that's it.

                @shavecat I'll write up something maybe but it's honestly all I did was follow the installation for box86 on github, reset my pi, put the linux x86 version of shovel knight into ports and run it. It didn't require anything else.

                    @shavecat well for box86 https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86/blob/master/COMPILE.md you just follow the pi instructions on terminal & then reboot. That bit is easy, so now anytime I'm running a x86 program instead of getting an error messaging saying it's an x86 program, the pi attempts to boot it.

                    So for shovel knight, https://www.gog.com/game/shovel_knight buy or aquire the linux version however you want. Then when you try and run the files for it in terminal, it leads you into an installation page & puts the game where you specify in the directory. Then it left me with a start.sh file which I moved into ports and I'm just running from emulationstation and it leads me to the game.

                            @shavecat Yeah BabaIsYou for me loads up if I boot from Pixel and the controller works too. But from emulationstation it gives me a quarter-ish of the window and the rest of the window cut off.

                                    @shavecat Yeah it didn't help me adding tvservice unfortunately. The games I'm trying to get working BabaIsYou & Undertale both seem to require startx.

                                    The game plays as you can hear the music but the video isn't played back. (and I popped in a new topic this morning, we'll see if anyone who was messing with startx before has some options that make it work)

                                    Games wise so far I've got:-

                                    World of Goo (need a mouse unless you use xboxdrv)
                                    Shovel Knight (works great with my xbox controller)
                                    Freedom Planet (same as Shovel Knight)
                                    Undertale (working, although it's centered small in the screen and F4 doesn't turn it into fullscreen like on a desktop, again you'd need xboxdrv to map the controls)

                                    I am sure there is hundreds of programs you could attempt with this box86, apparently it works with wine, but I've never used wine and have no idea how it works.

                                    Edit: They have a compatibility list of sorts of some games they've tried that have and haven't worked. https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86-compatibility-list/issues

                                        @shavecat this is going to sound weird for Freedom Planet. At first it wasn't loading. I tried to boot it when in pixel, it booted up ok. Then I tried again in Retropie and it started working. No idea what I'd done or changed to cause it to work.

                                        Also I put libgcc_s.so.1 and libstdc++.so.6 in the same directory which improved performance. My .sh is identical to what you're doing there
