    @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.

      Yeha ...
      maybe a new topic with BOX86
      will help ;)
      Got postal running full screen 640x480
      add this -

      #!/bin/bash
      
          tvservice -e "DMT 4"
      
      cd "dir game "
      box86 "game"
      
          tvservice -p

            @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

                      @shavecat awesome! Never heard of this game. I guess as last resort you can use xboxdrv? I've gone down a scummvm rabbit hole recently and been playing broken sword & beneath a steel sky, so haven't tried many box86 games for a while

                                @retropieuser555 oooh! This is nice! I think I bought Limbo 2-3 times, just because I lile it so much! ;) At least I have it on my PS3 and on Steam...

                                Also (not really related) try Inside, if you liked Limbo. It's different but has the same dense atmosphere!

                                  Awesome, looks like it's on switch and is by the same devs? I'll have to check it out. Never heard of it, I do wonder with game devs sometimes, why name a game "inside"? That's so hard to google, it's like when bands are called things like "health". Makes it way harder to develop your brand image.

                                          Hi,
                                          I have some suggestions, some of which I managed to get to run decently:

                                          • Nuvie (for Ultima 6)

                                          • Exult (for Ultima 7 and Serpent Isle)

                                          • Pentagram (for Ultima 8)

                                          • DevilutionX (for Diablo) and

                                          • Schockolate (for System Shock)

                                          Exult and Shockolate are a little on the slow side and needed some extra attention in the source code... not by me, mind you ;)
                                          I'd really like to get nblood (for Blood) to run, but it doesn't compile with USE_OPENGL=0.

                                          Anyways! Keep up the excellent work!

                                          @ecto I know this post is old but is there any chance you could share how you got Pentagram and Schockolate to run?
