The "which games works" with Box86/Wine topic on the RetroPie RPI4/400
-
Blitzkrieg 1 and Rolling Thunder/Burning Horizon works with videos (very nice videos even). Playing however will lead to throttling on the Pi4. Screenresolution 102476832 gives an acceptable performance. Map screen shows some distortion.
-
The game I absolutely want to play on my Pi4 ... Thimbleweed Park .... sound only ... no display output. So this is hopeful.
-
Space Cadet, no music, other wise works fine, maybe some crackling sound, see fix in @George 's install topic.
-
@mth75 very nice. i think i might have to give this a try very soon. just been lazy lately. lol
-
Unreal Tournament, software rendering works. Still experimenting with other drivers.

Heroes of might and magic 3
But always freeze in a driftnet place so not really playable

Did you cut your Nespi case for a huge cooler :-) ... do you have detail photo's of the Nespi? Looks cool !
-
@mth75
Shame
And yes i did Ahahah :) , its just a nespi case 3 but i switch to pi 4 so i did the hole for that stays really cool ;) -
@mth75 I believe this game (full tilt pinball) is also functional through dosbox/windows 3.1.

I never knew Wine could make x86 games work on ARM, I knew it was built for making Windows games work on Linux but that's the limits of my knowledge on it. I could see this software being very useful, because without this Windows software would have to be recompiled to work on ARM.

It's Box86 which makes this possible. Wine lays on top.

@mth75 Looks useful, this is exactly what the Pi systems need imo.
Just the Pi hardware using ARM tech artificially limits what can be done with them, which isn't any fault of the Pi foundation, but unfortunately it does affect compatibility of software severely.I would've loved to use Kega Fusion and Winamp on my Pi4, but them being limited to x86 means getting them to work is more complicated. Is Kega Fusion excessive? perhaps, RetroPie's Genesis emulation seems decent enough, but I've always had very good accuracy with Kega that it's hard to try out anything new.

Simcity 3000
The Simcity 3000 GOG version works perfectly.
-
MDK (1) runs fine with the Mdk.exe of the GOG version.
-
Chronicle of Innsmouth (Steam version), seems to run fine.
-
What are the default GPU core clock speeds on the RPI400?
I haven't read ahead very far but will installing mesa w/ Vulkan support make other emulators not work? -note: X11 is used, but it looks like there is a workaround for the issue that caused before.
-
Can I use the Doom I&II WADs from Doom 3 BFG edition?
-
Alpha Polaris (Steam Version), video runs slow, playing is acceptable.
update: video runs acceptable with the latest box86 0.2.1, mesa (20.3.4) and wine(v-6.1.-devel) installs.

Doom 3 BFG
According to Winehq Appdb it should be possible.

I believe it's 500 (like the Pi4), I overclocked to 775 without any problem.

The libraries and binaries don't overwrite the default retropie ones, so this is no problem.
