The "which games works" with Box86/Wine topic on the RetroPie RPI4/400

[A Former User]

@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.

[mth75]

MDK (1) runs fine with the Mdk.exe of the GOG version.

[mth75]

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?

[mth75]

@mth75

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.

@mth75
Ahh thanks, I haven't OCd my rpi4 yet, but I figure I'd start changing the clock to the 400s default. It is the same chip but maybe a newer revision, better parts than the 4?

Try any KotOR with BOX86?

[mth75]

Chessmaster 10th Edition, some problems with context menu's but playable.

[mth75]

Runaway: a Road Adventure ... works.

[mth75]

Sudden Strike 2 ... works.

[mth75]

Runaway 2: Dream of the Turtle works.

[retropieuser555]

Fallout 1 works really well. Miles better than it does on Dosbox.

[shavecat]

Heroes of might and magic 3
runs okay anyways ?
without freeze's

[quicksilver]

@shavecat Im fairly certain I have seen others get heroes 3 up and running. I may test it myself if I have time since heroes 3 is such a good game. I do have the game running through the VCMI engine but the AI controlled opponents are very stupid so the game is not enjoyable

@quicksilver

Try to update your underlying box86, mesa and wine to the latest box86 0.2.1, mesa (20.3.4) and wine(v-6.1.-devel) installs.

@mth75
