        i played commandos 1 last night for few hours and not crush .

        Every game responds differently. Sometimes you can play for hours, sometimes it crashes.

          The Famous Five: Treasure Island, except the known intro video bug, works fine.

                    I never figured out how to get this going, but has anyone tested or willing to test the freeware version of Vanguard Princess?

                      Don't forget that Windows on Raspberry can run a great many games, but is a horror show to create a working image. It took me an entire weekend.

                      System Config: Retropie 4.4 with full desktop, RPi 3B, 256gb SD, 5v 2.1A 5,200 mAH USB battery. EasyMSX controller mounted with Pimoroni Hyperpixel 4 (non touch). Also running 4.6 on a 4gb Pi 4 serving as my primary desktop computer now.

                        Ahoy .
                        Mugen 1.0 and some mugen 1.1 run really good .
                        Second picture is list of current mugens i have run good.
                        Using 640x320 resolution, and fullscreen. Some run fine with higher res but most don't.

                        @dodonpachi go here https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/28528/box86-and-wine-on-rpi4/291

                        I wrote a "how to" about 10 comments up from bottom .

                          @troopaking I've followed your tutorial verbatim and successfully installed Wine and Box86!

                          However, I was unable to get Vanguard Princess to work. It loads to black and then returns to Emulationstation. EDIT: I've tested it on my PC, and it runs fine. Am I missing a step with the .conf file? I copied the code exactly as you wrote it, with the obvious exception of adding my folder name and file name. EDIT 2: .sh method didn't work either. I'm starting to think I'm just out of luck...

                            @dodonpachi some games won't run . Test something easier first . Also please to go to linked forum to discuss.

                              Balders Gate(only .sh), Unreal spooky castle and skifree run great .
                              Aslo if anyone wants to map keyboard and mouse to joystick refer to discussion post . We have been working on it and are very successful. All my games played with a ps3 style controller .

                                Half Lie 1 runs good except for first menu lol.

                                Worms Forts Demo runs really good .

                                GoldenAxe Myth runs good and is a cool indie freeware game .

                                Wolfenstien Enemy Territory is another good indie game .

                                Will attach pictures of all soon.

                                  @troopaking question
                                  is there any benefit to running the games through box86/wine instead of using the ports that are working good on the pi for half-life and Wolfenstien Enemy Territory.

                                  or are you just seeing what will work and what wont?

                                    @exarkuniv i don't really see an advantage unless the ports are "dumbed down" .
                                    I'm just testing to see what works

                                          @mth75 I tried Age of Empires II on Raspberry Pi 4 and I have 2 problems.

                                          The first is that the game not always start, I have to try to launch the game multiple times (from Wine-created shorcut or from "winetricks explorer").

                                          The second is that the first 3 videos when game starts are not visible.

                                          Box86 with Dynarec v0.2.3
                                          Wine stable 6.0.1

                                          Any idea?

                                            @francemsr using .conf or .sh . Cause .sh works with baldurs gate visual issues but not .conf .
                                            Also please take this to the thread we have for this. Box86 retropie forum
