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

[mth75]

Mountains of Madness (Chronicles of Innsmouth 2)...brand new point and click adv. game ... works!

[dodonpachi]

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

[VictimRLSH]

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.

[Troopaking]

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 .

[dodonpachi]

@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...

[Troopaking]

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

[Troopaking]

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 .

[Troopaking]

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.

[ExarKunIv]

@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?

[Troopaking]

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

[ExarKunIv]

@troopaking i get it.
just wanted to ask. since ill be taking the dive into box86/wine soon as i get all of my ports scripts down and working,

[Troopaking]

@exarkuniv
Yeah a buddy of mine now has 38 mugens loaded on his pi 4 .
Will be trying more games as time goes on .

[FranceMSR]

@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?

[Troopaking]

@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

[FranceMSR]

@troopaking Nothing is changed, sometimes it crashes with a segmentation fault on startup. The videos are always not visible.

A segmentation fault is a problem with the pointed memory, maybe a bug on Dynarec?!

[Troopaking]

Following run good

Call Of Duty 2 Demo
Minesweeper
Chess

[gamer007]

Terrordrome working. I have got the linux version working with wine and another user also got the windows version working with wine. PC game

[gamer007]

Castlevania Fighter working. Best with 320x240. Can run full screen. Higher resolution will slow down the game. This game is also only recommended to run in 4:3 ratios. Mugen game

[gamer007]

Capcom Fighting Evolution is working. Mugen game.

[gamer007]

Battle Nightmares in Hell. Working with 320x240. Can go full screen. Higher resolutions slow game down considerably. Mugen game.
