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

[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.

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...

@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 .

@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

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

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.
