        No, support for running Windows games is not included in RetroPie. There might be a way to run it through Wine, but that's not part of RetroPie's configuration.

            I was having success running some Windows stuff with Wine and Exagear on the 3B, but Exagear had the rug pulled out from under it when the devs went bust and we never got a Pi 4 version. QEMU is completely borked on the 4 as well, so there is currently no way to get Windows apps to run.

            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.
