Best x86 emulation

k3001993

Hello, I was wondering about the possibility of running old x86 games on my Raspberry but it seems the software suggested (Exogear) is discontinued. What is the best way to emulate a x86 windows machine on the Raspberry?

I want to run specifically Blade: The edge of darkness, a windows game.

Thanks.

Normally, on Linux you can use Wine to run Windows binaries, but on ARM that's not easily done. The other option is to use something like Box86.

@mitu I will try Box86, thanks.
But honestly, do you think it can be done with a decent frame rate? Here's some gameplay:

I'm worried about starting this project to see a lack of GPU performace or anything.

Thanks again.

The game's requirements:

CPU Pentium II 400 MHz.
64 MB of RAM.
3D accelerator with 8 MB of RAM compatible with DirectX 8.0.

I don't know, I don't have any experience with Box86 and I don't have it installed.
