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

[mth75]

Chronicle of Innsmouth (Steam version), seems to run fine.

What are the default GPU core clock speeds on the RPI400?

I haven't read ahead very far but will installing mesa w/ Vulkan support make other emulators not work? -note: X11 is used, but it looks like there is a workaround for the issue that caused before.

Can I use the Doom I&II WADs from Doom 3 BFG edition?

[mth75]

@mth75

Alpha Polaris (Steam Version), video runs slow, playing is acceptable.

update: video runs acceptable with the latest box86 0.2.1, mesa (20.3.4) and wine(v-6.1.-devel) installs.

Doom 3 BFG

According to Winehq Appdb it should be possible.

I believe it's 500 (like the Pi4), I overclocked to 775 without any problem.

The libraries and binaries don't overwrite the default retropie ones, so this is no problem.

Ahh thanks, I haven't OCd my rpi4 yet, but I figure I'd start changing the clock to the 400s default. It is the same chip but maybe a newer revision, better parts than the 4?

Try any KotOR with BOX86?

[mth75]

Chessmaster 10th Edition, some problems with context menu's but playable.

[mth75]

Runaway: a Road Adventure ... works.

[mth75]

Sudden Strike 2 ... works.

[mth75]

Runaway 2: Dream of the Turtle works.

[retropieuser555]

Fallout 1 works really well. Miles better than it does on Dosbox.

[shavecat]

Heroes of might and magic 3
runs okay anyways ?
without freeze's

[quicksilver]

@shavecat Im fairly certain I have seen others get heroes 3 up and running. I may test it myself if I have time since heroes 3 is such a good game. I do have the game running through the VCMI engine but the AI controlled opponents are very stupid so the game is not enjoyable

@quicksilver

Try to update your underlying box86, mesa and wine to the latest box86 0.2.1, mesa (20.3.4) and wine(v-6.1.-devel) installs.

@mth75
Thanks just did that ;)
still freezes :(
is it working well at yyours ? :O :O

Also tried to play Jazz Jackrabit 2 but the logo appear and then quit :(

[mth75]

Lamplight City, a 2018 point and click adventure game, works perfectly.

The game I absolutely want to play on my Pi4 ... Thimbleweed Park .... sound only ... no display output. So this is hopeful.

Well I know this is off topic, but you can play it over LineAge 17.1. Yeah yeah....I know it is not Retropie but it is just a suggestion how to play it on your Pi4 :)

Also try the game "The Cave" by the same creator Ron Gilber and Double Fine Productions.
