Pretty sure most of you will drop a “Well, duh – that’s pretty much a NES game”… which is true, yes. A NES game with plenty of layers (FEX > x86_64 to arm > wine > Directx 12, if my memory serves me right) and the fact that vulkan support is “meh”, but still very limited (What you are seeing is pure opengl) makes this a very significant accomplishment. This is not the only game that can run on it – even Metro 2033 (linux native version) can run quite in an acceptable framerate (10’ish FPS, worst case scenario), and the fact that this is run on a device that barely sips the 10 watts mark… makes this feel very “I’m in the future”-kind of thing.
Oh, and the ingame res is odd like that due to the wacky panfrost support (its gpu “drivers”) but its 100% fine when I remove all these terminal windows.
Doesn’t this have a native Linux build? Why are you running the Windows version aside from ‘because I can?’
I can’t speak for them, but in my experience with GOG games launched via Heroic launcher, the windows version of the games tracks my progress and achievements with my GOG account but the Linux versions never do. So that’s why I personally choose Windows versions of at least GOG games.
It does. I’ve bought the Windows version regardless so I can test the game on different machines.
-EDIT- …and just came to mind that some Linux games does not run at all on the opi 5 due to poor vulkan support – which might be the case of this game as well.
t. Bought the TMNT linux native brawler game (forgot its name now – TMNT something something shredder) and the game refused to run. Then, bought the windows version right after and the game ran smoothly.
