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.
That happens because you are expecting it to work out of the box – the orange pi boards are meant for tinkerers. You’ve got to get your hands dirty to get it to work/game properly. Which can be as easy as a single bash script, however.
t. I use a bash script to automatically install all the necessary packages, commands, etc.
Respectfully no, I literally had to consider repairs on this board to make it work. I’ve owned it for a while now. I know what’s still rough on it. I’m on fedora mainline, not using armbian hacks.
It’s a problem with jackbox and proton that’s even worse with FEX being stacked on top of it.
…I’m pretty sure you -don’t- need to go that far – just made a quick search about it where the linux version was made available in 2018, and absolutely no one is mentioning the need to do solder repairs.
“Respectfully”, you are doing something wrong.
