Box86 - Linux Userspace x86 Emulator

[matzesu]

When i would want to use BOX86 to run RIGS OF RODS, a Free Driving Simulator via Wine on the Pyra, whould this work, and do i do this?
Or wouldnt this work because Rigs of Rods allready put my Notebook to its limit which was a 2011 Thinkpad whit 2 x 1,6 ghz ?

Isn't Rigs of Rog 64bits only? And also needing OpenGL 3.3?

 

[matzesu]

I dont know, but if so, seems like whe need a Port .. ..
Ok, so this ditnt work out..

 

[ingoreis]

Maybe an older Version of Rigs of Tod will do that Job too.
Maybe older Versions are Not OpenGL3.3 only.

I only played it on Windows Mashines, my Notebook and the GPD WIN, there where 2 Versions back then, i think i have to read me in the needed systems of them..

As im not that good in Linux Cooding, i dont want to test this this weekend ^^

 

[ptitSeb]

Well, you can try the Windows version with box86+wine, but I'm pretty sure gl4es will shoke on this one.

Is this real?


I didn't hear from @ptitSeb and seems an April fools (although wasn't uploaded on April 1). The author already made a lot of videos of box86, I don't see a reason to make a fake video.

Reportedly, it only works on ARM64 hosts, so it's not for the Pyra yet regardless.

Yes, it's real. I'm still working on it, and the repo is not public yet.
And yeah, arm64 only, so not for the Pyra (until a new CPU board surface).

On Box64 subject

Hmm.. nice https://rockpi.org/rockpi4
That's quite the FPS you got there for "just" a 1.5Ghz device, ptitSeb
I like the video. It starts all flashy to real you in, then it continues with all tech data which keep you watching. Nice.
edit: why why the mouse midscreen...

 

[ptitSeb]

Yes those RK3399 pack some nice horsepower. Only issue is it's heat up too much for a Pyra upgrade for example (and the SoC is too big IIRC). Maybe the new gen...

 

[ptitSeb]

I have written a small article about box86 and box64 performances: https://box86.org/index.php/2021/06/27/game-performances/

 

[FBnil]

Well writen; short full with data. I like it. It's not indexed yet in DDG. I was not able to hit the page from the search engine

 

[spud42]

just tried Twister OS on my rasp pi 4. the OS comes with Box86 pre-installed. might get around to testing something on the weekend.

 

[ptitSeb]

Not for the pyra, but box64 repo is now public: https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64

Not for the current CPU board, you mean.

 

[ptitSeb]

Not for the current CPU board, you mean.

Yes, that.
But I hope there will be a slight name change when the pyra get another cpu board, or communication will be damn hard..
