Asking for help to get games for testing them on ARM and RISC-V Linux. Even if you don't have the budget to help me, you can suggest games in the comments. youtu.be/pv34WKWHQZM

StykAnimate is a free and open-source app to animate anything with stick figures (AI assisted development). You can download it for Windows and Linux on x86. I built from source for ARM Linux. A capable GPU is needed (tested on Qualcomm QCS6490). stykanimate.com youtu.be/LdMwfDbex9w

Someone made a Recalbox image for the Radxa Dragon Q6A. This is not an official release of the Recalbox team. I tested PPSSPP and PCSX-Rearmed. Looks like Vulkan isn't working at the moment and I had to set a large audio buffer for PPSSPP. github.com/rafaelwms/q6... youtu.be/fetkA-i49o8

An open source PS2 BIOS makes it easier to play PS2 games with an emulator, without owning a PS2. Doing a quick test with God of War with ARMSX2 on a Raspberry Pi 5. But I do advise playing it on a better SBC with Rockchip RK3588 or Snapdragon SoC. github.com/TamaribaEmu/... youtu.be/hfiuuH82B6w

Steam on the Raspberry Pi 4. I don't recommended it, as it is very slow. If you have adequate cooling, you can try to overclock the Pi 4. If you have a CM4, you can try to add a GPU. github.com/Scrumpper/St... youtu.be/qMAWDzYx7hE

Pocket LLM for Android can run LLMs locally on the CPU, NPU or GPU. github.com/dineshsoudag... youtube.com/shorts/KXwbT...

DroidDeck let's you play your games from Steam on Android. Version 0.4.0 now makes it possible to connect your GOG, Epic and Amazon accounts. github.com/Droid-Deck/D... youtu.be/1ANw4VmFTEI

Testing the Steam ARM Linux client with Raspberry Pi OS. By default the Raspberry Pi 5 is running with a 16k page size kernel. A developer created an installer script that makes it really easy to install Steam on Raspberry Pi OS. github.com/Scrumpper/St... youtu.be/va7IfWx2XWg

The developer of the game Bemined announced that it is now available for RISC-V. You can also play the game in a browser. forum.rvspace.org/t/bemined-i-... youtu.be/W-9xCO7gKMg

DroidDeck brings the SteamOS experience to Android. I haven't tested the OS features (like installing other apps), but playing games works as expected. Dogwalk (Godot game) is a bit slow, but Tomb Raider is playable. github.com/Droid-Deck/D... youtu.be/xfNL2enXUdc

I didn't know you can also have negative view numbers on YouTube. 😵‍💫

Testing an installation of Steam ARM Linux on a Raspberry Pi 5. Performance isn't even close to the RK3588. Perhaps things can be improved with some more tweaks. github.com/Scrumpper/St... youtu.be/duScmSDyisA

felix86 26.10 is out! Some Denuvo, EA, and Blizzard games now work on RISC-V, like Mortal Kombat 1, Sims 4, and Hearthstone, plus sweet optimizations. Blog post + gameplay video: felix86.com/felix86-26-10/ #riscv

BredOS has transitioned to Beryllium. It's an Arch based distro for ARM, RISC-V and even x86. Rockchip RK3588 boards need EDK2. I did a small test on a Raspberry Pi 4. beryllium.gr youtu.be/N_Lio7ytIOI

Found a different Steam ARM Linux client in the Armbian Forum. It has better controller support, but Mangohud wasn't working for me. But you can use Gallium HUD and Vulkan Overlay. Tomb Raider GOTY on a Rockchip RK3588 (with Mesa 26.2.3)! forum.armbian.com/topic/62259-... youtu.be/Q-s9NpiQ9do

Playing Tomb Raider GOTY with Steam ARM Beta, on a Radxa Dragon Q6A Snapdragon QCS6490 SBC running Fedora 45 Beta. I wasn't expecting around 24fps at 1080p normal quality. Valve has really improved SBC gaming with Proton ARM64. youtu.be/AzTYeEK4OEk

As Microsoft killed Windows Subsystem for Android, I'm testing MUMUPlayer. The Windows on ARM version is in Beta, but it looks promising. You can even use Vulkan. I had some stability issues. Not sure if they are caused by the crappy Windows Vulkan driver. www.mumuplayer.com youtu.be/rpyb3NXvMJE

Testing Fedora 45 Beta on the Radxa Dragon Q6A Snapdragon SBC. Wifi and BT are not working out of the box, but this is usable as a desktop. Had some issues building llama.cpp, but got it working. Playing some games with Steam, ARMSX2 and RPCS3. fedoraproject.org/workstation/... youtu.be/kBZCX_wqXfs

Managed to get Fedora 45 ARM Beta booting on the Radxa Dragon Q6A. I had to add some Linux kernel command line parameters. clk_ignore_unused pd_ignore_unused efi=noruntime fedoraproject.org/wiki/Snapdra... Time to do some more testing for a video.

A quick test of Fedora 45 Beta on the Raspberry Pi 4. I will also try to get Fedora working on more SBCs. You can use the raw image, to install directly on the raw image. fedoraproject.org/workstation/... youtu.be/iQT1yJPbr4o

Arx Libertatis is an open-source engine to play the game Arx Fatalis. I built it on RISC-V. If you run it with OpenGL ES, you might have an issue with the menu text (you can use PortMaster for a fix). arx-libertatis.org portmaster.games/detail.html?... youtu.be/lc5Bdg-t8yw

I visited IBC 2026. Not exactly a trade show for Open Source, but I had a chat with Igalia and Collabora. And lots of eye candy, if you are into video.

My first test with llama-server, so you can use llama.cpp with a WebUI. You can start it with --host 0.0.0.0, to make it available on the network. github.com/ggml-org/lla... youtu.be/f_OmIg32hF4

Fedora 44 now runs on my #SpacemiT K1-based Milk-V Jupiter via the new omni kernels! Wasn't the smoothest of experiences, but https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/RISC-V/Milk-V/Jupiter#Firmware_update was of lots of help.

I tried to get llama-tts (text-to-speech) working on RISC-V, but I got an error. I downloaded llama.cpp 0.4.0 for ARM Linux, and I can generate an audio file with llama-tts and Qwen3 TTS 12Hz 1.7B Base. github.com/ggml-org/lla... huggingface.co/ggml-org/Qwe... youtu.be/kqLf9sSjEdU

Testing ARMSX3 0.9.6 Android PS3 emulation on my Samsung Flip 6. I still haven't found good settings for God of War 3, but Super Stardust HD is playable. github.com/ARMSX2/ARMSX3/ youtu.be/fY-wovHzD2Q

I wanted to test The Dark Mod with idTech4A++ with Waydroid. It crashes on my Radxa Dragon Q6A, so I tried with my Phytium D2000 and AMD Radeon RX550. Looks like you do need a capable GPU. github.com/glKarin/com.... www.moddb.com/mods/the-dar... youtu.be/i1P64wR2EWA

Someone asked me if it possible to run idTech4A++ with Waydroid (Android container for Linux). I have tried building it directly for Linux, but I ran into some issues. But this is an easy way to play several games (Doom3, Quake4 and more) on ARM SBCs. github.com/glKarin/com.... youtu.be/0S37mb-SmIw

Testing the new optimised OpenGL ES 3 renderer for Yamagi Quake 2 on the SpacemiT K3 RISC-V SoC. At 1080p I didn't see it drop below 100 fps. github.com/yquake2/yqua... youtu.be/AJcql8YgeRQ

Playing the id Tech game Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory on Android with idTech4A++, and also Serious Sam. Looks like you need the full game files, as Doom 3 didn't work with the demo game file. github.com/glKarin/com.... youtu.be/s10en0a0k7E

Someone on my Fluxer channel asked if it possible to emulate Super Nintendo (SNES) on RISC-V. You can build it from source and I tested the free game Super Boss Gaiden. github.com/snes9xgit/sn... superbossgaiden.superfamicom.org youtu.be/3udghsaOdek

Universite de Nantes is hiring: Postdoctoral position: High-level Model for designing reliable RISC-V architecture for autonomous vehicle #postdoc #computerscience #computerarchitecture

Someone reported that it is possible to play Doom 3 on RISC-V with D3 Web Assembly (D3WASM). Unfortunately I only have the demo, and I got an error message about a missing animation. It does work on ARM with the demo (Raspberry Pi 4 in this case). github.com/gabrielcuvil... youtu.be/a7b1DUS8das

Arch Linux on Arm64, backed by real hardware work. ⚙️ Collabora has been helping Valve build Holo Core, the Arm64 foundation for SteamOS 3 on Steam Frame. The first preview is now available with binaries, sources, and a development container for early testing: www.theregister.com/os-platforms...

Someone showed me how to get Quake 3 running on the VisionFive 2 RISC-V SBC with OpenGL ES. Runs pretty nice, but I'm really bad at this game. forum.rvspace.org/t/visionfive... youtu.be/NMMeB4OUslM

Can RISC-V run Crysis? Sure it can!

Testing the official Radxa Debian 11 image on the Radxa Cubie A7A Allwinner A733 ARM SBC. I didn't test the NPU, but the VPU (hardware video decoder) is working with local video files. The OpenGL driver is a mess, but Vulkan is mostly working. radxa.com/products/cub... youtu.be/LvOgWy2hH4g

I got the Radxa Cubie A7A SBC with 8GB RAM for just under €100. I expect the performance to be somewhere between a Raspberry Pi 4 and 5. radxa.com/products/cub... youtu.be/IrBiKSVyDNU

Testing ARMSX3 v0.5, PS3 emulator for Android on my Samsung Galaxy Flip 6, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Perhaps I need to change more settings, but I think things will also improve with newer releases. github.com/ARMSX2/ARMSX3/ youtu.be/jxFcCJ5Tn98

The developer of DuckStation does NOT support custom Linux builds. It is possible to build DuckStation on RISC-V. It looks like you do need vectors, and building the dependencies takes a long time. And one small fix in DuckStationDependencies.cmake. github.com/stenzek/duck... youtu.be/yec1HxNT6bs

Building and running SwanStation (DuckStation fork), PS1 emulation, on the SpacemiT K3 RISC-V SoC. You do need to make some small changes to build it. forum.rvspace.org/t/visionfive... youtu.be/bwFC9ImSSos

As I had some graphical glitches with OpenArena on the SpacemiT K3 RISC-V SoC, I found a different engine: OmegA-engine. There is no RISC-V support, but you can fix that. I had to run with Zink (OpenGL through Vulkan), so performance is not the best. github.com/Bishop-333/O... youtu.be/-XxRUKoAH10

I have some issues getting Quake 3 to run on my RISC-V boards. It is possible to get OpenArena working on the SpacemiT K3, but I do see some graphical glitches running with OpenGL ES. I will try to get it working better on RISC-V. github.com/openarena youtu.be/Imee3bbWgWA
