Comment on The "SteamBoy" project is now fully working, modder demonstrates Expedition 33 running on it

Whine? Maybe even Fex?

You can play windows x86 games on the Arm chip that is in the steam Frame. So there are conversions, but generally you lose like 10-15% performance of it runs.

This is not ARM, this is x86 processor ripped out of the Steam Deck. I know we can emulate x86 even on smartphones. So small form factor is possible this way. But having a full fledged x86 PC processor in a small form factor almost the size of original Game Boy is pretty impressive. Given what it is capable of playing.

  Ow cool, didn’t realised they used an actual x86 chip. Quite impressive for an diy form factor

If been playing around with theDroid-Deck on my android phone this week and it’s surprisingly good.

I don’t have the space to install really large games, so I’ve tested recent indie/AA games and older games like Crysis Remastered and they all just worked. Even the desktop experience and flatpak installer was quick and painless.

I already have a Steam Deck and don’t really need to use this, but it’s pretty awesome easily running games or Linux apps on the phone. Obviously YMMV, but I’ve been genuinely surprised by it so far
