The latest version of Box64, a popular x86_64 emulator for Linux running on architectures like ARM/AArch64 and RISC-V, introduces significant performance improvements, making possible gaming on RISC-V-based platforms such as the Vision Five 2 board, reports Phoronix.
This facilitates faster operations of x86_64 Linux software on RISC-V 64-bit system and makes simplistic games, such as Stardew Valley, playable on Vision Five 2-based devices.
Additionally, the new version introduces several fixes for Steam, enhanced multi-threading capabilities, and broader improvements for emulation across various CPU architectures.
While titles like Stardew Valley can hardly attract avid gamers, the Vision Five 2 is not exactly designed to run games (even though it has an OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.2-capable integrated GPU), so running a game is already a kind of a breakthrough for this product.
The motherboard is aimed at software developers and is based in the quad-core StarFive JH7110 SoC with SiFive U74 RV64GC cores running at 1.50 GHz and Imagination's BXE-4-32 GPU.
The Box64 version 0.2.4 has refined its compatibility with several modifications, which includes better handling of ELF files, added wrapped libraries and functions, expanded opcode functionalities, and preliminary WoW64 support for 32-bit operations in Wine.

Yes! I love that it hides the summary now until you click to expand. That way it doesn't needlessly take up space unless you want it to.
Doesn't work for me
Hmmm it's using a spoiler tag to hide the summary until you click. Spoiler tags work for me on desktop, but they don't seem to work in Lemmy apps like Connect or Liftoff. It does work in Jerboa, however.
Wow, I didn't even realize there any consumer-grade (or dev-grade I guess) RISC-V boards available. Really cool news!

Not too far off!

Yeah, seems to be an issue with Liftoff
