Games Compatible With Armbian on Pinebook Pro

[Katsujinken]

I finally successfully got Armbian installed on my Pinebook Pro's eMMC. That should be giving it its best possible performance. I thought you may all be interested in compiling a list of games that work at least reasonably well on it given its restrictions of being ARM64 architecture, 1.8GHz CPU & 4GBs RAM. So to start here is a list of the ones I currently have on mine. I may try more later but for now I'm limited by the stock 64GB eMMC that the PCP came with...

 

0AD - 3D RTS

Cave Story - Pixel Art Metroidvania

Dr Robotnik's Ring Racers - Kart Racer

Dune Legacy - RTS

Endless Sky - Space Sandbox

Flare - Fantasy RPG

Freeciv - Strategy

Freecol - Strategy

GZDoom - Doom Engine for Mods & Total Conversions

Hedgewars - Worms "Homage"

Neverball - Monkeyball "Homage"

Neverputt - Miniputt Golf Game

Open Fodder - FOSS Engine for "Cannon Fodder"

OpenRA - FOSS RTS Engine for "Tiberian Dawn", "Red Alert" & "Dune 2000"

Open TTD - Transit Management Sim

OpenTyrian - FOSS Engine for Top-Down Shmup "Tyrian"

Perfect Dark - PC Port of N64 Game with Keyboard/Mouse Support

Pico-8 - Indie Pixel Art Gaming & Development Platform

Pingus - Lemmings "Homage"

ScummVM - FOSS Engine for Classic Point & Click Games

Sonic Robo Blast 2 - 3D Platformer

The Ur-Quan Masters - FOSS Port of Space Sandbox "Star Control II"

Xonotic - Arena Shooter FPS

 

There are other games I have not yet personally tried like OpenHV, SuperTuxKart, other emulators etc but if anyone can confirm they work reasonably well on the Pinebook Pro then please let the rest of us know. All ScummVM games I've tried from King's Quest I to Grim Fandango work perfectly. However GZDoom will struggle with especially demanding modern Doom mods like Trenchfoot, Auger Zenith, Inquisitor III, Godless Nite etc. but most like Aliens: Eradication, Ashes 2063/Afterglow, Brutal Doom, Castlevania: Simon's Destiny, Irontusk's Diablo 3D, Revenge of the Triad etc run just fine.

PSP emulation with PPSSPP should work for a lot of games.

It's a pity we never got a fully working Vulkan driver. God of War is probably too much.

At least it was when I tested it many years ago.

Ooh interesting! The PBP in your video is using Manjaro though, can PPSSPP compile on Armbian? Perfect Dark aside, I haven't had any luck compiling other supposedly ARM64 compatible software like 2Ship2Harkinian etc through Armbian. If we can figure it out then maybe GoW will also be more playable on PBP through its own eventual native PC Port.
