Pretty sure most of you will drop a "Well, duh -- that's pretty much a NES game"... which is true, yes. A NES game with plenty of layers (FEX > x86_64 to arm > wine > Directx 12, if my memory serves me right) and the fact that vulkan support is "meh", but still very limited (What you are seeing is pure opengl) makes this a very significant accomplishment. This is not the only game that can run on it -- even Metro 2033 (linux native version) can run quite in an acceptable framerate (10'ish FPS, worst case scenario), and the fact that this is run on a device that barely sips the 10 watts mark... makes this feel very "I'm in the future"-kind of thing.

Oh, and the ingame res is odd like that due to the wacky panfrost support (its gpu "drivers") but its 100% fine when I remove all these terminal windows.

Hah, neat! Which Linux is that? I got a OrangePi 5 8GB and most ready images like BredOS didn't play nice with emulators, so I had to contend with orange's own android port

Also, uh, don't look now, but I think the feds are onto you

    That's armbian "bleeding edge", minimal install with sway. Thankfully nowadays it "just werks" and does not require further/weird tweaks like masking the systemd-logind service, and so on, so forth.

    Also... oh snaps
