Making good progress in polishing my musi mi game launcher for mobile devices. Thanks to FEX-Emu, I'm now also able to play Hollow Knight on my #FP5 😊.

@vivi what is this peripheral?
@ebrum it's a Backbone One Controller
@vivi this looks awesome! How are you doing the FEX stuff for steam? maybe there's overlap with https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/Drakulix/steam-fex-runtime ?

@cas thank you. I have used this guide https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Steam_in_FEX (the docker version). I have adjusted the run script to make it possible to define the executable to run from outside. This way it runs the gog version of Hollow Knight.

Now I'm kinda curious, what's the upper limit of game complexity that's reasonably playable on a modern-ish ARM-based smartphone via x86/AMD64 emulation?

I'm seriously impressed that it includes a Meteoidvania published within the last decade.

@DaveMWilburn that's a good question. I will try some games in the next time. Performance of Hollow Knight on the FP5 is great.
