Building and playing Duke Nukem 3D on RISC-V with EDuke32.
The iGPU of the SpacemiT K3 doesn't have good OpenGL support, so I run it with Zink (Vulkan). I tried the Voxel mod, but that has some small issues.

Got a passive cooling case for the Radxa Dragon Q6A (can also be used for the Radxa Rock 5A and Radxa Cubie A7A). It does get quite warm when you push the chip to 100%. Not sure if it is able to keep up if you do that for a longer period of time. But it looks like it's fine for "average" use.

Testing ARMSX2 (PS2 emulator) on Windows on ARM, Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2. Final Fantasy X shows some pretty good performance. With God of War I had some green glitches in the screen. You can drop back to Direct3D 11 to get rid of the green glitches, but performance will suffer.

Testing an unofficial Linux client for GOG, Minigalaxy. It's not as sophisticated as Lutris, as you need to install Wine (and perhaps some additional libraries) yourself.
I hope GOG will release an official Linux client soon.

Testing ARMSX2, Playstation 2 emulator, on a Raspberry Pi 5. I wasn't able to get Vulkan working properly, but you can get it working by spoofing OpenGL 3.3 support. Run it with a recent version of Mesa and run with a 4K (not 16K) page size kernel.

ARMSX2, a Playstation 2 emulator, was released with a version for ARM Linux.
Looks pretty good to me. Some small performance issues with in-game videos, but gameplay looks solid to me.

SpacemiT released Bianbu 2.3.5 for the SpacemiT K1 (RVA22). It's based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, as Ubuntu 26.04 LTS has set the baseline on RVA23.
I was able to build llama.cpp with Integrated Matrix Extensions (IME), and I played Yamagi Quake 2 and Half-Life (Xash3D).
