As with most Box86 installs at this point, I scoffed my wine from TwisterOS. I did originally try the Armbian version, but as I pretty much expected, it couldn't run x86 binaries.. I was a little surprised it couldn't even run its own taskmgr.exe but I can't say I was outright shocked. I installed the wine32 version with recommends, then removed wine without removing dependencies so the twister wine would (hopefully) have everything it needs.

2D is already working; tested with MidRadio, plays XG midis better than my Chromebook, which was a pleasant surprise.

So now I'm trying to go up to the next level, Need for Speed 4: High Stakes. It was a favorite in the old days and I was testing on the team that did the XP crack (since I had Win2K in the day.. it worked) and IP Lounge. This app is gold listed in the AppDB but I'm not having any luck in getting it running here. I'm not on that machine here so I'll write back with logs later, but the basic gist is D3D errors of one form or another. Different things I've tried have resulted in slightly different errors, but pretty all of them had to do with a graphics fail. I even tried the software renderer out of desperation and got an error that the video card was not recognized. I've tried everything on the AppDB page, plus the MESA_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5 (which is the one thing that got it to actually try). I've tried every render option built in the game, most hang at a black screen but the ones given in the AppDB page (nglide and dx7) will crash out gracefully. Like said, will post full logs when I get to it (will be kind of busy today) but I wanted to get this in here on the off chance someone knows about this and has a suggestion I haven't tried. I'm hoping (in one hand) it's something as simple as a library that didn't get a 32 bit (armhf) version installed but I'm also preparing for a grimmer reality.

Thank you for your time, more details forthcoming.

Part 2: the details.
Today's adventure had me wondering what in the memory was working against me. I ended up rebooting a few times so I could be assured fresh and accurate errors.

Here are the logs...

Other things that might be notable:
Before using the mesa version override, I got a specific fail point error:
