Unity 2D Game for Raspberry 5

[KonstantinosLeriou01]

Hey i am wondering if its possible using box64 to run a custom game that i am making which is 2D, using box64 on my raspberry 5. Alternative is web gl which is fine for 2d games, but i want to use all available power and not have limits from chromium. What should i check or keep in mind to make it work for the raspberry after i export the game from unity?

It should work yes. You might need to export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.2 as the opengl driver expose only 3.1 iirc, and Core profile needs 3.2, but that should make the trick.

So everything seems to run smoothly, i get around 68 fps which is amazing, i was aiming 30 which is fantastic. The only problem i see, which maybe is caused by the box64 is a small input delay.

Box64 act as a thin translation layer here. With 60fps and more, I doubt box64 would introduce any input delay. It must come from somewhere else.

But maybe input and refresh are on different threads and the input threads is being starved for some reason? like to maintains the 60fpss framerate?

I need to check it actually if it has do to with the threads. Maybe it is the monitor at the end. I need to dig it more

So its actually the monitor and not the game itself!!

Oh, wow, the monitor. Ok, nice find (always tricky to change monitor for a simple test).
