Many Steam games run on Raspberry Pi 4 with WoR

Is someone already curating these or should I start a group?

Many? Yes.
Remotely demanding? No.

Nothing against the Pi4, it's a good SoC, but it's not exactly a high performance device.

Maybe Stardew Valley and Fallout Shelter. Or old school looking Indie games that aren't demanding at all, sure. Anything that needs 2-4 Cores like even an old 3rd or 4th Gen Intel i5 has... then no

When WoR gets more GPU support more will be playable, but you're right on both counts. More of a novelty, but I've been able to play many older games.

I just want to make sure if I start curating a game list that I'm not duplicating something already done.

Likely there won't be anything official since Windows isn't officially licensed for use with the Raspberry Pi, only Qualcomm based devices.

Looks like I'll have to start a group for this if nobody is curating.

Even if there was official support, that can't make the cpu/gpu magically do a whole lot better when it's raw power is lacking.

Pii was just never meant for such things. Better grabbing a very cheap B450 or B550 mATX or ITX board with proper Ryzen 5xxx series support and sticking a Ryzen 5500G on it with 16GB RAM, a cheap SSD and clean install of Win10 64bit 22H2

I have a nice gaming laptop, that's not the point. I'm sure people buying Steam Decks also have other hardware too.

It's like telling a Tour De France winner about the virtues of riding a motorcycle. They ride bicycles because they love the sport and want to push them to their limits.

Which is exactly why it´s fun to make it run things.

Well SOMEBODY gets it...

Have you also tried Box86/Box64 under Linux? It will likely perform a bit better than Windows on ARM.

Yeah, that's better for many things. I also found Flashpoint Infinity to run great under WoR, giving access to over 59K web games. Many of these run much better than their Steam counterparts. The Epic Battle Fantasy series and Bloons TD series are good examples. These run much better under Flashpoint.
