Using wine is a deep rabbit hole for anyone not familiar with the software, and an even deeper rabbit hole when combined with box86 or box64. This guide attempts to serve as a basic introduction to using the built-in wine and box packages included with Rocknix on a Retroid Pocket 5. While the Retroid Pocket Mini is a similar setup chain, it is weaker hardware than the Retroid Pocket 5 and thus the examples provided here may not function as well.
The first thing anyone should understand is the vernacular used throughout this guide. Two tools are used to make wine ports possible on ARM64:
-
Box86 and Box64 by ptitSeb are Linux x86 and x86_64 emulators targeting AARCH64/ARM64 architecture.
-
Wine is a software that allows Windows programs to run on Linux systems. Prebuilt wine binaries can be downloaded from the [wine-builds](https://github.com
