Steam and AAA games now run on RISC-V thanks to emulator breakthrough | felix86 emulator makes gaming possible on open hardware architecture
The development is not the result of a direct port of Steam to RISC-V, but rather a testament to the growing sophistication of felix86, a userspace emulator...
