A new competitor, the ThunderBERRY5, is set to shake things up by using a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, the same brand found in many popular brand phones, tablets, and Arm-powered laptops.

However, many of these clones use processors from lower-end brands like RockChip and Mediatek. I'm almost certain folks have done that already with varying success.The single-board computer market is flooded with Raspberry Pi clones that boast of being faster, cheaper, or with more ports. Or, maybe, WINE and the game running on top of an x86 emulation layer. I have no experience of WoR so please don't ask me for help.Ī second hand PC from the Windows 8 era is almost certainly a better bet than trying to run this stuff on a Pi. If you're happy with the unclear legal situation you could try running windows 10 or 11 via the WoR project (ask google) but even then there is no guarantee that steam and that game will run or that the game will be playable. To get that running on Pi (and it will probably be very slow) you need to get steam running which means you need to get Windows running, which means you need an x86 emulator running. That means you need Windows running which means either an x86 CPU (not the ARM CPU found in Pi) or emulation of an x86 CPU. The key take away from those is "Windows 8".
