Quoting: felix86 is a new open source Linux emulator to run x86-64 Linux programs on RISC-V processors | GamingOnLinux —
RISC-V fans will be interested in this one. felix86 has been announced as a new project with a first release available that enables you to run x86-64 Linux programs on RISC-V processors on Linux.
Their aim with the project is to get many games working with good performance, and some do already fully work but there's still lots of work to do. Some of the games that already work with it include Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment, Baba Is You, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Don't Starve, World of Goo, Celeste, Balatro, VVVVVV and SuperTuxKart.

Felix86 is an x86-64 emulator for RISC-V hardware
Some programs and most games are designed for x86 hardware, and we’ve already seen projects like box86 x86 emulator for 32-bit Arm targets and Box64 x86-64 emulator for 64-bit Arm hardware to run games on Arm hardware. The Felix86 x86-64 emulator is similar to Box64, except it targets specifically RISC-V hardware. The project is very new, but it can already run some GNU/Linux games like World of Goo 2, SuperTuxKart, and Quake OpenArena, while the Wine emulator can currently handle simple backdoored Windows games like Solitaire. You’ll find the full compatibility list on the project’s website.
