Disclosure: SpacemiT has reviewed the video and promised me a free SpacemiT K3 board.

I have remote access to a SpacemiT K3 board. SpacemiT posted how to test Qwen3 30B Q4 on the SapcemiT K3, running Bianbu.
Performance is pretty good for an SBC.

GameNative is an app to play your Steam games on Android.
In an earlier test I had issues with the on-screen controller with GameNative. I tested version 0.7.2 and now there is the option to enable Steam input.

Neverball is a game where you move a ball through a labyrinth and collect coins. I had an issue to get it started on my SpacemiT K1 RISC-V system, but you can start it with Zink (OpenGL through Vulkan).

I have remote access to a SpacemiT K3 RISC-V system. The web interface has a working remote desktop. So I had a look if Vulkan is working.
Judging from the low CPU load mangohud reports, vkcube is running on the PowerVR BXM-4-64.

Found another RTS game in the Debian repository that works on RISC-V. Seven Kingdoms Ancient Adversaries had an update in 2025, so it looks like it is still being maintained.

I don't think Globulation 2 is still being developed, but you can still install it from the Debian repository. It also works on RISC-V, but I have an issue with the Settings file. As long as you don't change settings, it plays without a problem.

The Ubuntu team has updated the Steam snap package for ARM. It now includes the msm driver for Snapdragon chips. I wasn't able to enable thunking for OpenGL, but I can enable it for drm and Vulkan.

Colobot is an older game, but it is still being maintained by volunteers. You can program bots to help you with your missions in space.
It is available from the Debian repository (including for ARM and RISC-V), or from the website.

SpacemiT announced the new K3 RISC-V chip. It's RVA23 compliant and has 8 performance cores (X100) and 8 AI cores (A100). We still have to wait a couple of months for the official release, but some people have remote access to some test boards.
