    Does the RISC-V code run natively when game is run on a RISC-V host?

    (which is gonna be most hosts in a few years)

      Well, hypothetically speaking, as you would need a complete stack down to Vulkan for the game itself on this machine, and we still would need to sandbox the guest machine, but apart from that nothing speaks against a thin wrapper, that passes through native RISC-V instructions to the host machine. So while it doesn't as of now, it may in the future.
