This is more of a Q&A on what are your top 10 games on haiku and what are y’all number one go to? And what are the amazing things you like about these games and what is the average FPS you get?

Uhm, it’s a little early for me, as I just started using Haiku.
Currently, the first are through FUSE (Free Unix Spectrum Emulator):
- Knight Lore
- Atic Atac
- Boulder Dash
Apart from those, native Haiku games would be MightyMike (fantastic port!) and Sudoku (I haven’t tried the others, but more to come)
I expect Endless Sky to join the list and when WebKit2 is ready, a few online games.
For 3D-games, one could consider SketchUp to be a game too; if I can get it to work, the object of the game would to keep it from crashing while designing something . 
Apart from SketchUp, I don’t play any 3D-games.
This is such a wonderful list and what is the average fps you get while playing these?

“Smooth” 
-there’s no FPS counter, however, I’ll try and see what a fullscreen teapot gives me.
The “starfield” demo is also smooth, but at the time, I was running it at 60Hz. It turns out my monitor can handle 75Hz, so I’ll try and see if it’s still smooth. =)
The spectrum games are run with “HQ 3 scaling” (I wish FUSE was built with the HQ 4 scaling, but maybe in a later build, it’ll be included). The HQ rendering “smoothens” the pixels (and it’s very good at it, it even improves the graphics, so that I now can see the shoes / hat on “Serf” much better - well on all the characters from Atic Atac).
MightyMike is also completely smooth and very quick running.
-I attempted to boot Haiku from a USB-stick on a Ryzen 5 5600G today, but it failed during boot (Haiku screen shows up, but the boot process stopped before the desktop). This could be because I had two displays connected; it could be something else; I’ll have to retry a day I have more time.
-But I think there’s hope for it. I’ll report back when I know more.
Update:
Using 32 teapot and making the window “full size” (it’s a square, not filling the entire width of the screen), I get above 90 FPS.
With “Chart”, it’s smooth for both BDirectWindow and DrawBitmap.
I set it to Free Motion, 600FPS, Star Density 100%, Chaos,
CPU-load is 6% for DirectWindow, 42% for DrawBitmap.
This is on a Ryzen 5 9600X with 5600MT/s RAM CL46 (RAM is running only at 4800MT/s).

OK, thank you and may I ask what type of CPU is being used?
AMD Ryzen 5 9600X …
I just played Endless Sky on Linux … Having >1800 Hauler III makes it chop a bit.
You made my life 1000 times easier thank you so much
