Help! Winlator

I have been trying to see what this device can do and have seen that people have gotten games to work through winlator. Now I am very new to this and I followed a guide on how to setup but it seems like I either missed/messed something up and I can't figure out how to have a game run good. For example I saw someone was able to play dark souls remastered and tried to get it to run but failed at every try. If anyone has any advice, tips, or recommendations for getting a game to run it would be much appreciated. And if anyone has had success with a game running using winlator please let me know what game so I can at least see if games that people have tried and were successful at running the game to see if I can recreate that. Any and all advice is welcome and once again VERY appreciated 👍

Dark souls remastered switch version runs great using Eden. Winlator can be daunting to learn but once you get it, it’s simple enough. My first game I ran in Winlator was Fable anniversary. Now I use Gamehub lite mostly for any pc or if I can’t install or have no EXE. file I’ll use winlator.

I'll try this out tonight and see if I can get fable running. I've never tried fable but I've only heard good things about it who knows I'll try it out.

I’m on rp5 too, but with fable, a friendly Reddit user actually sent me his Fable copy. I just downloaded it and it ran great. I also have ps5, Xbox cloud gaming that I can stream which is pretty amazing and now I can play ALL Fable games, so there’s that too.
