I tried using Pluvia but can't. Pluvia keeps crashing for some reason.

And I tried using Winlator, but can't get it to work for some reason (I can't find the backup file where you're supposed to deposit the setup.exe file to play games on Winlator).

How do you get Winlator and Pluvia to work?

And how do I play Disco Elysium: The Final Cut and Devil May Cry 1 to 4 on RetroArch?

The thing is, my tablet is not "low spec," it's even kinda designed for gaming.

But yeah, streaming might be for the best.

Well, it comes down to a difference in processor architecture. There is a big difference between ARM and x86/64 processors. ARM is mostly used in mobile devices like phones/tablets and x86/64 is typically laptops/desktops. If a game (or program) is going to be released on a certain platform, then it needs to be specifically created using that platform's architecture. That's why your laptop doesn't run Android/iOS apps and why Windows/Mac programs and games don't work for Android/iOS. A developer has to make their game for that specific computing architecture. Think of it like trying to insert a bluray into a dvd player, sure they are both movie formats, but the format themselves are targeted for a specific device (in this case dvd players vs bluray players).
