Someone showed me how to get Quake 3 running on the VisionFive 2 RISC-V SBC with OpenGL ES.
Runs pretty nice, but I'm really bad at this game.

StarFive VisionFive 2 Lite is a cheap(er) RISC-V single-board computer (crowdfunding)
The VisionFive 2 Lite is a credit card-sized single-board computer (SBC) that looks a lot like a Raspberry Pi. But it's actually a smaller, cheaper, and less powerful version of the VisionFive 2 RISC-V SBC that launched a few years ago. The new model has a slower version of the same processor and loses a few ports and connectors, but picks up optional support for onboard WiFi and Bluetooth.

I hope you don't have the VisionFive 2 v1.2a RISC-V SBC, as the manual upgrade process takes a long time. The new 202510 Debian should work directly on the v1.3b board and the VisionFive 2 Lite.

Batocera 43 is a great release for the VisionFive 2 RISC-V SBC.
God of War with PPSSPP is a bit too demanding, but Monster Hunter Freedom plays at 30fps at 2x resolution. And it is also possible to play Half-Life.
