you need an x86 compatibility layer first though (something like https://eltechs.com/product/exagear-desktop/ should work, expect a 20-30% loss compared to x86 on this plus x86 is simply faster per mhz (more instructions per clock))
this basically means you may expect the arm's cpu speed divided by 2 (including wine's loss) at it's fastest for an x86 emulation (1200mhz per core/2 = 600mhz per core max speed at x86 emulation)
this does mean that you're getting 4 cores on 600mhz basically means if a game uses 1 core, you can almost achieve the xbox's cpu power (which was 'only' 700mhz back in the 2000 era)
this basically means you can play most windows ports of xbox games on the pinebook, same goes for playstation 2 games made for pc as well.
for older consoles and arcade games you can use mame for sure.
i hope this helps, ramon
