Since these games are very very finnicky when it comes to running on box86, they need quite a few additional env variables to fix, but with them, these games perform and run just fine. - STRONGMEM is crucial since otherwise the game will crash right after it launches, unless you force only one thread for it. - FASTNAN fixes broken audio, otherwise the game has half broken audio. - X87DOUBLE is only specific to Mass Effect, because otherwise the game crashes when it starts loading up data. - FORWARD wouldn't be needed if you had box86 compiled before december. I guess it's some sorta regression that gotten introduced with dynarec optimizations. (I bisected the exact commit which break these games. Posted on Termux Discord) Otherwise, with these exact flags the games are completely playable, albeit a bit stuttery.

There is also Mass Effect 3, but I'll need to test it again to double check which env variables are required for it to run properly.
I also keep forgetting to add them whenever I setup wine environment over and over again.
And more people needs to contribute to this file. It'll help deal with a lot of headaches of getting games to run, especially to those with little to no experience.
