Box64+Box86 Steam Unsupported Architecture aarch64

Didn't find a similar open issue, so I figured I would open one.
When trying to launch a lot of linux games on Steam I get the error "unsupported architecture aarch64" in terminal.
There are others that work fine, but I wonder why these do not play nice with Box64.
For example I tried "The Whispered World Special Edition".
Raspberry Pi 5
OS: Ubuntu 23.10
Built and installed Box64, Box86, and Steam.sh from github.
You probably need to setup BOX64_BASH env. var. This needs to point to a x86-64 version of bash. There is one copy inside the tests folder of box64 repo. This allows running bash script in box64 environnement and should fix those issues.
I added "export BOX64_BASH=~/box64/tests/bash" at the bottom my /etc/bash.bashrc and restarted Ubuntu.
Then I reran the game and it worked perfectly, thank you!
And since I saw there was a BOX86_BASH too, I added "export BOX86_BASH=~/box86/tests/bash" to bashrc as well.
You shouldn't need the box86 one, box86 will recognise the BOX64_BASH and will use it anyway.
