I have tablet with almost the same specs, and I'm afraid neither this one has real GPU. Without stretching it can run most of the classic MAME games full speed, but without GPU if you scale to some larger size then the speed drops down to only 10-15fps. Not sure how that impacts HDMI video out as I don't have it on my tablet, but I'd rather pay more and buy something with GPU, which is also important for Android OS itself, as without it can OS can be slow and tedious to work with. Still, if I could buy it for only $50 without any delivery or other costs I guess it's worth to have some fun with. EDIT: Actually, having HDMI and resolution up to 720p it seems this thing would need to have much more decent GPU than mine, so I think it's definitively worth further investigation. |

Its a 800mhz VIA. Bag of crap. |

I checked different VIA CPUs specs, mine is crap compared to this one. This one does have 3D acceleration and OpenGL ES 2.0 support, unlike mine, so I'd say this is actually pretty good for it's price, if only the postage didn't cost almost as the device itself. I think it could be powerful enough to run Street Fighter II and Metal Slug at full speed for example, so that gives you about few thousand MAME games. It's also quite possible it could run PlayStation emulator at full speed, but if not PS1 and N64, then SNES, GENS, C64, Amstrad... they ought to run great on it. I see in Raspberry thread you said you use your phone to play MAME. What emulator are you using, and have you tried this one yet? |
