Actually, I never would have thought XO would be worth playing, till I got a collector had me give it a whirl. Using the 4" diameter trackballs to run, was fun.. and a real workout to boot. |

Oh, and for the frontend, please make it somewhat easy to create skins/themes for. If the resources are just a couple of .png files for example, like in AdvanceMenu. I'd love to be able to skin it, and I'm sure there will be many more people interested in doing that too. |

shanghaiguide this is great news! :applaud: I'm myself a linux programmer and I'd LOVE to have such a board to play with! It's quite a dream to have an ARM board with an open loader so we can place our own custom linux with the emulators and the frontends we want! Moreover, it's going to be nice small and powerful linux computer with easy to connect and use digital input lines on an edge connector I can see many other uses besides arcade. I registered your site and I'll be waiting for updates! |

--- Quote from: paigeoliver on February 05, 2013, 04:37:36 pm ---How will the emulation be better when Mame is terrible on ARM processors compared to X86 ones? --- End quote --- That's like saying all blondes are stupid, or that MIPS is terrible for MAME just because it sucks on PS2 or PSP. CPU architecture is not important, CPU is either fast enough or not. Generally speaking it's GPU and OS (drivers) which are really important. But I do agree with your question, just instead generalizing the case to "ARM CPU" it's really about combination of all the hardware and software components on a specific ARM based boards, like 60-in-1, GP2X, RaspberryPi, or Android devices. For games those ARM boards can run at full speed emulation is not worse than compared to x86. Even 60-in-1, which is the most underpowered of all, does as good if not better job for those particular 60 games than you could make with comparable PC setup, apart from audio that is, but that's not fault of CPU or ARM architecture. So I'd say more specific and thus better question would be: can this thing do better than, say GP2X, and can we see some videos of it |
