That's an interesting idea. I'd be open to that. I just got a Retroid Pocket Nova, and I am shocked at what can run with GameNative. Ys X runs just about as well on there as it does on my pc. And only draws about 7-9 watts. New Vegas even runs. Frame rate drops when the physics start going. But the fact that I can run it on a $300 android handheld is nuts. I would love to see what an arm powerhouse can do. What could $500 get you in arm hardware? Or $600? Would you get even more performance running straight Linux?
