Atom tablets are weak for dolphin, even if you could use x64 i doubt you could have playable speeds.

that's a lie because I've seen Asus tablets with atom processor s play dolphin just fine

Atom tablets are basically as fast as the ARM tablets,  so I don't see the issue.  ARM Devices aren't at playable speeds either,  and we still use those.  Any ES 3.0 capable Atom also has x64 capabilities after a 5.0 update.  Remember,  this is an android thread, not a desktop thread,  so it requires an adjustment in perspective.  Atom's are relatively powerful in the mobile space.

So its not possible to use/make a x86 compatible version of whatever also I know its just as powerful but since most apps use arm processor s and not x86 we sorta get kicked to the curb when it comes to trying to run programs successfully I mean you see Reicast still is compatible with x86 processors lord knows when the "r7 update" is going to be released.
