You need something like this.
BeagleBone Black!

Of course. Why is Dolphin emulator still here? Because its perfectly legal. Read on Sony vs Bleem if your interested .

Define "sucessfully". Now, we usually close threads like these, but I'll entertain this since I know a thing or two about messing with ARM SoCs. You can run Dolphin on ARM based systems, there's a compilation guide here. IIRC, it'll run the software renderer since most ARM systems now don't support OpenGL ES 3.0 on their GPUs. You could build and run Dolphin on the BBB, but it would scarcely run well. 1 FPS, perhaps if you feel like rounding up. If you're interested in knowing what the BBB is capable of for emulation, here's a list of systems you can reasonably emulate:

I really doubt that will work due to the lack of OS or any kind of modern OS for that matter. Not every arm device is going to be able to run dolphin's arm branch. My blu-ray player has an arm cpu but it sure as hell can't run dolphin.
Edit: Ok so apparently you can install a butchered ubuntu build on this thing. That might be able to do it. I stand corrected.

You could use Ubuntu, or a real GNU/Linux distro, like Arch Linux
Arch Linux has been supported on the BeagleBones and BeagleBoards for a while, and it's a suitable distro for anything you want to mold it into (if you know how to use the OS, a caveat for some). 05-13-2013, 12:03 PM

You can? Is this ^^ right because on Dolphin you cannot do that, legally. Also, what is better, a Raspverry Pi or this Beaglebone thing (had to look it up at first, never heard of it).

The legal status of emulation? AFAIK you must own the system and the games to emualte them.
games are intelectual property, which is what you pay for, you don`t pay, let`s say, 50 dollars for a piece of plastic (the disk that holds the data) (05-13-2013, 12:03 PM)omega_rugal Wrote:Quote:Where would I be able to buy a legit copy of Super Mario World so an emulator could play it? In the U.S., that's still copyright infringement. Even if you own a physical incarnation of a copyrighted material, unless you have explicit permission from the owner, or your use is covered under fair use, making any copy is copyright infringement. Making a copy from an existing physical copy you own is covered under fair use; it's no different from ripping CDs. If you download someone else's copy, that's infringement. The providers of that ROM are not authorized to distribute that file from the copyright holders. Distribution over the internet to anonymous end-users falls outside of fair use for a variety of reasons. Other countries' laws might very well vary. But in the U.S., it's a legal myth that you can download willy-nilly ROMs of games you already own (when it's not a copy you made for yourself). omega_rugal Wrote:The legal status of emulation? AFAIK you must own the system and the games to emualte them. You don't have to own the system. A game is merely software, outside of a EULA, nothing stops users from running the software on different platforms or ignoring the original platform altogether. I can buy games made for Windows and run them on Linux via CrossOver Games, for example (though WINE Is Not an Emulator ) You can buy PS1 games, rip them to your computer, and run them in PCSXR without ever having owned a PS1. 05-13-2013, 12:19 PM
