And for interpreter on X86 on android, you need to compile dolphin on your own.

You guys are overlooking the inclusion of arm to x86 conversion libraries that Intel includes as standard in their AOSP package.  All x86 have it.  So if his device happened to have a 64bit build of android (which it likely does not), then it could technically run the armv8 JIT. It's not likely his device has that particular capability,  but it is something to keep in mind,  that for the moment Intel devices can be left ignored and still work.

I wouldn't be surprised if it fails spectacularly on the JIT.

Even if the device is running x86_64 those libraries only convert from ARMv7 code, Dolphin still wouldn't work.

Armv8 code is supported in the libhoudini builds for x86-64.  A prime example would be remix OS on x86,  which uses the stock libhoudini library and can completely boot and run dolphin, albeit with the JIT bugging out quite a bit.

So you're suggesting to run a JIT within a JIT?
No, there is no way to get this fast. It's better to just fix our damn jit64 to support PIE....

X86 emulating ARM that emulates a PPC ? o___O
According to Google the Tablet has an Atom Z3735G which is already too slow to run anything on Dolphin on Windows at full speed.
The Bay Trail Atoms and even the slower Cherry Trails are already too slow in general for Dolphin.

At the moment only Tablets that are powered by a Tegra X1 (barely) or Intel i5/i7/Core-M are capable to run Dolphin decently.

But I wouldn't give up hope. maybe in the future Dolphin will be able to benefit of more than 2 cores.
