Hello,
so Microsoft announced that Windows 8 will run on ARM. Since ARM is a RISC architecture just like PowerPC will it make emulation easier or will it be the same? I don't know how similar ARM and PPC are, so I can't really say anything for this. What I do know is that there is no more endian conversion needed anymore, at least.
What obviously would run better are Gameboy Advance emus for example, right? Or is it so minmal that it wouldn't matter? (Of course it wouldn't matter now, because X86 cpus are much strong enough to just do 4 GBAs in a flinch)
What are your opinions about this?
