Nvidia Shield Tablet

[bomblord]

So I've seen some general impressions here. Is it safe to assume less demanding games work on this? Do any wii games run at all? The reason I'm asking is I'm considering picking up a shield tablet and this may sway my purchase one way or another.

It's probably good enough to use to show off to people, but not really to play anything. The 64-bit version of the tablet isn't that far away, and is likely to perform better for this emulator, so if Dolphin's something you care about, it might be better to wait.

The 64-bit version is already here in the Nexus 9, and early ideos so far suggest Dolphin does not in fact work any better than the 32-bit version. I wonder whether that is because of Nvidia's atypical in-order compiling architecture, but nothing is certain right now.

It's due to the fact the Nexus 9 doesn't have OpenGL 4 support, and is locked down to OpenGLES3.1

Ah yes, I was aware of that also, thanks for pointing that out too.
