Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hi guys!

I just found about PINE64 today: http://pine64.com/product

Do you think it'd be able to run Dolphin (and more accurately, I'm interested in SSB Melee)?
It seems fairly powerful, lots of customization options and such.

With this kind of power we could easily imagine a portable Dolphin setup that fits in the pocket!

I haven't really kept up with Dolphin's Android version, but the specs here (Quad-Core Cortex-A53) make it less powerful than a Tegra X1, and I'm pretty sure the GPU isn't nearly as good. Could probably run a number of games decently (I'm guessing here) but would probably still hit a lot of speed issues. Melee might be okay, but again, I don't keep up with ARM, Android, and Dolphin. Better than a lot of other options (for that price range).

We can't run on the Mali400 GPU. So you would be limited by how fast those Cortex-A53s can run the LLVMPipe software renderer.
Most likely in the single digits in even the most basic of tests.
