What if RetroArch/libretro could run on an eBook Reader?!

Sounds crazy enough to be interesting, right?

I don’t think anybody’s tried to run at least a GameBoy Emulator on any non-Kindle eBook Reader today.

So I ask you: “Is it possible?”

You should be able to. Most readers use an Android OS. I managed to hack my Nook to allow apps from the play store. (I actually installed the Kindle app :grin:.) Problem is the screen refresh rate would make anything unplayable.

What about these guys?

The newer models usually have a fantastic refresh rate (or so I’ve seen), even some of them come with coloured screens, and video support of all things…

Maybe this is a chance to make a new e-reader optimised UI/high-contrast monochrome theme, or something…

I’ve got a Kobo and fantastic is a relative term. I still think you would get dramatic ghosting.

Would be fun to try though.:grin:
