minus-squaretal@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 个月前Faster isn’t always better – there’s software from the era that relied on hardware limitations to throttle itself – but I’d think that emulators probably have pretty good support for such throttling.
minus-squaredeegeese@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 个月前If someone wanted emulation, wouldn’t they have bought one of the many other tiny laptops that have been on the market for years? I think the point of this is to run natively on vintage hardware.
