Run, yes, but 100% sure it wont run as well. The GPD Win 2 is a monster, performance wise, compared to the Pyra.

Still fresh, damnit!
Plus it targets openGL, and probably a quite high level of that. We'd need gl4es to be extended quite dramatically to shim all of that out I suspect.
I wouldn't rule out a 3DS emulator being runnable on the pyra, but it'd need to be something a little more hand crafted than that using more NEON code and targeting GLes directly I suspect. So it's unlikely to be a port of that emulator, though I dare say someone creating a native 3DS emulator for ARM chips would use the source for research or cross-referencing.

Argghhh, I can feel my resolve breaking. I think I may break down and put my money in on one of these.

I've heard he has no interest in making a 3DS emulator.
Prereservations (so basically preorders without a downpayment) will start April 15th in my shop, delivery start middle to end of May (according to GPD).

Thanks for the Video, good to see it's so pleasantly easy to get Linux working on the Win 2.
General question on the Win 2 : When doing desktop stuff such as Libre Office or browsing Wikipedia can the Win 2 run in fanless mode?

Does the GPD Win2 still have a fanless mode? I thought they'd removed the switch and made it automatic, like almost any laptop from the past ten years. I guess I could switch my fan off by using a different regulator* but I think I'd have to reboot to enable that.
* Might not be the right word; the thing that governs the CPU speed from inputs of the system load. In which case I would be clocking it low enough that it can cool passively, which would mean you can do anything non-real time, it would just be slower to complete.

Nope, no fanless mode.
It's automatic and can mostly always be heard 5m away (even when just sitting at the desktop)

Then it must be either pretty loud in your room or my fan must be horribly broken (though it sounds like a normal laptop fan).
My parents and wife were wondering what that noise was when we had dinner - and the GPD Win 2 was lying on a table about 4m away from the dinner table.
That's the normal price. We'll have a preorder with a discounted price in April.

Looks like 2018 is going to be an expensive year.
