      Hey guys, if I build a 64 bit kernel, will I be able to get a x86 download?

      I found this too it may help.

      N64 emulation is the next step :)

        @CodeDrawer No, x86 and ARM are different architectures.

          Oh, so if I made a 64 bit kernel someone would need to make a arm 64 retropie?

              Aww, so the pi will likely never be able to run Gamecube? Or wii?

                @CodeDrawer NEVER. And I say that without an ounce of doubt. Absolutely never.

                  Aww. I had hopes for it! But @AlexMurphy What use is having a 64 bit computer if it doesn't run 64 bits? Isn't that a waste?

                    @CodeDrawer Well maybe if the next Pi clocked at 3GHz, had at least twice the RAM and a hefty GPU then, perhaps but that is as likely as my pet unicorn breeding successfully.

                        @AlexMurphy The pi foundation will keep producing 64 bit flagship models, and the 64 bit ness will seep into the other cheaper models so I don't see why not they will make a 64 bit raspbian.

                          @CodeDrawer i believe you can already get a 64-bit kernel for the rpi3 if you look around.

                          however it won't suddenly make the rpi3, or likely any near-future rpis anywhere near the spec needed to run dolphin, etc.
