      @Seeker Wow! I've googled about some ways to do what you want and found it: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/41889/how-can-i-chroot-into-a-filesystem-with-a-different-architechture

      Some of the answers/comments made me believe that there's a hope! Sure I'll try it when I found some time!

      Looks like we can chroot to a mounted img file using qemu tools and run binaries from ARM architecture...

          Hey I have done that before with my pi!

          N64 emulation is the next step :)

                  If you use ubuntu (or other types of linux)

                  Install gparted from the software center, use gparted to format the SD card, then use the downloaded disk image and use the pre-installed disk imager to image the disk. It works that way I tried it.

                      So you mean make an image of the emulator we want, transfer to SD card and it will auto install?
