    Hi all,

    I know this has been asked before here

    https://forum.kag2d.com/threads/cannot-run-on-raspberry-pi-running-debian-linux.13935/

    and here

    https://forum.kag2d.com/threads/server-for-raspberry-pi-solved.21574/

    but since then some time has passed and maybe some changes have been made: Is it possible to run a KAG linux server on an ARM processor, specifically the Allwinner® A20(sun 7i) SoC with ARM® Cortex™-A7 Dual-Core up to 1.2GHz (ARM v7 instruction set) of the Banana Pi Pro? (Basically a copy of the raspberry pi)

    Thank you for your answers in advance
    Glyoxim

    Edit:
    I just realized that maybe I posted this at the wrong place. If someone wants to delete or move this thread to the server help, please go ahead and sorry for any inconvenience.

    Actually it can be pretty easy, there are plenty x86 virtualizers that can run windows (or linux, it doesn't really matter) but you have two major limits :
    - Memory
    - Performance
    Because yeah emulating x86 with such a cheap processor will be very slow, probably unplayable.

    First: thanks for moving the thread :thumbs_up:
    Second: Yeah, I know emulation probably wont work, however, I only want to run a server. So I'll probably try it anyway and if I get it to work I'll post it here (might take a few weeks, time is limited).
    marcel5 thanks for recommending this emulator, I only heard of QEMU, this might be a betteralternative.

    Actually, emulating is sure slow, but most likely the only way. It probably needs either x86 Linux or Windows environment.
    QEMU may do the job, I used it to emulate a Raspberry on my desktop.
