Reports are that it isn't, because it's too slow and laggy even for that purpose.

Damn! Smartphones can do it. Something's up, although you don't get the ouya because you want a powerful machine.

Really? A Smartphone can emulate a Nintendo 64 or similar?

Edit: properly?

I can play FF7 on my galaxy nexus (still have my original ps1 discs). There's a lil frame dropping here and there...but for the most part works fine.

Her insistence on shaking everything was disturbing to say the least...

OT, Ouya. I kinda like the concept, but I'm still waiting so see it in action. The buttons spelling Ouya was a great idea. Gotta like it.

Also, that isn't gunmetal grey, that's fake silver.

Hand over your man badge, buddy.

Err, what?

Wouldn't a real man know that the shiny silver plastic is nothing like gunmetal grey, which is a dark, matte color? You know, like the barrel of a gun?

You make a good point. Though, typically, a man should know a real gun by smell and by how it sits in his hands. Here is what we know about colour: http://www.geekinheels.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/how_men_and_women_see_colors.jpg

XKCD can do you one better. Obsoive.

The Ouya is an android device. Your Tegra 3 android phones are very similar:

It does emulaters

Yeah, not very well, though. That's the point.

You can "do" emulators on many things, but making them perform well, or properly emulate the original is a whole other issue.

I haven't done so myself, but what I posted of a guy playing "Link to the Past" showed at least it can be done.

The Tegra 4 is either out or near out and is 6 times the power of Tegra 3. But, given that I have played without issue Bard's Tale at about Xbox original quality, I have to believe the Ouya capable of up to N64 emulation with no problem (Though emulation is more power sucking than a direct port).

Honestly, since hearing about "Side loading" the only thing keeping me from getting one is a huge backlog of PS3 games I have to get through before PS4 comes out.

As I eventually opted to not put money towards it but decided to remain interested in what happened to it...

Well, let's just say I want to see how this review you mentioned turns out.
