Hi guys. First of all sorry if I say something VERY noobish in this post. Just thought about this last night and I think it could be fun

I saw some months ago a thread of Linux ported to the 3ds, and as far as I know android is based on linux, so imagine Pokemon GO working in our consoles? It would be pretty cool to be honest

What do yo guys think? New homebrew idea? :rofl2:

Just no. Even on my Octa-core 64bit 2GHz phone it struggles. Imagine how a single processor running at 304MHz (in case of N3DS) would handle it.

Well, even when I ignore hard hardware requirements for Android itself (like RAM; Android 1.1 might be possible, Android 4.4 is required for Go), there still will be the lack of any geo-location-possibility.
It might be possible to provide the location externally, but that would pretty sure violate with the ToS of Pokemon Go.

Also, as Android uses SurfaceFlinger as UI-Base (loosely comparable to Wayland/Weston), there is the need for new drivers. (You also want to use OpenGL/ES for UI and Pokemon and so on; thats way more complex than drawing something on a framebuffer)
I don't think that everything which has to be done for this brings any effort.

But... to answer your question finally:
it is as possible as it is possible to run Windows 7 on a Pentium II machine.

I have two things to say. First one is that even if you ignore the power processing and graphic limitations you lack the XG internet data connection to roam around and you lack the GPS module for geolocating the device. Second one is that even if you could, it doesn't mean you should.

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I installed a Windows XP ISO onto a VM and used a fake product key, as does everybody else, so my best bet is that it's either a false positive or Windows XP having terrible security.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    The product key generator could be tied to mailware like mentioned in the links
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    No, just found product keys in a list on archive.org
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    whatevs, Security removed it from my device
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    There you go
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, Cloud scanners often interpret machine learning to understand the inner workings of a program and checks to see if functionality compares to how malware operates. Hence why it's not always accurate and you get false positives such as W32.Wacatac.

  • ZucchiniMaiden @ ZucchiniMaiden:
    It's interesting that the ISO came with the browser though, is it also pre-loaded with other stuff?
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    now, back to what I was doing last night: going insane because Firefox can't set the new tab page to your custom new tab page-- apparently as a security issue
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yes that was also mentioned in the links I posted
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    @ZucchiniMaiden No no, it was a blank install of XP, I installed the software afterwords lol
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I would not recommend using a product key generator to generate keys, you can find em on the internet relatively easy. And as for Windows XP keys, a certain GitHub page has them. :P

    Now, hmm...
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Is there a Firefox feature in like maybe about:config to change the new tab page to the home page?

    "New Tabs" only has Firefox Home or Blank Page
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, There's the Windows Genuine Advantage that got implemented in SP3 if I remember which checked the license of your Windows installation to see if the key was either pirated or whether it's been activated.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Hav nt had an issue with their milk but bought creamer and it was like cottage cheese

    It got a lot of controversy because it acted in a way like spyware, but really who cares, Microsoft likes to spy on you.

    Unless you got a physical copy of a os which can be found at thrift shops
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Always expect risks on outdated versions of Windows, there's probably a dozen or more vulnerabilities for XP that haven't been patched after the Metasploit.
