3DO Wing Commanders Demonstrated On Nvidia Portable (December 13, 2016)

[ChrisReid]

Android_Tester has posted a couple of neat videos showing off both Super Wing Commander and WC3 playing on the Nvidia Shield. Prior testing demonstrated that the system wasn't quite up to running most WC games in DOSBox for Android, but these are actually the 3DO version, which is very neat. If you're not familiar with this fantastic console port, it's worth checking out for that alone! We don't generally recommend trying this at home unless you legally own the discs already, but we do admire the technical achievement demonstrated here. This appears to use the Real3DOPlayer emulation software. Alternately for your portable fix, there are now more powerful handhelds that can properly load and emulate the DOS WC games as well.

It works because the 3DO had a 12.5mhz ARM chip. The Shield being built on the ARM architecture, is able to execute a lot of the code natively. This emulator should also be portable to most mobile phones.

I'm confused, googling the pandoras specs its nowhere near as powerful as the shield. Is there a newer version?
