Which really means this is a terrible way to emulate games.

The bug list is pretty darn unacceptable for a usable emulator.

You can’t even emulate PAL region games.

It’s a nice novelty that this is built in to the OS but the Linux/Android retro handheld scene is so much more wildly sophisticated than a half-broken command line emulator. Just jump on YouTube and search for an OnionOS overview to see what I mean.

Not being supported != not working.

Probably they would run faster and that's it.

Also, you can't compare GNU/Linux with 9front.

I’m pretty sure in the context of the manual it means PAL games don’t work.

Why can’t I compare them? If someone wants to emulate games they ought to compare operating systems. Like I said, cool that 9front has a built in emulator, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good use case of the OS.
