Will RPi Run
Program | Will It Run? | Note |
---|---|---|
A piece of software | ? | First, look below and replace "game" with "my software" . If it is open source , why don't you TEST IT YOURSELF : Get the development VM , the software source code , compile in scratchbox , |
My favorite PS3/PC game | NO ! |
Minecraft : no, Quake 3 : luckily yes , other games: convince the developer ! |
My favorite Web 2.0 / 1.0 App | ? | As long there is no Flash content , of course. Might be slow. Check out the mobile/HTML5 versions. facebook: yes , Google : yes , hulu : no , youtube: yes. |
Windows | No | Windows runs only on x86 type computers , the Pi is ARM. |
Windows 8 | NO ! |
|
WinCE/WinMobile/ WinXYZ |
NO ! |
|
WINE | No | Sorry. WINE is x86 only. Anything else is a pipe dream , believe me. |
Netflix | No | Netflix uses proprietary technology which is not supported for Linux. There is help request against that online. |
Android | ? | Very propable , but NOT Ice Cream Sandwich ! Remember : 256 MB RAM ? |
Java | Yes | Might be *slow* . No idea about browser plugins. |
Flash | No | You can try gnash (GNU Flash) and many other projects. They are NOT a drop-in replacement for Adobes official thing. |
