[Arm-netbook] Block Diagram - ZEOMA - Handheld Games Console

[Eric Duhamel]

A game console based on emulators and ports can be really interesting even
before adding non-free software.

For starters, you may be able to find public domain or even free software
ROM for most of the emulators, and they could even be shipped with the
device operating system as part of the free software included! Users
looking for a device to play classic games will of course download what
they want, but that base set of games will be there, pre-installed, free,
and legal. [PD Roms](http://pdroms.de/) [Community Software](

RetroPie has an interesting project they call [Ports](https://github.com/
retropie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Ports). Some of the engines and games they are
porting are free software.

Lastly, it could be really helpful to provide a platform target for free
software games developers. I'd guess that a device that can run/test games
written in [Godot](https://godotengine.org/), , or Pygame would be rather
attractive.
