Yes, our idea is to support all that. I still keep my GP32 and GP2X,
I'm a fan of retro games and emulators.

As I said above, it may be interesting to launch a EOMA68-A20
completely libre with this type of software. Without proprietary
drivers for the GPU to be completely free.

Thanks for your comments.
