There are a few ARM devices that have enough horsepower, I've toyed with the
idea of trying to run CrystalSpace on them. the problem is, getting them in
a development-friendly package is... well, tough. At the very least I'd need
to custom make a PCB board... and that's a bit too intense for my hobby
work... at the moment. But, I most certainly think that if there was some
interest developer side, I'd be more then willing to look into making some
attempts, and submitting 'bug' reports.
Personally, I'd be more excided about CS on consoles.. like an xbox 360 or
wii.
