I just installed ppsspp on my sumsung galaxy S, and i could actually run a couple of games.

Since the pi (1ghz overclocked) has about the same cpu power as the sgs (1 ghz) and a much more powerfull gpu, it should also allow these games to run.

Now we just need someone to manage to compile it and get it working…

I don’t know anything about the processor in the Galaxy S, but in general you can’t compare processors of different families based on the clock speed alone.

Wikipedia has a good explanation:

they are both single core arm cpu’s so…

here are geekbench scores:

SGS: ~250 units

RPI:~290 units

the rpi is actually faster

Ah ok, so they do seem comparable.

Maybe this thread will be of interest:
