How well does that work on an eink device that is designed to only need to refresh the screen once every several seconds? I assume an emulator like this needs to run at dozens of frames per second.
It was made for e-ink, so i wager a guess it works well.
It's a homebrew app, not a commercial product. There are plenty of homebrew apps that do things awfully on hardware they really shouldn't run on. But someone made it just because they can.
It works fine for turn-based games like your Pokemon and Fire Emblems. I don't recommend trying to play something like Mario or Metroid. Honestly the screen can update at a decent rate, but the ghosting is awful.
