The Pi doesn't have the power to run some games.

I ran into problems with NeoGeo games.

Were they borderline performance issues, or were speeds off by an order of magnitude? Would they run acceptably on a Pi3 (about 1.5x a Pi2 and 10x a Pi1)? What about an ODroid-C2 (about 1.5x the speed of the Pi3)?

Nintendo64 and Playstation emulation on ARM SBCs is probably in a similar state, for a lot of games. Some games will run beautifully, some will be hopelessly slow.

Completely unplayable on a Pi2. When it didn't do the hardware bootup after 5 minutes, I gave up.

Maybe the ODroid could make it happen but the Pi2 simply cannot.
