EmuELEC VS sbc-bench

Considering Chocolate and LZDoom, both can work but what you would want is LZDoom for .pk3 files. There should be a guide here.

Ships with EmuELEC 4.3. Should I be upgrading to the latest version (currently 4.6) or leave it at 4.3?There seems to be a lot of bug fixes and stability improvements in the 4.6 update but I'm not sure if they would be a benefit to the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" 4.3.

Here is the direct link to the correct EmuELEC 4.3 version for the Arcade Box: https://github.com/EmuELEC/EmuELEC/releases/download/v4.3/EmuELEC-Amlogic-ng.aarch64-4.3-Generic.img.gz

As far as I know most of those boxes are just using Amlogic processors. You could try installing an emu distro such as EmuELEC on a new MicroSD card and seeing if it boots.

It’s for certain Pi alternatives and Android TV devices: https://github.com/EmuELEC/EmuELEC

I think that the TH1520 in the Beagle-V and Lichee Pi 4A only has support for 5.10 kernel at least for access to most of the features of the SoC. If you do not mind loosing access to most features of the SoC, then you can run any kernel.

Nope it was with a u2c. Also I'm pretty sure the btt pi is actually faster than a pi 3b by like 30% at least going off https://github.com/ThomasKaiser/sbc-bench

I also recommend running something more intensive aside from memtest when it comes to overclocking RAM. https://github.com/ThomasKaiser/sbc-bench/issues/55

Well aside from the usual Wirth's law answer, the key is high abstraction on all levels, which brings bloat with it.

Eventually that bloat will get optimized, as that chart interestingly shows iphone responsiveness climbing with increasing years. Same with Windows, where there was a sizable abstraction jump with Vista, which then got slowly optimized over 7, 8 and 10.

There's even abstraction in memory management now, with 64 bit virtual address mapping. I've recently stumbled upon these ARM benchmarks https://github.com/ThomasKaiser/sbc-bench/blob/master/Result... and was surprised that the Pi 4 runs 10-50% slower in 64 bit mode compared to 32 bit. I'd expect there was also a notable speed decrease when going from 8 to 16 and 32 bit systems.

Not exactly what you're after, but I've contributed some benchmarks to https://github.com/ThomasKaiser/sbc-bench which you can use to compare with other arm boards.
