Linux On Nvidia Shield TV PRO - Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions

I’m trying to get Linux on my Nvidia Shield but I understand it’s running on mobile CPUs, I am wanting to have PC CPUs installed so that I am able to play Steam, Blizard and Rockstar games. Will offer the necessary funds for completion.

GNU/Linux distros or even NT booting on the Nexus Player?

Would it be possible to boot any of them? The same SoC platform has support for Windows 8 and Chrome OS
I don't have a Nexus Player yet but I suppose it should be possible, specially a Linux distro by flashing a modified ramdisk and a simple distro, being able to use a Nexus Player as a fully fledged PC would increase my interest in buying one exponentially

Where did you see a Moorefield SoC supporting Windows? I haven't seen anything about that.
But yeah, given that Android is Linux, it should probably be able to handle other distros, if somebody gets the drivers working.
Yeah I'm afraid of that as well, specially with that PowerVR , I still have fears of Poulsbo on my old Laptop.
There aren't any devices other than Android running Moorefield yet but Intel announced they have big plans for Windows in these chips as well, I don't know how it could be brung up with the bootloader setup that Google uses but remember it's still the Silvermont microarchitecture, also we could get libhybris working on x86 for GPU bringup if they don't make X11/Wayland drivers for the PowerVR GPU
Reviving old thread, hoping someone could point me how to start trying to boot a bare debian on the player, with the final target being to run steamos. Imagine that, dual booting android and steamos from a pendrive or even from a pxe server
I've tried most of the streamers, kinoni being half decent, remotr has performance issues. I'm on an amd card so moonlight is not an option, remotr supports amd vce but lags a lot on the player, I'm guessing optimization issues as it works great on my nexus 5. As valve plans to sell the steam streamer soon, my hopes for a valve provided, native steam in home streaming client are low.

NVIDIA Shield Tablet Apps

Im very unhappy with NVIDIA's attention to our tegra 4's... Is there any way of porting the shield apps like dabbler 2 and games to our devices? I don't feel our tegra 4's 72 gu chips have been put to good use in this past year.:silly:

nVidia Shield Portable games.

I was looking at the CPU power on the shield and the Moto G5 plus is more powerful, think it can run Shield only Games?
The Snapdragon 625 is not more powerful than the Tegra K1, IMO. Furthermore, part of the way that Shield works is through GeForce NOW which basically runs games on a cloud server and streams them to your device, so you always need a connection. Some of the lighter games may be playable on the phone, but those likely have similar apps already available in the Play Store.

Is there an Android emulator on Windows with Shield TV device specs emulation?

It can either have Shield TV's OTA of any version or any other custom Android-ROM but I want access to ARMv8 aarch64 and potentially the computers desktop OpenGL supported to come close to the X1 gpu chip.
Ryujinx and Yuzu exist as Switch emulators on Windows,so emulation of the X1 chip already exists in some basic form,so it should be possible to emulate that.
If not,is there any other Android emulator on Windows with 64bit Android support that can run Dolphin emulator for testing purposes?
I wanted to test performance to see what happens compared to just directly running the Windows version of Dolphin purely out of curiosity.
What if it oddly performs faster for some weird reason due to less accuracy or a stronger design for high performance on Android device hardware/OS limitations?
