Any thoughts on ART in Android 4.4 KitKat - Raqun - 11-07-2013 12:26 PM

Basically i'm asking if this will have any major impact on performance? Will modifications be a necessity for PPSSPP? Will two versions be made avalible? Davlik and ART?

I am not a developer, but as I understand ART doesn't use JIT and runs code natively.

Thank you for your thoughts and BR, Gaj

ART sounds great but will only affect apps written in Java. PPSSPP is almost entirely C++.
