raspberry pi portable ish?

[Legolessed]

ok i know i know everyone is saying that raspberry pi portables are everywhere and yes i know that but i had a weird idea thats a little different. Everyone is talking about retro games on a raspberry pi portable. but what about a game like minecraft running on a raspberry pi zero portable. And not the pi version of minecraft, the desktop full version of minecraft. I know i wont be getting any crazy fps numbers but i just wanted to know if it was possible and how i could make the controller for the pi.

Zero couldn't handle it.

why not get a used laptop? What can you do on a pi than you can't do on a standard x86 laptop?

You realize that a lot of Intel CPUs with integrated graphics can't handle Minecraft, right? You won't get anywhere near running the game on a Pi, especially not a Zero. You can use the Pi version.

That maybe but it wouldn't be very enjoyable.

im not making anything huge tho. most of the handhelds have tiny displays and minecraft is already super pixelated

if this doesnt work out a really cool thing to do would be to make a handheld that was tiny but had a trackpad and a keyboard like an actual laptop.

I'd never heard of any of this, but if you get it working, it won't be very good. You could possibly get it to work through a remote client from the RPi to a Windows machine, but it would be laggy as crap.

it isnt super laggy. I used splashtop to transfer the screen data on one phone, and used a second phone as a gamepad. Played some minecraft across the house from my pc. i have tried a lot of things

There you go, so Minecraft was running on the computer, not the phone.
