So, i played around a bit with qemu, one of the most famous emulators. Trying to run a tiny x86 linux with it and use that to run a samp server.
By now, the boot process took 90 minutes and is still going. Normally this would take max 30 seconds. Means that emulation is way too slow on the raspi, i even doubt you could get a 1 slot server properly running this way. The only way to get an actually useable server will be compiling the server for that machine. Would be a really nice experiment, but i strongly doubt that the devs will spend time with that.
