Did a retroarch version still develop and run on clockwork pi ? The Linux system comes with all the drivers also for a fully support of the gpu ?

The Clockwork Pi, in essence, is a motherboard with an ARM processor that comes with a Debian-based OS. This makes it similar to the Raspberry Pi at a technical standpoint, so just anything that will work with the RPi will work with the GameShell. Retroarch has many versions for boards like the Clockwork Pi and has an [apt repo](http://www.retroarch.com/index.php?page=linux-instructions), so if anything you can use that to get it working.

Yes, it is. Two good wrappers for this would be Python’s Pygame or Lua’s LÖVE.
