AFAIK it should be possible to get it to work on non-x86. One would have to implement the IO functions for x86emu and mmap the Video BIOS, both of which should be relatively easy tasks. I don't however have direct access to hardware other than x86(_64) and thus haven't had a chance to write such code and test it.
