I haven't used an ARM system, but docker might be the best bet? Get docker installed and find instructions for install Jellyfin and each arr program.

Use Android TV with an alternate launcher like FLaunchee
I count myself among the SNES loyalists so I wasn't a fan of the cutscenes either when I played the DS version. They feel so clunky and forced when shoved into an SNES-era game.
The best example happened in the middle of the game (no spoilers). There's a pivotal scene featuring a character who unlocks the true potential of their weapon. The original features some quaint Mode 7 flashing lights with a music swell, but I always liked the moment.
Cue the modern version. Right before that big moment, the screen goes black. Now there's a bit-crunched PS1-era FMV playing that shows the whole scene. Screen goes back to the game. Now we get to watch the entire scene again with in-game graphics.
They feel weird. I'm an old man now who likes to complain. I would just download the ROM to play on the PC. I also have to recognize that people don't want to do that and it all amounts to personal opinion.
Good, worth the price if you don't want or have emulation as an option. There were bug fixes after a rocky start and is based off the DS version. Other reviews will say the DS version is a "definitive version" because:
- It includes cutscenes from the PlayStation release.
- Includes bonus content and a new ending.
The PC and DS versions also feature a new English translation. Fans of the original (i.e. me) will notice the difference. The SNES loyalists will be the biggest detractors for this version. But I don't think there's a substantial argument against newcomers playing this port other than bias and nostalgia.
If you're in the U.S.:
- Create a fake credit card with Privacy
- Set the purchase limit to $0.
- Create a temporary email
- Start a 7-day trial on Medici.tv
- Use a video downloading tool to grab what you want.
Truthfully, I don't know if step ~~4~~ 5 will be easy. I've used OBS to do screen records of encrypted content. But that takes a long time to do, so maybe there is more information out there about ripping web video?
I've always said that the PAL/JP hardware with the US purple would look awesome.
