    I managed to get a Pi Zero 2W before the price gouging took place, and it is very capable for emulation. It was the last Pi device I bought, as I have shifted to retired mini office PCs for emulation now, which are much cheaper eeper and way more powerful.

    I remember early on in our video game pie adventures floating the idea of an RPG only build. Since games that require precision timing with button presses and the very nature of emulation not always working hand in hand... seldom is an RPG something that isn't perfectly enjoyable. I remember even starting to build out what that list of games would look like.
    As I started to transition from Raspberry Pi, to really getting into physical consoles and games... I've collected nearly every RPG from the 8-16bit generations.
    I just love appreciating games... they remind me of a better time, and frankly a better world we lived in. Every stage of my life I feel like I never knew how good I had it till I got to the next one.

If I may entertain an idea for you though, you could make multiple copies of the sd card and sell them on your new market place and get people into retro gaming in a much better way than buying those crappy pre-built game systems. I know you would sell them at reasonable price too because that's just how you roll lol! I've already built my own collection using Retrobat so I don't even need another build but Hell, I'd buy your build and my own Pi Zero just for the cool factor alone!👍

    @UltraZelda64 Před 4 měsíci +2

    In my experience, N64 emulation can be pretty hit or miss even on an overclocked Pi 4. Hell, some games even chug a bit on my laptop (and while it's a decade old, it's no slouch). To be fair, despite the difference in platforms and power, they're generally the same games screwing up at the same places and in the same way. N64 emulation is just nowhere near perfect. But still, it's gotta take balls to attempt to run N64 on something like that. Haha.

    • @AndikaThe2000
      @AndikaThe2000 Před 4 měsíci +2
