Shillers gotta shill. This is why Trump won the memes.

So no one uses this?

>>3626730
Excellent buzzwords friendo!

You would make a find addition to this thread >>3622898
Try google.

I feel the exact same way abot the nes mini. I was excited about the thing so much i couldn't sleep and shitposted on here every day about the fugging thing and how cool it would be to play it on the toilet, but the shortage of the things and them going for 500 bucks has me shitted off at nintendo and im going to get a raspberry pie ok. but anyway to answer your questions you should get the pi 3, it emulates most stuff up to 16 bit well, ps1 well, and n64 pretty half assed like everything else. I'd get a kit off of amazon for like 70 bucks that has the pi and the case and power supply and stuff. and get a usb controller and say fugg the nes mini :D

>find
whoops!

Not as good as everyone hypes them up to be, has a input lag that is inherent to the entire device. Pi simply wasn't designed with games in mind.

Best solution is to get an android device of some sort, load up retroarch, and then have a jolly olé time.

So... An Ouya?

>>3626880
No

And now, answers to your questions.
1) Yes, get the Raspberry Pi 3, model B. It's great.
2) Depending on what you use (just go with RetroPie) it'll emulate the NES and SNES just fine.
3) Get a case for the Raspberry Pi because the thing needs to sit on something. Plus, it makes it easier to handle it. Just case a normal case made for the Raspberry Pi (all of mine have a small case costing about $15).
4) There are stores which sell the Raspberry Pi. However, you may have to go to big box stores like Fry's. Otherwise, Amazon or the official Raspberry Pi website are your friends.

>I was thinkin I could use a genesis case, as a case
Maybe genesis 3, looks to be about the right size.

Not sure how good an idea that really is, are you actually skilled enough to solder the genesis ports to the GPIO connector? And even then, genesis gamepads are pretty damn useful, they work with other systems with meeker controller options, are you sure you want to squander one or two on a Pi?

>>3626671
I'd think it would be more practical to just transplant a raspberry pi into a multitap. Assuming it would fit into some of them.

>>3626671
Go on Amazon and buy the CanaKit for $59. Buy at least a 32GB class 10 microSD card. Finally, buy a couple of iBuffalo SNES usb controllers for around $12 a piece. Download the retropie image and enjoy. and by the way, the easiest way to get roms onto the pi is with the usb thumb drive method.

>>3626761
are you going to play mario with it in the bathroom while you take a shit in the toilet too?

Not exactly relevant to thread but I found somewhere that still has the console for 129.99. Should I get it or wait it out?

>>3627319
>paying more than $50 for a 30 year old plug-and-play console

literally set up a RP3 last night with Retropie, absolutely fucking loving it so far. you wont be disappointed. fuck the nintendo classic.

>>3626671
Raspberry's are decent if you want a machine to emulate on that's not your main computer

>obviously go for the model 3
>from my experience I haven't run into any game breaking emulation glitches and everything is butter smooth on the main systems like NES, SNES, and Genesis
>make a case if you like? Would require some creativity and time.
>just fuckin Google where to buy it lol

>>3627178
probably :D

I mean one of the game cases like this.

Don't ever pay more than retail cost for the NES mini. This isn't a meme response or anything, it just isn't worth more than that. Don't fall into the trap of settling for the high prices or you're just enabling the scalpers to keep doing what they're doing.

Every time someone buys from a scalper it just encourages them to keep doing it more. I wish people as a whole understood this.

>>3626671

Couldn't he just take out the actual Genesis ports and replace them with USBs from a hub, and just get two usb-to-Genesis pad adapters? It would keep the controllers intact, and you can just get a broken genesis off ebay to gut the case from.

Under-powered reddit meme device.

>>3627694
this, it's easy

>le input lag maymay
>not realizing retropie doesn't use xwindows so it's actually overpowered, especially considering the original devices had pocket calculator level specs

Stop justifying your collector bullshit, dude.
You like spending too much money, because devices are like pokemons to you. That's fine. Don't meme noobs into overspending for no reason.
Besides, Pi's are useful as educational devices as well, like arduinos.

>>3626873
>input lag that is inherent to the entire device
source? or are you just talking shit...
ive never noticed any lag?

maybe its just you........

>>3626873
>please don't use a device running an OS natively. It has input lag. Instead, use a virtualized OS. It's way better, I promise.

Why not just get an Odroid XU4 and boot up Lakka? It costs twice as much but it's 4 times more powerful.

>>3628017
Then you're wasting the controller sockets, not having much point to using up a console shell, and allowing your raspberry genesis to be less authentic.

It's terrible.

Controller support is shit.

Roms run like shit.

Extremely underpowered.

Just don't do it.

How's the MAME emulation on this thing? I'm talking about games like Metal Slug 3, Salamander 2, KoF, etc.

>>3627694
Very interested in buying one but can you explain the benefits? Can it also emulate n64/ps1 or just everything before that?

>>3628074
>Under-powered reddit meme device.
Desu leddit underraged shills should leave. Or just get a real computer to emulate. A fucking china brand lagdroid phone has more processing power than a rapeberry nowadays.

>>3626880
Even the shitty overpriced Ouya(which basically uses a cellphone processor) has better processing power.

Well I did it, I got the $59 cana kit. Maybe will get the buffalo controller, I have a xbox360 street fighter iv pad that's cool. I have a shit tons of rons, but would like to have some like kid icarus, fuckin Nintendo I guess being hardcore on sites now.

>>3629231
I think I haven't the settings well because I can Play metal slug 1-X percetly without drops and Metal slug 3 can't boot without glitches and Crash
