No.

Just in your fucked up head maybe.

>>5276901

>>5276901
Have you ever heard of Super Mario World? If not you should definitely try it.

Well done senpai!
Make sure you get the best case for it as well! (pic related)
Just in case this isn't a troll thread, I have one too for the exact purpose and it performed well enough but something was lacking, a soft modded Wii is a better investment (if you don't care for PSX emulation)

>>5276926
I'm really not trolling. I'm legitimately excited about this because the snes mini is not available in my country and I want to relive my childhood.

>>5277009
I got a us snes styled case on the way but I care not for those aftermarket controllers. Heard they were garbage. Plan on using my switch pro controller.

I would mod a snes mini or wii but sadly no luck finding those things here.

>>5276901
MAME

>>5277026
Where are you from?
I see a lot of them around here for sale but for some reason they spiked up in price lately, people selling them for 100€ or more.

Fair enough regarding the aftermarket controllers tho, I heard some are actually good, forgot which brand exactly.

I would get a mini purely for the controllers but after more careful consideration I'm gonna buy instead the adapter for the original snes controllers so I can plug them in the GameCube port.

The reason I actually got a Wii is so I can hook it up to my CRT using component, the pi only offers composite and the mini is only HDMI.

>>5277060
Albania. Raspberry pies are cheap on a lie press, comparable to amazing prices so no loss there. If I can find a mini, I'll definitely get one but I'm not counting on it. Are those controllers USB?

>>5277084
Aliexpress*

>>5277084
I just made a quick Google search.
Buffalo snes controllers are usb and well built.
8bitdo snes controllers are wireless and come with joysticks.

I haven't personally used them but I've heard good things about them.

Look them up yourself and see if you like them or not.

>>5277098
I'll check them out. The 8bitdo were the ones I heard were garbage but I have never heard of Buffalo

>>5277117
Really? I heard they are decent, compared to the rest anyway, I'd never expect them to match the originals.

>>5276901

Cool story. I hope you overpaid like every other fucktard who's posted the same shit here. And there have been many.

This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games. This board is not for every dumb kid who just got a memebeery because youtube to blog about it.

>>5277241
Funny you're the only one here not talking about games. Go burn your wad of panties somewhere else

>>5277279
>wahhh reading comprehension wahh
Top kek kid

>>5276901
What are you using to post? There, you already have an emulation station. A 20-year old computer would work too.

>>5277954
My phone and yeah I could use my computer but I want something to use in my living room, with my TV. I heard Nvidia shields are good but again, no access unfortunately

>>5277241
>/vr/ IS MY SECRET CLUB, WAHHHH

>but for some reason they spiked up in price lately
Nintendo stopped making them.

>>5278019
That'd still be your phone

>>5278030
Yup. The rules make this a "secret club". You will immediately cease and not continue to access the site.

>>5278052
I'm not using my phone as an emulation station in my living room. I want a console and controller hooked to my TV.

And no one cares about le secret club

The only thing I can't really emulate is a N64, which is the only console I need.

>>5278080
Sucks you can't use your phone as an emulation station in moms living room. Maybe your sisters phone can be your emulation station tonight.
>/reddit
>wahhh
Suck you're a buttblasted underage

>>5278118
You're right

>>5276901
I have few folders on every system:

-Games I had
-Games I played
-Games not tried

I keep multiplayer games in another folder for quick access in case Im gonna take my Retropie + projector and visit someone

Both my Wii and my CRT died at the same time.
At this rate, I'll just use my laptop connected to my HDTV as my go-to emulation station.

>>5278147
Is gaming in a projector worth it?

>>5276901
Pre N64... oh you sweet summer child.

>>5278197
I would love to emulate the n64 but I doubt raspberry + retro pie can handle it.

>>5278147
>Retropie + projector
cringe

>>5278089
Better buy an actual N64 with a flashcart then bud.

>>5278147
Don't forget your bluetooth controllers and capture card.

Got a setup, Pi3B with a DS3 controller hooked to TV.

Experience is fucking great, nostalgia overload, playing all my favourite PS1 games.
But the fucking SD card keeps getting corrupted every fucking week or so. It's so fucking tiresome to keep formating it, flashing it and setting it up all over again.

>>5276901
Just use it for Dreampi

>>5278202
With over clocking it can handle _some_ games to a playable state, but don't expect miracles. Wait for the RPi4 for that

>>5278187
I'd say yes, because its more practical for me to transport projector with stand, rather than hunch over 10inch screen. Of course making sure that we've got some space on wall to display, but I've seen them working well even on uneven surface. Im satisfied, and there is no lag. (For interested: It's VANKYO Leisure 510. Im happy with results)

I don't carry screen though. That would be too much, since I travel by train/buses. Carrying backpack, suitcase and huge screen while drunk and tired is just not worth it.

>>5276901
What's the best emulation controller for a pie?

>>5279751
the ibuffalo or one of the 8bitdos

>>5277928
This doesn't even make sense. Maybe you should just drop your modem into the toilet with the rest of your sorry excuse for thoughts

>>5278118
Or maybe they're late to the party. Some people where off doing things instead of staring wastefully at the internet for thirty years.

I've really been enjoying Monstania.
I've never heard anyone talk about it and I went in thinking it would be bad, but it's really a comfy rpg with some unique mechanics.

>>5276901

How fast does it take to boot the system and load into a game on these things?

>>5281509
Usually takes 35-40 seconds. Slow as shit.

>>5276901
I was messing around my old stuff in my parent's house and I found my old Raspberry Pi 1 B+ model, I wonder if it runs anything at decent speeds.

>>5281541
there's always a downside

>>5281613
yes, but >>5281541 is lying. the pi3 is faster than that

>>5281613
Just leave it turned on. I don’t see why you’d ever turn the thing off, it’s designed for 24/7 runtime. The bootspeed is largely dependent on how fast your SD card is

>>5281575
NES, game boy and gameboy colour, game gar and master system, classic atari family, classic arcade stuffs, mega drive/genesis too, iirc.
SNES isn't great
TG16/PC Engine works well, from what i hear, but i've never tried it.

>>5280426
>This doesn't even make sense to someone who can't into readingcompensation
Well there's yer problem

>>5281509
It's honestly not that bad. And like the other anon said, just leave it on.

>>5281509
Its about 1minute with RP0, and 10seconds with RP3b+ . Loading game takes 5seconds. Never thought of it as problem, feels fine.

So can I play majoras mask on my rasberrypi 3 b plus?

>>5278342
What the hell is dreampi

>>5278428
>wait for rpi4
lol you'll be waiting a long time. the 4 will have to be a complete redesign that breaks a lot of the old projects so they've been putting it off for years.

>>5282908
maybe if you turn frameskip up, but n64 is pretty awful on pi, you're better off with a shield

>>5282908
N64 on the Pi is terrible and anyone who says otherwise is an idiot with low standards or a liar.

Some of the more popular games are fully playable but all are extremely inaccurate and have performance issues. A significant chunk of the library doesn't run at all, or has game-breaking issues. Several require significant tweaking on a game-by-game basis. Even the best-running games will have noticeable framerate issues or stutter (far beyond what they should have) along with occasional sound and graphical glitches.

Do not trust anyone who tells you to buy a Pi for N64. It's the easiest way to tell that they haven't actually tested shit and don't know what they're talking about.

Almost every older system is fine.

>>5282956
>thanks for the update, kid who pulls shit out of his ass

>>5283001
>>5283023
Well unfortunately a shield isn't an option. What about a wii?

>>5283148
wii runs supported n64 games fine and you can play unsupported ones using injection, although the compatibility varies greatly
same with wii u, probably same with switch
for ones that aren't compatible you can try retroarch, it has ports for every console or handheld that has been hacked and is powerful enough to run it, although i have no idea how n64 performance is through retroarch on those devices
if you have an actual n64 you could just buy an everdrive v2 for it, that's a little over $100

>>5283095
rpi is using an ancient broadcom-SoC, and any meaningful improvement can only be done by switching to a completely different SoC, thus breaking direct backwards-compatibility.

>>5281969
I'm sorry buddy, but I really better then you write apparently, and you're just a whimpering loser right now. Go jerk off or something you baby

>>5283095
Thanks for proving you haven't read any of the articles the Pi foundation has put out. Google is your friend, dumbass.
>>5284335
Exactly. They've been pretty open about this. They haven't decided how they want to handle the next iteration, or when they'll release it.

I bought a Pi (3 B+) recently, first time owning any Pi, intending to use it as an emulation box.
So far, it's pretty good. It seems that I really have to crank down the resolution on most emulators to avoid slowdown. N64 flat out isn't playable, but never expected it to be. Also kind of sad that MAME isn't particularly great on it either. I'm still tweaking it for accuracy, decided to overclock it late last night and gonna mess around with it today.

Is this a good case?

>>5285381
has a pretty good reveiw

>>5285307
Isn't the B+ supposed to be an upgrade? My Pi3 version B has no framerate issues at all, even when emulating PSX games. And MAME works perfectly fine.
And mine isn't overclocked.

>>5285873
>when emulating PSX games

Really? its really hit or miss, I guess you never miss huh?

Get lakka.tv rather than Retropie.

>>5283095
Anyone whos following the project (or at least just the release of the 3 knows that the 4 is expected to start from scratch. Also:

>calling someone out for making things up
>is making things up
you are the definition of a hypocrite, I know this is an anonymous imageboard but please try for all our sakes

>>5285381
I had one and it was fine but not great. The Kintaro Super Kuma 9000 has a stupid name but it's a much better case for less money. It has much better ventilation, comes with a huge heat sink, looks and feels much more like a real SNES (even has a power LED), and has functional reset and on/off switches, which are a huge plus IMO. That's what I'd suggest for anyone who wants a SNES case.

>>5283095
>ignorant, arrogant, rude, and (worst of all) wrong

>>5276901
Fuck them. Get rom hacks and homebrews

Princess Rescue
Crazy Balloon
Get 'em Gary
Mega Man Reloaded
Castlevania 2 Retranslated

oh, and Wild Guns for the SNES, which isn't a hack or homebrew, just a kick ass game.

>>5277009
>not the megadrive one
pleb as fuck

>>5277117
I have a buffalo. They're pretty good. I sure as fuck prefer it over an OG NES controller or my old warn down OG SNES controllers

>>5281509
Faster than a modern fucking consoles load times that's for damn sure

>>5286078
I'll try the Buffalo controllers then. Can't hurt I guess.
>>5286076
Always wanted to try some of that but I don't want any of that nonsense like the Halloween eastbound hack

>>5278329
your sdcard is defective, change it
I had the same problem for the pi hooked to the router as a seed box, solved putting the system on read-only, works as a charm now, is not straightforward though, I don't suggest doing this if you are not customized to linux

>>5285890
which are some psx games with issues on rpi3b?
>>5285904
why?

>>5287282
>>5285904
What the hell is lakka.tv

>>5287331
>>5287282
It's a just-enough OS with RetroArch on it, same purpose as Retropie but better means. Endorsed by the parent project, up-to-date RA and cores, good support, I just enjoy it more than the Frankenstein's OS that is Retropie.

>>5287282
There’s just one game with a minor issue if you use the bin cue format. PCSXR has really excellent compatibility and people are just being buttheads

Can anyone here tell me why anyone would get a RetroPie when you can get an Nvidia Shield TV for just slightly more money, run RetroArch on Android, and get perfect emulation for Gen6 and even some Gen7 consoles on it as well?

Is it all just because Rasberry Pis are cheaper?

>>5288570
I'm really asking here. Nvidia Shield TVs run on Android, so if it's all the same it seems more logical to skip the Pi and just emulate everything in one place.

>>5285307
newpifag reporting back. Plugged it into a CRT TV and playing ROMs in 16:10 is absolutely based.

My understanding was that an Nvidia Shield TV can emulate everything the RetroPi can along with N64, Wii, and PSX all excellently.
What's the downside here compared to RetroPie?

Anyone?

>>5288587
Nvidia shield doesn't do composite video. That's the main reason why I got the pi, all the while, it's cheaper and I just wanted to do a 8/16/32 bit project.

>>5288601
Aha so if you want lower resolutions for authenticity or want to stick to 8, 16, or 32 bit, then the RetroPie is better. Thanks for answering.

>>5288570
It's a meme product. I emulate using a Steambox I installed Windows on. People insist the only reason I'm not a Pitard is because I'm not smart enough or whatever when the real reason is it cant do Gamecube.

>>5288609
Oh well I didn't realize that product even existed. There's another example then. I'm reading about it now and I'm leaning more towards getting the Nvidia Shield but I can see why someone would get the Steam Link as well.

>>5288609
I get what you're saying but why do you consider it a meme product? It's perfectly fine for nostalgia sake and works great for what it is.

>>5281927
Rondo of Blood plays great on my 3B.

What's the verdict on the Flirc case? It's passively cooled but gets rave reviews from what I've seen. Is it suitable for overclocking?

>>5291861
Have this, works wonders. My small thermal icon never shows up anymore and that's with me over clocking it.

>>5291883
Thanks, bud.

>>5291861
Its good. I'm using it on a pi 3b+ over clocked to 1.5ghz CPU and 550gpu, no problems.

>>5276901
Best non-analog retro controller, PERIOD. Plug and play with Windows and Linux. Has some issues with Apple. They're on sale for $13 right now.

>>5292175
if it has issues with Macs then it must be non-standard.

>>5292176
I read someone's post that they had trouble with the Dpad registering on their mac. It might have been an isolated issue. I have apple system to verify it on. It's still a great controller.

>>5292175
Nice. Didn't know switch controllers worked on Windows & Linux. They seem nice but why are they way cheaper than PS4 and Xbox controllers?

Any downsides to this controller?

>>5277084
>>5277095


Best Freudian-slip I've seen in a while.

>>5288570
>you can get an Nvidia Shield TV for just slightly more money
That's just a lie. A Pi is dirt cheap. The shield isn't going to break the bank but it costs several times more than a pi.
People also buy the pi for the extensive modding, hacking, and educational communities, something the shield doesnt have.
It's a cheap toy with tons of community support. This isn't hard.

>>5292346
Clicky buttons

>>5291861
>>5291883
>>5291996
Is there any reason to overclocking the rasberry if I'm only using it for emulation?

>>5292678
Hahahahaha it actually was my phone auto correcting but I guess that works too

>>5292845
Not sure, but I intend to find out. However, keeping your pi cool is important for emulation because it downclocks the cpu when you see the temperature warning pop up.

>>5292317
They were $25-$40, but they suddenly dropped in price last month. Don't question the deal! I bought 4 of em because they were so cheap.

>>5292845
I've been fucking around with overclock and N64 roms. Before overclock, N64 played like absolute ass, but a bunch of N64 games are now at least playable at full speed, if you can handle some audio/graphical glitches. It's no replacement for a real N64 though. Still, impressive that the Pi can handle decent enough emulation for N64.

>>5293256

where anon? the cheapest I can find is 15 us.

>>5292716
Nothing wrong with a Pi (IMHO), but I like an "all-out" solution when I emulatge, even though I am a /vr/eteran. RPies serve their purpose.

>>5292845
Yes, you can use max_swapchain 2 and frame_delay of 4 on a lot of consoles to now lower input latency to a respectable degree and still hit fullspeed emulation. It also helps when using shaders on top of that.

>>5293540
What do you mean by an "'all-out' solution"?

>>5293524
N64 is hit or miss, the best way to get any sort of N64 working on the pi is to overclock and look up which roms work with mupen64's various gfx plugins. I managed to finally beat Ocarina of Time on my pi3b+ and it only really lagged at the end of the game where you have to escape ganon's castle with zelda in tow.

>>5276901
Be sure to update to the latest version of RetroArch available for it, you can use run-ahead safely in NES, Genesis and SNES with the proper cores (FCEumm, Genesis Plus GX and Snes 9X 2005), should help you considerably in reducing input lag.

>>5293617
Probably a single device that can be used to emulate everything would be my guess. I have an old Macbook Pro from 2012 that I run everything off of. I't not an ideal emulation device due to the most supported emulators being for Windows OS, but it serves it's purpose for everything below 6th gen, plus DS and PSP. I'm currently playing Medievil, but I've also been really into ZX Spectrum games lately. I just beat "Abu Sinver Propagation", but 3D Starstrike II has been kicking my ass.

>>5276901
It's nice, but I can't get PS1 to work properly. Shitty audio on everything.

I got it to play with family in the living room and to introduce my nieces to old games.

>>5293536
Amazon and GameStop. The price varies with the color.
