any of you fuckers have luck with getting 240p output on a raspi 4? i heard the 2 and 3 were somewhat better at doing it. askin for a friend as all

Raspberry Pi 1-3 all used the same GPU. They've had since 2012 to work on it. From what I've seen on 4, doing anything less than 1080p is counterproductive. The driver just isn't there yet. They have been able to do other cool things with this new GPU like getting Vulkan support. tldr don't waste your time with it

Have you tried this?

yeah i'm actually using retropie right now via composite but i have no idea if its actually running in 240p or not. this'll take me a bit

[Anonymous No.7122836]

well i seem to have solved my problem, using composite on the raspi4 throws the system into a very very underclocked state, kinda like the original one. i'm able to use retropie but not much luck with lakka and everyone just recommends RGB. nobody has any real answers

why would you not use RGB or VGA? If you're doing 240p, a rpi3 can emulate up to ps1 without issue at that res.

just use a softmoded wii
crisp pixel perfect 240p output for every 8-bit & 16-bit console ever made

>why would you not use RGB or VGA?
i didn't want to fucking buy anything that's why, i guess i'll look into getting something that scales the HDMI signal

my wii died

If you get real scanlines then its 240p

>using rpi for emulation

gross

Calm down and get a job, then it won't be a big deal.

Raspberry Pi 1 has a RCA composite output... Maybe use that.

shut up you dopey cunt

>>7123508
i've set the thing up. it's great, you just have to fuck with the config and retropie takes care of the rest. quite a lovely image

They all have composite output. They moved to a mini connector like the ones camcorders used. You can even do VGA using the Gert VGA 666 mod.

>>7123420
you can't just set the video mode for the RPi to 240p and expect it to "just werk", you have to configure every emulator individually and some don't even support 240p...

also RPi composite signals are shit, instead of focusing on the obvious line doubling due to scaling issues in that pic look at the noise in what should be black space

you're deadset on getting an argument started aren't you? if you want to get into it i'm pretty sure i'll win. a lot of people weren't expecting so much internal changes and trying to use a function that was present in every model before isn't as ridiculous as you think it is. i'm not some crazy rgb fanatic and it was never a big deal to me. next please

just get a raspberry pi 3 and use it over composite oh and stop being autistic

My Pi3 looks amazing on a PVM with the scart-rgb out board.
I hope they fix the Pi4 thing soon, I just can't get the Midway arcade games to run smooth on the Pi3.
