Tempted to get a Raspberry Pi 3

Learn a couple of basic bash command and ssh. It will make your life oh so much more enlightened.
(And perhaps also easier)

Fair enough Also found this video just now, so I can transfer over network, though for big games, it may take a while. Apologies for my asking questions.

no need for all that wen you can just plug the micro in the pc but ok xD

I suppose I can use the same SD card I burned the Lakka image onto

thats where the roms get copied to after all, unless youre uploading from a phone samba is useless

less you just dont wanna take the sd card out

I was looking at the PSX emulator, games seem to run pretty well, only turnoff is they don't seem to use Gaussian interpolation, but linear and games sound incredibly raspy. I hope all the PSX cores don't sound that raspy X3

Well, after you connect to the Rpi with some ssh client (such as ssh or putty) you could use the most basic ones to move or modify files like: cp, cd, mkdir, mount, mv, etc. Also vi or nano for editing, perhaps you will need sudo some time. Hmmm, there should be a quick bash tutorial for Rpi somewhere.

and why? the main directories are formatted fat and can be read on windows linux and mac and phones

Maybe it's just me, but the sound sounds really raspy and sounds like it uses linear interpolation; PCSX on Windows runs with Gaussian, same with the Android ports, maybe this dude on YT is using an older core, either way, I have
no way to confirm it,.
@Meteor7 can you confirm if the PSX core uses Gaussian or Linear interpolation? A good way to test would be hearing if a game sounds "muffled" or "raspy" like Crash Bandicoot 2/3.

Because why not?
It is always useful, it may help fix things and make things work, and you can do it even from your phone.
Hell, you could copy files from your phone using any scp client easily if you wanted also.
I say, It will make your life oh so much more enlightened.

usually cores can be configured to use different settings just press the xbox button and select core options (or something along that name)

but its only useful if for the phone. but hey you must have a reason so you can it as you please ^-^

upcycled? would you link me?

Upcycling, also known as creative reuse, is the process of transforming by-products, waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value. Upcycling is the opposite of downcycling, which is the other half of the recycling process.

 

[MarioMasta64]

fancy, i often recycle parts out pc's for refurbisment.

Eh, I hope so, linear interpolation may be "faster" in some ways, but is almost never worth the sacrifice as Gaussian is what the real hardware used; hopefully I can use it.

Well, you don't really need a raspberry pi if you already have a computer you can just connect it to a tv and run emulators on that. The only downside is the pcs bigger but it's going to be able to emulate more stuff then a Rasberry pi.

I don't know how to tell, as I've never owned an actual PS1. To me, the games sound just fine, but I'm not very sensitive to sound differences in games. I could try and compare between the Pi, Vita, and PS3, if you know one of those uses the interpolation method you want, but those are my only methods of playing PSX games.

Already have a PC, but it's not the same IMO, and I'm nowhere near an HDTV, I'd have to move my PC downstairs and that'd be a royal pain. Maybe I shouldn't have made this thread then, no? What if I want one despite having a PC?

It is hard to compare, indeed, but I do have a good example from an N64 emulator compared to the Wii U N64 emulator; real N64 uses Gaussian and Wii U uses linear,

Real N64/Project64 (uses Low Level Emulation for audio, more accurate), the same notes at the high end of the instruments sounds muffled/interpolated
https://filetrip.net/view?r6wwd6QDbD

Wii U N64, for some reason, uses Linear interpolation, the wind instrument a few seconds in at the high note sound really raspy
https://filetrip.net/view?K6QoC2uKOa

What PSX should sound like is the top MP3, not bottom one, it should help gauge on accuracy. Why linear is used in the Wii U N64 (and Not64) is anyone's guess, but it's also what PSX sounded like in those YT videos

I can create some more samples using a PSX emu on my PC too

btw youre gonna want a case and a fan as it heats up during intense emulation (so about $7-$10 for a good case and probably a household fan or a $5-$10 one for the rpi specificly)

What about the ones that come with heatsinks? I thought we only needed those if we overclocked? Also I'm looking on the Lakka site and for the emulator ratings, Snes9x Next only has a B, which means a lot of games aren't going to run full speed, This worries me greatly, since Snes9x Next is supposed to be the faster version, isn't it? Super FX, S-DD1, SA-1, this means special chip games are going to run incredibly choppy, ugh. I'm still on the fence, do you recommend a good case?

theyres more on a board than just the cpu yknow the whole board heats up youre gonna need more than heatsinks (computers dont use heatsinks because they have the same problem but seeing as the rpi is an educational project it uses old hardware in everything)

Right, but at the same time, trying to get an SD card, on/off switch power adapter, case, board, it's gonna cost a lot more than I anticipated, even with the gift card credit... *sigh*.
