I would recommend the RPi3, I got one over the holidays and it works fine. The plugs on it seem quite sturdy, and board too ( I dropped it when I was unwrapping it:( but it is fine.^_^). I didn't get a case with mine, so I made a nice one for around $5, it's not to hard.

I have not had time to try out emulating on it yet (to much family and turkey). But I will recommend using Berryboot to set up your Pi, just format a SDcard to FAT32 and extract the files, the rest of the set up is done on the Pi. Pretty strait forward I think. Also a warning "DON'T touch the Pi when its on you can get shocked!".

lakka doesnt work with berryboot, also it often has problems because of the old linux kernel thats used with berryboot

Like I said "I have not had time to try out emulating on it yet (to much family and turkey)." I'm just saying what's working for me (from one noob to another).

indeed, it also depends on what you want, he just wants emulation so lakka will suffice, for a programmer raspbian, for a hacker kali, for a end-user berryboot. i wouldnt recommend berryboot for anyone unless youre testing an os because of the outdated kernel and conflicts it causes. also security issues

It doesn't support WiFi? That's gonna be a pain as I use nothing but that where I live :unsure: Because once I set it up, I'll have no way to upload ROMs to the SD card.
it does. where did you read it doesnt? i connect it to wifi all the time.

On the official guide here http://www.lakka.tv/get/linux/rpi/install/first-boot/games/ How do I upload the ROMs from my PC to the device, I just use a flash ROM and let them transfer over like when one uses RetroPie? I'm reading the Lakka Wiki and I'm already getting second thoughts.

must be out of date, as I mentioned before WiFi was really east to setup on lakka even using the controller, usually you need to get a keyboard plugged in
Then maybe they should update their guide XD Okay good.

actually you press up any controller and use up/down to scroll through letters and start to confirm. (as i dont have a keyboard for it) for the wifi settings.
also you can just plug in a usbflash drive or harddrive with your roms.

I just dropped a bunch in the samba share, chose the "scan folder" option from the main screen and it automatically sorted them into the appropriate sections......couldn't really be much easier

But what if I want them copied from a flash drive to the internal micro SD card so I don't have to use a USB drive? Surely there's a way to do that in Lakka :P

And where does that folder go? I'd rather have them installed on the device as my WiFi isn't 100% perfect.

you can hook the microsd to the pc and copy your roms to the roms folder, just that easy

    @K3Nv2 what was your ps4 situation

    did you always have a ps4 you never updated

    You got a good chance of buying a used one and asking the seller how often they used or even ask for a Pic of fw and telling them not to update

    Speaking of PLaystation. I see Evilnat put out a beta for PS3 CFW 4.91.2 on the 22nd.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Don't really see the point in updating it tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right, I thought about updating my PS3 CFW to 4.91, but why really, everything plays fine now. I guess for people that have already updated past 4.9 it would be helpful.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Idk if online servers are still active that would be my only thought

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Thats true, personally I don't play it online at all, in fact, I deleted all wifi details on it once I installed CFW, so it won't connect and auto-update itself
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I play most games that are on both PS3/360 strickly on the 360, but PS3 exclusives are really only games I play on the PS3 (You know me, I'm more of a Xbox junkie)
