Tempted to get a Raspberry Pi 3

[gamesquest1]

or if you just wanted to get one to give it a go, the raspberry pi zero is dirt cheap and sure it certainly wont be doing the N64/PSX side of things, its still pretty good for GBA/SNES/NES/MD/Master system/GB/GBC

all that squashed inside the back of a snes pad is pretty awesome for grabbing and taking to a friends house with no extra wires etc

Yeah, again, all the wrong reasons, the Wii U already plays so many emulators full speed and without any audio issues whatsoever, that alone should make me want to wait and have hope to see PPC cores written for PPSSPP, PCSX, NullDC, DeSmuME and so on, the console certainly has a lot of power in and of itself, more than the RP3 does for emulation. I wanted to apologize once more for my anxiety, and for being negative, I need to lose weight and exercise, like, a lot.

alright.

i bought 2 last week for £4 + £2 shipping, making my battery powered snes pad emulation system, works pretty good so far, my test build was on a old Pi zero that had the hdmi out screwed up so it needs a audio output setup....but it runs for a few hours on a NDS battery

but yeah probs more for a tinkerer the pi zero XD

I was looking at the Lakka Wiki and saw the different ratings for emulators, and noted that Snes9x Next is "B" meaning many games will have speed issues, i.e games with special chips, I find that a bit of a turnoff, to be honest. IDK what I'll do, maybe I'll get some Miyazaki DVDs to watch some anime, IDK yet.

if youre looking for accuracy use a pc, and ive has no problems with snes emulation in my opinion

Snes9x 1.53 mainline version runs perfectly on the Wii U, little to no config, problem I have on Snes9x PC is that the 60 fps seems to "skip" a lot, unless I'm in full screen. I'll wait out more emulators for Wii U, as I stated my reasons above why I don't like 16-bit emulators on PC monitors unless it has the right filters. PSX, PS2, DC, N64 I don't mind. As long as Snes9x has Blargg's S-SMP, nothing else matters to me with Snes, I can't stand when sound isn't cycle accurate.

then use youre wii u?

 

[the_randomizer]

then use youre wii u?

I'm not trying to over-complicate things:

For older consoles up to Snes, CPS1-3, MAME, etc, Wii U is perfect. For PSX, PS2, N64, PC is ideal, so I can stick to that. Ugh, my head.

seems to be in stock here for $5
http://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-zero.html

basically official distributers have to sell them for $5, avoid reseller/scalpers who buy them up and resell them at a higher price

You know, a wireless Xbox 360 pad sounds pretty handy (currently wired), though I wonder how reliable they are on Windows 7 with emulators, Steam games, etc, I would hope it'd work fine

xbox controllers are compatable with windows out of the box (as the xbox 360 runs a stripped down version of windows 7 and the xbox one a stripped down version of windows 10)
