A Rasperberry Pi gets pretty exspensive once you add on all the necessary modules. Honestly I don't understand how people don't have spare laptops/PC parts laying around at this point that can be repurposed.

The amount of people that post Pis and C.H.I.P.S don't even fucking use them either, I can tell by how they think "OH ITS JUST PLUG N PLAY, OH IT EMULATES JUST FINE".

I hate this board. Both sides of the argument are fucking retarded.
>>
Current Pi is really good, next-gen one should be even better.

There's been a new SOC made that has a much more modern Vulkan capable GPU which is rumored to be going into the Pi 4. Won't be Switch level, but could compare favorably to the 360 and the PS3.
>>
I have this lying around somewhere, what's the best controller for emulation?

The C.H.I.P. is actually 9 dollars plus 8 for HDMI module. Very inexpensive but shipping times are hell. And I agree with you. CHIPs Linux distro is not optimized for decent emulation passed the NES unfortunately.

These devices really are for hobbyist, not for dedicated arcade machines. least it looks cool.

$5 max (if you don't already have one that will work)

$2.50 max
>sd card
$5 but of course you can go higher
>controllers
$10+ or you can use ones you already have
Bluetooth is built in and Linux has support for the Playstation gamepads as well as a bunch of others.
I went with the cheap but excellent Buffalo SNES pads for $10 a pop.

I actually just built one a few weeks ago for $60.

I own a pi I bought for emulation. It works decently but there are a lot of slowdowns and glitches with some games. You have to mess with a lot of configs for emulators and the system itself to have it work at full speed, not to mention buying a proper power supply and heat control. If you want to use the composite output you have to deal with it using a nonstandard jack (I ended up having to use the red composite cable for video). Its pretty neat but I don't think there's anything wrong with buying a "it just werks" snes emulation box if it has what you need. I ended up just turning my pi into a torrent box.

Significantly larger and more expensive, both of which ruin the point of a tiny dirt cheap system centered around a single hardware platform.

Though, Valve's rumored second gen Steam Machines using AMD supplied SOCs may get into the same ballpark on at least some of those.

More expensive than a Pi? Yes of course.
More expensive that building a Windows machine?
No not really. Especially if the rumor about it being based on a custom SOC is true, which all the Valve hires to work on the Linux-only AMD driver wouldn't make any sense if they weren't.
Think the Steam Link, but a bit more expensive, x86 based, and capable of playing recent games. Think Nintendo Switch style Vulkan hardware in a tiny little box.

A Pi based system is about the size of a deck of cards and a complete setup with one can be built for less than $100.

A mini itx build even with the dirt cheap discontinued socket AM1 or FM2 parts are going to wind up at least twice as expensive before you get into controllers and with that you probably will need to buy a bluetooth module and wifi adapter.

There's only a few mini ITX socket AM4 boards so far, they're all fairly expensive and the Ryzen SOC parts aren't out yet.

Quick check of the relevant websites.

I didn't get a chance to reply to you or the guy who posted the 300 gigs DS set yesterday, but you should know that anything on a torrent site is likely outdated and fullsets are useless, full of [b] duplicates. their only use is data archival.

scan your roms against no-intro dats. use redump for isos.

21 games, one of which never got officially released, 5 of which don't work on any flashcart. In Australia, this thing costs $120, which is what Street Fighter II Turbo used to cost us in the 90's, and that was a PAL version at 50Hz.
In my mind I can justify the cost. And i'm 99% sure this thing will get hacked, so I can put any snes game worth a damn on it

I don't understand how you can make the argument that it costs extra and then go on and say how people don't have spare laptops.

A RasPi doesn't need a case to run. The 3 has WiFi and bluetooth built in. All you need is a damn cell phone charger and a microSD card. Everyone has a HDMI cable.

That laptop needs to have HDMI out. A PC does too and it would still be a waste to run just for SNES emulation.
>>
>>385373798
Would you rather pay a premium of 80 bucks + taxes for 20 SNES/NES games that aren't all good; or would you rather spend 80-200 dollars on a Pi/components and be able to emulator EVERY SINGLE GAME from NES-PS1/etc.

Who cares how expensive a Pi MIGHT be when it can do literally everything a NES/SNES mini does but better in every way AND with every game in the library instead of just 20 (of which not all 20 are good)?

What delusional scum sucking retard does it take to buy a mini console?

Why bother buying any of these micro pcs or other dedicated emulation devices when a desktop PC can emulate everything?

but here in mexico the raspis are stupid expensive, hell the cheapest a Raspi zero W ($5) goes in mexico is 650 peso, over 6 times what it actually costs!

not to mention that for those projects you need custom parts that:
-are expensive as hell
-are home made, so failures can happen
-are limited, so if you missed the batches, you will never make one!

and here you are complaining that its not worth it.

The Pi is okay.
anyone saying it's hard has no idea how to flash an SD card with a pre-configured image and copy over fullsets, it's like zero effort
the issue is that it's slow as shit -- a Pi 2 can't run Genesis Plus GX full speed on Genesis games (you're stuck with Picodrive, which works, but is definitely less accurate, especially regarding sound), at least not without that awful threaded video setting, which drives input lag through the roof to the point where anyone can notice it

Pi 2 is rather outdated now. I'd have to check but I don't get any slowdowns in Genesis games with my Pi 3 but I'm not sure which core its using for it.
Pi 4 should be really awesome especially if the general trend towards emulators adopting Vulkan continues.

I want it for my living room and I haven't owned a laptop for 8 years. I made a retropie box with 2 snes controllers because I want to play it with my friends because I'm not a complete fucking sperg and I use it as a kodi box too.

mate, the pi 4 is expected to come out sometime in 2019

and I've been meaning to get a Pi 3, but I can't be arsed to spend $35 on something that's going to sit there doing nothing with slightly more power than the box I already have does
it's not even like I don't know that it has its advantages, because I have a buddy of mine who uses his Pi 3 to play PS1 games (haven't even made the attempt on my Pi 2)

>>385384059
the Pi mildly sucks with Kodi, at least if you're using a keyboard with it -- there's a stupid bug in Kodi that prevents it from treating a physical keyboard as an actual thing for typing into input boxes (it'll just always do shortcut commands) if you don't fuck around with some permissions on like /dev/tty0 or something

also

[b]s usually run fine but they're missing data. which is why nointro exists in the first place.

they keep [b] dumps in their dats until they can secure a good one. which is why even the latest DS one has something like 100 [b]s.

the Club Penguin one for example, it's a bad dump that was kept in the dat because no good one existed until recently.

Oh okay thank you for clearing this up. I'm not really trying to go for perfection with my set since it's for personal use. Should I expect any issues with full playthroughs of games since this is a [b] dump?


>>385384990
Yes it has a mini HDMI output. if you buy one KEEP THE COVER FOR IT ON WHEN NOT USING IT. Or use tape. The retards put the HDMI output right next to the charging port and it's possible to accidentally jam your charging cable into the mini HDMI and fry your system.

There are kits that have everything you need from psu to sd to hdmi cable that are $80.

Considering literally anyone who would consider using it for emulation are bound to have some sort of PC controller in the form of a logitech,PlayStation, or Xbox controller lying around. Even things that use bluetooth can be connected wirelessly.

And that's if you somehow fucking manage to not have a single SD, HDMI cable, or phone charger to power the fucking thing. I bought my RPi3 with case for much cheaper than $80 and It has far more functionality than the fucking S/NES Classic.

If you buy one I heavily suggest you check out the Subreddit for it. They have a powershell script that permanently kills Windows 10 settings that will boost performance and reduce heat. They also have several other guides and such for getting the most out of it. The thing comes with a stock version of Windows 10 so its heavily suggested you check those out.

After stripping Windows 10 down you get about
>8-12 hours if internet browsing
>8 hours of emulation
>4-6 hours of gameplay for older games like Pyschonauts
>3-4 hours for games like Arkham Asylum
This isn't all at once of course

Make sure the hdmi adapter you get for the thing is flat. A lot of adapters will be blocked by the screen hinge on the back.

The device requires a lot of tinkering but if you have just a little bit of patience it is exactly as useful as it seems to be.

Issue is price and the initial setup to optimize them is a fucking hassle. That and most people think it's not capable of running anything. A fair warning most of your games will be on low settings if you plan on playing PC games, but if you have the device and game at an appropiate resolution it'll just looking youre playing a Vita game.

More tips
>DO NOT USE THE GUIDE THAT COMES WITH IT TO OPTIMIZE IT
This guide is out of date and uses Chinese drivers and shit, again use /r/gpdwin
>Theres a fan switch on the back
Always set it to max of course when playing games, make sure the fan switch is off when the device is off. Sometimes if the switch is left
on the battery can drain despite being powered off. This can lead to early battery deaths and bloating.
>Set custom resolution to 800x554 or 9xx/xxx
I know this sounds retarded but it makes the games look native to the screen and gives a huge FPS boost. Some games you have to run at at 1600x900 though because of text but otherwise this resolution hides jaggies from lack of antialiasing and makes textures set to low look pretty decent

I personally bought a super famicom as its cheaper and with either an adaptor or just unscrewing the cartridge you can play american games on it.
USA and JAP use the same region lock, their cartridge shell is just shaped different. Same pcb and all.

Seriously, snes is overpriced. Same with nes consoels but the games are fine.

PVM's are for autists and they make low resolution graphics look worse than consumer CRT's, because they're too sharp. You might as well just use a modern LCD if you want the individual pixels to be that clear.
