Very good ? Did you have a look at the framerates and listen to audio ? To me that is very bad. Almost nothing runs faster than 30fps and for many games, 15fps. That's ridiculous especially provided the core options and the lower res. Plus it does heat for such results !
@@chrisw8069 Yep ! OOT is like 20 "fps", but interlaced properly so as to be smooth nevertheless. On a LCD to get similar feel of smoothness, you need more than the A30 is capable of. You need to dig the interlaced stuff and understand how "fps" is not the best metric for CRT screens. Plus many games are natively rendered at a faster speed that the A30 produces. I would qualify N64 on this device as slideshows when you want full 480p resolution.
Seems to run everything there as well as my Anbernic RG351P, which is fine with me. The A30 seems to run Banjo-Kazooie better than the RG351P. I have trouble with some of the racing games too, but I fixed most of those issues by testing with the other 9 variants of emulator/plugin combos to improve performace on particular games, so maybe that can fix issues like those, if there are several choices with emulators/plugins.
Unfortunately there are no other emulator cores or GFX plugins available on the Miyoo a30. That's why I'm impressed that it works as well as it does but also hopeful that it can get much better with updates to add more emulator cores
I'm glad to see some n64 working well. Hate that damn stick though. Bought one just to see if I can cut it and replace it with a taller and modular one.
Very helpful video! F-Zero was at the top of my list so I'm glad to see it works well. Do you know if some of these emulator issues might get updated in the future with patches? I'm new to the scene so I don't know if they continue to update the emulators after release
If we are lucky, a community dev decides to create a custom firmware which occasionally brings updated or new emulators to the device. N64 emulators for Linux based devices like this one haven't been updated in a while but there are other emulators for N64 which could be ported to the device which might help some of the games run better. I believe it is possible for this device to get some custom firmware in the future which will improve N64 emulation a little. Don't expect that it will allow every N64 game to run but it might help some
@@RetroHandheldGuides Seems like the best plan then is to wait and see if it happens, rather than buy now and hope it does. Thank you for letting me know!
The default setup that was provided by Miyoo is unfortunately not optimized. I would recommend installing the RA30 community configuration linked in the description of the Miyoo A30 PSP video for better performance. Using the RA30 build I didn't have any issues with the GBA games I tested
They could hit out of the park with a t618 chip to ensure good fps performance for all retro consoles or at least the ones that really mattered..... I would have bought one myself even tho i own an rp4 pro....
