The Raspberry Pi 4 Is A Gaming Beast 

That's because it is (Wait what?)

@@Matanumi Yes, I do know you actually can turn a Pi into a router. =)

My friend uses her pi as a router, tbh I’m pretty sure that’s why the case has all ports in the back. Gaming specific cases will usually have 1-2 ports up front

Not without an excessive amount of antenna lol

Or a kickstarter console. Except you get more legitimate gaming out of a Raspberry Pi 4 than most kickstarter consoles. lolcolecochameleon

Beautiful. Just beatiful.

It would be even better if it adapted at least one of the HDMI ports to a full-size one for convenience. I wonder why they didn't think of that.

Wii and PS3 aren't really comparable. 😅

@@Balthazar2242 still

I'm not sure but I think I saw an NUC 11 emulate a ps3 , and im sure it was able to emulate a wii

Doesn't it already have much betyer rsm that that generation? If they did a version with gpu like the jetson nano it would be possible

Happened with the previous tear down as well but fsr no one (at least I saw no top comments mentioning it) talked about it.

Dude buy a odroid xu4 its way better and still runs retropie. eBay has fully loaded systems.

@@DaVidKid1877 Yeah, but not everyone has the money for an Odroid vs a Raspberry Pi 4

It is only 15 dollars more, and well worth the extra 15 bucks.

@@DaVidKid1877 thanks for the suggestion! I'll check it out! This would be my first micro computer(?) So I'll have to check out other options! Especially if it's not much difference moneywise

My raspberry pi 4 model b just arrived the morning this video came out. I am still waiting on an SD card for retropie but here's a tip for rpi3 and maybe 4: If you have choppy video go to raspi-config/advanced options/resolution and manually choose one of the options in there. CEA mode 3 or 4 always works best for me.

I just dusted off my N64 and tried playing Jet Force Gemini on a 55" HD tv. The resolution said no.

PS1 had music, the N64 had what snippets of songs and not even the full library.

@@Loundsify I actually don't remember, haven't played it on N64 since I was a kid

@@Loundsify super compressed snippets, at that It was bad

Same with a lot of multi-platform games, like THPS. N64 was just a nasty bowl of soggy textures. The only great titles it had were exclusives, two handfuls at best then a bunch of wrestling games :/

They use under 10 watts, and are fully capable of being used as a desktop, although web browsing is a little painful but only because web browsers are so bloated. I'd recommend a FLIRC case - the entire case is the heat sink. It's impossible to over-heat them. I'd also recommend at least 2GB, but you can get by with 1GB. I did ffmpeg transcoding of bunch of 720p files on my pi just to test it, the case got toasty, but you could handle it. I think 54C was max. You need more than 1GB to transcode files over 720p, probably 4. You really don't want to do transcoding on a PI, but it's interesting it can do it.

Very powerful retroconsole 👏

Upon finally getting my hands on this POS I have to change my mind it absolutely SUCKS the emulation is still complete trash on the PI , I get better emulation on my 2015 fire 7 tablet that I paid $20 for 7 years ago and that has a screen and battery ( also comes with a housing and a power supply/charger too) even N64 SUCKS on the pi4 and the fire 7 kicks its ass maybe next time Eben this board is still just as useless as the first one.

@@andreamitchell4758 How much ram did you get? I imagine 1gb wouldn't be that great for emulating, 2gb could handle it better overclocked (like the vid mentioned) but I think 4gb would be ideal

@@711_skiddlz I got 2GB I just recently got the official power supply which has definitely helped things I think but I need to do more testing , but before I was using a power supply that was up to spec , Huawei nexus 6p charger that uses a C to C cable it seemed to work , no complaints about low power but a lot of the time the wifi was not working and on some boots there would be no sound now that I have the official power supply so far the wifi has been working but I need to do more reboots, now that I have the official power supply I will try overclocking to see if I get better n64 performance

I'm just waiting for it to be able to run 3DO, Sega Dreamcast, and Atari Jaguar.

Wolfanoz 64gb image to be exact

Why is the audio skipping like crazy on the N64 games? Seems to be playing fine but the audio was fuzzed up. Is there certain core I need to use for them?

He's the go to dude when it comes to emulation devices

@@5.0truck One of them.

Yeah disappointed that n64 emulation is so crummy -- Dreamcast is a more advanced system! Many n64 games are just unplayable on my Pi 3B+ and I've just started exploring options to optimize by tweaking settings, overclocking, etc. I haven't exhausted options with the 3B+ yet, but after seeing only limited gains so far, I had considered upgrading to a 4 -- this is telling me to hold off.

The reason why the N64 versions are poor (ie requiring brute force power to emulate) is because the N64 hardware itself was poorly designed (a sign of stressed product rushed to market), most emulators particularly with protected IPs are reverse engineered and N64 has been notoriously complicated to figure out.

Check out the gpd win max it can play ps2 portable but the price is on the high side

Even ps2 emulation on a PC is not stable. There's lots of games that haven't been able to be emulated to its fullest. For example Hot Shots Golf Fore. Your expectations are very far away with the pi4. Like others mentioned look for a GPD Win Max, or an used laptop.

It's called a Playstation Vita. It can emulate PS2. There's videos on RU-vid on how to jailbreak it and install emulators on it

@@gustavosoto4607 that's not a "portable" solution. Honestly though, snapdragon is powerful a lot or maybe amd cpu but only as a console, no keyboard...

Gustavo Soto Peralta why is ps2 emulation such a difficult thing even on PC? I knew the PS3 is hard af to emulate but I didn’t know the ps2 had the same problem is it because of the unique internal architecture in comparison to other systems?

He turned a broken DS into gba imma try that

Watch RU-vid with the pi

Hey dude. I’m brand new to trying to acquire roms to transfer to an emulator. I figured my best bet was to surf the comments and ask around, considering I’ve had trouble getting straight forward info on where to get them. A little point in the right direction would be much appreciated..cheers.

@@ryangiesbers I imagine searching "n64 roms" or "ps1 roms" would yield some results but coolroms is where I got roms in the past I just don't know if it's been shut down since

nice ;-)

Darth spawn the powerful

You already have a computer depending on what phone you have I have the note 9 I can play anything from nes to ps2 on my phone I can play God of war at 2k resolution with no lag I can play 3ds roms as well I can play any gamecube and wii games

Preston Gower it’s not exactly ideal though on a phone

@@Bruh-vr4ew yeah I found playing anything on a phone to just be bad. That's just my personal experience though.

@@luissantiago5163 even when they run perfectly, I just don't like not having buttons. Games like Kirby canvas curse are great on a phone though

@@harrylane4 that's why you go get a bluetooth controller I have the 8bitdo controller I can hold my note 9 and the controller at the same time

I was thinking the same, just 3D print some case with vents for cooling then he says the case is made of aluminum and the whole case is used for cooling, the only thing cooler would be if it were aerospace aluminum.

Ok so I have no clue about any of this, i got one for Christmas, I think it’s the Raspberry Pi Retro Pi Emulation Station. I’m mostly just trying to figure out if and how I can emulate DS games.

@@Slender_Man_186 My comment was a year ago and I don't usually go that far back to understand what I was talking about. But I can tell you that without knowing what device you have specifically. Nobody will help you. There are to many combinations to randomly give advice. So make a video and show any names or numbers etc. Describing it may help. Where you bought it and does it still have an active site, like an amazon page? I'm not an expert either. But it doesn't hurt me to look up something if you provide more info. Take into consideration, Pi machines are hobby computers. Its not a typical windows computer. Everything is an uphill battle. So you learning is more applicable to use it the way you want to.

N64 performance is pure trash and I am also using it with Batocera, , it is not even worth using at all it is so bad and this is with a pre made image from someone who claims to be a professional at setting up these OS's on these things, I can not even believe just how bad the pi 4 is a t EVERYTHING I have a 7 year old amazon fire 7 I got for $20 on sale and it blows the pi 4 out of the water this is one of the WORST devices I have ever used for N64 emulation I haven't even bothered to try DC or PSP , I can play mystical ninja on my 2015 fire 7 no problem , with the pi 4 it crashes the whole system and needs to be rebooted , other games all run pretty trash too I waited till it was out over a year ,people said oh there are finally good emulators for it now BULLSHIT , it's hot garbage , and the WIFI is trash too like every other pi not worth the time effort or money

Well, at he isn't playing a Jaguar CD. "Where did YOU learn to Pi?" 😁

I doubt anything in retropie would use 4GB worth of memory!! 2GB is more than enough.

@@suburbia2050 thank you! I appreciate the reply

@@oscarcamey8 remember most of these retro consoles had memory in the MBs. Obviously you need to consider the Raspbian OS and retropie app running but still 1GB is plenty but 2GB gives a nice safety margin and doesn't cost much more.

That would be nice, but personally I would love to see a mini Game Gear with built in Master System games as well with the same curves as the Game Gear, just slimmer, and a rechargeable battery, and not shaped like the ugly AF AT@Games SEGA Portables where.

@@CommodoreFan64 A Master System Mini would be great Now Game Gear? That would be my jam One can only hope for Saturn, but that requires Black Magic

@@RiderNexus Yeah SEGA Saturn would be awesome, but some black magic indeed would be needed to bring that back.

It's called the Odroid xu4. Dreamcast plays like a dream on that and yes pun intended lol.

If so they need to put in MVC2 on it, because with how pricey buying a dreamcast (perfect port) version of it

good luck with input lag. Old school games that need precise and lightning fast input are terrible with the rpie. I tried to use for my mame cabinet and had to go with a small form factor PC because the input lag was terrible with a rasberry pi.

It looks pretty sweet when it lines up right. I think jon should invest in some white contacts... It's a good look on him lol

John is turning into Spawn

how well does it play gamecube games?

@@Cadency very well, i played through resident evil code veronica x on it

@@Cadency GameCube games run natively, so they pretty much all run 100% perfectly. I think some tiny percentage of games have issues running tho.

What do you use for Arcade emulation? Do you play shmups?

@@niespeludo I haven't tried arcade emulation on my Switch, but I have tried emulating Dreamcast games, starting with MvC2, and the only way I could get a playable framerate (which still stuttered and shit) was by overclocking my Switch to max performance settings. I have started playing through Persona 3 Portable on PPSSPP though, and lemme tell you, it runs like a dream.

Please and Thank you. Definitely

Hell yeah that's all I use lol.

Isn't the XU4 like 5 times more expensive?

@@bmx7596 4

If you're looking in the same price range the Atomic pi will crap on the pi 4. It's x86 so you can install whatever you want.

No

E G Saturn emulation is a very hard thing to do. The Saturn had a dual core CPU and was a very advanced console for its time.

@@formerlycringe Actually it had 3 CPUs and 2 GPUs. It used quads as primitives instead of triangles and had other weird architectural choices. The 3D capabilities were an afterthought as Sega still believed 2D games were the future.

@@formerlycringe what diffrent between rassberry pie 3 and 4

gen a Intel Nuc.

@@mowaly64 pi4 has USB 3.0, two micro HDMI, more RAM, and is overall faster.

N64, and ps2 were both very complicated systems that developers had a hard time getting good performance natively. Bring that over to emulation and it becomes 10x as hard.

@@EchoWinters Yep, it's because those systems were poorly designed, the more poorly constructed the architecture is, the more difficult the game programming and emulation becomes. The only difference is, the Ps2 (and 3) were intentionally designed that way, which is sad on Ken Kutaragi's part. A balanced, efficient system motherboard/chipset is always superior like the Ps1, Dreamcast, Gamecube and their emulation reflects that.

Eh? Surely that's down to the owners Internet connection?

I speed up my videos. You should too. LOL

429k* now anyways

Not, not enough power

The word is Dolphin might end up getting ported, but we'll see.

@@SpawnWave that could be very possible due to the source code leak but the people who use the leaked code may get into a lot of legal trouble

@@SpawnWave Theoretically you could run Dolphin on a RPI, provided you install a 64-bit version (Arm8) of it, and create a target for it (enable JIT for ARM64).

in theory and also in beta version it can play game cube games. Only there is still no stable core for the Game Cube emulator
