![]() ![]() When I played around with Pi 3 and retropie I first had absolutely horrible lag, but disabling v-sync fixed it. Hopefully it'll be better on the pi 4 but I doubt that all the sources of lag will be solved any time soon. Just the ~50ms lag from a "good" TV is enough to make something like Tyson's Punch Out impossible without adding the total of around 100ms from emulation on a pi 3. However, I feel sorry for all the people who went all out on accessories to run emulators on their HDTV they can't understand why their favourite games from the 80’s and 90's are not as they remember. ![]() I love the pi, the concept and obliquity make many things possible or accessible.

When I get a Pi4, I'll pair it with a 16GB SD card for the boot + OS partition, and then use a 256 or 400 GB microSD card in a tiny USB 3.0 thumb-reader to benefit from the Pi4's massive USB 3.0 rates. I have no doubt the new 1TB microSD cards will also work fine, but again the cost is outrageous compared to USB storage, plus the RPi's SD controller performance is dismal (~25 MB/s on the Pi3s, and a pathetic 50 MB/s on the Pi4, even though many high-end cards can move hundreds of MB/s now). although most people flip over to USB for bulk storage at that point. There are plenty of reviews of people using 400 GB cards, if you want to drop that kind of money on it. I've use EXT4, NILFS2, and now F2FS for filesystem formats. I'm personally running 128 and 256GB Samsung and SanDisk microSD cards in my 3B with zero issues. Reply 7 of 54, by leileilolĪny word yet on whether or not the micro SD slot support SDHC and images greater than 32gb? That really put the pi in the stone age, as far as internal storage.ĭon't know about this, just that microSD transfer speeds are doubled in comparison to previous RPi I expect that DOSBOX emulation up to the performance level of a 486DX66 shouldn't be a problem. Accurate dreamcast emulation is probably too much to ask, but a stripped down emulator should run at least some games fairly well. The OGL version has very similar performance to vulkan anyhow, but that comes down to drivers. PPSPP will probably work fine if the GPU is good. It seems like that should be a good point of reference. The GPD □ uses a rockchip 3288 at and has been tested quite extensively as an emulation device. The RPI 4 CPU should be around the same level or potentially faster. ![]() I have experience with the rockchip 3288 based android devices, and I have found them to be surprisingly capable emulation machines. The benchmarks I have seen show the new A72 cores to be at least 80% faster than the A53 cores. Maybe it's finally powerful enough to run a web browser. I'm more curious on how far you can take Reicast, PCem and PPSSPP on it, and how capable VCVI really is (allegedly Vulkan was in the plans). I'll be disappointed if that feature didn't make it to the pi 4. This made it a great little emulation box for old school CRT tubes (240p goodness). 49.99$ or less would be fine by me, but much more expensive puts the pi in a different category of single board computers than it was before.ĮDIT: Another cool feature of the pi's was analog out via the GPIO and the 3.5mm jack. These could also make tidy little file servers or network routers. n64, dreamcast, PSP, decent Dosbox, and more should be viable now, provided the GPU is enough up to snuff. You need an exponential leap in performance before more complex emulation or applications are in reach anyhow. The clock speeds and core architecture should put it on par with similar rockchip single boards, which is plenty good enough. A high performance 128gb SD card would be a god send for these little boards.Īs for the CPU and GPU performance. Any word yet on whether or not the micro SD slot support SDHC and images greater than 32gb? That really put the pi in the stone age, as far as internal storage. The improvements to I/0 are the most welcome to me. ![]()
