  • Today I'm going to be taking a look at the Raspberry Pi 4 as a Retro Gaming console. I've been a huge fan of the Raspberry Pi for years. They are great Single Board Computers and are absolutely Beastly when it comes to emulating retro games. So lets take a look at how well it performs.

    The pi 4 isnt a monster for emulation. The emulation used for playstation is awful and very basic as compared to most other emulators for psx emulation. Even snes looks like shit and runs slow trying to use the most basic of shaders and filters. I will say that the very best emulation on this thing is psp. Most of these issues come down to some bad choices for the emulators and the limitations of the hardware.

    • @GameHeadNes
      @GameHeadNes  6 месяцев назад

      Video is 2 years old. And at the time it was an emulation monster, especially compared to the Pi 3. But as for today? There are much better options for the price.
