As with most new toys and retro gaming, it all has a learning curve.
I have 2 units with recoil and I do enjoy them.
Yes a few things to setup and understand, but its no different then the first time you loaded up retropie and started messing about.

The cost is a bit high but then again its a hobby and if you love killing zombies and the memory of "Action" in Time Crisis then why not. Time is Ticking and life is sort.

I install yabasanshiro that is available now on the experimental package and this game working fine so far . Many thanks!

@retropieuser555 did you configured anything special? I've can't solve the garbled colors problem (beside this the game works).

I've tried the normal fallout version en de HD version. Both have the same problem.

He just dropped anoher video with a similar spec machine. A lot of these pre gen 8 machines are unable to run Windows 11 so I imagine the price on them is going to continue to fall.

If you're good and comfortable with house wiring, I've found the best way to build a cabinet is to install a powerstrip internally then open it and extend the switch to a 20a 120v hard-mounted external switch, like the original cabinets had. In fact, you can actually use the original switches to be honest, they ran on 120v systems. I normally replace them just for reliability sake.

Once you do this, everything is left as "wake on power", or left switched "ON". Even the Pi can work this way, but will need a proper shutdown process to turn it off. Everything else in the cabinet will remain off when power is off, then immediately turn on when the main power strip is energized (Lights, LEDs, Audio, Monitor.. etc... just like an original cabinet did. When I build a cabinet, my goal is Old School.. I like it all on at once, and ready to play...all discrete and hidden so you can't tell it's a PC or modern electronics.

Again, not saying to do this, but I am very comfortable designing and working with power, so it's not an issue for me.

Best,

@dteam Thank you for the kind words, this means a lot to me. Initially I had plans on doing more with other systems too, but the way I did it was too much work for me and a lot has changed in my private life too. The plans are still there, just with little bit less of scope. As for this document, off course there are things I would have done differently now. But that will always be the case. And did anyone notice the starts at the last "Thank you for reading" page are clickable links to some websites?^^ So guess this makes them to Easter eggs.

Just for the fun and sake of discussion, what games did you miss on the list? Or what games does not belong to it in your own opinion? How many of you are on Raspberry Pi 3 or older?

Monster Castle?

@george-spiggott said in Getting the best PSX experience on a Pi 4:

No idea about your invisible characters option, I hope you find a solution.

Thank you, I found the options, but they didn't solve the invisible characters problem.

However, I discovered that it only exists in two player mode. If you start a two player split-screen race, do the characters also disappear once they move a bit further from your view (so you can only see the wheels)?

@thorr69 I did say you could mount it vertically on the side of the table where it's not visible. But hey, you don't have to do it if you don't want to.

@daywane bet it was mind blowing?

@shavecat said in Getting the best N64 experience on a Pi 4:

Hey any news about that ?
i saw this video

and maybe we can get it working for the pi4 ? :O
And Merry Christmas

that video is over a year old. lr-parallel is not new and is available in retropie, but it need a vulkan driver (and/or good CPU) for these fancy LLE features. current raspberry pis will just revert to ancient versions of the HLE plugins, of which better versions appear in the default n64 emulators.

as for the vulkan driver for pi4 - a) i don't believe it's featureset is advanced enough for lr-parallel and b) it's a very weak GPU and wouldn't run it in a usable way even if it could.

Came across this page on google aaaaaand the link to your tool is dead. Just thought i should mention it.
