'Revolution X' with Aerosmith is another one. On top of having a wonderfully absurd premise, it's also a great rail shooter.

@mox I have 32gb card and have pretty much all systems/ROMs up through 16 bit era (minus most of the 80's PCs). I have a select few Sega CD, psx and N64 games. Mario 64 runs excellent on a pi3, maio kart and Zelda also work pretty good too. With overclocking many more N64 games become playable. Dosbox works really good for most of the PC games I grew up and I have commander Keen running well on it. For Duke nukem and doom you are better off running the ports then through dosbox. For arcade emmulation I have mame2003 running about 1500 different games and I use fba for neogeo. Basically a 32gb card can hold mostly everything you could want minus disc based games which you will need to be a little more choosy with.

@fabio78 said in Retropie 4.4 SD card images?:

Seems like a new version is only justifiable when there are enough updates containing meaningful changes accumulated since the last release, or some game-changer features

Or perhaps it's entirely dependent on when the devs have free time to work on it ;)

We don't have a regular release schedule to preserve our sanity.

Where did they mention Virtual Console? Last I checked, recently, there was no mention of VC on the Switch.

Edit: Nevermind. I found it!

@barbudreadmon
Well damn 🙁

Bringing back a dead thread. Has anyone had more luck with using a Zero or Zero W for RetroPie? I want to get a second Pi for gaming, the one I have has been turned into an openHAB box, so I was looking for a cheap way to do it. I would have to dl the new RetroPie as the one I have is over a year old and has been sitting on a stored away microSD card for over a year.

I would like to play PSX games if possible, so I might have to get a pi3, but if I can do it on a Zero, that would be great. We will be mostly playing 16-bit and older games.

I also haven't used a Zero for anything yet, just a couple pi3's, so if there are any other issues with them, please let me know.

Sorry to necro this topic, but according to the following link, avoid_pwm_pll=1 was removed from the firmware in October 2015 and is now always enabled.

https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware/commit/260bc9c7589b3359485fc02fed8f56d4c5eaad9a

Does this affect overclocking and, if so, how?

The Wiki still contains the following, which may now be incorrect. Does anyone know for sure?

By setting avoid_pwm_pll=1 (which negatively affects 3.5mm audio quality) you can overclock the individual GPU components with the parameters:

v3d_freq - speed of OpenGL 3D graphics processor isp_freq - speed of Image Sensor Pipeline h264_freq - speed of x264 video decoder (not used by emulators, used by Kodi)

@erk005 if you have a wiimote to plug the controller into to have it wireless, the mayflash dolphinbar is freaking awesome!! For wired the raphnet-tech adapter mentioned above works great. I have two of them i used before i got the dolphinbar.

@mahcneto winters fury is the one i have thats is completely unplayable. I went through a lot just to get through the first level but the second is completely unplayable. Soo much lag and you cant see 2 feet in front of you. Shame really cause it looks really good on the videos and the first level was cool aside from all the issues

I also have the pi2scart ouputting on a 28 inch consumer crt from philips and dont have those "problems". I cant even take photos of my scanlines becaues they are so subtile. Would like them a bit more beefy to be honest but its not that easy to get a pro crt here sadly.

@jcrod1000 Ask the seller ?

So a bit of an update. Since I was no longer using my RPi3 (I had ordered a XU4) I decided to experiment with it (the RPi3) more than I had before and I installed Lakka on it, and it worked perfectly. Out of the box the games look amazing and the (few) that I have tried, both SNES and PS1 have run perfectly.

This tells me that there isn't a problem with the pi, the power supply or the sd card, its just something different in the versions/configuration in RetroPie. For clarity sake, I always installed RetroPie from official builds, and tried multiple times, always trying to use it with out of the box defaults first.

I gave the RPi3 away, so I can no longer test with it (the XU4 runs circles around it) but it is good to know that it was at least capable of running the emulators that I thought it wasn't.

I have not put RetroPie on the XU4 yet, I am trying to get a decent set of benchmarks (games that run smoothly in Lakka) to compare.

@ranma Yeah, the Pi3 is great for PSX games. There are just two Syphon filter games that were exclusive to PS2 & PSP. The XU4 is easy to set up with RecalBox, but with RetroPie I really had to put many hours into getting it to run. There are a few minor glitches which are going to be addressed with the next RecalBox release.
What the Pi3 does have going for it over the Xu4 is that bluetooth and wifi is included. But still, I am telling you from experience, the XU4 runs PSP and N64 games great. If all you want is PSX, that's fine but it's nice to have access to some of the great PSP games that I have missed out on. Also, it's nice to be able to turn on some of the graphical/resolution enhancements.

and another

@phantomthrill What's the RetroArch version you're speaking of ? What's the problem you were having ?
RetroArch uses the A and B buttons to navigate in the RGUI - that's the default and it matches the Emulationstation way of navigation/selection.
