The new Raspberry Pi 4 is here!!
-
@SuperFromND You are right there. MAME/MESS is a challenge. Off topic, but do you have any tips for getting FM Towns to work with MAME which you could share? If so, I'll open up another topic.
-
Any idea of how could this new model affect emulation on Retropie? I know it says "~3x performance" but what does that mean for N64 Emulation? Would this allow PS2 capabilities?
I think going for 2 HDMI outputs and USB 3.0 ports means this would make a decent desktop computer for work on simple tasks, it's a good direction to go on honestly.
-
N64 might improve a bit.
PS2? No!!! -
@ellohir my thoughts are that n64 will get slightly better, but not much. It seems that the GPU might be the same as the 3b and 3b+, although I am not sure on that yet.
-
But what I am really excited about is the USB 3 ports, as e-GPU adapters do exist for USB 3, even though it would be bottlenecked as hell, I would still love to see if someone could get that working
-
@shadow @sirhenrythe5th So it's a hardware upgrade but seems like it won't affect too much the emulation side of things. Thanks!

Came here to post exactly this :)

As of now Retropie does not run on the rpi 4, but I am sure within the next 2-4 weeks a build will be up for the rpi4
-
Great... more money I don't have for something I don't need and no one except me will use... yet I cannot resist!!!
THANKS A LOT!!! 😂😂
-
@ClassicGMR well the real thing is how far can we push this new board. If it can only improve stuff like mame then dont buy it, but if it does improve dreamcast, and n64 to a decent degree, then buy it when you have the money to do so

Pfft your logic isn't strong enough to overcome my "SHINY GOTTA HAVE IT" mentality! I spurn you! 😂😂
-
@ClassicGMR do what you want (also I will be buying this board because SHINY)

While I am incredibly excited at this news, I'm also kinda glad they are out of stock at the moment too. I think for our purposes there's no urgent reason to upgrade yet - but it's definitely going to be coming. I imagine as above, some improvement to N64 and Dreamcast, which is about as far as I'd want mine to go anyway. I lost interest in gaming after Sega left us.
-
For me it would be great if MAME should improve, Arcade is the moste important Thing for me.
SEGA Titan running fine probably? That would be like XMAS to me :D
But of course Dreamcast would be fine too.However...i am on your side ClassicGMR.
I would even buy it if they only changed the color of the power LED :D :D -
I'm probably going to get the 2GB version to hopefully improve the boxart loading on the pegasus-frontend.
-
I will catch the 4GB Version.
It is not that expensive and maybe useful later.btw: whats about that?
•VideoCore VI graphics, supporting OpenGL ES 3.x
i am not that techi - is this something that could be important too?
-
@sirhenrythe5th I think that they are trying to hide how similar the gpus could be between the 3 and the 4
-
Does anyone know what this means for Saturn support now that Yabasanshiro runs quite acceptably on a mid-range Android phone?
-
I doubt it will be improved too much.
I have a similar experience with GameCube (Dolphin) on my Android-Phone.
The Games run pretty good (Xperia 5 Premium)!But i guess you cant really compare it to a Pi, better CPU, much better GPU, and of course better supported emulators.
