support for SuperModel3 on retropie

herb_fargus

@pierpa86 they said it was unplayable even though they got it running. Doubtful youll get more than 10FPS at best.

they say that on Raspy pi 2 and and old versione of emulator. i need to try on RPI3

You'd pick up a few frames with the RPi3, but not enough to make the kind of difference you're looking for. I absolutely love the Raspberry Pi, but it's fighting too far outside of it's weight class on this one. Below is a link discussing the minimum system requirements to run various games in Supermodel.

do we know if we had any progress for aSuperModel support on Retropie?

@santiagomoneta

It's very likely that this never be playable on a Raspberry Pi. The system requirements are just too high.

I highly doubt an RPI3 will ever support Model 3. I have a moderately beefy PC, and it BARELY runs Model 3. I was excited to play Star Wars Trilogy, only to find out it runs extremely slow, and only renders maybe half of the layers.

Good evening everyone,
i am using a raspberry pi4 with retropie and i wanted to install super model 3 but i don't know how.
I read a post where he explains but I miss the first step where he says to extract the emulator here:
/ Opt / retropie / emulators /
I can't find this direcory.
I have no experience with it. If anyone could explain me in a simple way I would thank him.
Thanks

@sasuke1975 Linux is case-sensitive, so /Opt is not the same as /opt. But you should read the whole topic before attempting to install - the emulator would not be usable on a Pi.

Hi,
op is tiny.
The seat dates back to 2016 when the RP4 was not yet on the market.
So you can't install super model 3?
Thanks

Sure, but if even then emulation on a PC was imperfect and slow, it would still not be better on a PI 4.

Not at this time. But there are lots of other systems in RetroPie you could use to play, maybe give those a try.

Hi,
I have installed several but I have always been interested in model 3 for the quality of the games.
but in general, if you want to install the emulator not included in the list, how do you do it? it's complicated?
Thanks

It's not that complicated, but I imagine that for somebody that it's just beginning to learn Linux and Retropie is not easy.

Take a look at the documentation (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Add-a-New-System-in-EmulationStation/#step-32-launch-roms-with-the-shell-scripts) to see how to add a new system/platform using a simple shell script to launch the emulators/games that are not part of RetroPie's packages.
