      @lordluca It was mentioned somewhere in the first posts of this topic - you can use the weekly built image for the Pi3 from http://files.retropie.org.uk/images/weekly/.

          @daywane Not sure what you mean ?
          The images provided fit both a 32 or 64 Gb sdcard/usb drive, just like the rest of the images provided on retropie.org.uk/download.

              @daywane If so, then this is not the place to ask for it :) We don't distribute nor support those.

                Does anyone know if the Pi zero 2 can run lr-snes9x?
                I have a rpi zero console built which is rpi zero 2 compatible and I really want to play Zelda a link to the past with the msu-1 hack, which requires lr-snes9x.
                I tried to find a list of the 02's capabilities but I couldn't find one so I decided to try and ask, hopefully this is the right place.

                  @HairDyeGuy why not just try? you can install it via optional packages.

                  my guess is it won't run well. snes9x has only really been viable on pi4, and any additional emulated enhancement chips are only going to exacerbate things.

                    Mostly because I don't have one yet. I wanted to find out before I buy one 😬

                    Damn, that's a real shame. I was hoping to play msu hacks on a portable machine (long live handhelds).
                    Oh well, thanks anyway!

                      @HairDyeGuy I just tested a couple SNES MSU roms (Link to the past, rock and roll racing) using lr_snes9x on the pi zero 2 and they work just fine. I used the weekly build from a couple months back.

                        It's been a while since I've tested lr-snes9x on my pi3b but the slowdowns would happen when there was heavy transparencies like in megaman x 1's water area in the octopus level or the ones that used a double res like trials of mana. You can test those.

                          @Fruitybit I hadn't considered getting a zero honestly but after recently checking out the specs, I think I might have a go at making a handheld :)

                            Now Autumn is approaching I've been thinking about coming back to the Pi scene with a Pi Zero 2 project but getting one at a sensible price (or at all) is a no go at the moment.

                            Are people mostly running theirs 'vanilla' or overclocked to try and mimic the Pi 3's specs?

                            Currently running:
                            Retropie 4.8.9 on a Pi Zero 2W (Overclock Settings: CPU 1400Mhz)
                            ES-DE on a GMKtec K6 (Windows 11, 32GB RAM)
