Raspberry Pi 6 anytime soon ya reckon?

And if so what level of gaming would you want it to do? PS2, Gamecube , XBOX no bother?
Maybe some more of the difficult arcade games that don't do well -
@hawkes_84 Given the cost of the Pi5 vs a cheap mini pc would that be a useful product at this stage given that it would be equal or higher cost? Does Arm/Linux have a working Xbox emulator yet?

@George-Spiggott there are certain advantages a Pi still holds over a mini PC. Loading straight up into retroarch for one where as you'd have to set up a mouse etc and select it on a mini PC. No great hardship but still something I don't wanna be doing in my lazyboy. I guess there are ways to have your PC load it up automatically etc

@hawkes_84 As you say I imagine that can be done automatically on a PC. I'm more interested in the next iteration of Pi Zero than the Pi 6. The current Zero maintains the low cost that made the Pi so desirable and is comparable with a Pi 3 spec wise. A Pi Zero 3 with Pi 4 adjacent capabilities would be interesting to me though I imagine it will be a few years before such a thing arrives.

@George-Spiggott I didn't like the zero. I put a bunch of roms on it - within its capabilites. When I put vid clips on it - it kept crashing. Maybe the zero wasn't made for the video samples. I could have gave it more time but was having too much fun with the 3+4

@hawkes_84 Interesting, I've never done video clips. The lack of RAM limits limits a lot of things, for example the browser won't even open. I wonder if that is the cause. More RAM is the thing I would most like to see on a Zero3 along with faster WiFi.
