      Hi, my Pi Zero arrived in the post. Im planning on putting the new version of RetroPie on it - but Im not sure what my expectations should be regarding Emulation and Performance - could anyone advise which emulators work and those that dont? My primary aim is to run the classic MAME games on it, perhaps some SNES....but Im open to suggestions. I assume Amiberry would be a non-starter for instance?

        Here's a post with some tips on how to eek the best performance out of your Pi Zero.

        Here's a post with my and some other peoples experiences with emulation on the Zero.

        FYI, many people say to overclock. I've tried literally DOZENS of overclock settings (some extremely mundane), on multiple Zero's - and every single one makes the Zero freeze after around 20 minutes or so (sometimes way sooner, sometimes a little longer), so I wouldn't recommend overclocking.
