        @JohnW4086 really? A $35 dollar computer vs $170 tablet... Take a guess at which one runs better

          We all know the answer to that, the Raspberry of course!

          @JohnW4086 No doubt the RPi is better for console emulator experience. You connect it to your TV, connect a 8bitdo controller and there you go. I dont know but to me it would be pretty weird to use the touchscreen of a tablet as a controller since you cannot "feel" the buttons you're pushing.
