      I found another option for getting performance information logged - RetroArch performance counters: https://docs.libretro.com/guides/generating-retroarch-logs/

      I haven't seen anything useful logged yet though :/

      @Riverstorm said in cpu governer leaves v3d only at 600mhz at one pi4 while going tot 815mhz on another pi4:

      So if those calculations are correct you're going to need 74,481 cubic centimeters which is roughly 745 cubic meters for the Pi's alone. You're gonna need a fair sized room!

      That's true, but a) it's cool, and b) with a little work on the interior design, you may be able to actually live in it! 🤓

      (The video's creator already had shrunk the power supply quite good by serialising it.)

      @mitu - I like the way you're thinking

      I wanted to say that to both of you guys. One thing that remains is a proper name. Off the top of my head, the rather unspectacular "MegaPi" came up, quickly followed by "ClusterF*ck". 😉

      Is ReDream the one with the GUI?

      I used FlyCast and it .... worked.... One of the emulators crashed on me but I don't recall which one. I'll try ReDream again as it did load but seemed a little goofy but that's probably due to my inexperience with it. Took me a few minutes to realize the mouse was working and had to exit using the commands and not through RetroArch. I'll give it another whirl.

      Part of the problem is not really having anything off the top of my head that I would specifically play on Dreamcast. Nearly everything over the years that I had has either aged terribly and not worth the trouble or has been updated or remade on better systems.

      PSO has been redone and done better, Skies of Arcadia is on GameCube, etc.

      Can the raspberry pi 4 run N64 games?

      @Swedishkiller12 It has more power and an important software part (GLES compatibility) is solved/improved. The emulators on N64 still could need some work, but the Pi 4 will most probably be a big improvement on N64 games. We can't say more than this.

      @mitu
      Thanks.
      Though I find it hard to believe I'm the only one wanting to use a x86 machine but with the same user experience as RetroPie on a Rpi.
      So no desktop just plain retro gaming, seamingless. I can't find any good tutorial on this. Makes me wanna go back to my Rpi...
      Problem with the Rpi is that it isn't powerful enough to Run Dreamcast and GameCube games.

      Well, then I voided the warranty, I knew that in the back of my mind but didn't think about it so late at night. :( Luckily it's a $10 board.

      But being back in March, this was resolved in Raspbian according to the links but I had the issue on a new Pi Zero W the other day with the latest image of Retropie for Pi1/0.

      I'll have to remove the flag and see if it fixed it when I upgraded the sd card ( cant remember if i did it right before or right after, I was half distracted by Smallville reruns).

      Thank you

      @matchaman The actual CPU / SOC is inside the black square you see. Not sure if the Pi Broadcom chip is enclosed in ceramic or plastic but it's just the housing that is scratched / slightly chipped.

      Thanks for that tip finh! I was trying to troubleshoot cpu usage on x86 emulationstation and happened on your post, works perfectly to address cpu usage!

      Yes it was set to background. I'm guessing it should be "default"? I've set the config to default and rebooted. Will run upstairs to check that the controller still works!

      Thanks!
