Interesting question, I've been using a Pi 3B+ with a 32GB Class 10 Kingston microSD card, running Retropie 24/7 for more than two years. I've not experienced any trouble at all. Most of the time, the Pi is idle, between gaming sessions and using Kodi a few hours per day. Writing speeds and fsck reports look good too.

Ok thank you for that.
I just wasn't sure if the same bug was in stretch and that the documentation had not been updated, as the documentation also stated that bug before retropie moved to stretch in april.
Thanks

The RetroPie-setup script updated today and now I can't update lr-snes9x from source with the PGO changes. Anyone else having this issue?

EDIT: Found the problem. So it seems like there's a limit to how many games you can profile, otherwise it will crap out during compiling the optimized core. I probably profiled 15-20 games, so I think it's better off to just go with 5-10.

@arcade said in Emulating n64/psx on netbook:

So the fact that I'm running 32bit retropie with a 64bit OS is irrevelant

Yes, as far as performance is involved. You'll not get a considerable boost from running an x64 system.
Experiment with the games you'd like to run and see how well they run, but even on more powerful machines N64 emulation is not perfect, so don't expect miracles here.

The only flags I might consider would be a define to disable building in video support or not if it was done cleanly - but this wouldn't be used for RetroPie, but it could be useful for people building from source who wanted to exclude them (someone requested this on the issue tracker I believe).

I have no issue with current compile time, nor do I think flags/defines for enabling/disabling features would be much use. I wouldn't accept any PR for such things without being convinced why we would need it.

@mrbwa1 Great I'll keep an eye on that list-

@JasoThePaso You can't remove posts after a certain period - but if you have resolved the issue or know the cause, you can just reply with the solution for others to see etc.
