additionally, lr-snes9x-next is the old name for lr-snes9x2010 (i think). that was changed ages ago so you're using a quite old version of retropie. we can't really support that.

@Sendoushi

You'll probably need to get a different screen at the minimum, as those usually use something proprietary and you won't see drivers readily available. It's tough to gauge how much room is inside the case, but it might work. PSPs have been modded before, and this is essentially a knock-off of that.

So an update, the emulator is snes9x2002. I tried with 2005 and 2010, both of which performed significantly worse.

What is the best emulator for a Pi B with 256mb. I assume it's snes9x2002 ? If that won't run StarWing then I assume nothing will. Regardless, what's the best for just standard Mario games etc. I tried both and 2010 and 2002 work fine with those simple sprite games.

@DarkWolf
Alright im looking into it....

Just a another quick question what if I would just use a Jack audio Port and then link it up to a Sound column?
-- How could i Solder-that-up on the raspberry zero ( If even possible!? )

I want to see this be actually made as an official RetroPie case. This is a very good case and I'd love to have one, but I do not currently own a 3D printer.

@RoswellWitness if you are experiencing overheating, then I'd probably put a heatsink and/or fan combo (this way you don't cause your pi to underclock). If you have a good heatsink, you more than likely won't need a fan. If you decide on just a heatsink, I'd stay away from the really small ones. Most people report that they do little to help.

When looking for a good heatsink, the more surface area to air that it has, the better it will work (this is why heatsinks typically have fins). I've heard people mention the flirc case here as a solid option. The reason for this is that the upper half of the case is the heatsink, so there is a good amount of surface area exposed to air (at least as far as I can tell that's the reason.

Another thing to consider is ventilation of the case. is the heat getting trapped inside, or is it allowed to leave the case?

I tried to do the same actions, and then I tried to fix it by this tutorial but it didn't help me anyway. what else could you suggest? thanks

@mediamogul nope. Just paddles sadly.

@psyke83 FYI - https://github.com/harryzimm/RetrOrangePi/issues/3

All good, got pointed towards this.

@cyperghost 900mhz is for sure minimum. 1000 is the best setting for over clocking my rpi1 b to alleviate lag. Also setting the sound latency to 48 in retroarch settings gets rid of the distortion. I cannot speak to how damaging over clocking is to this device, 1000mhz is an aggressive setting.

@nismo , Hi there! I'm absolute noob and I'm not a native english speaker, so please be patient with me! I'm using the ES portable build from herb fargus on windows 10 and I'm realy interested in the mentioned launcher which would make my Retro Gaming Experience much more enyoable! Any chance to get this launcher somewhere here in the forum?

I'm going to be buying one of these https://www.amazon.com/SunFounder-DS3231-Precision-Raspberry-Arduino/dp/B00HF4NUSS/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2W3BY4QZJ3XJNV3N1YXX for my Pi in a PS2 Slim project. its small enough and higher precision which is what I care about.

Thanks for the heads up (and your work on this emulator). I think I would prefer just to document it rather than switching by default, but useful to have cheers. I'll give it a test though.

@BuZz
I'm planned on using a SNES USB controller so i have nothing to worry about then!

Thanks for the answer!

@obsidianspider Yes I agree with you that some peoples expectations of the platform are way up in the clouds, posts about emulating PS2, Gamecube, and Wii comes to mind. But on the other hand its good to have high expectations to a certain degree as that encourages innovation and clever programming. I'm amazed with what this little device can do and tinkering with the Pi platform has become a routine pass-time for me.

@MennoSteenwijk said in Best raspberry pie for retropie:

After installing Retropie on my Raspberry pie 1 I encounterd some issues in the speed of the pie while trying to play for example Mario Kart N64

On the wiki, it says:
Note that you need a Raspberry Pi 2 if you want any decent N64 performance and even then it is hit and miss.
