Hey!

So a couple of questions, cant seem to find much on it. Does Retropie work on the Pi zero w? and can i download/install directly on the pi instead of doing it through another computer?

Thanks
Bonz

@bonzoxys I am curious how the performance compares to Rpi3. I assume its likely plenty powerful to handle stuff like Snes or prior consoles. But wondering about arcade games from late 90s or early 2000s.

@alturis it’s hit or miss. Most of the lr arcade emulators don’t run well. There are direct ports of fba and mame, but can be a tad difficult to configure them. Snes runs decently, but since the pi zero runs and older version of snes9x, you may notice some graphic glitches and sound effects that are off. Also there is some minor slowdown sometimes. Gba runs pretty well. Minor slowdown there. But genesis and lower run pretty much flawlessly.
