      The pi Zero W is rly cheap I see my store carries them I was wondering
      I mainly just use zdoom with mods and a lot of snes and mame...
      But I heard the pi zero is very weak it even has troubles with SNES
      Not sure if this is true.
      I do know when the pi 1 was out people had performance issues with
      SNES already and the pi zero is not far from it?

        @retrofreak89 the better snes emulators have slowdown issues on the pi zero. You have to use older emulators on it to try to help that. I dont see zdoom being a viable option on the pi zero and wont put it on any of mine.
