retropie compatibility?
-
Hello I am interested in taking a raspberry pie and turning it into my own custom hand held retro emulator.
I know that retro pie works on the raspberry pie 3, and i have one that i have been using for testing and getting started.I want to use the raspberry pie 3 compute module with the IO development board, this is because of the height is much lower and it give me the ability to have access to more of the pins for my choice of improvements.
If i change to this set up does anyone know if retropie has stable compatibility with this basic setup?
Thank you for the help, i am hoping to find an answer before i make the purchase.

So it seems there might not be an answer as of now for this. My next question would be what makes the program different from the pi 0/1 to the pi 2/3. Does it have to do with the code being made for the just the specific chip on the board, or is there more to it then just the chip? maybe if someone can help explain that, or even just point me towards the documentation i could read myself. I tried looking at the change log but i cannot seem to find the information that would explain what make the program work on one board but not the other.
again thank you very much for any help that you can provide

@bakecrusader The difference of the pi 1/0 image vs the pi 2/3 image is the the pi 1/0 image has emulators that are lower end and older. Some of the libretro emulators dont run well on the p 1/0 so they include the standalone programs which run better but are harder to configure. SNES includes older versions that are buggier but faster. ECT.... It basically gets rid of the stuff that won't run well on a 1/0 and includes stuff that runs better.
