      I have installed my Retropi , on my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B , everything works well , but I want to know if it would be possible to improve the preformance of Retropi , if i had my Raspberry Pi 1 Model B , working together with the Raspberry Pi 3, and if it's possible , how could i made both Rapberry Pi work together?

        @nickoblack you can cluster several pis together (i'm not sure about different models), but it wouldn't benefit retropie because:

        1. generally it's not CPU power that's the bottleneck
        2. these clusters don't benefit realtime tasks because of network latency, etc.
