      First, I'm a bit pissed off having to accept marketing material mail shots before I was able to join the forums. This is a really cheap and tacky practice being take up by many people. It flies against opt it not out and personally I think it stinks.

      Second, I use raspbian on many pis, they're all headless. So is it possible to use the vnc viewer installed with raspbian for viewing the emulators?

      Thanks.

        @munty VNC would be too laggy to play games from any device.
        If you want to stream games from your PC to your Pi you can use Moonlight if you have a newer nvidia geforce graphics card

          @munty said in VNC for emulators?:

          Not really, VNC uses it's own X server, the emulators are not X based and will not run under a VNC server.

          Care to explain ?

            @munty marketing material? We do nothing of the sort.

            [Edit] oh, the legal popup. Ask the EU. It's afaik what's needed to cover forums under recent law changes. We won't send you anything unrelated to the forum or share any details.

              Occasionally, we may send emails to your registered email address in order to provide updates and/or to notify you of new activity that is pertinent to you. You can customise the frequency of the community digest (including disabling it outright), as well as select which types of notifications to receive via email, via your user settings page. Unless explicitly changed in your user settings.

              If you mean this, it's referring to emails about the forum etc. And how you receive notifications. Nothing more
