Which Raspberry pi should I get?
-
@ExarKunIv thank you for your reply I’m ok to do things as long as I get a step by step! I’m not very technically minded. I just don’t know what to get. I want it for the classic games like Mario, street fighter, tmnt, Simpson’s, double dragon, outrun etc.

@NurseAngela if you would like something that will work more or less out of the box. with the less chance of hiccups, then i would say the pi3b+. it will run everything under the PSX with out a problem and with almost no bugs.
like the others have said the pi4 is more powerful so n64 and dreamcast work better, but the software is still being worked on. so it has more of a change for bugs
either way. both are really good. and you will not be disappointed with either.

I had to make a choice so I bought the pi4 do you think it will be easy to set up with retropie? Really nervous that I should have got the 3

@NurseAngela the setup is the same for both
and since you said that you where more for the older systems you will be fine.
and now you have the power to mess with the some more demanding systems once you get used to working with it.i know thats how it was for me.

Brilliant thank you. I could only afford the 2gb version will that be suitable?

@NurseAngela from what the devs have said yes. 2gig will be more then enough.
that question has been asked many times. even by myself :) -

@NurseAngela dont be so hard on your self. but i understand feeling stupid
i have asked plenty silly questions, and a few i answered my self.but everyone here is great are always willing to try and help out.
you have to start somewhere.
i never mess with Linux before this. and im still clue less with about 90% of it, lol -
@Wolf64 How has your experience been with N64/Dreamcast games been in general? I see a lot of differing opinions on here about it.
I went through and built my emulators on my pi3 a few years ago. It was awesome, but I could only get a few N64 games to work properly.
A lot has changed since then for me... namely adding another kid in household to the mix so I don't have quite as much time to tinker. Like for example, I tried every which way to get two DualShock controllers to work via BT but could never get them going simultaneously.
Is there a recommended seller that sells these things 'fully baked' these days?
