Higher powered Pi 4 alternatives for Retropie
-
He just dropped anoher video with a similar spec machine. A lot of these pre gen 8 machines are unable to run Windows 11 so I imagine the price on them is going to continue to fall.

@george-spiggott I just learned retropie x86 is a thing. Have you tried it before? I think replicating my current Pi 4 build/theme on a beefier x86 device may be just the ticket.

@dodonpachi no I have a build that looks like Retropie on my X86 PC but it runs from a Windows icon. I had considered starting a thread on here about it but I'm not sure that it is really 'Retropie'.

@george-spiggott @barbudreadmon What are your thoughts on an Intel NUC5i7RYH, for my purposes? (IE, Mame, CV1000 and 3D fighters like Soul Calibur and Street Fighter EX, etc)

@dodonpachi as i said, MAME has a few drcs available when you run it on x86/x86_64 (i can't guarantee they are enabled by default though), so performance will be less likely to be a problem on x86/x86_64, and in the first place if you have a 3+ Ghz cpu performance won't be a problem on those games even without drcs.

If that's in your budget it looks like it will be more than up to the task with an STR of almost 1900.
