      Hey guys, I'm just thinking out loud here but is there a way to connect a bunch of pi's together to run retro pie? I've been seeing a lot of people making pi clusters lately but could it run retro pie. Maybe if you could do this it could increase the performance retro pie tot run things smoother. So ya, tell me what you guys think, is it a stupid idea or a great one?

        @Kristopherson05 mashing together the pis doesnt magically increase their performance. you have to code the software to utilise the cores/nodes so not saying its not doable but its well beyond most people's expertise to accomplish

        If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

          Most emulators are single-threaded, so even quad core in a single system is pointless
