      @Twitch0815 wiki pages are platform specific not emulator specific (unless it's a game engine of sorts) so pcsx (if it's added) would be under the PlayStation page and then we would have to create a GameCube and Wii page matching the format of the others (with a bold note telling people they are daft to think the pi will run the Wii :p)

        Yea all threads have really gotten siderailed because even talking about it certain people assume that its being added to the pi versions. Going to take a bit for people to clearly see the differentiation

          I am not happy with the performance of Raspberry pi 3, but I really like RetroPie so my question is this. Is there plans for a version that can be installed on x86 computers for more performance, I know there is support for Ubuntu but what I'm talking about is a bootable RetroPie build, that is not opened from another OS. This would be great, especially if dolphin support is in development.

            @Ristul I have a Raspberry Pi2 running Retro Pie 4.0. Mine runs super smooth with additional configurations. Perhaps you have not set it up correctly if you are running a Pi3 and you are not happy with the performance... You really do not need a PC to run the emulators included.

              @UberJay I had stuttering in GBA games at times, same with n64 in some games (WaveRace is one of my favorites that are affected). But like I said, Dolphin support is coming so I would happily build a x86 computer that can run it, just wondering if RetroPie team is working on something like that.

                @Twitch0815 btw I've added some preliminary wiki pages

                https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/GameCube
                https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Playstation-2
                https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Wii

                Obvious room for improvement of course.
