EmulationStation inside Retropie on Raspberry Pi B+ does not work with more than 20.000 roms
-
@CaelThunderwing I've installed all on a 4TB external Usb disk

@barretta well SD or USB it doesnt matter to Emulationstation it's Still having to parse every rom into a list and the act of doing that past WAY so manywill slow things to a crawl to the point it will lock up, you CAN however speed it up a tiny bit by saving only what you will use to SD over USB as the Pi's SD read/write is faster than its USB2.0 access times even w/ a Pi3 (USB vs MicroSD)
The only differences using a newer Pi than you are now in the same setup, will be its Not going to lockup w/ that many roms due to running out of Ram. (that and you'll be able to do alot more than the Pi1/0 can) (the differences between 2 and 3, Dualcore ARM CPU vs Quadcore, 1ghz vs 1.2, the 3 has builtin Wifi & Bluetooth and power consumption (2A vs 2.5A[because of the added internal wifi n bluetooth] ) Both models have 1GB Ram vs the B/B+ only 512MB[256 if your talking the first run of the B's) and Cost. the Pi2 is 35$, the Pi3 is 45$
if your fine using an USB Wifi and bluetooth adapters for wireless connectivity then if your going to get a newer model go the Pi2 but if you want the lil extra Ommph the 3 packs + the built in connectivity then the extra 10$ wont Hurt
