        I think he does lib fba core or somthing right? If that's the case I don't use that as it don't run well (skips sound major slowdowns etc) I use pi fba and alls good.

        we've been talking about lr-fbalpha this whole time:

        PiZero is basically a rpi1 refactored, so don't expect to play yoshi's island on snes, i don't recommend fbalpha on it either (you'll have speed issues with cps2, cps3, pgm, cave, psikyo, .... you'll be lucky if you can run cps1 and neogeo games at full speed)

        pi-fba doesn't even run cps3.

        No we are talking about a pi3 compared to a pizero in a handheld ? Did I say pifba plays cps3 ? Both things I didn't say. I have offered to post a video do that mean nothing ? I made my zero into cab and I am playing Tate mostly Aswell.

          you were arguing with someone who was specifically talking about lr-fbalpha. they even mention cps3 in the post, which is only available on lr-fbalpha.

          if you want to make some sort of general point about pi-fba then fine, but stop picking fights with people about their hard work.

            @dankcushions disagreement is diffrent than a argument.

            Well I completed yoshis Island on the pi zero last week . Everything you said here is a lie.... Unless you don't own a pizero and are guessing. Everything you stated works fine ... I built a arcade unit around the pizero and trust me I don't waste money because I am really poor ... The fact is the pi one do not preform like a zero ... The zero runs laps around it

            Then it blew up because I used the word liar ... When I wanted to just say that is bullshit instead of swearing I choose a worse word a bad choice on my part. I have made two attempts to apologise I won't make a 3rd

            I haven't moved the goal posts here he is hinging his argument on cps3 when all 16bit era works lovely and Neogeo cp1cps2 . a total of 5 games with cps3 and only sf3 is good that's it and his emulator preference (his own) not on the hardware capabilitys and other software that's really flawed logic. It's funny because I made a very similar post before and was universal accepted and upvoted so yeah.

            My setup works mint people can make there own mind up have a punt with a pizero or have a punt with a pi3 and chop it up. Iam done here as I will probably be banned now.

              You said "Everything you stated works fine", and i stated cps3 wouldn't run fine. I can't guess you are using pifba if your first post is "misleading" (yes, i could have used another word...), things would have been different if you had said "i can't play cps3 but the others run fine on pifba". Of course you can run pifba fine on a rpi1@1Ghz, i never disagreed with that, it's an emulator especially written for rpi1, but that's a fork from 6 years ago (and heavily modified for rpi, mainly their m68k dynarec which won't work inside current fba codebase, that's why there have been no update for 6 years), which contains less than 1/20 of current fbalpha game library and lacks a lot of other features retroarch+fbalpha-libretro provide.
