Does anyone use this? What hardware do you use and what far your experience been like?
Bump
>>12497128Used it on a pi5, it's alright. N64 was better than expected but not great. No PS2, some game cube games ran well enough to play but all had glitches. Dreamcast worked pretty good with random hardlocks. Also have a pc with it as a seperate operating system on a seperate hard drive. It runs pretty good, computer has a ryzen 7 from ~2017, 980ti and 32gbs of ram. It's alright, all 6th gen and up don't run as well as standalone on windows. I just wanted a seperate OS to keep all my emulators seperate and it was either this or dual booting windows.
>>12497139Interesting. Thank you
>>12496341Yeah its a decent way to turn an old machine into a emulation box.
>>12496341I have it running on an old Optilex 3050 micro with a TP Link UB500 bluetooth dongle for my wireless controllers (use a dongle from the supported list in their wiki).I've only played up to PS2 on it, which it does fine. I also like that it has Kodi installed for streaming videos off my file server.
>>12496341emulator?
>>12499139Linux os made specifically to run emulators, mostly as a reteoarch front end but also has some standalone enulators.
>>12496341Doesn't this use it's own emulators or you can't change them or something? How does it compare to Retroarch? If it isn't better than RA, then I don't see the point other than console-izing a computer but I'd still rather have Retroarch, which is GOATed.
>>12499167Most emulators are born on linux with a few ones that started on windows but linux version end up being superior because even if the myth "linux has worse drivers, cpu optimization and gpu control" still goes linux is better when it comes to emulators, yabause is the best example works great on linux, is the only version with optimizations and dynamic recompiler along extras which to date haven't being ported to windows yabause.Then in modern emulators rpcs3 runs better on linux in opengl and vulkan is bettrr and faster compared to windows version.Well most ignore it due to being used by certain people because even basic setup on linux won't give aeay location and similar.
>>12499191>How does it compare to Retroarch?Its better.
>>12499191It uses emulation station which uses the libretro cores from retroarch but some systems have or exclusively use standalone emulators, it all depends on the system. All the common systems will have multiple cores/emulators to pick from. I don't know if they have PS2 for arm systems but x86 systems I believe let you choose between standalone and libretro pcsx2, same thing with dolphin and I believe mame. But say for SNES it'll give the option of snes9x, bones, etc. You can set a system to use a particular emulator then also set individual games to use a different one if it doesn't run well.A lot of it is retroarch though, when you're in game it has the same default hotkeys on keyboard and you can open the retroarch menu, stand alones have their own menus and hotkeys. It also has shit like sorceports(doom, duke, half life, quake, Diablo, fallout, etc) and x86 machines let you set up vpinball but that's not great. You can load it full of .wads and run gzdoom, prboom and I think chocolate doom as well. They have their own "wiki" that lists all the supported systems but it won't necessarily tell you if the version you're downloading is compatible.
