Thank you! This was just the video I was looking for to help me decide if I should upgrade my Zero W. I think I probably will!

[@voltcorp]

lol by the time you've made that choice they were already nowhere to be found

[@TBMartin]

1:26 Not initially true from experience. Some SNES games like Star Fox and Super Mario World 2 didn't run all that great on the W1 (even with the Retroflag GPI case with its low res screen) So I expect they run a lot better now.

[@classmanOfficial]

This is amazing! I was here to see how would a GBA game would perform, but after seeing its capable to do all this I have no more concerns!

[@anon_y_mousse]

It's amazing what can actually run on one of these tiny computers. It took a while for me to get a working build of a PS1 emulator on the Pi3 when I started using it. I went with using Raspbian and while it was fine for general computer use, none of the emulators would work out of the box. Had to build it myself and tune almost endlessly, and then I still had to edit the input code because it didn't even recognize my joysticks on my cheapo $20 gamepad. Although, it was worth it to play Doom and Spyro with a modern controller scheme.

[@mrnobody4183]

Is scrcpy running on pi zero 2 w ? I'm really looking forward to it as my android phone don't have mhl support and I want to use it on my TV.

[@L-Office]

This is probably the best price/performance ratio you can get if you just want an emulator. The 2W is awesome :)

[@sarabihyena]

very informative thankyou

[@Miedzypol]

soo... Anbernic RG35XX is worse that rapsberry zero 2? ouch, my money

[@stockpilegolem7241]

Its interesting that GTA Vice City Stories can run smoothly even on a first gen PSP which only has 32mb of ram. Why do you think that is? Could it come down to the lighter version of the game that its running? Could it be because of the screen resolution? After all the PSP 1000 is using a modest 480x272 display. Maybe its an emulator issue or a combination of all of these factors. I doubt that its a Pi Zero 2W limitation because on paper it should outperform even the most powerful versions of PSP by a landslide.

[@leepspvideo]

Emulation is very different to running on a native console with games written specifically for that device

[@Cloudmaster1511]

it comes down to the optimization for that specific console. that is also the reason sub-par consoles like xbox and playstation, can keep up with cutting edge tripple-A games.

[@gbraadnl]

@@leepspvideo I have PSP games running decent on the older PS-Phone (Xperia Play) with only frameskip of 2 (no buffered rendering). The memory is not the limitation here. It is really the graphics side. Looking at PSPi being able to also run RetroPie on his board, it is a matter of configuration.

[@donjohn5542]

Great video. Thinking about doing this with my pi Zero W. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦😊

[@Infinitrium]

My Pi Zero 2 W wouldn't run any N64 games very well at all under Retropie. Mario Kart 64, Mario 64, Diddy Kong Racing and of course Goldeneye just weren't playable. In Recalbox with the Rice core, most N64 games are playable with occasional, non game-breaking glitches. 007 Goldeneye even runs although the framerate varies hugely. Of course I should mention that I'm overclocked to 1300 mhz. I'm not sure what core Retrope defaults to for Dreamcast but the only game I could get to run at all was F355 challenge, and that wasn't at playable framerate.

[@forrandomsites3336]

For n64, just before the game runs, open the settings menu by pressing any button, then enter the option where you choose which emulator version, select the one where its something like lr-n64, you should then get significantly better performance on n64 games, at a cost of some minor visual changes.

[@stiggievandell]

Cool video man :) have the ps1 version of thps2 working decent with an original pi zero... its my favorite ps1 game :) but having played every single version bajillions of time for decades I can say without a doubt the DC is the best one. The pc version (released before the dc version) has lower poly models and lower rez textures. The og xbox version (rebuilt from scratch) although featuring new areas didn't have as well feeling control as the dc, and the lighting textures and models just look better on dc.

I was just having a little revelation watching you play all of those really similar 1st person sh00ters . Resident Evil more or less took all those classic games and adapted a narrative allowing the successful series of games & movies. If they had to to explain how any of these game plots happened, the villainous Umbrella Corp makes sense for any of them. Even Doom the movie has that same vibe. I will say out of any game I've ever played , especially as a kid Resident Evil was probably the scariest game ever. Clever jump scares and not knowing what was around the next corner was enough to have you on the edge of your chair. Plus great cut scenes. Duke Nukem's nuclear symbols even resemble the Umbrella logo with the white and red. ... I wonder how much inspiration was drawn from these classic games.
