    This is dope! Thank you so much. My brother bought me a pi for Xmas some years ago, but I for life of me couldn't remember how to add the games. This saved my life. Sonic here we come 😀

      The odroid is about twice as powerful as this. it also costs twice as much. So it depend on what you're looking to play. 3D stuff? Go with the Odroid. PSX and under? This will probably work for you.

    • @bernielindell
      @bernielindell 5 років тому

      Patton Plays nah, I’m mainly old skool when it comes to emulation. GameCube and up I stick to the consoles, and never really was a Dreamcast fan. Heck, the Everdrive City page I created on Facebook is basically dedicated to mainly retro consoles and the rom sets for those particular flash drives. The Pi has come a long ways however, and your video convinced me to invest in one. 😀

    Can you hook up a USB with the games also? 32 GB the max and only SD cards? Can you get PSP games to play off of this and is saving a issue? Does this run the games better than the SNES?

    • @PattonPlays
      @PattonPlays  5 років тому

      Yes you can. I use a 128gb microsd card. PSP play pretty good, not 100%, no issues with saving. Games run much better than on the snes yes. If you are really looking for an nice emulation machine I recommend the odroid. It's a little more expensive but much more powerful and can run PSP excellent with video upscaling. I've done a couple vids on it recently.

So can you hook it up to your TV with full screen? Most controllers comp with USB? PS4 controller? How about newer indie PC games such as Stardew Valley that don't work for the SNES? Dreamcast save without VMU? Saturn run at a better speed? Any other newer system emulators work on it like Gamecube,PS2 or 3DS? Odroid C2 the best one to get and the one I need or is the LattePanda Alpha better?Sorry I got questions.
