      I'd recommend the Flirc case, that's what I use. It's an aluminum case that is also the heat sink. You cannot over-heat a pi with it (I've tried!), and it's an attractive little box. No fan, absolutely silent.

  • @Antiheld1989
    @Antiheld1989 Рік тому +39

    Thumbs up for spreading word for Retropie and Raspberry Pi in general. :)
    Still there are some statements that are not true, some things where I would disagree and some information missing.
    - Raspberry Pi 4 with Retropie is not capable of emulating PS2 or Gamecube. With Raspberry Pi 4 using other operating systems, there is the possibility to run some games. But extremely buggy and underperforming, so not in any way that is really playable. And as I said, not with Retropie.
    - Performance wise Pi 3 and Pi 4 only really differ when it comes to N64, Dreamcast, PSP, Saturn and some Arcade games that are in the same league as Dreamcast. Since there is a real shortage of Raspberry Pi devices with insane reseller prices, one should consider buying the older Pi 3.
    - I think you should have mentioned the prices. Retropie became popular because it was a low cost and low power method of getting an all-in-one emulation device. With the currently extreme prices, one should think twice of getting a Raspberry Pi just for emulation at all. You can get Android boxes with a similar and slightly better performance for a much better price. For a Pi 4 with all accessories (not including the gamepad since you need this with other solutions as well) you can get an X86 or an Android device with much better performance. So as long as the prices are this high, Raspberry Pi probably isn't worth your money when you just want to get it as an emulation device.
    -For someone that is so new to Raspberry that he requires this tutorial for setting it up, I would heavily recommend using Recalbox instead of Retropie. The advantage of Retropie is having more frequent core updates and including other stuff much earlier, often when still in experimental phase. But therefore it's much more tedious to set up and results in things like hiccups with Bluetooth gamepads that are pretty hard to fix for beginners. Fixing up hiccups and unexpected problems generally occurs more frequently and is harder to fix with Retropie, since it focuses on having the most features and being the most up to date. Whereas, Recalbox has a focus on being reliable and easier to set up. With Recalbox you don't need FTP to copy games. Just insert the microSD in your PC. Setting up resolution, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth etc. is also much easier. Everything works within Emulationstation settings, you don't need the bluescreen config menu that often is overwhelming for beginners.
    -You forgot to mention that some platforms require BIOS files. Even though you showed PS1 games running, you didn't mention that you need PS1 BIOS files in order to play PS1 games.

    Prefer to use a USB stick to add roms. Either a phone with a OTG dongle adaptor and my USB stick, or my stick on the Mac. Its great because you can slowly add a few roms of your choice, without choking down the Pi. As you add roms, the emulators appear one by one instead of millions of machines in your system.You can be more selective over the content of your pi. I hate them consoles with thousands of games you'll never use.

    • @ChaosFilmsSports
      @ChaosFilmsSports 11 місяців тому +4

      Here’s the steps to doing it with a USB Drive:
      1. Plug USB drive into PC and make a singular folder titled retropie (no spaces no misspellings)
      2. Plug into raspberry pi and wait a few minutes/until light stops flashing on drive
      3. Plug back into PC, if it’s finished it should display 3 folders inside the retropie folder
      4. Go into roms folder, click on the folder that matches system, drag and drop inside folder and your done!

    • @Antiheld1989
      @Antiheld1989 Рік тому

      I don't know if it stell helps:
      Raspberry Pi 3B or Raspberry Pi 3B+ is great for anything Up to PS1. Meaning SNES, GBA, PS1, Some arcade games that are equally demanding. It struggles with N64, Dreamcast and PSP. For that you should overclock and then you still will only get a satisfiable result for some games.
      Pi 4 especially with overclocking performs much better with Dreamcast, N64 and PSP. I believe even some SEGA Saturn is playable (even though it's an older plattform than SEGA Dreamcast it's harder to emulate because it's a very complicated hardware to emulate).
      Neither is capable of Xbox, PS2 and Gamecube. So choosing between Pi 4 or Pi 3 depends on how much you want N64, PSP or Dreamcast.
      Since there is a shortage of Raspberry Pi devices, you should compare prices and even consider buying an Android box instead. At the moment, you will get the same performance as the Pi 4 for a much better price. When Pi 4 is back in stock for the normal price, I would probably consider buying a Pi 4. Just get the 2GB modell since 4GB or 8GB won't matter when it comes to emulation.
