I was able to get through DQ9 without getting a month of neck pain like when I finished DQ6. Speaking of which, I really appreciate the work that was done to make the DS work through emulation. Perhaps the picture can be upscaled without looking completely awful? That's currently the biggest problem with running the handhelds on TVs.
I already have the cables so I can hook my PSP to my TV but we'll see what happens if emulation on the 4/4B works just as well. Not to mention, I can try a few minutes of something out and if I really like it then I can try and find a hard copy and run it on my PSP knowing it will work properly.
Not terrific but it's good for those impossible to find games or imports that haven't been available for forever. I'm currently using a PSP emulator on 3B+ and it. Yeah, when I say Pi 4 I'm including the Pi 4B which is what I'll want due to the configuration. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication. Getting some games to properly work that I haven't been able to play for nearly twenty years has nearly brought tears to my eyes. Learning what little I could and ham-fisting my way through Linux, not knowing a thing about what I'm doing has been a real blast. I've been waiting for this day since I learned about the Pi 3B+ and spent dozens of hours fine-tuning my EmulationStation until everything was exactly where I wanted it and I have absolutely zero qualms about doing it with an even more powerful device. I will also patiently wait for the day they are confident enough to give more support to the Sega Saturn and its small helping of iffy emulators.
Long story short: I will wait patiently for RetroPie's Devs to figure out the new Raspberry Pi 4/B in order to determine how to get RetroArch properly running with my favorite emulators. Reports state that some games have some issues when driving 3D polygon type games but generally the 2D sprite-based games are running impressively well, even on 4K TVs. Those that aren't working properly either have bad framerates, garbled music or in a few cases, both. There's been talk that perhaps when the newer Pi units release there may be enough power to run this console emulator without having messed up music and awful framerates.Īfter a little digging I've already found on a Saturn fan site from the UK that someone has managed to get one of the better Sega Saturn emulators running properly with terrific framerates on about 75% of the games.
Many people have stated that current PCs are more than powerful enough to run Saturn games properly but I've never been a huge fan of "console" gaming on my computer. The Raspberry Pi 3B+ was never truly powerful enough to emulate the Sega Saturn and if one got it working the games were pretty much unplayable. There's four models available, pretty much with different RAM sizes that go as high as 4GB. I heard the Raspberry Pi 4 and 4B just came out very recently.
