Thanks so much for this favorite online classes. you are the best teacher

Your videos are very helpful. I’m trying to decide between a raspberry pi 5 and the N100. Are you going to do a comparison video between the two? Just from watching the individual videos you have on both devices it seems as though the N100 runs things like N64 and Game Cube games better. Would you agree?

I want to get started with a Pi5 and use is for mediacenter and retro gaming, is it wise to put in a M2 drive or is the sd drive where the OS lives enough

Can we talk about the roms and bios on pv? Thanks a lot for the video. Makes my life way easier

straight to the point, appreciate this! thank you.

makes me wonder if overclocking the pi5 can nudge it to playable framerates on wii and gamecube , what about ps2 ?

No bios updates, no support whatsoever, but yeah cheap price. not very reliable seller, but really cool hardware, too bad its just another hardware pusher. without the support with bugfixes and bios updates, it's not worth it in the long run. also does not support low idle power draw.

what about LaunchBox that what i use.

My complements on the whole aesthetic of everything you've got going on there. Cheers.

How about PS2 Emulator on Raspberry Pi 5?Will it run better?Or not?

Best vid I've seen on setup. I did mine on a lenove m90q & this was seamless. Great job sir

Batocera has performance issues. Ps2 works performance varies based on what os your using

Have you released this case yet? If so, does it support NVME SSD? Thanks!

Some people use a copper shim between cpu and case, this will bring the temperature much lower. Good luck

I tried Batocera and it wasn't as optimized as RetroPie (through manual install). It's been working fine, so I hope there's an official image soon.

Thanks for the useful information. I'm hoping a better cooling solution will eventually be available. I'd like to see if overclocking improves playability for newer system emulators. Did you happen to check for thermal throttling while testing?

Up to what emulators can Batocera support on an N100 cpu?

Is it the 4gb ram version or the 8gb version

Any idea if ps2 works somewhat ok?

Check out Explaining Computers channel and his Radxa X4 review. He used copper plate between cpu and cooler with thermal paste, and it was huge difference. He could run it without fan.

Nice video, well done ✅👍 and cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Well Done Sir! I've been a Batocera Dork for a long time, It's Everything I Tried to get Linux to Do 20 Years Ago LOL I find a Bunch of eWaste from time to time, the Kiddos and I Tear it all down & Detail them like new, then see what it can play.

Your N64 performance issues are due to resolution and storage speed. You're above native, and likely using slow storage. It runs the entire library perfectly fine. A better test would be the various MAME 3D titles that only use CPU emulation of older GPU tech.

I would do a 2 tbr even 4 tb

would a pre-1992 UK 1p copper coin be a good heatsink bridge /shim ?

maybe pi 6 can be capable of emulating wii perfectly....in 4 or 5 years.....

Great video, very clear and well produced - but it was really distracting that you were reading a cue slightly above the camera. It felt like you were never making eye contact and your eyes were scanning left and right noticeably. I normally wouldn't mention something like this on someone's video, but you've clearly went to a lot of bother to make the video look great that this feels like an avoidable distractor! Thanks again for the info and keep up the awesome work.

Have an argon one v3 case, works well with batocera. Waiting for an official retropie image sometime this month, so I can switch from micro sd to nvme, and install the argon case fan script.

@24:00 dont forget you can set the defailt for GC to be 3x and set a game-specific resolution for Metroid Prime to be 2x and get the best of all worlds!

Go for the n97 with DDR5 and save money buying a Gamesir Nova Lite controller for a better overall experience.

i take back being nice to you, if youre so dumb you rate the pi 5 a b based on compatability of the one emulator you tested then you deserve shit performance, it can run ps2 games bro, mupen 64 plus is the go to if not the libretro version, if you keep using locked down distros you will act like the spoiled kid you are, back up man its all free software and youre really stingy bro, learn what youre talking about before you teach

Informative video! By pressing F1 while Batocera is running you can open internal file manager. There you can select connected drives to copy and paste games/bios. Please do more videos. Greetings from Germany.

Excellent Raspberry Pi 5 walk-through! Clear and concise with some nice tips and tricks too. Thanks so much for this!

Cool video. Have you ever tried launch box/big box?

If you "just unplug your pi" you run the risk of corrupting the SD card.

The biggest advantage of pi5 is you can hook it up to a crt cia an rgb-pi cable or vga hat. And that changes the game when comparing to more powerful pcs.

Sure you can get it as low as $75..... But that's the "got ya". When you add the Fan, the proper power supply (which is somewhat uncommon!) you are looking at about $100. And that's included the SD card and probably a basic case. By then you are looking at $120...... You can get a N100 or even a N97 which will be pretty A s your entire list of Emulation as long as you don't go beyond 720p on the more Demanded system.

Emulating the old consoles is no problem. Dreamcast also is perfect. But PS2 is not possible. So if you want to run PS2 games without any issues, forget it. I run Sega Master, Megadrive, NES and SNES, PS1 and PC-engine games. Also Dreamcast and N64. But sadly PS2 games was not possible at all. For me better to use a PS2 itself.

Many people have complained that the Fan connector on the X4 is an extremely close fit... and even though i dont have an X4 to hand an good approach could be to first connect the fan "outboard" of the heatsink then rotate and flip the board over to attach it into the heatsink arrangement with the supplied stand offs and screws... So!! connect fan first then attach board and possibly not the other way around... also "finishing off" the thermal block or boss is potentially not an good idea as an high lustre "metallic" finish will likely radiate heat, take note the chip has an high finish this is to radiate heat away from its surface and removing the dull black powder coating on the Thermal boss will allow for radiant heat to radiate back onto the surface of the chip, even with an thermal pad in the way will this effect be likely to occur...also the wi-fi ariels with there soldered ends present an clear short circuit risk should they ever contact an live board therefore with there adhesive stickers an convienant space on the heat sink should be allocated to accommodate them...leaving them hanging freely is probably not an good idea either...The RTC battery pack also has adhesive mounts and the top of the Ethernet port looks likes an handy place to attach the RTC battery onto..

Could you check power consumption from the wall on idle? Currently using rp4 running plex+home assistant, it only sucks 5-7W max as seen on my kill-a-watt meter.

Great video - you covered tons of detail. Impressed - keep the videos coming.

How did the X4's temps not go above 69C lmao is it being undervolted or something? Is the cooler THAT robust?

Very nice tips!!! loved the vid, thanks very much for all this info.

How much latency you got in controller ?

i find the pi5 really interesting for android gaming and emulation...then for everything else i recommend more a intel n100. it cost pretty much the same price but has windows and better specs and compatibility for emulation.

did you use vulkan .the trouble is if your not an expert in emulation scene you wont get best out of it.

Did you experiment with overclocking for N64, Wii, or GameCube? Would be interested to see how CPU and GPU overclocking could improve playability on those systems.

Hey man, I'm having trouble playing GameCube games. They're telling me there's no save file on the memory card slot and won't let me go any further. I also can't open the quick menu (hotkey + a) any ideas?

Exactly what I have been looking for. Well explained content on getting retrogaming working on Pi 5 beyond 'run installer and copy roms over'. Thank you! (edit: any 'pro tips' or optimizations beyond what you have covered already would be good - if there are any :) - cheers)

I got one for a batocera desktop cabinet I recently made. Its great it even runs a fair amount of 3d arcade games such as virtua fighter 3 on model 3, and a lot of naomi and atomiswave games as well.
