The Raspberry Pi 4 Is A Gaming Beast

  • The Raspberry Pi 4 came out last year and I decided to pick one up when it came out. The only problem is it wasn't supported at the time since it was so new. Now a lot of the emulation scene is starting to catch up with Retropie now making an image for it showing just how strong the Raspberry Pi 4 really is.

    A lot of people seem to like the Argon, which seems great, but if you're looking for a case that's a little smaller and/or a little cheaper, the Flirc case is a fantastic choice: it passively cools the SoC through the aluminum body really well. I haven't tried RetroPi yet but I run multiple full Linux operating systems on it overclocked, using as a desktop, and it stays well within safe temperature ranges.
    Thanks for the video John! Great to see more Pi content.

    I've been considering picking up a Raspberry Pi for handling the "always on" elements of my network. It's a pretty good little computer and the hooking it up to the TV for a more lightweight solution than a full PC when it comes to handling media and emulation as well. A project I should look into a bit more.

      They use under 10 watts, and are fully capable of being used as a desktop, although web browsing is a little painful but only because web browsers are so bloated.
      I'd recommend a FLIRC case - the entire case is the heat sink. It's impossible to over-heat them.
      I'd also recommend at least 2GB, but you can get by with 1GB. I did ffmpeg transcoding of bunch of 720p files on my pi just to test it, the case got toasty, but you could handle it. I think 54C was max. You need more than 1GB to transcode files over 720p, probably 4. You really don't want to do transcoding on a PI, but it's interesting it can do it.

    I just picked one of these up so I can build an open source firewall / DNS sinkhole with pfsense, which I plan to run 24/7 on my home network. I would recommend the flirc cases. They're a really nice all metal design, and if you really still wanted access to the GPIO pins you can solder on a ribbon cable, the case has room to feed it through. The flirc case on the 3 was really nice, too. Also the perfect case if you don't plan to use GPIO pins as well.
    Also, I know this information is hard to find, but if you're looking for heatsinks try to find these sizes:
    CPU: 14mm x 14mm x 4mm
    GPU: 15mm x 10mm x 4mm
    USB Controller: 9mm x 9mm x 4mm
    Ethernet Controller: 7mm x 7mm x 4mm

    I've been interested in upgrading to a Pi 4, so I'm happy to hear the emulation for consoles that the previous Pi couldn't handle is coming along well. I'll probably wait until N64 emulation is better, but by then hopefully the price for the hardware has dropped a little more.

    • @chrislukes9037
      @chrislukes9037 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah disappointed that n64 emulation is so crummy -- Dreamcast is a more advanced system! Many n64 games are just unplayable on my Pi 3B+ and I've just started exploring options to optimize by tweaking settings, overclocking, etc. I haven't exhausted options with the 3B+ yet, but after seeing only limited gains so far, I had considered upgrading to a 4 -- this is telling me to hold off.

    • @suburbia2050
      @suburbia2050 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The reason why the N64 versions are poor (ie requiring brute force power to emulate) is because the N64 hardware itself was poorly designed (a sign of stressed product rushed to market), most emulators particularly with protected IPs are reverse engineered and N64 has been notoriously complicated to figure out.

    Watch out for older variants. Revision 1.2 came out around Dec 2019 and that revision would give the user the option to use a power through put usc-c hub to both power the pi and to use for data transfer. There is no visible way for your device to be known to be an older model until you boot it up and look. Sadly the manufacturer is 100% to blame as you may have been solda defective product...and they truly didn't care, but instead took measures to hide this fact which can cause damage to to the unit in older revisions. But can do damage to whatever it is plugged into or has into it. Possibly even a fire, depending on usage.

      My comment was a year ago and I don't usually go that far back to understand what I was talking about. But I can tell you that
      without knowing what device you have specifically. Nobody will help you. There are to many combinations to randomly give advice. So make a video and show any names or numbers etc. Describing it may help. Where you bought it and does it still have an active site, like an amazon page? I'm not an expert either. But it doesn't hurt me to look up something if you provide more info. Take into consideration, Pi machines are hobby computers. Its not a typical windows computer. Everything is an uphill battle. So you learning is more applicable to use it the way you want to.

      this is one of the WORST devices I have ever used for N64 emulation I haven't even bothered to try DC or PSP , I can play mystical ninja on my 2015 fire 7 no problem , with the pi 4 it crashes the whole system and needs to be rebooted , other games all run pretty trash too
      I waited till it was out over a year ,people said oh there are finally good emulators for it now BULLSHIT , it's hot garbage , and the WIFI is trash too like every other pi
