I can't say I understand the continued interest in RPI emulation. A few years back it might have made sense, but small board options are much more varied now.<p>The Nvidia Jetson Nano seems like a no brainer in the emulation space. It's 90$ with 4GB RAM (vs 70$ for a 4GB Pi4). For that extra Jackson, one gets actual GPU cores with compute support baked in(not to mention mature graphics drivers).<p>And its not like there is much of a trade-off for those CUDA cores. The Nano is also roughly the same size as a Pi, has that 40 pin header (it even throws in actual PCIe lanes)<p>I realize emulation is often CPU bound, but having a decent GPU on tap can't hurt.<p>I don't do small boards, so maybe I am missing something?
I never understood the hype about emulation on Raspberry Pi.
Fidelity goes out the window and the experience is very subpar. End result being the emulated games don't even come close to the real thing, even for 16bit systems.<p>It's sad that all the effort spent on "optimizing" emulators for RPI is essentially wasted, putting lipstick on a pig.<p>Spend a little more money and get a single board x86 computer (e.g. Odroid H2) or a NUC and these issues go away.
