![]() ![]() You can get much better emulation than what's available on a Pi without breaking the bank. To my mind all of this coupled with the simple install, makes the Pi a PRACTICAL place to start playing again for those that have sensibly accepted its limitations. On top of this there are some games I have wanted to play since the 90's that just don't have home ports Kaneko Super Nova titles and some SSV systems games are examples I can think of. I've been buying video games for getting on for 30+ years now and have never had a problem supporting developers either. I had to stop collecting and sell up over a decade ago, which still hurts to this day as I knew when I sold it I would never be able to afford to recover the collection in the future once it was gone and I was right, prices are really high these days. Unfortunately I don't have access to the really large retro collection I used to. If I find there are games that I like I will get a few of the re-releases for the current Gen consoles I own, Switch and PS4 (assuming they are not super limited and prohibitively expensive). It has an extremely low entry threshold for people wanting to play older games? Trust me I would love nothing more than to have a home setup to play the original games and the disposable income to purchase the boards or the systems and some rare carts/CD's for ports or console exclusives but that just isn't where I'm at right now. I agree there are much better options out there BUT it is one of the most cost effective ways to get involved again.įor me like I said before, I have accepted its limitations and my focus is 90's-00's vertical shmups. Do I think it is the best thing to cover all my retro gaming needs, obviously not. Is the Pi a power house, no of course not. I'm genuinely trying to understand peoples reasoning. I'm not sure why running retropie is disappointing to anyone? Or why there is a need to broadcast this whenever there is an active discussion going.

I'm aware of some peoples feelings on the Pi and I know the zero isn't a powerful board but it is as good as the Jamma multi-carts that run all the vertical games from this era and it had low entry cost to get involved and use to work out what kind of games I like before buying some of the limited re-releases on Switch/PS4. There are also some systems I cannot get any games to run. For example I can get gigawing to run on CPS2 but not Dimahoo. I can get some to run on the different board systems but then others on the same system won't. ![]() I'm trying to play some vertical scrollers from 1990 through 2000. Does anyone else out there use a Pi Zero running Retropie to play shmups? Looking for some help from anyone that has experience. ![]()
