Impulse bid on an original Xbox and won. Now I'm oddly excited about it! I wasn't even thinking about picking one up, but the second controller was one of these so I had no choice: I'm putting together a game wishlist and so far all these titles are far cheaper than I was expecting. I'll probably wind up spending more on a good component or scart cable than my ten favorite games.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread but I'm keen on knowing the pros and cons of going Raspberry Pi vs. SNES Mini. Is there a general consensus? My first console ever was a PS1 so I feel like I missed out on all the Nintendo stuff as a kid so kind of want to give it a shot and see if I like it.

If you wanted to tinker, (and by god you will be tinkering if you go for a Pi) then a Pi setup can be fun (can being the keyword). SNES Mini you just plug in and have a bunch of pretty good SNES games ready to go and later on if you want to tinker with that you can hack it if you want.

I haven't used one personally but I don't think I saw anyone complaining at all. Hackchi allows you to do quite a bit. Also it just outputs HDMI so you should be fine there.

Don't get the Raspberry Pi, it's a pain in the rear end to set up. Go with an Android TV box, they are already set up to work on your TV straight out of the box. All you have to do is go to the Google play store and download one of the dozens of SNES emulators. Advantages over the SNES mini: -Wireless controllers -Plays all SNES games (including Rom hacks and randomized games) -Save states -Fast Forward/Rewind -Mapable Turbo buttons -Plays other games without hacking -Does other stuff like play videos/youtube/music Rutibex fucked around with this message at 13:00 on Mar 13, 2019 |

Both are cheap, could always get the mini and expand from there. I think there's a lot of value in plug n play + functional GUI. Even in a finite # of solid games isn't a bad thing so you're not overwhelmed by choices.

Step 1 took me a few days because I had to find the correct image and install it using a specific tool (IIRC). It kept getting messed up when installing the image and I forgot what I did to figure it out. When I finally got it working, the Pi was running slow as poo poo. I could barely get SMW:1 working at 1:1 speed. Turns out there was some config stuff I needed to tweak and at that point I got so frustrated I sold the thing. The SNES mini is so much easier. It's harder to find nowadays but if you can get your hands on one at a reasonable price (MSRP) it's totally worth it over the Pi, especially since you get two very accurate SNES controllers. The length sucks, but you can buy 6 foot extensions for <$10 (<$5 if you can wait a month from Aliexpress).

The coolest thing about the SNES mini imo is getting two brand new, Nintendo made SNES controllers. So much better than using some Bluetooth trash.

Speaking of the Switch, a lot of this Raspberry Pi talk makes so little sense to me when just running RetroArch on a semi-decent laptop will get you just about anything retro you could possibly want, with some portability *and* HDMI out to a TV. My laptop is basically a Switch that emulates everything up to around PS2/DC effortlessly, with bonus access to my Steam account. If you're not going to use original hardware all of these other emulation box solutions just feel like novelties to me.

Were you using an actual pi or a pi compatible clone thing? I think the worst part about it is the fact that all of this poo poo has Retroarch underneath and without a doubt you'll have to tweak a config thing somewhere and their menu, GUI, documentation are all literally the worst.

falz posted:Odd. Were you using an actual pi or a pi compatible clone thing? Retroarch is horrible trash, and I can understand why people get upset in this thread when anyone mentions emulating on a raspberry pi. There is a version of Retroarch for android and I tried to make it work for half a day before giving up in frustration! But Android has many other options. I use an emulator front-end called DIG. It sorts all of my roms, downloads cover art automatically, and gives me detailed descriptions of each game. It was 100x easier to set up than Retroarch. I didn't even need to tell it where the roms were it somehow found them all on it's own. Even better you can use DIG to sort roms by various categories. So if you want to see all the fighting games for SNES, or JRPGs, or puzzle games for Gamegear in you collection it will list them. I have found a bunch of cool old game I never knew about thanks to DIG! https://play.google.com/store/apps/...TL-vqjwSfnIWgDg

Does anyone have experience with CRTs, getting true RGB, and all of that on old consoles? I've done a bit of reading on all the stuff you have to do (SCART, transcoding boxes, etc) in order to get the 'best image' on old consoles for US-NTSC equipment, but I'm wondering if going through the trouble of buying all these parts is worth it if I'm only going to play on a consumer grade SDTV (vs one of those professional RGB monitors that are all the rage with retro videophiles). Case in point, I've got a Sega Saturn and Retro Duo that can hook up to 14" Toshiba CRT with s-video and don't know if the boost in quality would be worth the investment on this TV.

Just about any CRT that can accept an RGB input signal will look really nice. PVMs are popular since they're the professional models with BNC RGB connectors on the back for people (like me) who hate SCART. You can also mod a lot of CRTs for RGB by tapping into the on-screen display circuitry which is pretty cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-Vjc8ANSv8 https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=56155

I have found a bunch of cool old game I never knew about thanks to DIG! This looks great, thank you!  Speaking of the Pi though, I do have a lot of fun tinkering with it and all the literal granule stuff like how you can some specific games look better running at 7:8 instead of 3:4 or comparing what's technically more "accurate" to "these colors are closer to how it was on my small lovely TV as a kid." But as I'm getting into playing fighting and action games more again the lag is of course a real turnoff. Between my wife and I we have plenty of actual old games and pretty much every single one either of us would want to play, but space-wise just having a few small emulator boxes setup is such a great space saver compared to increasingly tinkering with/the $$$ to maintain the old hardware. I don't know, we even talk about just selling all of it off sometimes since we have a lot of complete good stuff we never really play anymore. With that in mind, I know anything that isn't the real thing is going to have some lag, but is running roms on an SNES mini an improvement? Or hacking a Wii U? We were just talking about how we haven't even plugged the Wii U in for like four years so that could be fun to mess with. I notice at one point it was hackable by literally just directing its browser to a site to get an "update" and downloading stuff/emulators/whatever, is that still a thing? The biggest pain with the documentation for Retroarch/the Raspberry Pi/Emulation Station station is finding out where it expects poo poo to be and where to find and place your poo poo on it which you'd think would be such a 101-level thing to have clearly set up in documentation. Like once you find that out everything else is simple to look up and makes way more sense, but when I was learning it like 90% of the time I'd find that out by Googling and finding a message board post from a few years prior. You can absolutely get it to the point where it's super smooth and you just drag and drop stuff and it feels pretty streamlined and looks great but you definitely have to go into it with the mindset that will take some time to set up the way you want and it will never be "done." We love ours but I can't imagine it being a good choice for someone if the tinkering part has no appeal.

You can modify a TV get true RGB-in; however, it’s not particularly a plug and play situation. There’s nothing wrong with playing old consoles via s-video on a consumer TV, it looks good even if you don’t have the crispiest of crisp colors and thick scanlines.

Red_Fred posted:What a strange post. FWIW too the SNES Mini is super easy to add new games onto it. The community support is excellent. It's a shame it doesn't look like they are being made anymore, but it looks like there are some really good fakes out there running Canoe (the emulator running on the SNES Mini); some even higher spec'd ones. I used to be a huge tinkerer with PCs and poo poo, but after the Raspberry Pi I hate it now. I had the RPi 3 so it should have run SNES stuff well, but I failed miserably. I'd never do it again. Just thinking about it is giving me a headache.

We love ours but I can't imagine it being a good choice for someone if the tinkering part has no appeal. I'd also add that trying to swap out multiple controllers on RetroArch is a nightmare on retroarch desktop, or at least it has been for me. In theory, I should be able to set up individual controller profiles for my 8bitdo, Mayflash-connected Saturn Controller, Xbox360 controller, and fight sticks so that retroarch instantly recognizes them as configures them to the setups I like per console core and per game if I've specified it as such. Instead, the second I set up one controller on it everything else is immediately wiped. Troubleshooting this was hard as hell and ultimately lead me to a lot of forum posts with people who experienced similar problems and eventually petered out. The best way I was able to get what I wanted was to have to uninstall a bunch of drivers and make sure steam was turned off (It seems like steam's xinput wrappers for the Xbox 360 were causing problems) and I got it a reasonable facsimile of what I wanted, but there was still more tweaking to be done before I just lost motivation. Even then though, I've got to keep using steam with some of the same controllers, so I expect the problem would just rise again eventually. I feel like it's really hard for Retroarch to play nice with other programs (or vice versa) on a multi-use machine. This might be easier on something dedicated like a raspberry pi machine. I got one for xmas so I plan to set it up and see how it works when I feel like tackling another project, see if the multiple controllers work any better there.
