Holy fucking shit. Link please. Right now!

Those look nice, but Iām a sucker for SEGA 
Thanks! Iāve been busy watching vids of guys installing Pi 3ās and Pi Zeros into this hub. Man it is tempting!

I have a real issues with lakka
neogeo games run perfectly fine butā¦ cps2 games have tons of input delay (tho speed is kinda ok)
any suggestions? 
What Pi?
2, 3, zero
I run on a 3 with a 128GB card no problems
I have not messed with Lakka but, if itās anything like Retropie or Recallbox, then there are several emulators pre-packed that you can use.
For example, CPS1 stuff runs great on my Retropieās mame but if they didnāt? I could always try to play them using the FBA Emu, which itself comes with two EMU engines i can select between.
Also unlike CPS1, CPS2 stuff doesnāt seem to work at all in my Mame. So i have them playing using FBA instead. Which one of the FBA engines doesnāt work but, the other does, and works very well.
So try a different emulator.
Itās always been terrible even when it was new, nothingās changed itās lazy, but the problem is there are almost as many different pieces of arcade hardware as there are games. Go dedicated emulator when you can Mame when you canāt.
Just type:
Sega Genesis USB hub.
Theyāre only 20$ too, itās amazing.
These look like shit no offense.
Plus you need a 4 slot USB hub anyways for a Pi Emulator machine.
The Genesis USB hub is the same size as the NES mini, matches the quality and just so happens to perfectly JUST fit the Pi3. I think Sega knows something.
Itās not the greatest but, Mame is a Good emulator that plays countless games very well. And when it comes to programs that try to be a jack-of-all-trades? Itās easily the among the best in that regard.
I donāt get Darksakulās irrational hate-boner for it.
Well I just looked at the new FBA list. It supports a ton of games now. Hopefully better quality.
I actually hate Darksukul as a person he constantly trolls me, but I agree with him here, Mame is pretty shitty. Even something as popular and common as X-Men Arcade is not emulated properly- the music is FM only, the sampled lyrics donāt play or play very low, games have graphical issues or missing speech or sound errors, last time I messed with Mame and to be fair this was 8-10 years ago, games have screen tearing and input lag as well. Some games run too fast some too slow, ugh.
Final Burn Alpha was way way way way way way way way better, but only did CPS1-3 and Neo Geo. Which you would expect, thatās 4 pieces of hardware vs 1,000 pieces of unique hardware. Iām sure Mame has gotten better but then again, model 1 emulation is still broken so who knows.
Some of us are just anal. It does play almost every arcade game and most well enough. But back in the day you would want to go with dedicated emulators whenever possible. Maybe things have changed?
Whatās hyperspin? Is that any better than Mame? Or is it even an emulator, maybe just a front end (I think itās ugly if itās a front end).
Ok I often bitch about how the future sucks because thereās no anti gravity and we still use oil for cars and are ultimately doing nothing but fucking eating and in hampster cages for green paper to do these things. Iām a pessimist.
But Iāve got to say. The entire PS1 library can now fit on 1 512GB Micro SD card the size of my pinky nail. 1300+ games. Put that in your pipe and smoke that for a second.
I bet your could probably squeeze the Saturn and N64 onto that same card. Fuck me sidewaysā¦
Wait letās expand on this. I just realized that gaming history from the Atari to the PlayStation/N64/Saturn era + all arcade games will fit on a single 512GB mini SD card, and run perfectly on a computer the size of a cell phone inside a tiny Sega Genesis shell LOL THE FUTURE IS NOW.
And just think, when the Pi 4 or 5 rolls around, and SD cards are packing 4TB, you could expand that to PS2/DC/XBOX/GC era, DS and Wii as well probably LOL. Iām just going to become this monk that roams the earth carrying videogame history in his pocket looking for random people to play and explain each game to them. This is going to be such a fun project and everything I need will cost less than 100$. Genesis USB hub=20, Pi3=35, SD card=40$.
I just downloaded a updated 32bit version of M.A.M.E. on a lark, see what changed.
They updated all their documents and copyrights as of this month. Whoopi dooā¦
But I donāt care about that, I care about the core programming and how M.A.M.E. does Arcade titles. I would test more, but I donāt feel like spending a few days re-downloading non-corrupted, unaltered Roms that are compatible with the current M.A.M.E. From what I found, old 70s up to mid 80s run fine. Nintendo VS system Roms are still way off, So is Neo Geo. Tetris Grand Master Challenge II Plus works like the real thing so thats a Bonus. But M.A.M.E. still has issue with Capcom, Konami, Neo Geo and the like. Turtles in Time still has issues where the M.A.M.E. TMNT Turtles in Time audio is worst than Higain Emulating the SNES version.
And the SNES version of the game has inferior sound and graphics to the Arcade.
They āupdatedā binaries and system files this last February, but its mostly to include more systems under itās emulation Umbrella.
Instead of fixing issues with itās spotty arcade emulation support they added shit electronic toys/handheld games and 80ās microcomputers like the Amiga. There are far better Amiga emulators than M.A.M.E.
Integrating the M.E.S.S. sister project into M.A.M.E. was a mistake, I donāt need M.A.M.E. to be a all in one stop. There are front enders which do a far better job of tying together different emulators under one UI.
99% of the people who download M.A.M.E. just want to play arcade games. The M.A.M.E. team needs to laser focus on their own specialty and not try to be a Jack-of-all-trades.
There are parts of M.A.M.E. that has not been updated (and needs to be updated) for 20 years now. Including itās basic interface which was fine for DOS, but is shit in Windows.
Mame a good catch all for when their isnāt a dedicated Emulator, but for particular key systems like CPS1,2,3, Neo geo, Sega hardware, ect you are far better off with something else.
A good program to download is RetroArch, RetroArch in it self isnāt a emulator, its a frontend that use other emus as cores.
MAME has a heavy backend, try Retroarchās NeoGeo and CPS2 cores. There are other cores as well, but those seem to run well. I was able to play those on the Wii despite all its memory access limitations.
Sega, Konami, SNK, Capcom (et al) ā> FBA
There are multiple flavors, and they all taste great.
Accept no substitutes!
RetroArch kicks more butt than just on Pi. I use it on Windows too with my LaunchBox setup.
RPI3 with a 16GB card, almost 10GB free. itās just the cps2 roms that have a stupid input delay compared to neogeo and snes ones
Hey so,
Iāve never owned a Pi.
I have very basic questions. Like how do I even get started? Is there even an operating system on it? Or am I gunna have to type commands and shit like itās 1989 and ms dos lol.
All Iām using it for is emulators thatās all I care about, I have all the gear ordered (except the Sega Genesis case, fucking sold out everywhere they want 50$ now for it fuck that Iāll use a plastic shell or nothing).
Emulators and Kodi is what I want on it. Are there tutorials out there someone could link me to a good, super simple one for the things I wanna do?
There are a lot of CPS2 emulation options Iām sure there are lag free options in fact Iām sure of it cause I used to play CPS2 and 3 over GGPO with no input delay so. Forget what I used.
Nope.
Yup.
In that order. 
Youāll need to download an OS, load it onto an SD card, and plug that in before you can use it.
Not sure if thereās any OS that fits this use that has a full GUI, but the last one I used was all command-line.
