Microcenter right now is the best place to buy the Pi itself. Its $30 right now there compared to the 35+ on amazon or anywhere else.

I then buy this kit for the case and power supply.

Get yourself an SD card in any variety you like. Little bit cheaper than a canakit on Amazon and comes with more as well.

Or I can set it all up for a fee.

Once more...

NES Classic Edition returning to stores in June | fox8.com

The NES Classic Edition and SNES Classic Edition are returning to stores on June 29, Nintendo of America announced this week.

 

[Mook]

oh lawds, n64 mini rumors starting to crop up. Nintendo filed a trademark or some shit for it apparently.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Can't wait for N64 classic!

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Yeah its called a raspberry pi

 

[bnr32]

Yeah its called a raspberry pi

i don't know what Pi you are using, but it can barley do some titles for N64.

 

[Mook]

Dont question Matt, he is all knowing.

I will be in line. This will be the thing to get and will be worth it.

Can't wait for N64 classic!

Same.

Yeah its called a raspberry pi

No. Shut up. You have either never tried to emulate N64 on a RPI or have never played N64 games on a N64.

i don't know what Pi you are using, but it can barley do some titles for N64.

Even the 3B+ cant do games 100%

Pfft works fine with the 3

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Ive done it bro

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

I got 4 n64 usb controllers. Bring it

Conkers bad fur day.

Lets see it run full speed with your mythical RPI that must be touched by the hand of god.

 

[Mook]

You guys have awoken the beast.

 

[Fish]

What beast? The one that says a RPI does N64 games cause people can play Mario Kart 64 ALMOST at full speed? Or SM64 ALMOST at full speed?

I wanna see some Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, or conker at full speed.

 

[Mook]

I dont think anything will run perfect dark at 100%, it barely ran at 60% on the n64

 

[Fish]

Both PD and goldeneye had frame rate drops with huge firefights. Now imagine those drops, just trying to walk towards the first bad guy in the first level at the dam. Then it goes slower when you shoot.

But hey, RPI does N64.

 

[Mook]

Goldeneye ran like a Xbox One X game compared to Dark

 

[Fish]

True. It was smoother. I just remember friends and I going HAM with proxy mines and just explosions everywhere. Were barely able to move.

 

[Mook]

Everything slowed down, the game, the sound, everything.

 

[Fish]

I think this is why I am not too critical of games for their flaws. We are talking about a game that is 18 years old because of issues, but was a good game.

Either way, if they make a N64 mini, they will have to get those licenses to even put games like Goldeneye or Perfect Dark on them. Which IIRC is owned by Microsoft since they bought rare. However, the rights to James Bond games are owned by Activision IIRC. So who knows who Nintendo has to talk to just to get Goldeneye.

And lets be honest, there are really only 20ish N64 games that are worth a damn.

Ill still take the night off and will wait in line though.

Ohh, and Im going to get a NES classic when re-released. Cause I wants.

And that isnt even the b+

Conkers looks pretty damn playable to me...

[Fish]

You basically proved my point. The god damn music stutters along with frame rate drops.

Thats on an overclocked 3 and a 3B+.

The + does a little better, but its not perfect. Nintendo mini consoles are pretty damn consistent with retro hardware.

Also, the 3B+ and 3B share the same GPU. The bump in CPU power helps, but the GPU needs to be updated to really help.
