Performance

  • Most games should run fine on ANY board up to the Sony Playstation. Things get hit and miss on Dreamcast, MAME, N64 and PSP. Games like Super Mario 64, Mario Kart, Zelda OOT (N64), Ultimate Ghosts n Goblins, LittleBigPlanet, GTA Vice City (PSP), Crazy Taxi, Sonic Adventure and Shenmue (Dreamcast) are some examples of games that run fine with a few minor issues. Conker (N64), God of War (PSP), Sega Saturn and 3DO games are NOT PLAYABLE.

  • Nintendo DS is expected to work in the future. Unfortunately the only compatible emulator out there (DraStic) is closed source and was only ported to Raspberry Pi. Its developer (Exophase) was already contacted regarding a port for SDL/EGL without RPI dependencies.
