Anyone tried this out yet as an emulation machine? How well does it run compared to the 3 model?

Because this thing is tiny so I can carry it from my living room to my bedroom.

I'm so fucking horny for 2.5/10 desperate landwhales. I want to fuck a coked-out tumblr hipster 2.5/10 desperate landwhale aesthetic astrology thot in her lip gloss DSL mouth. I want to cum all over a girl with thick frame glasses and edge dyed bobcat bangs. Everytime I hear a THICK, waist-high-jean-clad braindead choker-wearing slutty wiccan minx say "yikes", "y'all", "big mood", "cancelled" or "this is a bop", I get an uncontrollable urge to run up to her and fondle her d cups and sweaty fat thighs. I want to pour my white olive oil onto her contoured cheeks and neotenous faces and rhinoplatisized nose. I want to finger a 2.5/10 desperate landwhale hoe through her jean overalls while pretending to be interested as she talks about retrogaming and pixel art and how pc gaming fans suck and 8-bit music and nintendo news and 'cabinets' in local game store and rick & normie and homeopathy and nes controllers and taking adder all to pass exams. I'm. SO. Fucking. Horny

what r u trying to emulate? maybe u mite want 2 look into the nvidia shield, but if ur going to the route of ARM SoCs then if I were you I'd check out odroid (i have the XU and C, p happy w both) and if you don't want an ARM SoC then an intel galileo or edison mite b cool 2

I haven't tried the Pi 4, but I do have a Pi 3 b+ and I can share my experience with that if anyone is on the fence about getting one.
Please understand that I haven't played old school games in a long time, so it could have been that I sucked at the games I played but any 2D game I played felt like it had a noticeable input lag. Not a very big one, but sometimes when I wanted to jump or attack an enemy it felt like it took just a split second too long. It could have been the settings, it could have been the controller or even the TV, I don't know.
3D games, specifically PS1 games ran flawlessly, beat Crash 1 and 2 with hardly any trouble, maybe an occasional slow down that lasted for like 2 seconds but that could have been from the games.

no one cares

But how does this thing get power? I have never understood how these Pi work. Do you install windows on it? or does it need some specific OS?

powered by ac adapter

uses linux

I thought you had to soder some shit on to it to make it work? not just plug and play

You could theoretically install Windows for it, but in practice all practical OS choices for it are Linux-based. If you want to buy one and make it into emulator box, you only need this:
retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/

You usually need a 12V power supply. There's actually a lot of shit you can buy for those things, sometimes the Pi comes bundled with them. For example this kit has the power adapter, a case, a memory card, hdmi cable and even a cooler in it.

There's an USB-C port for power. You could also power it through the GPIO pins, but that's a hassle for normal users.

stop using sbc's for games you retards

no, no soldering required unless you're doing some weird DIY handheld or something.

it's not plug n play as you do have to do some minor software/controller setup, but once you do, it's good to go.

but what can it do?

there r shields 4 the rPi, usually meant as adapters 4 different usecases that can vary from computer vision 2 fpga console emulation shields 2 audio/dac shields for the rPi. no soldering required unless ur using a breadboard w/ ur rPi.

It's basically a cheap PC that runs linux. You can use them for a lot of things, like make a small emulator box like the SNES classic or something.

everything is a sbc with just layers of abstraction added to it

play game!
watch movie!
wow!
endless possibility!

i dunno man
an nvdia shield works pretty good and it runs offa android
i wish there was a build engine emulator though so i can play all the build engine games other than doom

>Just move your entire rig to the living room and connect it to the TV with an HDMI cable
>Just buy the officially licensed nintendo classic and stop pirating

The Pi costs like $30, what does the nvidia shield go for?

It's a mini pc, it can do anything a pc can do, but obviously has less power.
Normally you let them do whatever mundane shit you need to do 24/7 nonstop, so instead of leaving your real PC on all the time, you just let your personal use servers in there.

Emulation is an option but it's a waste imo.

Isn't this two separate pasta

Depends on your use case. In personally prefer a Wii for emulation because I can easily output to my CRT, if you dont care about that however then an average PC would suit you much better.
The only real advantage the Pi has is its size and low cost. I wouldn't recommend it.

definitely more than that
i think around 300$ buti comes with a controller and is already set up
just gotta download and setup retroarch and slap in all the roms
