Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

I have Batocera on my Rapbperry Pi and I occasionally like to play some N64 games. So roughly late 1990s. I also tested the Apple 2 emulator and played either Apple Panic or Lode Runner, I can't remember. That'd be early 80s but I just did 2 or 3 levels.

N64 runs ok on pi? Since when? Which PI?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

With my 3b some of the N64 games run, some don't. I just play the ones that do. There are options to change the emulation backend. Sometimes that helps. Sometimes after an update things change...

I stopped buying Raspberry Pis with th 3b. I'd recommend one of the $200-$250 MiniPCs from Amazon instead. Or an old laptop or computer.

I also have Batocera on an USB stick and run it on my laptop. That runs everything but has the downside of not being attached to my TV... So yeah. I wouldn't say it runs "ok". But I finished Super Mario 64 for the first time in my life on that RPI 3b. 😄
