Just checked, looks like Vulcan under DRM on the Pi4 works, and at least some people in the Libretro ecosystem have already messed around with it, so this could benefit Lakka. Awesome. Maybe this'll mean getting to play with some decent CRT shaders on the Pi without an unacceptable performance hit, and/or getting to make better use of Retroarch's advanced input lag reduction features.
- willis936 5y agoCRT Royale running 60 fps in a sub 15 W machine would be impressive. 1080p would be nice, 1440p would be great, and 4K would be best. The pi4 can output 4K60, but I really doubt it can shove through that many simulated pixels.
- klysm 5y agoIt’s still pretty astonishing to me that it can squeeze 4K60 out at all.

- handrous 5y agoI had decent success with PS1 games on the Pi2, which surprised me. Most games I tried ran well. I haven't tried on the Pi4 but I assume it's really good, based on that. PS2 might even work well, there. N64 was another story, but N64 emulators have improved a bunch since last time I tried. I think the only game I found that played acceptably on the Pi2 was Mario64. Most of the rest were slideshows or didn't run at all.
