@@yade1234 as far as I'm aware, among other things, people were complaining about performance and compatibiity. They were expecting the same performance as the pcsx2 but people didn't understood that he was not getting any profit or help for development, basically people tried to force him to work full-time in the emulator when he was developing it as a kind of hobby.

I'm so excited about all of this! Thank you for another helpful awesome video!

Hey ETA, I just wanted to say that I've been watching your videos for years now. My family and I always enjoy your comprehensive videos, pleasant and entertaining videos and informed research. Thank you and looking forward to many more videos!

Other boards do it all fine by now but the Raspberry still has the best support and ecosystem long-term. Really cool seeing those games run in the first place.

Great to see Tony hawks running well with the Overclock 👍🏼

Lee is a gold mine. Loved his Orange Pi videos

Retropie developers will probably include this in their 2024 pi5 release.

So happy to see Twisted Metal in one of your builds! Next Drakan 😊!

Can’t wait my local Pi dealer will open orders for pi5 boards to finlay touch it. Thanks for the video. Appreciate to see overclocking and performance comparison with CM4

Impressive that the "semi-cheap" SBC Pi can run PS2. Many PS2 games are 60fps though. Makes you wonder how much more powerful a Pi 6 will be in 4-5 years from now.

I mean, if you have the money for a mini PC, obviously, the mini PC will be a better experience.

I was a real RP enthusiast, but fell off the wagon when it was (and still) impossible to get a Pi4 or a CM4. The new generation of mini pcs with intel and AMD processers just smoke these for not much more money, and are everywhere. It's a hard sell to get me to go back, but for those that choose to stick with them I hope they keep supplies adequate this time around. I still like the Zeros for tiny tasks, and for security cams, but a Minisforum PC can do so much more in almost the same footprint.

On the Raspberry Pi 4, I've found that with the latest version of AetherSX2 a combination of lower EE Cycle Rate AND EE Cycle Skipping makes a big difference. But only changing one of the two did nothing.

I was looking forward on you doing this on the raspberry pi 5.

I hope the ps2, GameCube, ds, wii and psp emulation can be polished soon enough, I’d love to have a whole archive at my fingertips.

Dude. Your critical but honest review makes me think you are legit.

Do you plan on doing any comparison benchmarks on the Raspberry Pi 5 vs the Orange Pi 5?

I'm happy already that with PI5 I will be able to emulate some of the heavy arcade machine games, live Cave CV1000 games. Anything that comes more is a bonus.

I didn't know that AetherSX2 also has a Linux appimage, that's awesome. I thought it's only for Android and that the development has even ceased.

All the dev stuff aside, I would just get a mini pc. :D But this would be great if Nintendo wanted to bring out an N64 mini with a board just like this one. :0

Well, we can't expect miracles out of an A76-based SoC. Then again, the Raspberry SBCs have the most dedicated and active community BY FAR. So I'd be willing to bet that once EmulationStation has an RPi5-exclusive release, results will be much better than currently. By the way, why are you not using NetherSX2? Does it make no difference at all?

With the price of a pi5 with psu and case ($160 aud) may as well get a N100 with 16gb and 500ssd for $190.

This gets me more excited way more that the release of ps5 did.

Seeing any ps2 game run on a pi is kind of wild.

Going to be nice once they write the GPU drivers for this!

Performance looks great, can wait for optimization on the vulkan drivers

Theres a new version of ps2 emu called nethersx2 its a redeveloped aether that is way more focused in its emulation

Buy it for what it can do today, anything else is icing on the cake!

This video after one about some adlink pocket gpu? This is about to be interesting.

Ill Wait For the PI 6 NEXT !!! 😁😁😁

Hey ETA,just noticed under the neofetch prompt on cpu actually shows bcm2835(for raspberry pi1) instead of the bcm2712 Soc(for raspberry pi5) maybe due to the kernel loading the wrong driver module thus the low performance.

I'll tell ya ETA, no budget emulation build/sbc/mini pc runs better than that hp elitedesk 800 g2 mini that you tested a few years ago. I grabbed one of those, and with the exception of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, Metal Gear Solid 3, the god of war games, and a couple gamecube games, it basically runs everything up to gen 6. OG xbox still doesn't have great emulation so that's not really a possibility at the moment, but for under $200 US I have a system that can run basically anything pre-PS3/360 era. It'll be my go to emulation device until I buy a new daily driver PC, which might be soon.

I have the Pi 3B in my Arcade1up. I have been waiting for a new Pi to come out to replace it. I would love to put N64 Killer Instinct Gold, WrestleMania, or Mario Kart in my arcade with something that supports it. Do we know if the Retropi image will work with the Pi5? Also will these games be supported with the Pi5?

Finally i can now play classic GTA games on RPi

Pi5 has a very decent hw for ps2 emulation once they get vulkan driver's properly on it. We don't know if the gpu hw will be able to deliver the features aethersx2 vulkannrender demands though. Nevertheless, the gpu side will be tough. Also, not very power efficient. I would just get a phone/tablet.
