I am currently running Lakka on an old Dell Inspiron N5110 laptop as my mane emulation station. This computer is "on the blink" and may need to be replaced in the future. I'm wondering if a Rasberry Pi 3 with Retropie will run emulation for systems going thru to the Sega 32X at full speed. Can anyone chime in? Am I better off going the Rasberry route vs. just getting another similar used laptop as a dedicated emulation machine?

Well instead of option 2 or 3 above I rescued an old Dell Inspiron laptop that was sitting collecting dust and got Lakka up and running on it with my entire Genesis library, among other consoles, connected via HDMI to my 43" Vizio LCD. Earlier today I compared the emulated version of "MUSHA" vs. my original cartridge - if anything the game plays better off the PC - just smoother.

I'm a bit interested in their new handheld with the SD slot.

Anyone have a good instructional page or video on how to soft mod the Wii?

^Thanks! How would the Rasberry 3 compare in performance when emulating SNES/Genesis games vs the Retro Freak?

I am a huge Sega Genesis fan - I recently purchased a 36" Sony Wega Trinitron TV for $20 and have my Genesis and Saturn systems currently hooked up to it. I'm also considering the following devices:
1. Mega Everdrive Cartridge - so I could essentially play the entire Genesis/MD library on the original hardware connected to the CRT.
2. Retro Freak Console - emulation of Genesis and other cart-based systems. Unfortunately no MAME support.
3. Rasberry Pi - dedicated mini computer with RetroPie software - run all older cart based systems/games (and MAME!!) via emulation hooked up to my flat screen HDMI TV.
Of the 1-3 above - which "works" best and makes the most sense? I'm a little overwhelmed by my choices but welcome the challenge.

^Thanks. Trying to decide between a Retro Freak and/or a Mega Everdrive.

If I load a rom file onto the RF internal hard drive - say a Genesis ROM with a file ending of *.md - will the system read this as a megadrive/genesis file? Or would the ROM file need to be renamed as XXX.bin?

Rasberry Pi vs. Dell Inspiron N5110 for Dedicated Emulation Use

Turned out the only thing wrong with my Inspiron was the power adapter cord - easily replaced and have to say it's a great emulation machine with Lakka running everything pretty smoothly - with the exception of some sound issues on Jaguar games.
