Oh yeah

But

But but but

The orange pi pc comes with debian

That's linux

Linux does know how to elulate, right!

Like

Properly

let me check

what console?

I am really unsure about emulation

since I think those are not combiled for armhf which is your architecture

but if you claim people run emus on raspberry pi 2 etc then it must be true, at least possibly

because ARMv7 is armhf'

I think that counts for RPi 2, but RPi3 runs newer arch

A snes

Well, there is something called retropie

But emulators should work

yeah but

you wont find people compiling retropie for Orange PI PC

well from what I heard

and have seen

some people actually did it

but who knows what they did, they could have OC'd 1.2 GHz to 1.6 GHz and left in the kernel with debug code

Not like it matters since you would be playing offline

Yeah

Well

Shit

All I want is a mini comp that I can hook up to my tv and play vidya

Nothing else

Ah I get it

You do?

The VPU/GPU in Raspberry Pi

Is the Broadcome Videocore IV right

Well the ARM old-style GPU, the so-called Mali one used in cheap phones etc

That's not good for emulation

The issue is difference in some important parts of how it works

oh

It's excellent for headless use though

and I'm not saying it's impossible

So

but its not worth all the extra hassle compared to getting one with Videocore IV

In other words, you cucked up

Are you saying the Orange Pi PC is better?

I don't have a raspberry though

I am saying that the GPU in Orange Pi PC is different from the one used in RPi

Never implied I did

Which is Videocore IV

And all the emulator guys are making it for that one

So that's good?

It's good for the RPi that they have a more sophisticated GPU even though I dislike how closed it is and how much hack people use to hardware accelerate

But for you it willl be hard to run emulation

since nobody is going to make support for the Mali one

Any sort of emulation?

you need a class 10 sdcard too

but thats pretty self explanatory

any slow cards in dev boards is hell

remember that you are running the whole thing on a sdcard

which could easily be designed just for storing shit

and being cheap

How big was your shark?

64

Ahhh that's very big

I had hoped it was smaller, might still work we will see

could be it doesnt support that big size too would suck

16gb one has been working fine here

I have a 32 aswell

Well, what do I use the orange pi for then?

If I can't use it for any emulation

Its good for headless use

which is what I do

basically plug it in internet have it run whatever you want

like running chink coupon script

IRC

Media server?

for that use OPi is cheaper than RPi

Okay, Chinklord.

anyway media server theres some hacks you can try yea- you know mpv?

All of the previous stuff you said

Was that in regards to reteopie only

Or all emulators?

Yeah, mpv is great

If you run it in GUI mode

I once tried to playback video using mpv and that worked

Cant confirm how well and what it supports though, these boards shouldnt really be used to playback video

I'd use a real CPU and GPU since software decoding needs far more resources

as for emulators

I get that they are scripts optimized for RPi

that means not really made for OPi

but theres this, I cant tell you if these crazy people left in the OC script, if so you could try contact me and I can tell you how to fix it to make the CPU not go hot af

seems like they posted some stuff on the facebook group which *might* work

Nice

Some hope

Nah, wasn't really thinking of playing back video

Orange PI PC can install RetroPie . but only few emulator work. dosbox , dgen ,I remember

hope crushed

More like

Media server

And install embu
