If you were to buy a Pi and all the games, wouldn't that be more expensive than NES/SNES/N64 Classic?Raspberry Pi you can have EVERYTHING.

Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong Racing, and Wave Race 64 all run fine and control good with a 360 pad. Mario 64 has some graphical oddities every once in awhile but generally works and controls fine as well. Can't say I've tried many more than that.Does n64 work that well on retropie?? Last I read, its still kinda slow, and a good amount of n64 games don't run well....or am I wrong?
See and that's the niche area for these classic consoles. Some people just want it to plug and play. Plus I don't want to play every game I simply want to play the popular titles. I don't have that much free time in my old age. I just want to get a sesh in for as long as I have and then get back to life.Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong Racing, and Wave Race 64 all run fine and control good with a 360 pad.

I know there are wiki pages out there with the best settings to use for the N64 emulation, I just haven't dug too deep with it yet.
Aren't people hacking the full Nintendo (NES) catalog into these things?
I wouldn't pay $250-$300 for one -- $60-$80 always seemed fair and a decent value.
I haven't even researched how they were executing this, just that they were.How much you want to bet the new release loses this "feature."
Exactly. A lot of people just simply want something that works. No messing with settings, no building, no looking through wikis, no finding updates on a forum, just get home from work turn it on and play for a bit. I'd pick up an SNES mini if I could get my hands on one for little effort and not more than MSRP just for that reason. I'm not incapable of building something, could have done so ages ago if I gave enough of a crap, I just don't.See and that's the niche area for these classic consoles.

My megaman collection only sees half the included 6 games get any play time.

I'd do it if it was easy. Thunder and Lightning is one of my favorite games from my late teens and early twenties.

or you buy a real nes and a flash cart and load roms. Roms are easy as cake to get and anyone can put files on a SD card.
Sony should release a PS1 classic and crush them.
Ffvii on a mini console? Yes please.
I'm holding judgement until I see if they actually pull it off. If the snes has the stock needed I'll be happy as I kinda want one. Hell I'll buy a nes classic next round if I can find one easy enough.
I had said this before but what I'd love is for them to release something based off say the wii or wiiu hardware(without the screen) that is dressed in a retro box. Say make it look like a gamecube and just not have the top open. Let it be a retro box where you can buy controllers(including a new version of the wavebird) and have a virtual console store. Have single games and game packs(so let us buy the nes classic pack).
Using that hardware they could run virtual console gamecube games without issue and pretty much everything before. Only issues would be later sega hardware like the saturn(which emulation isn't great for) and the dreamcast. I think the hardware could be done cheap enough to get people interested and once they have it many would buy extra retro games.
I meant to ask how much it would cost to do the Pi+Roms, if you started with owning nothing... I mean legally, of course...He said he already owned all the games and didn't want to lug them around. I am saying that if you want a full collection, the N64 Classic is not going to have that. Same with all of the other ones, clearly.
