The Raspberry Pi 5 is a $80 Gaming Beast #piday #raspberrypi
The Pi 4 is, reportedly, pretty good at emulation; generally maxing out at N64 and Dreamcast. The Pi 5 ramps up the capabilities a few generations. Modern Vintage runs through emulation on Game Cube, Wii, PS2 and more.
4 years after the release of the Pi4, here comes the all-new Raspberry PI 5. This new iteration of the Raspberry Pi promises more power in a size that’s as compact as ever, while still keeping the price affordable. Powered by a quad-core Broadcom ARMV8 Cortex A76 processor clocked at 2.4 GHz, the Pi5 is claimed to be 250% faster than a Pi 4. In todays episode we take a closer look at the performance of the Pi 5 with modern emulators including Nintendo Gamecube, PlayStation 2, Dreamcast and more!
All tests were run with the Bookworm OS running RetroPie except for AetherSX2 which was run using Debian OS.
