The magical Pi
Phreakwars:
See, here's the thing, I REALLY, REALLY wanted to get into doing Pi arcade's, you look in the archives and you'll find many posts where I was an early adopter to Pi's and have done many projects with them. Hell, I was the guy who rewrote the Carbon theme to vertical and shared it with the Retropie forums, where it has branched off into other vertical themes. I've coded on the Pi4, have done plenty of other projects with them, some on YouTube, but after using them, playing with them, overclocking them, yeah.. they just don't do it for me any more. Don't get me wrong, I like them, just not for arcades. Give me a Mini PC any day. Hell, give me an old Pentium 4 setup with 512 megs of ram over that Pi4. They simply are not the wonderful SBC's that people want to make them out to be. Give it a few years, I'm sure this will change. I'm actually 100% sure it will, but not now.

edit: again... KILLER INSTINCT, RIDGE RACERS, lets see it. FPS showing, pretty easy to record on OBS.
So yeah, convince someone else.

I never said the Pi 4 can emulate ALL the arcade games at full speed. The games you suggest are too demanding in terms of CPU power for the emulation to be at full speed.
The great news is that the Raspberry Pi 4 can emulate perfectly fine A LOT of 80's and 90's games and some 2000's games as well (depends of the emulated arcade platforms).

Well, at least you got to the first step of conceding.. Yeah, maybe not THAT great huh? Perfect for Dig Dug though, and maybe Street Fighter II if you don't mind the slow button response.

Hey dude, I'm not at war with you, cool down a little bit.
The Raspberry Pi 4 is a great system for pretty much all 80's games, many 90's games (like DonPachi) and some very complex 2000's games (like EspGaluda, DoDonPachi and others).
Have fun!

At war? Don't know where you are getting that idea from. I'm just stating what has been known all along about them. You can either accept the consensus and documented proof as done by myself, several YouTuber's like ETA Prime, and many others in the retropie forums, or you can believe what you want to believe even if proof contradicts it. It's a free world.
