Raspberry Pi 3 Dreamcast Emulation - 12 Dreamcast Games Tested with RetroPie 3.6 (Reicast)
Raspberry Pi 3 Dreamcast Emulation - 12 Dreamcast Games Tested with RetroPie 3.6 on the Reicast Emulator.
Hey Guys, Raspberry Pi 3 is here with a faster 64bit processor running at 1.2GHz. I have overclocked mine to 1.35GHz to test out if it has the power to run Dreamcast games at a playable level. It is worth pointing out that this little guy does get hot compared to the Pi 2, so it is definitely worth investing in a heatsink if you decide to pick one up.. maybe you could overclock higher!
To overclock the Pi3 you need to do the following:
Manually edit the /boot/config.txt file and edit the following line:
arm_freq=1350
Also add these two:
over_voltage=6
sdram_freq=500
Careful though as the Pi3 gets hot!
Below is a list of the games I tested and timestamps to where the
emulaton begins. Hope you enjoy the vid!
(Whoops, there was 12 games but Street Fighter 3 Third Strike seems to have been cut out of the vid! Only 11 for now)
