Good day guys Austin E. And in this one today
I have been keeping something very special up my sleeve now. I've been working tirelessly day and night
Configuring downloading doing everything within my mind
To get the Raspberry Pi playing games it had never done before
Is it possible? I don't know we'll find out now, but I need to say my Raspberry Pi
It runs 1.4. Stock. I've overclocked it to 1.5
I'm using a flirt case God knows who's been spreading rumors saying that float cases don't work
They work like a charm
And it is keep in my little PI as snug as a bug and nice and cool so I can do this kind of performance
without any problems whatsoever
So I'm gonna get stuck into this now
We're gonna see exactly how far we can push this PI and see where it goes so without further ado
Let's get stuck in
One day many moon ago
there was the birth the birth of the Raspberry Pi an
Awesome incarnation granted who is enchanted by the raspberry power foundation, but synthesis
Incarnation questions have been asked can't the Raspberry Pi
Play the Sony PSP
It's a yearning question scholars wondered in every direction to hunt for the quests of the Holy Grail
Surely, it's not got the power to play these types of games
Surely all as we have got is the PSP mini titles well you are wrong my friends
you will be wrong because
There is great news great news bestowed throughout the lands
you have the power you have the power in your raspberry pi as long as
Your your graded to the most recent version, but this this is what you have now this is
real-time graphics rendered through the stock
Raspberry Pi
Top right hand corner. Those are the frame rates. Those are what is taking place right now
Inside the new Raspberry Pi sure it's not an amazing upgrade sure there's lots of things I would have liked but for 30
Goddamn books. This is what we have got we have got nigh on
perfect
PSP titles playing
Better than I ever would expected better than that was on the original PSP
Better than I could have ever dreamed for
those questions we asked they have been answered the Raspberry Pi foundation ever has given this model b+
how they gets an A+ in my eyes because this is the gameplay that I can now have
Using it it has got these caveats at its limitations and will address those in just a second but for now
Embraces beauty this
Castlevania the Dracula X
Chronicles a beast which has been forgotten throughout the decades has now been brought back to life in
studying
realization using higher
graphical fidelity it looks
beautiful in HD
It looks beautiful
Controlling this using my controller on my couch on my 60 inch screen
So thin which even if I link my PSP up to wouldn't look this good
And this is all within the Raspberry Pi
No flickers no slowdown HD resolution
This is how PSP is got to be played so now. Let's take a look at them all
Starting off with something which also is an upgrade Mega Man. What a beauty?
This is now even in its standard form played on the PSP it looked beautiful
However with the internal resolution of the PSP being what?
242 to 70 P blown up to 60 inches it doesn't look good
But having two times resolution put onto the emulator readiness
This is their graphics fidelity that you get to play now to get this running
There is a hell of a lot of bridges
I had to build a lot of hacks lots of slashes and a lot of purpling to get it up to this standard
I will release a video
But hopefully this will become the norm in the build for this emulator in the future
I have done certain things to enable it to take full advantage of the PSP's powers
Something that I'll talk about in just a second, but for now embrace the good looking world of Megaman
It is an awesome game. I love this one, but not as much as Lego
Star Wars the original lego franchise this is
on every system
and I didn't think the Raspberry Pi would have this kind of power, and he shouldn't and to be honest, it's
Almost there almost
but when things start getting
Intensive you start blowing stuff up it gets a little hectic in this kind of environment just running around the corridors
It's all good, but then when the doors blow open
Things start to slow down and one of the things that I had to do to get this emanated to work
So well its frame skin now on a game such as this which is 60 frames per second
It's not too bad because even if it's running half of those frames
It's still running full speed
But at 30 frames per second something that as campers have got used to quite some time ago, so yeah
It's not ideal, but in this kind of scenario. It's perfect the only problem
Is that this game just isn't quite there, so those frame skips are just too much
But this is Crisis Core something which does deal with this emulator very very well
I'm playing on the stock
Ppsspp. I had to build it myself because it seemed that the most recent version that was given to me from the mall stopped version
Of retropie it just wasn't cutting the mustard
I knew it had some power in there to be unleashed and this is what it did
This is the power which was given to me from updating it now again. Hopefully because those have just been updated
There's a lot of switching around with the new build that a Raspberry Pi. It probably just hasn't been self pop made, but now I'm
Hoping that this will become the norm so you get this kind of performance from your PSP
absolutely beautiful
Now the way we got this performance was by hacking and slashing the hell out of
Ppsspp. I had to download the most recent version
I had to do a lot to con fix and I had to do a lot of the settings were just it to take as
Much powerful of well raspberry pie but played the games ever
I don't know a kind of resolution and
Visual experience that I would like to enjoy on a large TV of course we can leave everything in stock
But when you blow that up to 42 inches plus
It just doesn't look right
but luckily with frame skip everything on to minimum and a few little tweaks here and there we got this and
Many other games working to the full potential. Yeah, it's not ideal but again
We are playing this at a 30 book little single board computer something which technically shouldn't even stand the chance that even coming close
To this kind of graphical fidelity and by God did we do a good job
Under the game which is working pretty that well on this set up is Dragon Ball Z shin the Dukan - yep
it's an old favorite of the franchise, and it's emulated pretty damn well using this build, it's
Not the best out of the IP, but I would say well worthy of planar on your little raspberry pi and this
Loco Roco. This is probably the reason why people play the Raspberry Pi stuff
It is breathtaking in its visuals the gameplay everything about it just oozes
quality and
It just makes you feel good play in this game if you haven't played it already make sure you do because this is an absolute
Beautiful game the people who made this put so much attention to detail in turn of all the little
Aspects the sounds of presentation it's now on perfect, and it's so simple in what it does how they manage to?
encapsulate the sound
oh
it does the PSB justice because it was on those little UMD more or less like a mini CD it was able to get the
soundtrack spot-on and
when you get these kind of visuals this kind of quality in the sound it just plays hand-in-hand and
Well just listen to it. It's beautiful
It's games like this that make the Sony PSP still a favorite of mine yep
It's getting old now
But this is what?
ps3 generation and the game show and another one from that generation me and my Katamari
What a game again the visuals the sound the gameplay all completely unique
makes me smile like
The game should it brings you back to you food takes the playability further than what the visuals
Do in most of them more triple-a titles nowadays this one nails it this one absolutely
Nails it and it plays like a dream on this emulator
I didn't think it would be able to push this kind of physics
But it does and another one which goes hand-in-hand with the South or all that kind of stuff space invaders extreme
But going retro now, but this one I don't know it doesn't it kind of ties in the music to the gameplay
It's not the most cutting-edge game is not pushing boundaries or anything, but raw gameplay
Encapsulating you with sound and visuals like this. It's what original retro games did back in the day
They never had the produce
They never had the technology other know how to push the kind of graphics that we have nowadays
But when it comes to the gameplay
nails it nails it every time and that's why people now still go back to the old space invaders and play the retro games and
Still have that amount of love for all classics as what they do with and I'll millions spent on these
big-budget triple A's it's
beautiful
The one Jesus wet have any retro classics, can you update and do it well pac-man on a PSP?
Soundtrack pumping visuals all neo and beautiful looking if you haven't played this make sure you do it's an awesome
adaptation of the original classic they knew how to make games back then and nowadays they know how to push them games
As far as I can push him we're pretty damn close. Okay, then next up
We've got Tekken 6, and this one is you go to option for fighting probably on this emulator running on a Raspberry Pi
Yep
It's written in half speed 30 frames per second that it should be 60 it's not ideal for 30 bucks who can complain
Some games play well running that kind of speed some games
you can really tell it depends literally on what your plane and
Well the power that your little Raspberry, Pi possesses
it's finding that sweet spot in the middle ground to get maximum playability well still being able to
Well get the full realization of the graphics still get a constant framerate and this one it works pretty damn
Well, it's very stable
Something that the PSP did so well is
RPGs this little machine is full of them
And they're in all different types different genres different fields different vibes
But the good thing is playing it through this emulator
It plays them like a dream because most of them are tech space or 2d base story-based the framerate isn't exactly smashing through the roof
Plane these types of games really plays well, so literally every game. That is on here
That is RPG is more or less playable I'm talking about top tier squirt Enix tough
They knew how to make their things and 12th. They did it well
All cosmos and a wonderful royal
Have come on down to earth
Now we're going on to some of the games which I wish for working
But they just start I'm afraid maybe one day when the Raspberry Pi gets a bit more power
Maybe we get a Raspberry Pi for at this stage. They're just not the unfished up. We've got
wipeout I think this is wipeout pure and
again, I am a huge wipeout fan since I got my first Sony PlayStation popping it in the river mates the very first day the
First time we ever played and even of that kind of thing
the whole room was swaying side to side as a spaceship moved it must have been unreal watch there, but
Unfortunately, it's just too much for this PSP
You need constant framerate in order to get the maximum playability out of it
And it just hasn't got it same with Gran Turismo
Ah, what a dream?
It would be to have this room a Raspberry Pi, but the level of graphics and level of framerate it requests
It's just too much. It stood as it slows down too much, and it's just not there another heartbreaking tale is
manhunt - Rockstar with your classics
It's the same of all the Vice cities to be honest and all the gtas on this apart from Chinatown
I think it was they're all just at the beginning when there's not much going on. Yeah sure it's fine
You can walk around
but then as soon as you start getting into the action the framerate just drops far too low and
You can tell them and it really shows when you're playing through the game
Like I said most of it when you're in the corridors. You're running around fine
No problems whatsoever, but the second the very second that you come into contact with anybody
That's gonna start any kind of harm
The framerate just goes crazy and with that goes the control lag and everything that goes along with it it becomes almost impossible
To play through this game, which means that yeah, it kind of looks the part
But it surely doesn't player and again that goes hand-in-hand with this Sega rally on here it almost
Looks the par 4 because the frame rate is half speed and because the game
Twitches so much from side to side you can tell just far too much even of the controls
it just gives you far too much lag which something which gets away with most of the series and
One that I thought would be working what isn't because it's not exactly a twitch II kind of game is
Monster hunter freedom unite this one is more of a low-key walk round get things done kind of game
You know exactly in massive battles with stuff except the odd monster every now and again, but when you're in the outside regions
It's just far too glitchy there's
Artifacts on the screen the I could probably get round it if I mess around and tweak some settings
But in the overall conflict that I used on this one
Welcome!
it's just not there and something which is almost there and a flagship for this system is this it's
Almost almost there, but every now and again you get these little micro stairs
It's not game breaking or anything, but it just takes you out of the immersion of the game and means that for me
It's just there, but just not quite
But something that is his this little foofy I did not think this would run by any kind of standard on this emulator
I tested many games, and I've tested them at many settings this one
I launched to put my well generic config, and I got this
The game is beautiful it plays like a dream even running through this emulator taking huge drops in like
Frames per second performance, it's almost
Unnoticeable in real-time gameplay even going up against some of the biggest beasts as you can see here the frame rate
Yeah, it takes a hit
But is it noticeable when you actually played no not by any means it just seems to suck it all up
And I've got no idea how that little Fred's berry pie is making this kind of magic happen
But it is. I'm not gonna argue at all, but a game like this getting this much performance
beautiful
And that's what it is it's not all doom and gloom. It's not all bad news
There is some great titles that are working and many more could probably pushed even further
Giving me a better time and a bit of effort to actually put in and
Give some of these titles just this tweaking some of the conflicts to make on a per game basis
You could probably squeeze a lot more out of there
But for me pump in many of these games out and just see now they run on a generic
Blow end profile many of them get in top-tier
Performance on this if you haven't played this either by the way Toy Story
what a game on this it res Beto commander on the Dreamcast but a
beautiful representation of the franchise and
Plays like a dream on this emulator and for those of you
Who are ape escape fans yet?
This one runs - I was expecting not - to be honest when I see my third birthday roll
And I knew that this little gem would start popping up and it's the old no classic but for me
It's a fun one in my heart
and that's about it for the Raspberry Pi to be honest it too is a fun one in my heart because
It's brought us back to retro gaming and a reasonable budget
Thirty books and you get literally every system from I don't know Atari
2600 all the way up to PlayStation 1, and it is pretty flawless or almost
Every system that it does along the way sure with this new incarnation
We've now got these kind of games running to this kind of potential is it ideal
No, not by a long shot. I would like a lot more, but for that a lot more
You gotta spend a lot more because getting that kind of performance or wishful performance does cost money
that's when you start going down the old droid start of the game because
That can play PSP very well that can play Nintendo 64 very well
Dreamcast in every game that we've just talked about but you are spending twice the amount of money
And it's that double-edged sword. Are you interested in these games?
I sure AM
But I would like myself to play them on a note roid because that's what it's equipped for it's got the CPU
It's got the RAM. It's got the GPU
It's well equipped for playing these games and squeezing the most out of them for a tiny tiny little system
But again it all rolls down to price. Do you want to spend twice as much to do that? I personally?
Yeah, I would because I'm greedy for that kind of stuff, but then you've got the Raspberry Pi
Factor you have cases third party development going in to so many different things
So just again like I said the case is you can buy a case of Raspberry Pi in almost any
Design any system any kind of setup you desire
It's all just plug and play and off you go
Four other single board marketers at this moment there isn't that kind of option you either gotta make one yourself
Or you've got to go down the route of getting just standard boxed and cases and is that the kind of thing you want
It's all personal choice
It's all down to how much money you want to spend all down to what games you want to play, but this
Incarnation the most recent version of the Raspberry Pi it is squeezed
Every ounce of juicy gameness that it can out of that tiny little board for the tiny little price
That it's asking for so is this a worthy upgrade hell. Yeah, it is a damn
Good upgrade is it worth the money of course it is and more so to be honest
But if you want to get this level of gaming that I would say by self and Oldroyd if you want to make the most
Out of what you've got and make it even more snappier even just in the front ends itself
It's an awesome choice and the fact that it's still at the same price as the old one if you haven't got one already
Buy this new one if you've already got one
Do you want to play PSP games?
And if you do do you want to upgrade to this or do you just want to take the hit and upgrade to?
The old Droid or the tinker board whatever it is that you want the options are out there
The fact that I've just presented this to you now
Maybe open some more ideas and open some more doors. This isn't just about the hardware
yeah, the Raspberry Pi can squeeze a lot for the end of the day it can only be utilized by the
Regulator's themselves if they have more power if they can squeeze any more out of the power. That's in the single board
Computers then yeah, we can go a hell of a lot of fervor, but there's bigger fish to fry
Especially when it comes to the horsepower in these tiny machines
So that's enough of me waffling on guys that is today's video
but I would love love to thank everybody that's made this possible and
Welcome the new members into the simply, Austin Club, hahaha
