    :what:

    PSP has one of the best emulators projects I've ever seen, PPSSPP. Managed to make huge progress really fast back in the day without any Patreon bux and for the past six or seven years, both on Windows and Linux on different PCs, every time I wanted to replay a PSP game I used PPSSPP without any issues.

    I mean, maybe I've been lucky or things have changed recently and the project has done retarded shit, but this is genuinely the first time I've seen anyone on the internet say that PSP emulation is crap even if it's just rumours they heard.

    Looked into it more. PSP emulation on retropi is dog shit and is what I was looking at because that's originally where I wanted it. They may not use ppsspp though for whatever techy reason. The new raspberry Pi is strong enough for it, there's just some fucky shit happening

    This was also like 3 years ago so who knows how things work now

    Retro Pi is based upon the Raspberry Pi hardware, which started out with 512MB of RAM. The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B has upped that to 1GB to 4 GB models, but Retro Pi was initially programmed for the older 512MB version. This is fine for emulating NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis games. You start running into problems when you are trying to emulate games from the PS1 generation and newer systems. It's not that Retro Pi is "shit" as you believe. You are using the wrong tool. Retro Pi is fine if you want to emulate games on a easily portable emulator, since the Raspberry Pi is lighter than many smart phones and only needs a cable for the TV, hard disk for storage, and a controller with a USB connector. If you want to emulate later games on a laptop you should use something like RetroArch or emulators built for specific systems. For PSP emulation, use PPSSPP like Luka-boy suggests.

    The PPSSPP is one of the most optimized/smooth/lightweight emulator that I have seen in recent years.

    The best Linux RPG is WINE. It allows your Linux machine to roleplay a windoze one well enough to fool most windoze RPGs.
