Does anyone game on one of these things?
Do gamedevs here use these to test their games like I do?

i can't imagine using these things for anything other than tinkering
These things are massive pieces of shit that were only worth fricking around with when they were $20.
Now they've become super popular and cost $100+ if you can even find one since their sold out. Literally any other low cost PC is more reliable and better value.
I got mine before all the price gouging began. A 2GB model for 35 bucks. I wanted to use it for small tinkering and testing 3D games on it because I like the idea of making games on underpowered hardware
After looking into it, I found out that I could make games on a PSP so I might use that instead of these.
Prove it you dickless c**t.
>$100+
What the frick, wasn't the whole point of these things that it was a cheap way to learn how to do computer shit?
Yes, but now companies buy them en masse for enterprise use as barebone computers to drive signs and shit and it's impossible to get them for what they're actually worth anymore, they literally cannot keep up with how fast they sell for 20$
>Literally any other low cost PC is more reliable and better value.
Like what?
Do you not understand the meaning behind 'literally any'
Name one(1)
There's a lot of autistic shit you can do to cut down on card corruption like disabling ALL logging but ultimately your card is going to destroy itself regardless so frick it.
don't these use arm CPUs? I wouldn't make games for them
They're pathetically underpowered.
Can someone please tell me what the raspberry pi is for? Is it like a handheld motherboard?
Pretty much a super low spec nad super low power usage mini pc. Pretty good to use as a pihole, file/media server, retro games box, and if you needed to you can surf the web on them poorly. They were originally decent when they were super fricking cheap before normalgays found them but now they are expensive as frick for what they are.
Just look at like a lower end computer, extremely portable and light, main idea is to install some linux shit on it which would boot windows and this would be used for schools to teach PC stuff on the cheap.
Normalhomosexuals ruin everything and started buying them and now the price has been jacked up so they're no longer worth it
Just install retropie and it's a great console for old games.
Should've made the thread in Ganker. Gankertards are mostly computer illiterate and also underage.
>Should've made the thread in Ganker
Only if they wanted 50 replies that are some variation of shove it up your ass.
RetroPie and Batocera are amazing but it stopped being a cheap option the moment they got scalped to death. Sure, anyone can still afford it but at the price re-sellers are asking is just better to buy a chinkheld or a second hand PC/laptop
you might as well buy a shit laptop for 200$ and play vidya on there, like another anon said, 100$ for a shitty linux PC isn't worth it.
I use a few clones of it just for my 3D printers, but i always test the board itself by installing openMW on it before i go and install the printer shit. It's surprisingly stable even in the open areas.
I am still thinking about how can i make it so i can boot out of klipperscreen and launch Morrowind directly on my 3D printer display while still being able to switch back to the control panel if i need to. Would it be possible to connect a physical button to a PI that would, if held it on startup, launch morrowind instead of klipperscreen?
Put a heatsink on a pi3, clocked it to the highest preset it had, and ran up to N64 and PSX games with no issues. Finished Quest 64 and Azure Dreams on it, was fun. I have it connected to a small 15in LCD panel that I hang to the left of my couch so I can just to the left and play while doing shit on my main PC
I did that without over-clocking, the only crashes I've had are due to PS1 bios issues.

It's a small computer, what don't you understand?
the part where you're testing games on equivalent of 20 years old hardware
are you trying to make your games run on computers that only people who *don't* play games still own?
Why wouldn't you want your game to run on everything? It runs games up to Dreamcast perfectly, so it's a great tool for most indie devs.
Why would I want it to run on everything, when it involves making my game use 16 times less resources just to appeal to 0.01% of players
>Why would I want it to run on everything?
So it runs on everything. If you can't see the appeal of that, I can't help you.
I do see the appeal, I'm just choosing to cater to the 99% of people with normal computers.
You do that too, obviously.
time spent on optimizing and cutting back features to fit into specs of an outdated machine could be spent making the game more fun
>the part where you're testing games on equivalent of 20 years old hardware
there was no 4 core cellphone hardware 20 years ago, if you're talking about the first rpi sure but you can do a lot on an rpi4. stop being a moronic Black person
there is like 5 of pies in the whole world 1 in the founder collection, 2 in JeffGeerling possession and other 3 has some shady people behind, they are probably oil magnates.
I own 3 of the 5 then, sorry.
NOOO anon there is bounty on your head right now, no one can own so much power and not be a target.
The raspberry pie is an overpriced and underpowered piece of Shit
The Orange Pi 5 plus is a beast by mini pc standards.
How good does it run OpenMW?
ive only ever used them for low power househuld stuff
like what name 1 thing.
hard mode cant name pihole
Not him, but I have one that I use as a sprinkler controller that adjusts watering times based on the local weather, and a bunch of pi zeroes being used for whole home audio as LMS squeezeboxes. Also had one working as an intranet web server.
seems like overkill, something like this can be done with arduino.
You asked.
They made 50 fantasy consoles but not a single one that actually compiles directly to something like an ESP32, a chip the size of your thumbnail that costs nothing and has more power than the virtual fantasy consoles.
