    Curious to see what it can emulate with the new specs. I have the steam deck now but the form factor or the pi was always nice.

      Well, it apparently can’t do decent 8- and 16-bit anymore, since they’re ditching the composite video jack for hooking it up to a CRT TV. Now it’s only good for newer games designed for LCDs.

        You can still solder an video out to the Rpi 5, there’s just no port. So it’s still possible if you really want to.

          You’ll get at least one frame of added latency in the very best case when using original hardware on an LCD. Combine that with a TV that does its own processing and emulation and you’ll have some noticeable input lag. And yes, I know most TVs have a game mode.

          Interlacing when doing sprite multiplexing looks shittier on an LCD, too. Unless you do blending at the cost of an additional frame of latency.
