Man, I wish my Pi 3 could emulate Goldeneye almost perfectly. Then I wouldn't have fried two N64 boards trying to portablize 'em.Why do we still make n64 portables when the pi3 can emulate it almost perfectly and play mutliple consoles?

Software isn't perfected yet, and no handheld device (not even the gpd win) exists that can handle it well. As of writing this, switch doesn't have VC, and even if it does get it it won't have the complete library, or the ability to run modded ISOs.I mean, why do we make gamecube/wii portables even though the Nintendo Switch is available and Dolphin emulator exists?
N64 emulation is awful. Not even top of the line PCs can emulate n64 almost perfectly because the N64 is so janky and nobody has cared enough to perfect emulating it.Why do we still make n64 portables when the pi3 can emulate it almost perfectly and play mutliple consoles?
Because I hate myselfWhy are you putting a wii in an altoids tin?
No argument there, but why remake something when a better, professional injection molded solution that does exactly what you want and more can be purchased for less? Its the same reason I argue for the gamecube portable vs wii portable: Why spend more money and do more work for an inferior end result? theengineer has said that he struggles with both funding his portables and case making, so him wanting to spend more to make his own case doesn't make sense to me.The answer is and has always been: because we can. That's what the hobby is about. Doing things for the heck of it.
I have a love for building, same as everyone else here.....They make those and sell them for less than what you put into building a portable. That's what I sent a picture of, although I believe that can also play snes carts
You guys are right when you say that emulation is not perfect. But I can still use my gaming laptop to emulate most n64 and gc games. My point is most of the projects we do don't necessarily make sense.why remake something when a better, professional injection molded solution that does exactly what you want and more can be purchased for less?

I definitely agree with this. I've learned more here in the last year than I have in school by quite a bit.portables are not an investment but a way to develop our electronics and engineering skills.
Because i want to get better.... I dont want to be shit at casemaking forever so why ignore it?Software isn't perfected yet, and no handheld device (not even the gpd win) exists that can handle it well.

Yeah, but if/when you complete it, you're going to get so much love, so it'll pay off in the end.Because I hate myself
