Dude dont you know? I'm a paid shill by PlayStation and the classic console consortium to discredit the pi foundation. **** I've been found out.peytonpeanut2017 wrote: ↑ they didn't have the trade 3 setup in the system at the falls location. the girl had to figure out the total cost then break it down by 3 games evenly to make the trade 3 promo work. i'm sure she did it wrong as some games are actually worth more than the minimum $10. there have been times I've done the trade 3 promo and still had credit left over to use on other things in the store. so i think i might have been screwed this time.....
also, the person who said a Pi 3 had terrible lag with controllers is full of sh!t and that's more of user error in setting up things than the actual Pi 3. i use Pi's exclusively changing some retro systems over to it to include full libraries or when building my own arcade uprights and table tops. and i have NEVER had issues with controller input lag or sound/video issues at all.... this is basically a person who bought one and slapped on emulators after installing emu-station or retro pi and then never went into the settings to fine tune it. you have to fine tune them once you have it all installed and what have you. so i call BS on that statement.
also, to those out of the loop... there is bleemsync v0.4.1 which allows installation of up to 50 games so far without really hacking the system. it's all done off a USB stick. plus you can use a USB hub to use port one to host both PS controllers to have 2 players still. so this is going to be IMHO better than the NES/SNES classic as far as modding... more power and storage so you could put other emu's on it that can't be run on the Nintendo classics. so those who are narrow minded and not looking at the potential and only the actual product are missing out.
included a pic of the receipt for those curious as to how NOT to do a trade in when the system isn't setup.
Of course I've tinkered with the settings. I didn't originally buy the pi to emulate so that tells you I'm not a novice. I never said all games affected and most games will be just fine. But go on YouTube and you'll see there is a definite lag in certain situations especially in multiplayer and don't bother with 4 player arcade games. I'm even anticipating the next iteration of the pi as it should be powerful enough to do n64 properly. I'm just telling people the facts, doesn't mean it's a bad product. Also in a living room setting noone wants to fumble around with a computer chip looking thing dangling with a bunch of wires, whereas the classics lldoesnt look unsightly and can be used by 4-5 year olds with ease and take more abuse. To each their own.
