  • Super Mario 64 on the Web
    I agree! I picked up [RetroPie](https://retropie.org.uk/) again during the pandemic. I'm sure many did the same haha. That's when I learned [N64 emulation is difficult](https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Optimization-for-Nintendo-64/). Well done. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
  • Plug and play retro home console suggestion?
    I would have thought a well set-up Raspberry pie running RetroPie in a nice case (e.g. https://thepihut.com/products/superpi-4-case-for-raspberry-pi-4) and a couple of decent controllers would be the best thing. Source: 5 months ago

  • Can't get Mesen (NES) Emulator to work with any NES games through Playnite. They work fine if I boot them manually in Mesen. Any ideas?
    Try to remove the emulator in Configure emulators,and import it again, it could work. You can also try different emulators like Nestopia or FCEUX (the one I am personally using). Source: about 2 years ago
