I tested PSNow yesterday evening, I installed it with Lutris:

You can try it freely during 7 days.
I played Spiderman 4, Last of US and a lot of others PS1,PS2,PS3 et PS4 games as I was on the console, but on my Linux :), it was very pleasant.

Quoting: IncandescentI can only assume Leguondenet's experiences are not the norm, as PS1 emulation has been pretty solid even on the very weak Raspberry Pi 2 [External Link], which was released 5 years ago. The Pi 4 is many times more powerful [External Link], so I would hope by now it's more powerful than a Pentium 4, while requiring a fraction of the electricity.

I didn't nuanced enough my last comment:
for a PS1 you can use a RPi3 (and even 2 after watching your youtube video). But if you want play PS1 with good speed and graphic quality prefer a Rpi4.
For N64, you can play just some games that don't need a lot of power but in fact don't hope to play N64 games in good conditions on a Rpi3.

Emulators version that worked on a pentium III was compatible with far less games and did not displaying games on a HD screen, was not compatible with all gamepads, with some freeze or not enough speed...I don't call that a good playing experience.

Oh ! I don't have a RPi so i read and learn. But in another life long ago, i used to play PS1 games in EPSX on a pentium 4 @ 2,6Ghz and a GForce 5200.

And your computer hardware costed less than 100 dollars?

Quoting: DragunovI was just a little disappointed with the Raspberry Pi 4 missing USB Boot support and the USB-C power supply issue.
I won't be buying another RPI until USB Boot is working from the factory.

Raspberry Foundation provides for some days a beta firmware for Pi 4 that enables RPi4 to boot directly from an USB drive:

I have a raspberry pi 3b+ 2Go and a raspberry pi 4 4Go, the differences I saw:

- 2go is enough for Retropie/Recalbox. Emulator that will not run enough fast: N64, PSP, PS1, Dreamcast, PS2.
- On Pi 4 you could hope to play PS1 and Dreamcast games at a satisfying speed (have to verify this point).
- 4 Go is necessary if you wish to use a Linux distribution with a graphic environment. With 2Go, you can launch one ou two Windows maximum and the desktop experience is not very fast. Graphic Linux distributions available for Raspberry Pi: Raspberry Pi OS (new name of Raspbian), Ubuntu and Manjaro.
- raspberry Pi 3 supports playing SD video 720
- raspberry Pi 4 supports playing HD video 1080

New Recalbox version for Retropie 4 will be out this summer.

Is it a "Magic the gathering: arena" like game cards?

I don't understand why Wine dev team continue wined3d instead of adopt DXVK?
What is their goal here? What are the differences between them?

I tested several of my dos games and I observed a performance boost and less graphic tearing (SDL 2 positive effects?). But we still need a vsync feature to avoid completely graphic tearings. I saw they are working on it.

This new project looks very good! A lot of new modern features for Dosbox!
