RecalBox - Rasberry Pi 2 - Emulation

[Viny]

Hi Guys,

I am getting interested in a Rasberry Pi 2 with recalbox emulation software.
It looks pretty good and simple to set up...
it seems with 65 euros you are getting rasberry PI2 / power / 16GB SD card / casing...
you can emulate 8-16-32-64 bits... it s small and hide at the back of the TV...

anybody give a try already? worth the 65euros or not really?
does it run smoothly? what kind of image quality you can get? flatten pixels or emulated pixels?

there a lot of tutorials to find (youtube) and with Pi3 the emulation is a lot better even...

Thanks! ZeMMik.
I have being looking at a lot of them. I cannot really work out if the arcade emulation is good on it and. Mame seems running ok~ish on it.
Wonder also it there is a scanline filter/generator on the emulator.

I have a raspberry pi2 and it runs smoothly.
I think now i got almost 20000 roms on it and the start up is about 1min.

Thanks fr the feedback. I was about to get the pi3 but i went for an xbox with coinops 7 last night...
Would love to compare the 2 options.

Coinops7 is also good. XBOx makes hell of a more noise + more physical space, that is the big difference

I have a PI hidden behind my TV (powered by USB on the TV) - works great (mostly for XBMC)

Clever setup! Just bought a new tv with some USB ports on it. Been looking for something to use them on and completely forgot about the pi I have lying around.... Does Mame scale to 55" full screen? )

Can't wait to get home now...
