The pi ihas not enough power for emulating some consoles/games.

A pi2 emulates up to ps1 w/ astounding precision as they used early ARM processors. N64 not so much. We're on pi4 now tho... 8gb of ram etc... the pi2 can effectively emulate 40+ retro consoles on a sbc. It's only gotten better. N64 emulation is still trash. You'll get mario kart but not goldeneye

That wasn’t his goal. He wanted to build the ultimate arcade station and the pi4 couldn’t achieve that, yet. Maybe the next gen.

I mean it sorta does. Arcade is dead in the US, it's all emulating older shit on mame. A decade plus old x86 architecture will do better than most the current offerings pi have on retro shit.
