Odroid U3 / N64

Hey Devs

First of all Great Work! Lakka looks awsome and I hope it gets as much Users as it should!

At the moment I hav a Pi 2, and Id like to take it out to friends and play some Mariokart tournaments. But the Pi 2 does not support 4 Players (Retropie).

Now I saw that that you got a Odroid XU3 (http://www.lakka.tv/articles/2015/04/09/new-hardware-odroid-xu3/) Do you think about the Odroid-U3 too? I think It would just have enough more power to run the n64 fully (Correct me if im wrong)

But the N64 is not fully available anyway on anything but PC - How is the Progress going there?

Thank you for the Infos.

Hi, the Odroid-C1 can run mupen64plus at playable speed now. It’s cheap.

I posted a video on youtube about this, see on lakka website in the news section.

The RPi2 has 4 ports, isn’t it? why isn’t it possible to support 4 players on the RPi2?

At least it does not with Retropie, I didn’t test it myself but that’s what I read from a Test. As I understand 4 Player needs more power, so if 4 player try to play the screen goes black.

So for now there are no plans for the U3?

The thing ist that the U3 ist still cheap, if you compare it with the XU3. It is kind of a mix between the price of the Pi and the Power of the XU3.

Ok as I just saw in the Documentation, the U3 actually has a GPU that is worse than the C1. So that might be the thing :confused:

I’m still interested in porting Lakka to the U3.

Hardkernel already supported us by sending a free C1 and a free XU3. Once these two ports get stable (need to fix the vsync issue) I will ask them if they can donate a U3.

Has anything ever come out of this? I knew it’s been over a year, but I own a U3 and I’d love to have Lakka on it some day.

If you update to the latest version of Lakka, you’ll see that it’s using a new emulator called Glupen64. It shows significant performance benefits over previous emulators. On my Pi3 games went from ~50% speed to ~95%-100% speed. Can’t comment on other devices but this might help you with your Pi2.

@Galebourn not yet sorry
