How powerful is the Pi 5? This would be awesome if I could get PS2 games on it
uses the Arm A76 cores, ao the smartphone SOC to compare it to would be ones using the Snapdragon 855 (e.g Samsung S10) but neuter its multicore perf becauae mobile uses both big and little cores.
tldr will run some games, but not all. still struggle street
Thanks for the info! Maybe we’ll get there one day. I’d love a hand held ps2 lol
Steam deck 😎
Can you emulate x86 on the pi? I thought that was really inefficient.
Box86/64 and FEX can both run Steam on ARM. Lighter games should be playable on RPi4 and 5.
Oh, that’s very interesting!
I do have a 4 that I use as an emulation machine. I should try some older DOS games, I guess. Thanks!
I’ve been experimenting with both of these and recently wrote up a guide for installing FEX on postmarketOS (as I am testing it on my phone and tablet) but the steps should work for Pi as well.

I also just made a video tutorial/demo on YouTube. I ran Half Life 2 and Tomb Raider (2013). I’m not sure how capable the Pi 4 GPU is in comparison to the Adreno GPUs I tested.
That’s crazy, thanks for sharing.
I like that hardware, too.
