Emulator hackers spend a lot of time trying to optimize emulators for the RPi.
This is not a very usefull feature, but it could become useful in the future to preview shaders. Adding an external frontend on top of it makes little sense, since it is an additional layer that can't take advantage of the low level API.įor example, with a frontend like RetroArch, you can display the current game in a small window while navigating the menu. The libretro API is there to separate the frontend (graphical interface) and the backend (the emulators). In this project log I will try to explain why having a pure RetroArch/libretro approach is technically cleaner. We are more and more excited to work on this small project because that's the kind of toys we would have dreamed to own as a child :) They adviced us to start experimenting with the 8Bitdo ZERO model that is described in details here: We don't know exactly yet how we are going to collaborate but they started sharing their CAD 3D files and agreed to provide us with some buttons so we can start prototyping. Since they are experts about that, we are can be sure that the Gamegirl will have the best ergonomy we can afford. Finding good rubber dome buttons on the web is very difficult. We got their contact thanks to the libretro guys who are already collaborating with them.ĨBitdo will help us about the buttons and the case.

8Bitdo is a company based in Hong Kong who produce very polished Bluetooth gamepads that mimic the look of our good old pads. If you are a retro gamer, chances are that you already heard about 8Bitdo. and I are happy to announce that 8Bitdo will be our partner in this project!
These speakers were made by Altec Lansing engineers and delivered unsurpassed efficiency, voice articulation and time alignment and have a very characteristic sound signature. If you have ever in a film theatre constructed in the 1950s, chance is they probably still use the legendary Voice of the Theatre speakers, maybe with some tweeter replacement.
