this could be a great project. also the raspberry pi is very affordable. However, i think the best raspberry pi would be the raspberry pi 3 as the raspberry pi 4 requires a different ac adapter with usbc c and also a special hdmi cable so that increases the price of entry.
Even writing a game system for the raspberry pi zero w would be amazing.
- alehyze 5y agoTrue. The fact is that the zero does not have the computing power I want. The 3 does not have USB3 and that is a big issue for another reason. It has to be the raspberry pi 4 :-)
- stuaxo 5y agoBetter to aim for the 4, as I assume it'll take some time to get everything done, the price will come down later on anyway.
- alehyze 5y agoAt the moment there is no "price", as there is nothing to sell :-) I am only looking for people's opinions now
- vizzah 5y agoYou should turn it into the project. I miss that mojo of old simple games. Never thought latency on modern OSes could be a barrier.
- alehyze 5y agoLatency is a huge barrier, and it does not come only from OSes. For example, modern television sets have a "gaming" mode because in normal mode they somehow process the video frames to make them look better, in a way that introduces latency. Someone who works on audio software told me that audio over bluetooth has a very high latency too. There are several bits that can introduce latency in a system. The OS is the part that software developers can adjust and improve.
