My retropie 3b+ can NOT push the N64 emulator to work with GoldenEye. It comes up like a 386.

They were snappy at the time, especially when you got the Turbo Button! I could load up Commander Keen off a floppy in mere seconds.

Ayeeee. You can get Keen on android too now if you want to relive it!

Turbo button was trouble too. Poor Pac Man went at about 1000x speed on our system.

That's what happens when you tie game speed to the cpu clock

I remember my brother and I would screw with each other by hitting the turbo button when the other least wanted it. We took turns based on lives, so the sooner they die, the sooner I get to play!
