ssmoker Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Hello All, I couldn't find after searching & there are no FAQ topics on this so if this has been asked before my apologies. Can you run Launchbox on a Rasberry Pi 2 or 3 within Kodi? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 It has been covered a lot in the past, but LaunchBox and BigBox are only available on Windows. There are plans for future releases to other platforms like Linux and Mac, but those are in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentaiBrad Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Of course. Our team is just Jason and myself, and he's the only coder so stuff like this just takes a while. We really want to be on those platforms it will just take time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CADScott Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 The Raspberry Pi, even the 3, really does not have enough power to emulate smoothly anything beyond N64 / PSX era. I have done a lot of experimenting with the Pi and have always gone back to using a PC for emulation due to frustrations with inconsistent performance. Even a low end PC will run rings around an embedded platform for emulation, and a PC also gives you more choices of individual emulator and controller. Nothing better than playing the GameCube version of Mario Kart (Double Dash) with my kids, and having it in hi-def and run a solid 60fps!

SentaiBrad Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Oh yea certainly, but the question was more about our multi-platformness, of which we have none. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDave71 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) So I am looking at the Raspberry Pi 3 and Windows IoT Core. 1. Will launchbox and big box work? 2. will Visual Pinball and Steam work? Edited March 29, 2017 by NJDave71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDave71 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 too bad would be nice to make this portable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately although it has windows in the name, its not really windows as such. Its a hugely stripped down version and I believe is command line only.

neil9000 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Also the raspberry pi is a ARM chip, so even if it did run windows, none of the programs would be compatible with the CPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Also you could install moonlight on the raspberry pi if you have a NVidia gpu in your pc and stream bigbox and steam to the raspberry pi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
