ODROID-XU4 vs ODROID C2 vs Raspberry Pi 3
- 
					
					
					
					
Thanks everybody for the info. I know RPI3 will work perfectly but when I tried Marvel VS Captom 2 (Dreamcast version), it was a bit laggy. Really playable but not constant 30fps ... maybe the settings, maybe the power of the RPI3. That's why I'm looking for a ODROID-XU4 but if I have other issues that I don't have with my RPI2 / RPI3, I might not go that way. That's why I wanted feedback with people who played a lot of movies on the ODROID-XU4 to see if issues occured.
Thanks !

After I compared Soul Calibur with Reicast on my Raspberry Pi 3 with the original game on hardware, I saw a striking difference between the two: the shadows are abstinent on recalbox.
Can someone confirm that the shadows are missing on odroid, too?

@marcdk well the shadows are keeping themselves pure for marriage I guess

 - 
					
					
					
					
So there is no option in Recalbox to display them properly? Even on odroid? The game look bland with the shadows.

@substring Could you tell me what I need for my recalbox / odroid setup?
- Odroid XU4 mainboard
 - Power Supply Cable
 - XU4 Case
 - 16Gb eMMC
 
Does it have support for a normal micro SD card? Ist the eMMC for the recalbox os and I can put the roms on my existing micro sd card with 64 gb?

@marcdk I can't answer your questions as I don't have an eMMC. I just know it's "complicated" for now when having both at the sametime, it won't boot on the SD. I have an idea why, but can't check.

it won't boot from the micro sd? But how did you start it if you don't have an eMMC?
 - 
					
					
					
					
@Substring Ah, I understand: you don't use an eMMC but instead only a micro SD card. Ok, that works? I only need to buy an odroid u4, a power supply and that's it?

@marcdk XU4 + its power supply, yeah. Remember it has no sound output, it just goes through HDMI

@Substring I just ordered mine. Should be here by the end of next week. Then I will see if Soul Calibur runs in 60 FPS. Any idea how to switch on shadows for Soul Calibur and the Dreamcast emulator.

@marcdk this is an emulator bug, not some kind of switch that you can turn on

 - 
					
					
					
					
@voljega Is this so? Maybe it is just switched of because it should run primary on a Raspberry Pi?
 - 
					
					
					
					
@marcdk And another thing: NullDC can run Soul Calibur with shadows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_sWZaJF1k0

@marcdk no I don't think so, I don't think there is a menu like in the PSP emulator where you can fine tweaks aspects of the game and the emulation... we just have to wait for reicast to evolve into a better emulator in pi / odroid

I asked in the forum: http://dcemulation.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=86&t=104462 Maybe someone can help. But I think you are right and it is a core issue.
