When will ParaLLEl be added?

N64 compatibility isn’t great with Batocera with Raspberry Pi 3B+. Most games in my collection are either slow or just don’t work correctly, or don’t boot at all even with the Gliden64 and N64 RDP plugin. Also, where is the Angrylion plugin for the current added core Mupen64plus? Why is that plugin absent in Batocera? On the main page for Batocera https://www.batocera.org/ it says “Batocera.linux is built from the best emulators and the best cores!” if that was really the case, Batocera should already have ParaLLEl and Angrylion added. Why do Batocera users have to wait for Cores to be added, where as RetroPie users can freely add cores? Why remove the ability to add cores via RetroArch like what can be done on the Windows version of RetroArch? I should be able to add the ParaLLEl core myself without having to compile or wait for Batocera devs.

Nikorasu081 Why are you so upset? Batocera developers do more than most other retro gaming system developers. We get consistant updates and often! Which cannot be said for others like Lakka or Recalbox. Dont worry, if possible they will add that. If you have the knowledge of how to compile in linux go and join the work on the project. Even if you just do the basic work it will advance it enough for someone to be able to continue. Windows RetroArch is not exactly the same as Linux one. Windows is very end user friendly, Linux often requires work. If you would give freedom of adding things to RetroArch you would just create problems down the line…. People would start adding and doing things they dont understand while breaking other parts of the system. Also RetroPI is done specifically for RPIm Batocera supports multiple platforms. Remember everybody has their own lives, with their own families and jobs….. Batocera is done for free…..

For many reasons, this is a crucial part of Batocera architecture, not to be able to add cores.

So why don’t you use Retropie if it’s something you want ?

The Pi4 Build has ParaLLEl on board. Even with overclocking there is in many games a performance issue. Mupen64 runs better. In my opinion the Pi3 has not enough performance for ParaLLEl so the developers have not integrated it in the Pi3 build.
