Installation is straight forward, so let’s get started. Emulating older computer systems however can be done however as modern computers are much more powerful than the emulated system.
#Raspberry pi sega emulator software
The emulation software translates software and hardware properties of the emulated system which can be resource intense. Note that CHAMELEON PI will run on all Raspberry Pi Models (Model A with 256Mb RAM, and Model B with 512Mb RAM).Īdditional plus for CHAMELEON PI is that the download is smaller than most of the alternatives, still up to a hefty 750Mb, but it beats the 1Gb (and larger) alternatives.Īn emulator can be seen as software, possibly combined with hardware, that mimics a computer or game system (guest) on a computer (host). Oh did I mention the funny screensaver – a slide show of error messages of numerous systems? The interface does not rely on X-Windows and is written in Python. We will use CHAMELEON PI, as it so nicely combines most common emulators in one single Raspbian based IMG file for the Raspberry Pi. Not only does CHAMELEON PI combine a nice set of emulators, but it also offers a nice menu interface to select your emulator of choice. Note: ChameleonPi no longer seems to be actively developed, but can still be downloaded. Just to name a few very good ones: MAME4All, RetroPie and of course Shea Silverman’s efforts.

Let me first say that there are some great alternatives to CHAMELEON PI.
