There's going to be minimal latency depending on what Bluetooth controller you end up using and depending on the TV. With the CRT filter and Run Ahead enabled paired with a low-response time TV like a Modern OLED, its the most beautiful way to experience these old games so far in my opinion.

Run-Ahead is known to be a demanding feature CPU-wise, but with legacy 2d consoles consoles it runs perfectly fine on the Shield. All of this with:Ī- A beautiful CRT shader (I use the Caligary CRT Filter)ī- Run-Ahead is a feature to essentially eliminate almost all latency. I set up Retroarch for all my legacy / 2d consoles: Within Retroarch I'm emulating NES, SNES, GENESIS, GBA, 32X, PC Engine, NEO-GEO, Arcade Games AND even DOS games. It's really amazing what it can accomplish given the form factor and given that has hardware that's at least 5 years old. My experience with the Nvidia Shield has been MINDBLOWING so far.

My goal was to achieve this this with a small single board solution that's easy to set up, easy to carry with me and that is somewhat durable. I've been looking for a way to emulate all my old consoles up to Dreamcast at full speed.

OP, allow me to hype you up with the Shield.
