The Compute Module 4 Is an Emulation Beast! Raspberry Pi CM4 Review

In this video, we take look at the all-new Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4ANd the CM4 io Board!
This is going to be a game-changer when it comes to Raspberry Pi 4 Powered Handheld and portable computers and in this video, we test out RetroPie and see how the new CM4 handles emulators like PSP, Dreamcast, and N64!
The compute module 4 is powered by the same Cpu that is used in the Pi 400 which means it can be overclocked up to 2.3GHz for a nice little boost in performance! With up to 8GB of ram, the CM4 is going to power some really awesome Nintendo Switch Style handheld in 2020!

3:54 & 10:58 thanks for the mention! I'm glad you're getting some games running on this board; so much potential!

"My new smart fridge is an Emulation Beast!"

[OverruledDood]

ETA didn't test Goldeneye? Who are you and what did you do with ETA?

[NewAgeDIY]

Good to see that you got your hands on this board. Thanks for running it through the different games.

My order for my compute module is on back order until February 2021 🤨.

I believe that the number of custom I/O boards designed and manufactured by the Maker Community will be ready by March. Exciting times indeed 😎

Jeff’s research and on going projects are amazing and I would also recommend everyone to check him out.

My favorite ETA Prime drinking game: something is “a beast” or “awesome” 🍻

This is a nice new little form factor the Pi Foundation are coming out with. I do hope someone produces an IO board with a few low profile connectors to make building a handheld unit easy. Ideally I would be looking for connectors to screens, an amplifier so you could just connect some speakers and battery/charging ports alongside options for connecting controller circuits.

I still think that to progress the Pi Foundation needs to move away from the old Broadcom chips for something with a bit more graphical power as they have previously stated that the Pi 4 is as powerful as they can get on the current processing node.

Loved the shout to Jeff Gerling Channel . You are two guys that really deserve all success.

man I really hope the pi5 comes out and can emulate dreamcast perfectly.

[Hxx]

I hope someone revives the Piphone project. The CM4 would be great for that application.

I wish that Anbernic could make a handheld out of this. It has so much potential and i would definitely pay for that!

[utubepunk]

I imagine when he's not reviewing emulation hardware, ETA Prime is a Capoeira mestre masked vigilante, dealing Eddie Gordo justice to any criminal who crosses his path! 😁

Been a fan of your videos for some time now. Just wanted to say your contents are very good.

Guide to ETA Prime video title:
1. Write name of SBC / Computer / Tablet / etc.
2. Add “is an emulation beast!”
3. Congratulations, you did it!

[IRWPD]

Looking forward to seeing the new handheld built with this.

[JerziTBoss]

CM 4 is seriously awesome... You can build handhelds, actually low end but usable laptops or tablets.
2 in 1 powered by raspberry pi would be awesome... It could be cheaper than Surfaces and windows 2 in 1 or iPads(with keyboards) but still provide more functionality than the android ones.

I was literally researching about the CM4 yesterdayand thought "I thought ETA Prime was gonna make a video on this" and now voila

[urzishra]

Oh pretty excited about a PSP-esque CM 4 console for this thing. That might be my next Retro purchase.

[Lasjah]

One step closer to my dream of handheld PS2 emulation...

[tuliocastro]

Thanks a lot for your video. It was a really cool introduction to the CM4.
I am a fan of your channel and, as an observation, sound here has awesome quality, but volume is a little low (I think it varies with each YouTube channel).

I wuold like to thank you for your tutorials. I had been away from gaming for many years and the last few months I could learn how to use the Pi 4 with Batocera, Retropie, to configure the PS3 controller, to be updated with the latest news in a clear, direct and inspired way.

I also have a few doubts: what is the most efficient way to emulate GameCube on the Pi 4? Maybe with Flamemonkapie or other system?

I also would like to learn about your best configs for the Dolphin and PPSSPP in order to run the games at its best.

These consoles and others, like NDS (which has been the only reason that makes me prefer Retropie over the beautiful Batocera with its NextGeneration Theme), they are great consoles that so many of us didn't even know.

And, finally, have you overclocked your Pi 4 8GB at 2.3 GHz yet? Would you share with us how? Can Gamecube nice emulation be achieved with this level of overclocking?

Anyway, it's been a lot so far!

Thanks a million for your inspiring tech videos for so long! Just keep up your awesome work!

Wow so many downvotes for a nice quick intro and demo of some new Raspberry tech. Thanks again for a good review.
