Are the sections [pi2] and [pi3] automatically recognized by the boot?

They are recognised by the Pi firmware, in config.txt - they're a conditional filter.

You can set an option so that it applies only to a certainly class of device (eg. [pi2]), or to a device with a specific serial number, or only when attached to a specific monitor (based on edid).

@garbear: does this mean n64 emulation is possible on arm devices?

Are you aware, that the game support addon (game compatibility core) is still incompatible in this build?

(2017-09-24, 15:27)Milhouse Wrote: Yes.

However two things to be aware of:
1) If you've been overclocking your RPi2 then your overclock will now apply to your RPi3 and may fail
2) Any codec licences won't work in the RPi3 - you'll need to purchase new licences.

You can create [pi2] and [pi3] sections in config.txt which allows you to use the same SD card to boot RPi2 and RPi3 safely, eg.

Code:

[pi2]
arm_freq=1000
gpu_freq=400
over_voltage=4
force_turbo=1

sdram_freq=600
over_voltage_sdram=5
sdram_schmoo=0x02000020

[pi3]
arm_freq=1300
gpu_freq=500
over_voltage=4
force_turbo=1

sdram_freq=580
over_voltage_sdram=5
sdram_schmoo=0x02000020

Currently the renderer only does one thing, draws a rectangle. However, separating the renderer from VideoPlayer means we can build on top of it, and N64 emulation is one step closer to reality.

I've asked the LE team to recompile the game add-on so games should be working soon. I haven't yet tested the renderer on arm devices so I'm excited to see if it works.
