The Pi 4 is much more powerful than an N64. So much so, it can emulate it in software.


Way to put it into perspective!


Not in terms of heat output surely?


According to random unsourced claims I just found on an internet forum, which I've decided to trust:

    NES: 9 watts
    Super NES: 10 watts
    Nintendo 64: 19 watts
    GameCube: 39 watts
    Wii: 45 watts
    PlayStation: 17 watts
    Game Boy: 0.7 watts
    Game Boy Advance SP: 1.6 watts
The rasppi 4 is supposedly 4 watts when idle, and under 8 watts when loaded.

(So there is really no question that a machine like this can run with passive cooling, but obviously it's going to be a function of case size and design, as well as heatsink size and design.)
