From the videos I've seen, it seems a micro pc similar to the one ETA prime reviewed would be ok spec wise but the m.2 spec is 2242 (sow lower writing/reading speed - not sure if it would affect the performance). Note that I live in China, so I virtually have access to all hardware imaginable. "quality of life" requirements: I'd like my system to load "fast" and play the games at the highest resolution/framerate possible (and to note that most of my media has videos associated to them) storage: not sure if external hard drive would affect speed but ideally internal ssd of 500Go minimum platforms used: MAME, Naomi, N64, Dreamcast, PSX, 3DS and all the olders platform (from sega and nintendo) - I don't intend to play the "newer" platforms anytime soon as I've already Switch, PS5, Gaming PC for that Not sure if it exists somewhere in the forum (or online), but ultimately it would be great to have a "minimal requirements" list for each platform (nes, snes, wii, etc.) with CPU/GPU minimal/recommended. My next step would be to migrate my launchbox folder to a new PC that will be in the living room and I'm struggling to chose an adequate machine (I've watched tons of video from ETA Prime but can't make my mind). I've been playing around with launchbox/bigbox for a few days now on my gaming PC. And don't forget to report successes and issues: If I receive "enough" comments I'll continue this project by optimizing the installer and other things that may need more love.I haven't seen a similar thread in the forum, so hopefully, this is not a duplicate. That's all for the moment, folks! Test and enjoy this setup by playing many games. This may work as an alias for it's ip address. This setup uses retropie as it's client name in your network. You can login to retropie's console by using any ssh program. Use sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel at retropie's console to achieve that. But for older intel GPUs it'll maybe neccessary to re-install these driver. I removed this damn driver for intel graphic cards and let the system use modesetting.If you're a using a NVidia graphic card you may have to install these drivers by yourself There are no drivers installed for NVidia cards, except nouveau (nice but basic driver).Enjoy the boot process for some seconds and voila! Your will be presented by retropie's setup. Wait ~10 seconds and power on your computer. Then you can remove the USB stick safetly. If this is not working type systemctl powerdown at the console. Here, as before, all existing data on the target device will be lost!Īfter some minutes, when installation finishes, LEAVE THE USB STICK CONNECTED (because it's partition is still mounted and active) and power down your computer by shortly pressing the computers on/off button. I (the script) assume(s) that there is only one HDD/SSD installed, so the installation will use this one and only device as target (/dev/sda). The USB stick first boots up Arch Linux and after a successfully start it fires up the installer script. It is not on our scope here to explain how to to this as there are too many ways out there (BIOS dependend). When finished, you'll have to boot from this USB stick. Windows users may use Rufus for that, but I neither have checked nor used that as I haven't used Windows for years and I'm not tempted to do that. BE CAREFUL AND CHECK IF YOUR GIVEN DEVICE IS CORRECT BY 200%! ANY MISTAKE AND MAYBE YOU'LL WIPE DATA FROM A WRONG DEVICE!) dd if=/PATH/TO/retropie-usbinstall-vb0.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1Mįor that (for the beginners: sdX has to be the real USB device, e.g. The USB stick should boot with good ole BIOS as well as with an UEFI BIOS (tested). You have to bump this image onto an USB stick. Regarding publishing this baby: Is interested to open it's doors? Long story short: If you take an old x86, make sure that is at least an "Intel Core2 Duo" (or similar) >=2009 and any reasonably powerful gfx card >=2011 Mupen64plus-glideN64: gfx great, sound great Mupen64plus-glideN64: gfx slow, sound stutters NoName (Intel Core2 Duo E7500, Radeon HD 6450) Lr-beetle-psx-rearmed: gfx great, sound goodĪsus M2AVM (AMDx4 Phenom 9850, Radeon X1200) Mupen64plus-glideN64: gfx great, sound stutters lr-beetle-psx + lr-beetle-psx-rearmed: "Crash Bandicoot 3 - Warped".lr-bsnes + lr-snes9x2010: "Aaahh!!!
