Sounds good stuff though, i have my iPhone emu with tvout/wiimote and couple emus running on my PS3s otherOS with a PS3 looking USB controller, otherwise I'd be looking to do this myself. I don't know about hyperspin I'll check the vid, I guess it'd s front end app to boot up any of the emus you installed He might like this suggestion of a couple emus too. I know someone who recently stripped an old desktop machine just put iTunes on it, to use as a media center just for music and films. If you have any similar projects let me know, I'd love to hear some advice or similar stories.
It's a pretty magical experience if you ask me.
Then boom I'm gaming, very quick, and it "just works" It's on my tv, it fits my screen without being distorted, if you have the usb version of the original controller, it feels exactly like it did when you were a kid playing on your tv. I plug in the controller I want to use, choose my console, choose my game. I plugged it all up, I have the power brick plugged into the wall, 1 hdmi going from my "console" to my TV and 1 conroller cable sticking out the front, it boots, goes straight into hyperspin.

Plus hyperspin is also windows only and closed source, and native support xbox controller and configuring my hdmi output did just work, that helped a bit with that decision.Īnyway, after a couple hours of tweaking settings and hours filling up my HDD with all my roms and cd rips I have a 80% complete console emulator console that turns on about as fast as my xbox, plays at 1080p output and is capable of emulating everything from a comadore64 up to a ps2, I haven't tried the wii emulator on it yet but given it's gpu I think that's just a tad past where I have to draw the line.

I used windows 7 as my OS as I'm the most familiar with it, and believe it or not, after testing I found the best hardware compatibility and more mature emulators with windows. I would highly suggest the use of this program. If you have one controller then that's no problem, but if you are like me and want to be able to plug in 2-3 different types of usb controllers you might need a joypad->keyboard program. Most of the default emulators don't specifically work right out of the box and you have to configure each emulator to the specific joypad you are using. Hyperspin, while not extremely hard to setup is a pain in the ass to find the correct roms for the naming convention and crc hashes, look for the "no-intro" sets as a word of advice. I chose hyperspin for those who aren't in the know it's an arcade cabinet themed emulator frontend.

+quazi beefy specs for price (2.5Ghz dual core 64 bit, 4gb ram, Intel Gma X3500 GPU)įind a good frontend software for emulators.
Cost me about 400 I'm sure you can find one cheaper on ebay or get something similar Other emulators can offer you access to the catalogs of one or two different consoles, but RetroArch can potentially emulate thousands and thousands of games.It's the ASUS CS5111-AP007 in case anyone wants to follow along at home. RetroArch is by far the most full-featured emulator out there. The emulators do come in a series of Libretto folders, but you will have to download the ROMs separately from any other webpage. However, RetroArch doesn't come with the ROM of any video game. The reason is that you can't be king of the emulators without emulating Doom.

The surprising list of consoles (including the emulator used, in parentheses,) that RetroArch can emulate includes: PlayStation 1 (PCSX ReARMed), Super Nintendo (SNES9x Next), Nintendo Entertainment System (FCEUmm / NEStopia), GameBoy / GameBoy Color (Gambatte), GameBoy Advance (VBA Next), Arcade (Final Burn Alpha), Neo Geo Pocket Color (Mednafen NGP), Virtual Boy (Mednafen VB), Sega Genesis/Mega Drive (Genesis Plus GX), Sega Master System/Sega Game Gear (Genesis Plus GX), Sega CD / Mega CD (Genesis Plus GX), PC Engine / PC Engine CD (Mednafen PCE Fast), WonderSwan Color / Crystal (Mednafen Wonderswan).Īs if the complete catalogs of all of these video game consoles weren't enough, RetroArch Android also allows you to perfectly emulate Doom 1, Doom 2, Ultimate Doom and Final Doom. Instead, it tries to include all of the different types of consoles and games, and it can perfectly emulate thousands of games from different platforms. RetroArch is a special emulator which doesn't just focus on a single console like Playstation or SuperNintendo.
