Hello all,
My first post here, just signed up this morning but have been reading these forums for a while now.
I recently configured a Pi3 with Retropie and have all the retro emulators on there up to PS1. Now Dreamcast, N64 and some PS1 games don't work too well, so I'm looking into bigger and better things already.
After discovering Dolphin shortly after my Pi3 was completed...My new ultimate goal is to create an Emulation Console that is capable of running the following emulators;
NES, SNES, SEGA, Dreamcast, Mame, N64, PS1, PS2, Gamecube, Wii
I want to create something that you turn on, and it boots into something very similar to Retropi on the Pi3. No desktop, no need for mouse or keyboard, just like a regular gaming console. Everything done on a bluetooth gaming controller.
My questions for everyone are to do with what the best build would be for me to put together, as far as motherboards, CPU's, & GPU's go.
I want to be able to run everything without any lag or problems.
I currently have the idea to build a Mini-ITX board with a i5-4670K & an Nvidia GTX 460...is this too much though?
I dont want to spend upwards of $500 on this, however Im not entirely apposed to the idea just yet if thats what it will take.
I've looking into the pre-built mini boxes like the Gigabyte Brix, Intel Nuc, Zotac Zbox but they all seem overpriced and not maybe too much spec.
What do you guys recommend for what id like to accomplish?
