GarrettCRW Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Parish's talk of bespoke system setups is a bit of an understatement because I believe he's even tried or managed to route his Super NT and NT Mini into his PVM (which is the source of much of his drama with his setup, since he also streams using the systems he has hooked up to his PVM).

Flojomojo Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 What's PVM? Something for capture and streaming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derFunkenstein Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 What's PVM? Something for capture and streaming? it's a professional video monitor, the fancy broadcast studio CRTs that have BNC connectors for RGB inputs. You can get an 8" monitor for only $250 on eBay. 20" in good condition go for two times that or more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercylon Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) I don't think it is worth starting a new thread for this, but the market needs another one of these devices? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/681890174/indiego-classic-retro-console-and-xs-the-new-slim At least expectations seem to be kept low. (Still begs to ask... why not just get a cheap PC made in the last few years?) Edited April 17, 2019 by cybercylon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godslabrat Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 They barely managed to eek out the original IndieGo, trying for a second version doesn't seem prudent. But it does exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Still begs to ask... why not just get a cheap PC made in the last few years?) The only advantage would be if the emulators work well without nonstop tweaking which is the problem with a cheap PC.

cybercylon Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 No one should be doing emulators on a cheap PC. "Cheap" is a relative term. You don't need a four figure tower of doom if your plan is to emulate older consoles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetick1 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 No one should be doing emulators on a cheap PC. Why not? A cheap NUC with Linux and RetroPie is not a bad solution through a Raspberry Pi would be significantly cheaper but with a bit less compute power. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetick1 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Retro games can run on a potato computer. Snobbery and retro gaming mix like orange juice and toothpaste. True but the closer you get to modern consoles you need something with a little more compute power than RasberryPi... say like lower tier / mid range NUC. Hehe you get a thanks on the above post just for your wit. You always have great lines.. Edited April 20, 2019 by thetick1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derFunkenstein Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 "Cheap" is a relative term. You don't need a four figure tower of doom if your plan is to emulate older consoles. This is true. Even the most accurate emulators don't need much more than 2 GHz from an eight-year-old PC. A Core i3-2100 is more than enough for Higan and BlastEm. A NUC that doesn't have an Atom chip is sufficient. I'd skip the cheapest of the cheap, though. Celerons and Pentiums with Atom cores would be pushing it. And that same i3-2100 should be plenty for Saturn emulation - just ask Playmaji! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godslabrat Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 At this point, they've set the bar low enough that "It worked pretty well" is all they needed to accomplish. It's a shame they couldn't have been up-front about the potential of this thing from the beginning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they can deliver their PC emustation... it's still not what was promoted and (I'm certain) not what all their customers thought they were ordering. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derFunkenstein Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 "It's real and certainly has potential" is way more upbeat than I expected from someone as picky as Bob. https://twitter.com/RetroRGB/status/1121166073934614531 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
