XC-3730C Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Thanks for all the feedback, guys. I know that there are more powerful options for cheap, but I got this thin client from a friend as a gift, and I am always fascinated with how far older/cheaper PC's can be pushed. Once I get my male to female SATA cable to utilize a 2.5" HDD, I will start my build, then let you all know how it works out!

mr_me Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Stella is optimised for 64-bit and the author is always threatening to drop 32-bit support. Otherwise maybe 32-bit is okay but 64-bit seems more future proof. Myself, I wouldn't bother with retroarch, I'd just install and configure the emulators directly but that's personal preference. Maybe a 4GB ram upgrade to 6GB is cost effective, 4GB total should be okay. Emulation is mostly cpu intensive.

I really love it's GUI and skins. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have as many individual emulators as you like. This page gives you an idea how it works.https://emulationstation.org/gettingstarted.html#config Edited January 9, 2019 by mr_me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XC-3730C Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 So far so good with installing Windows x64. And Snappy Driver was a big help with installing all the drivers. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
