hmmm sucks emuP is down I was thinking about getting a 1-2TB hd for this and a very large external HD for a backup for this plus my other computer that has a couple TB of my photos on it. Thoughts on that? Also, I just got the 1030 graphics card in, for N64, do i need to install texture packs or will just the card be enough to smooth things out>?

Thank you, I just realized the PC i have is a DT version so only enough room for 1 HD in there, I can probably sneak 2 SSD's in there though.

Yea, I've been looking into those, Either those or go with a nearfield sub setup behind the couch for the tactile feel. Not sure which way I want to go just yet.

Theres another one on the other side Twin ported 18" woofers powered by a 6K W amp

Your trying to make me go down that rabbit hole, huh??? Trying to spend the least amount of money on this, but having another HDD for backup would be smart. I have 2K games on it now and havent really started ps1/ps2 emulators yet, but I dont think I would be picking to many of those games up since I'm mostly interested in N64/SNES. I say that now but now that you put that idea in my head, I'll prob be shelling out a few more bucks. This is my setup so far, sorry for the crappy picture.

I have someone locally that will sell me a sealed refurb ddr5 version for $60... think its worth it? I would mainly be playing n64 games

I'm going to go with a GT 1030 if i can find one for cheap.

The computer came with a VisionTek Radeon 5570 SFF 1GB DDR3 4M VHDCI but its a vhdci out that splits to 3 dvi... would it be worth it to keep this and use a dvi to hdmi or just sell it and buy something else?

Thanks, i just bought the license, will be spending quite a bit of time on youtube. So far i have snes and n64 all set up. About 1,000 games between them and only have 40gb of ssd left.... shouldve bought a bigger one!

thank you sir, I will see if I can pick up a cheap 16gfx card. I seen the thread on reg key edit and i will take a closer look at that. What just watching ETA primes channel setting up 450 SNES games and he showed the difference between big box and just the normal launch box. Now do i buy the $20 or the $50 haha

Newbi here looking for some advice. I was given my old work computer that I've decided to turn into a retro gaming PC. It is an Optiplex 7010 stats: i7-3770 @3.4 - 16GB ram - 120GB SSD running win 7 pro. My question is will the on board graphics be enough to play on my 75" sony 4K TV? If not, what would you recommend? Highest games I would play would be on PS2 but 95% are nes to n64. I've just started downloading everything for Launchbox but i have a lot of questions. I want to be able to turn on the PC and have this program load up without having to touch my keyboard, I believe launchbox has that capability? Looking into BigBox, is that just a more refined UI than launchbox?
