I'm sharing this guide for anyone who, like me, is looking to combine authentic visuals with modern convenience and universality on a single emulation PC. GameMaze is a detailed setup guide for turning a Windows PC into a dedicated emulation console using BigBox as the foundation, and designed specifically for modern HDMI scalers and flat panels. The core ideas are: Unified frontend: BigBox integration with gamepad-only navigation—no keyboard or mouse needed Native resolution output: Games run at their original resolutions (tested 160p–1080p) via digital HDMI, preserving authentic visuals while leveraging modern hardware Seamless switching: Launch 240p arcade classics (Street Fighter II) in original resolution and modern 1080p titles (Elden Ring) from the same couch-based interface Full hardware coverage: RetroArch, standalone emulators, and Steam integration with unified controls, with one machine which runs any system in its true original resolution [Full documentation available here]

Hello! I've just finished building and documenting a console-like emulation system for Windows 10 that outputs true native resolutions (240p–720p) over HDMI to use with scalers (like RetroTink). The goal was to unify all possible systems (from arcade and 8-bit to Switch and Steam) at original resolution into a seamless, gamepad-only experience with no need for keyboard or mouse—even for popups or controller reordering. Features: -Native 224p–720p output via HDMI (meant for CRT shaders on a scaler) -Gamepad-only interface across the whole system (despite Windows limitations) -Full controller support, harmonized controls and hotkeys, player port reordering on the fly (Pop-up auto-dismissal and Bluetooth controller reordering scripts) Works with vertical arcade (TATE), PC games, and any console. Built on: Windows 10 Pro BigBox (frontend) RetroArch + standalone emulators REWASD + AutoHotkey + Res-O-Matic Tested with: RX 580 GPU + RetroTink 4K Full write-up + scripts + setup guide: Guide on Github I have thought others could find parts of the guide useful!

I am with ya! Thought the issue was on my end ^^
