What core are you using for neo geo? EDIT: Never mind @lordmonkus was a fraction of a second quicker than me. :0

Hi and welcome, i think you have the wrong thread?? What theme are you using?

Yep agreed, i quite like paramour anyway, but that one is stuck......record scratch........record scratch. lol

And this one.

Loving this at the moment.

Nice. This is the nuc i got, i added a old 120GB drive i had laying around and 4GB of DDR3L ram to it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00I60Z8Q2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I did buy it september 2014, and i know the low cost nuc's are better these day's.

Yep i just put libreelec on it with the built in tv headend server, and that records over the air stuff for me, in HD on several channels. I have sky satellite all over the house but thats all encrypted and only records to its box. The over the air i can run through handbrake and add to my plex/kodi library's. So in the end the nuc wasn't a bad investment.

Yeah ok, i do remember reading somewhere that HTC are very good at officially providing the software to root, and therefore switch OS on there devices.

Yeah i bought a intel nuc before, thinking it was suitable for my needs, it wasnt. Its now just a PVR box that hooks into my KODI boxes.

Well you should be able to instal the bootloader if you root it? I was actually thinking windows 10 mobile. Probably to much hassle though to be honest.

Also are you just using Launchbox or hoping to use BigBox?

Well i have a windows tablet with a X5 Z8300 With only 2GB of ram and it will do most of what you want. However its only a 1200x800 resolution, but i assume you are going to want to run at 1080p? If so then you are probably going to need something stronger than that, also if you go with a mini pc like that you may be very limited on hard drive space, some just have a small amount of flash storage, some have a hdd. If you are going with one that has a hdd in it you may well be better building a small form factor pc yourself like a intel nuc. As @mothergoose729 said a rough budget would help us a lot when speccing a system.

Yeah when i upgraded from the M8 i just went with the HTC 10 as i think they are great hardware. Can you install retroarch on windows phone? I might see if i can root my M8 and put windows on it.

Yeah i have a HTC M8 sitting in a draw, which would be cool to turn into a handheld with that controller dock.

Yeah a 8inch tablet version could be cool.

I have never seen that before, but actually quite like the look of it.

you can use youtube download software to download trailers from youtube.

You could use this to update retroarch, it's what i use and works really well. It will update to stable or nightlies, your choice, it will also update cores if there is a newer version and there is also a option to just download the redist if you need that as well.

You want the big blue download button.

Click downloads then on the right themes. here. https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/category/2-big-box-custom-themes/

There are several mame cores, you want the one just called "MAME" that's the current one. The choice of core will likely depend on your system. Some are designed to run on low powered systems but are far less accurate, others need a strong cpu but are very accurate emulators.

It depends on the specific shader some are quite heavy, but there are also some very lightweight ones as well. And when i say heavy MAME games themselves are not particularly heavy by themselves so it's not to bad. Also i am using that on a 60inch TV so the curvature and scanlines really pop at that size. I love the look personally.

Yep im a fan too, growing up in the 80's that's just how games from that era should look to me so i like to add it into my emulation.

I like scanlines personally, Here is how my mame looks in retroarch.
