A big thank you to everyone in this community before I begin. I've gone through the forums, watched the tutorials and soaked in as much as possible...now I need some advice, and apologize if the answers were missed elsewhere.
A week ago I almost bought a Retropi 2p customized build for $600 and had to pull back. I loved the set up, the retro feel, but after doing some research, I realized that I want more - I want to run LaunchBox. Whether it can't be done or difficult to run LB on a RetroPi, I feel it's best to build a mini computer to run everything and hook it up to an arcade fightstick. I would like suggestions for the following package:
- 2p arcade setup (ie x-arcade tankstick)
***which one should I buy?
- Mini computer to run Windows/LB
***what specs do I need, dual or quad core? I would like to play all emus
I plan on hooking the computer up to my flatscreen and plugging in the fightstick for arcade games and using wireless game controllers for everything else. I'm looking forward to buying lifetimes on LB and EmuMovies. I really want to have the full package with everything running smoothly. Money is not an issue, however I know there are a couple options where I can get the most bang for my buck.
