I am looking to replace my current HTPC with a new one that will output in 4K. I am thinking of going with a NUC NUC8i3BEK with 16gb of rab. I want to run launchbox and various emulartos up and including N64 and PS1. I know the N64 can be a bugger to get to run correctly on some machines. The NUC has an integrated Intel Iris Graphics 655 card. I am not exacytl sure what I should be looking for when it comes to emulating the PS1 and N64. I don't need to emulate the PS2 or 3 or Xbox stuff.
If this is not a good match, can someone recommend a decent pc (doesn't have to be a mini but needs to run quiet) around $500. My plan is boot to Kodi then run Launchbox from there.
I currently have the ROMs on an external HDD, Since I can only afford a 128gb SSD drive with, I don't think I weill be able to move all the roms to it. I will probably keep them all on the external HDD unless performance off the the SSD is needed for the PS1 and N64.
