dov_EL Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Methodological choice: Emulators and Rom suitable bartop (Excuse me my English, im Italian ) I find it strange the choice to put in the cab of the powerful PC , because we must not forget that the arcade does not use levers and analog buttons . So the only games we should be (apart from all the arcade) are those of 8 and 16 bit consoles . use then complete romset could only be a loss of infinite time, so here I'd like to start writing a series of titles that might be worth putting in our bartop .

DOS76 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 @dovellaPlenty of 2D games for PS1 and Saturn didn't use analog and would work fine in the bartop also using better hardware leaves you pc open for repurposing in the future and also leaves it open to run newer arcade games like Taito Type X and for things that may be available in the future. You have an Atom in your bartop if I remember correctly is Taito Type X playable on your system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov_EL Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 PS1 work amazing with Intel baytrail I have not tried Saturn Taito Type X . But consolle like , Wii , GameCube , PS2 etc They do not make sense in a cabinet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I can see that unless you had some wireless controllers connected to it also they would be a waste do to lack of proper controls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 For proper full SNES emulation you will need at least a 3GHz cpu and maybe slightly more for Saturn though I am not sure. Plus if you plan on using shaders a semi decent GPU would be nice to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov_EL Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 No , SNES work perfect with Intel Baytrail , see my video . Emulation 100% perfect . (retroarch) go to 11:15 min https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH-YvnnqtpE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Depends on which emulator you are running. If you are running like Snes9x then yeah but if you want full 100% compatibility and accurate emulation you will need to be running Higan or BSnes Accuracy cores from Retroarch and those need 3GHz CPUs. But I am fully aware you can run garbage SNES emulators on lower CPUs. My laptop with a 1.5 GHz runs SNES9X fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 When you are running it on an Atom your not worried about accuracy you just want to play some games mine is a tablet and with only 1GB of RAM it plays SNES great garbage emulator or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov_EL Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 @lordmonkus I use only retroarch , and for SNES this core Super Nintendo Entertainment System -L "cores\snes9x_next_libretro.dll" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov_EL Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 @DOS76 My Atom have 2gb Ram i use Minix z64 , and Intel Stick . Work perfect . I only had a problem with the sound, but just delete the file .cofig retroarch and magically begins to function.I did not understand the reason for this bug, but in fact after everything works perfectly and the emulation is running at 100% like the original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Ok, im not going to argue this because there is no argument. If you only plan on running games that fall into Snes9x compatibility list then yeah Snes9x is fine, garbage was a poor choice of words. But all I was saying was if you wanted true 100% compatibility and high quality emulation for every game you can throw at it then BSnes / Higan is the emulator to use and for that you need a 3GHz CPU. Building something with a 3GHz+ cpu is not expensive any more. Snes9x is a fine emulator but it is not 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Bsnes Balanced carries the same compatibility but lowers the requirements a bit. Balanced is what I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 @dovellado you run BigBox on that Atom with 2GB of RAM? I've never really tried on my tablet since BigBox isn't touch friendly and I just never figured it would be performant enough to bother trying.

I've never really tried on my tablet since BigBox isn't touch friendly and I just never figured it would be performant enough to bother trying. Sure , and work amazing . Only boot of Big Box is "slow " ( 40-50 sec ) . Since the SNES. I had the Super Famicom on Day One bought from a shop that sold consoles import in Italy , paid him what we now have $ 1,000 . I know perfectly the frame rate of the original console, and I tell you that the emulation that use retroarch on Baytrail works PERFECT way. @Jason Sure Edited August 23, 2016 by dovella 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I have one of those but it is the MEGoPad not an Intel it cost around $100 when I got it and it came with a non-activated version of Windows 8.1 but I upgraded it to 10 the moment I unboxed it so that wasn't an issue for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FistyDollars Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 So after all this, it got shown off at Retropalooza and then just given away to some Youtubers? Man I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
