Who wants to help us design a bartop arcade cabinet? :)

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 .

@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?

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.

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

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%.

do 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.

 

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 ;)
