spaceman Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hi guys/girls I want to build an arcade without an actual PC inside of it. what hardware should i be using ? to support software launchbox (bigbox mode) I basically want to have a fixed setting once I turn on my arcade.... I've looked at raspberry pi 3 and from my understanding it's a little underpowered to run lunchbox. Correct me if I'm wrong ? I want to be able to run 30 000+ games. Any help would be highly appreciated as I'm not quiet computer illiterate Ivan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 You will need a PC. Launchbox doesn't run on a Pi because the Pi runs on Linux and Launchbox requires Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceman Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 okay is it possible then, To run launch box on my PC at initial stages then copy the software (launchbox) to a circuit board ? So that the Circuit Board Can now run my arcade ? So my arcade will only read from the information on the circuit board therefore feel like an actual Arcade machine not a PC driven machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 If your "circuit board" can run Windows and has a hard drive or USB thumb drive hooked up to it then yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
