AoOFury Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Fist time n00b here seeking help on a rig able to play games up to PS1. I have this idea in my head to create a "Console Arcade" where the computer for the arcade rests in the actual controller. I would like the computer to run Launchbox and really nothing else to give it a total console feel. The controller I have selected is below, (unless you guys have any further suggestions): https://shop.xgaming.com/collections/arcade-joysticks/products/x-arcade-tankstick-trackball-usb-included What kind of computer would be necessary to run this? I also have an old Xbox 360 i would be willing to flash if i cant put a computer in the controller itself Thanks for your help in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charco Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Welcome to the community AoOFury. Firstly, You will not be able to fit a PC into an X-Arcade Tankstick, it's really for connecting to a PC that is connected to a display. As for putting LaunchBox on an old Xbox 360, unfortunately this is not possible as LaunchBox is a Windows only application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AoOFury Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Charco thank you! Well darn I was hoping to fit like a pi in there (https://www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Model-A1-2GHz-64-bit-quad-core/dp/B01CD5VC92) do some soldering, load up windows, and drill a few new holes. Is there something out there that has 2 sticks i can put a Pi in? Or perhaps bolt/weld the Pi to the actual controller run a short usb to it and run the HDMI from the new console to a TV. Thoughts?

neil9000 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 There are possibly sticks out there that would have space for a pi, but you won't be using Launchbox. As @Charco said Launchbox is Windows only. The pi will run retropie or lakka though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
