I hear about retroarch because I read about retropi as an alternative to NES Classic. Retroarch is suddenly everywhere. I finally download it on PC to satisfy nostalgia for some old school goodness with some newfound freetime. I create Play it Forward because retroarch introduces me to retroachievements. I dip into this forum to catch up on all of the threads I missed...and now I've come full circle.
I'm not exactly sure but I believe you're better off using a Raspberry Pi 3 than the NES Classic if you want a tiny emulation box. Pretty sure the RPi3 is going to significantly outperform the NES Classic. Plus more storage, more options.
Definitely, but I think the point was "if you have one or know somebody who does, hook it up!"Quote:

Remember when dataminers found out some of the VC games were literally downloaded Roms by checking the header? I sure do. I'd rather play weird rom mods with the ability to play the original now and again as well.
I didn't know that. Damn, that's gotta be egg on Nintendo's face there.Quote:
