    The 8 bit guy is well worth a watch too. He even writes his own games for retro platforms.

    Not at all. I've a fairly decent Launchbox/Bigbox setup on mine, with RetroArch doing most of the heavy lifting underneath. LB/BB is an amazing frontend, scrapes all the images, vids, metadata, instruction manuals, etc etc...and you can go from playing Atari 2600, to Colecovision, to Amiga, to the Sharp X68000, to Gamecube, to PS3, and everything in between....all via the controller.

    I used to have a specific hardware build for Jamma cabs with 15Khz crt's, but that's going back a bit now.
