    Best Emulators for a Home Built Arcade Machine

    in Arcade Emulators [/pc/arcade]

    Posted

    Thanks for the recommendations. :D

     

    I am much more familiar with standard console emulators than Arcade Emulators, so I’m glad to get some good advice on which ones would work best for a home arcade machine.

     

    I have added the ones you mentioned to my notes. My system specs are not incredibly high on this first system. Mainly because I am working on a budget but also because I am trying to build a smaller profile system.

     

    Motherboard - INTEL BLKD945GCLF MITX ATOM CPU

    Memory - Crucial Technology 1GB DDR2 PC2-6400 240

    Video Card - EVGA e-Geforce 6200 PCI Graphics Card

    Hard Drive - Western Digital 5000AAKS 500GB SATA II 7200 RPM 16MB

    Power Supply - AGI 350W P4 Power Supply W/2 SATA Connection

    Operating System - Windows XP Home OEM SP3

    Montor - ACER V173B 17″ LCD Monitor

     

    I figured this was a pretty decent setup for my first DIY Arcade System. After researching it more and checking out some of the other projects people have done, I already have ideas for other systems I would like to build in the future and I will probably create a more heavy duty hardware setup down the road.

     

     

    I'd like to know how those emulators hold up on the atom platform. I've seriously considered it for a project like this, since you can get the parts together on the cheap and it uses so little power compared to a full blown computer, especially my old one...which is kind of a space heater.
