@BigOnYa, and since the default emulator is below average i downloaded some "replacements" like snes9x for snes games for example+1 -

If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds+1 -
@
BigOnYa:
What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted -

@
K3Nv2:
Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option+1

K3Nv2:
For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display+1

@
K3Nv2:
So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total

BigOnYa:
Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.

They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree

@
K3Nv2:
I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups

BigOnYa:
I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.

I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start

BigOnYa:
But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox.
