I don’t have a lot of space for consoles and cartridges, or money for consoles and cartridges but I do have a decent computer hooked up to a TV. What’s the best way to get an authentic experience via emulation? Here’s what I have so far:
Retroarch Settings
- HDR enabled (cant tell if it actually helps)
- Run-ahead enabled
- Mega Bezel shaders
- Retrobit saturn controller (having trouble getting configured but has an excellent dpad)
Emulators/cores:
- NES - Mesen
- SNES - bsnes
- Jaguar - Bigpemu (need to configure shaders)
- Megadrive/CD/32X - Picodrive
- PSX - ??? Swanstation?
- Saturn - Beetle Saturn
- N64 - Mupen64plus
Thing I need to work on:
- Tweaking shader settings as the defaults are very dark
- Configuring retrobit controller to work with Steam big Picture (how I launch Retroarch) and retroarch seamlessly
- Possibly finding a Big Box theme that is focused on original artwork and not garbage
Any advice/pointers? My goal is to eventually have a “pick up and play” setup possibly with different 8bitdo/retrobit controllers for each system.
An arcade sick for arcade games?
I haven’t dove too much into the world of Arcade games but would love to do this. I have also been trying to think of a way to do virtual “quarters”, possibly donating to charity or something, because infinite quarters takes a lot of the fun out of the games.
