RE: Retro gaming - affordable arcade experience
Hi @madviking thanks for sharing this I am currently researching about retrogaming now and I found retroarch as very interesting. Search it that is why i found my way here. I just have one question to are there any alternative that is as good as retroarch?
I didn't dive deep into this theme in my article because I was trying to simplify things for a beginner, but here is a little explanation about some systems available. The baseline project is called LibRetro. RetroArch is just a front end that uses LibRetro. Then there is Lakka. Lakka is a operating system (OS) built upon LibRetro, very similar in looks to RetroArch. Then there is RetroPie and Recalbox, that are built upon RetroArch/LibRetro. RetroArch is a front end that looks like the Playstation gui. But you can use other frontends like Attract Mode or Emulation Station. And this is where I'll stop, because these are well known, have great support from the community and all of them work great, so you just have to try one or some of them and decide for yourself. ;)
Cool I will start learning about those you have mentioned it sounds interesting. :)
It really is! Have fun! ;)
