I have an old computer that I want to emulate from but have questions. I want to connect it to a Sony Trinitron 32" CRT. This is my first attempt to set up emulation.
My computer hardware:
AMD FX 8320 CPU
16 GB RAM
500 GB SSD
ATI 2Gb Video card (I think, no stamp on card that I can see)
I want to emulate these (Please let me know if anything on this list is not required)
Atari
-2600
-ST
-Lynx
Colecovision
Intellivision
MAME
NEC
NeoGeo
Nintendo
-Game Boy
-Game Boy Colour
-Visual Boy Advance
-DS
-NES
-SNES
-N64
-Game Cube
Panasonic 3DO
Sega
-Master System
-Genesis
-32X
-Dreamcast
TurboGrafix 16
I already have modded systems of Xbox and PS2 hooked up to the CRT. There is also an unmodded Wii.
I will emulate PS3 from my main system on a 55" LCD.
I have an Amiga Mini but not sure how to load games from USB also on the 55".
Also have a modded Xbox 360 and a modded Wii U. And a regular PS4 on the 55" tv.
My questions are:
1. Should I run Windows or Linux for the Retro system?
2. I have the premium version of Launchbox, is this a good platform for launching emulators? Or is there something better?
3. There are multiple emulators for the list above are some better than others? Does this change from Windows to Linux?
4. Any other advice from the experts out there?
