Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

    Is this similar to RetroPie and LaunchBox? Essentially an emulator front-end? That’s the vibes I’m getting from a quick glance at your link

      Yes. There are several projects: RetroPie, Lakka, Recalbox, Batocera. They’re all some out of the box emulation solutions. emulator, frontend, controller configs, … Sometimes you can install Kodi an also watch videos. Several of them use the exact same software. I tried them all in one evening a year ago and just stuck with the one that seemed to work best for me and didn’t require a lot of additional configuration.

        Nice, thanks for the clarification. I’ve done RetroPie before, and put Lakka on my Switch at one point. I’d like to get a couple more Pies to mess with eventually

          Have a look at other options, too. There are other single board computers and mini PCs out there in all price and performance categories. Some better than the Raspi, depending on use-case.
