I've got so much Retro stuff, it's just too much to keep at hand.
Was thinking of finally building my own 'console' to go under my TV.
Sure, I have my Wii Softmodded along with my XBOX etc etc, but I've always wanted to do this.
Got experience in building my gaming setup, but never built anything this small or specific in its intent.
Anyone got any tips? I'd much rather build it myself as I like a project and I can specifically suit it to meet my needs.
Was hoping to build something that runs up to N64/PS1 with various filters turned on. Though would be nice to put my Dreamcast and Gamecube away too (since I'll probably retire the Wii when I get a Wii-U).
I'd run Windows 7 that boots up to an emulation front end.
This is what I'd be thinking:
Requirements:
- very small form factor.
- emulate everything up to N64 (maybe later if cheap enough).
- tight budget.
- front USB ports (for controllers).
- wi fi.
- turn it on via a remote or controller.
- ample storage.
- quiet if possible.
- looks stylish enough to sit under TV.
- HDMI out.
