Retroarch is probably what you’re looking for. It supports pretty much any emulator, and gives a nice front end you can navigate with controllers. It takes a bit to get comfortable with the interface though.
- colordrops 5y agoI know it's not what GP is asking for, but you can also integrate RetroArch with Steam - it's on the Steam store. My kids can play steam games and emulated games now without having to run or figure out two systems. Also a high powered PC plays certain games much better. The drawback to RetroArch is that the UI is non-intuitive and it's a bitch to configure.
- b20000 5y agothat's my main concern - screwing around with config files. I just want to download an OS image, write it to a USB stick, put my ROMs on the stick, put the stick in my mini PC, and boot it up and play.
- colordrops 5y agoThere's a raspberry pi build that wraps RetroArch with EmulationStation and sane configs. It's pretty easy to use. I believe it's called RetroPi.
- b20000 5y agoa quick search for retropi on amazon brings up listings for close to $300, for a pi in a case with a $15 controller. looks like there is business to be made by installing a distro on a $35 pi and marking it up by ~$250.
