That being said they should be good enough for anything leading up to Fifth Generation consoles and arcade games of the same era? Maybe not high end Vpin projects. |

I only use it for Mame+HLSL and for emulators for the 3rd and 4th gen consoles (which is the 8-bit/16-bit era). My guess would be that the 5th gen (n64, saturn, ps1) would run just fine, but I don't expect the 6th to run well. |

I must admit I don't understand the appeal of this. For older games the Raspberry Pi works well is smaller and <10% of the cost. For newer games it easy to find a refurbished USFF PC with a 3 GHz Core 2 processor, HD, and Windows 7 for about $150. This may do a little better than the refurbished PC but once you add memory, HD, and Windows the NUC gets above $700! |

My guess is the Pi doesn't work with windows. Which is familiar to most. |

It's for someone who wants to push the envelope of small/powerful computing. It's for someone who wants to take a computer, stick 3,000 games on it, put a flashy front end on it (hypersipn/mala), and cram it into a fightstick. It's for someone who wants to make something kickass without a budget and without worry of how much it's going to cost. |
