Hi all, New to the forums but having been reading over the threads the past week or so,and decided to take the plunge and build myself a bar top arcade system, Really i want to run hyper spin with mame,snes and neo geo really, where i got myself stuck is the motherboard etc, Am i right in thinking that a atom motherboard isn't really powerful enough? something with a i3 or i5 would be better? At the moment i have 120w pico psu and 500gb data drive to use,could i use the pico? Any suggestions for a motherboard would be greatly appreciated. Thank you |

Hyperspin has really high system requirements, far more than what you need to emulate your games of choice (all of that was running full speed 10 years ago on 12 year old hardware). If you aren't married to that then you can use just about any PC. Just use an old one. My big fat $3000ish mame setup is running on a 7 year old PC. I would also suggest a mini cabinet before a bartop. You won't spend much more on wood, but it will seem way more real. |
