Just be careful you cool it properly.

This is my position (devil on shoulder is yelling "Stop it, your wasting your time", but anyway), if I am going to spend $450 for a NUC (actually, it now looks like more than that as I live in Canada, so that makes it $550), then I am simply going to install windows and then install any piece of software or program my heart desires without jumping through hoops and enjoy it. That's if I was going to use a NUC to play "Pac Man", but I wouldn't do that, cause I'm not a doorknob, I would just use the Pi for $50 and be happy.
Now, if I wanted to play the latest version of MAME with all the bells and whistles and Hyperspin, then I probably still wouldn't use a NUC, I would piece together my own Mini-ITX for a reasonable price and play whatever the hell I wanted.
I always love the Apple and Windows haters...just too cool for mainstream :laugh2:
I am not the OP BTW...

This thread is about running mame... not about running PC games. Point still stands. :blah:
ark_ader:
Android is still a viable option. It just works for emulators. Why does it have to be so technically difficult or costly to play a 30+ old game? ::)
ChanceKJ:
First, if your paying anything more than $400 for a NUC up here in Canada, your doing it wrong.
Second, if Pi works for some applications, just not yours then your giving bad advice even if you think you're helping.
Third, who the ---fudgesicle--- pays for windows these days?!
Forth, this thread is entertaining. :laugh: especially the memes
Fifth, Troll. TrollTrollTroll, Troll troll....
And F. ...I went looking for a good Pi walkthrough for the basis of one of my upcoming projects, but I can't seem to find one. I mean, just something simple that I can use to boot to DK. Am I missing the good step by step "how to build with Pi" sticky thread?
We need more threads like this?
:D
