Can I get a rough overview of Raspberry Pi and emulation gaming?

I uploaded a video of my Pi 2 Bartop Arcade running the Daphne games Dragons Lair 1/2 and Space Ace

If my bartop had to go through the whole Pi startup just for me to play 1 game of Pacman. I'd never use it.

Not sure what you mean by this. Pi boot up and PC boot up isn't much difference.

Im thinking it would have to be boot times, Perhaps he feels a Rpi boots too slow compared to a pc with an SSD.
geeteoh:
7 seconds to get to "Retro Pie" splash screen (which is faster than the boot time of my attached TV)
21 seconds (from boot) to get all the way in the front end to user input
RP2 not overclocked, RetroPie image from a year ago, cheap 16GB micro SD card. My Ms Pacman upright original arcade takes longer than 21 second to come up.
I have an identical RP2 RetroPie setup at work in our game room. It's been running pretty much error-free for 6 months. It is on 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Doesn't overheat without heat sinks or fans. Runs with a (gasp) X-arcade Tank Stick to a 32-inch LCD TV. Easy for people to figure out. Running mostly the early arcade classics.

Ah, you are using RetroPie, that's a good chunk of your problem. I love the Pi as a PCB replacement. Hide the boot scrawl and load to a single ROM.
