Arcade OS?
Foxsec:
Hey guys.
I recently got hold of a nice cabinet which I am stripping. I have spare MOBO's/HDD and monitor but am curious if there is a retro OS that you can boot (like Retropie).
Before I go ahead with the stripping I just want to know exactly what I'll need (A pc mobo or a Ras Pi 3)
Many thanks.

Pc is always better than Pi, just about any PC will do. There are tons of menu systems available, for Windows and Linux.
Titchgamer:
If you have mobo, hdd etc use them.
Pi is great but PC is much easier to set up and configure not to mention more versatile.
There are loads of front ends out there to run on windows.
Look in the forums and there is plenty of info on FE's and how to configure windows.

Ha!! Here I was thinking this topic was about the actual "ArcadeOS" operating system from years ago. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that arcade frontend. Great for old machines and old versions of MAME.

I shall have a look, would this make the arcade OS boot on load, so you don't have to mess around playing about loading programs up in Windows etc?
