  • Anyone using a launcher?
    In my opinion the ideal situation would be a backend that any developer could build a frontend to that would suit their approach. For example there are many Retroarch frontends like Highscore, EmulationStation, etc. These all suit the needs for what some person may want. Source: about 1 year ago

    I use EmulationStation on a lot of devices. It would cover what you're looking for. Other frontends I like are RetroArch and Daijisho. Source: over 1 year ago

  • Are Amiga 500s beginning to be overpriced or have they always been like this?
    In my opinion, before you plunk down a bunch of cash on old hardware that is likely to be underwhelming (and costly to get moderately functional without access to vintage peripherals), I’d recommend you look at Amiga Forever from Cloanto (https://amigaforever.com). This will include legal ROMs and everything you need to get started on a modern PC. If you must have a hardware solution, look into the The A500 mini... Source: 12 months ago
