Social recommendations and mentions

• ChimeraOS: Instantly turn any PC into a gaming console

  A similar project is Ludo [1] which is part of the libretro family. More for emulation but really a clean UI (it actually has screenshots) [1]: https://ludo.libretro.com/#about. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Building a Linux arcade machine

  Linux Mint is fine. You'll want to modify it to start using something lighter than Cinnamon (I suggest OpenBox); 4GB of RAM means that KDE and GNOME/Cinnamon are not going to be fun, and as you're using it for arcade games, you don't need much more than a launcher for Steam/RetroArch/EmulationStation/Ludo/Lutris/etc. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Gaming Console Recommendations

  MULTI EMULATORS (basically one program that handles a bunch of consoles) I would advise you to avoid frontend or multi emulators like mame or retroarch, Because they could be intimidating if you start in this area To start with a frontend multi emulator, I recommend this one witch is beginner friendly and have a good documentation Ludo emulator.

• I'm coding an GameBoy emulator in Godot. I'm not quite sure why, I thought it'd be a fun side project lmao. The CPU is fully implemented, so now it's onto actually displaying stuff. Wish me luck!

  There's a spin-off of Retroarch that I think is way better called Ludo. It's basically a less confusing version of Retroarch with a really clean UI! Source: over 2 years ago

  Did you try retroarch? If you want something simpler, give ludo a try. It's from the same team, but made simpler. Https://ludo.libretro.com/. Source: over 3 years ago

• He’s doing it right. What GBA emulator do y’all use?

  I highly recommend Ludo, it's like Retroarch but much easier to use and automatically chooses the best emulator for each system. Just put in your roms folder and it'll automatically split them by console, then just choose and play. Source: over 3 years ago

• Why does RetroArch have such a overcomplicated UI?

  On Windows, Linux, and OSX, there's Ludo, and for Android we have Lemuroid. I can personally attest that both of these options are far simpler, and have a more intuitive interface. If all you want out of your mutli-system emulator is to play games, these might be a better option for you. Source: over 3 years ago

• Retroarch alternative for PocketChip?

  Lurking the net one of these days looking for a Retroarch alternative for my PocketChip that is installable on a Debian version newer than Jessie, I found this. Yeah, I know that it's just another frontend for libretro cores, but at least it worked in my PocketChip out of the box. The only problem is that after downloading the generic linux-arm build that they offer, the cores that I have tested so far are... Source: about 4 years ago
