Greetings from /v/ (sorry) I want to build something small and

Raspberry Pi 3 works fine on PS1. Just get a case.

Do you know what OS I should be looking at? I don't know much about the Raspberry Pi but I can do most of the legwork myself. I know none of them work with Windows so I'm looking at the list of supported OSes here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi#Operating_systems and a few of them say Linux, I've never done anything with linux so I have no idea if I want gentoo or "puppy linux" or what the fuck but I can muscle through and learn how to set things up on it as long as I know I'm moving in the right direction.

Sorry I'm retarded.

just get the raspbian, is made for the pi anyways

>>55660683
okay thanks anon

>>55660545
Raspbery PI comes with its own linux OS called Raspbian based on Debian.

To be totally fair, you could just use some PC collecting dust in your closet and it would probably run PS2/Gamecube or even Wii games just fine

Portability is a concern for me anon, I know Ouya small is unrealistic but I'd hate to lug an old eMachines beast around

Orange pi pc should be fine and is only $15 from aliexpress

This.

If you want twice the oomph for twice the money then try the ODROID XU4:

literally buy a psp 2000 and the video cable for it. will emulate up to ps1 and gba.

And 5x the linux knowledge needed to get a bunch of emulators up and running even with the build 1 guy is maintaining for it.

I've been researching this shit all evening, thanks guys, you can be alright

>>55660545
there are a few distros made for turning the Pi into an emulation machine. One is RetroPIE, which picks out all of the emulators they think are best. Another is Lakka, which only uses RetroArch (which is good enough)

This. Easy to setup and easy to maintain. Works up to ps1.

OP here, everyone on /g/ is so helpful and nice

>>55663087
You're extremely lucky. I honestly opened your thread just to read the negative reactions and feed my contempt for /g/'s toxic culture. You must have just come at an hour where all the angry freetards are asleep.

/g/ gets annoyed when it's purely about games or consumerism, this thread actually has an interesting factor of technology

hey /g/ am I saving money on shipping getting this? Looks pretty good to me

Oh shit, I had one of those a good while ago.

Pretty nice to play old games and shit but the screen lasted like a fucking year. I mean c'mon.

Add an Nvidia card or buy used.

I heard rpi3b overheats. Is that really an issue or are the people where it overheats just idiots.
I plan to buy one and a case (no cooling) and just set it up for webcam screenshots and recording audio every 10 sec and making a amplitude-graph. (And sometimes for browsing through ssh or xrdp from work)

Gentoo.
