My favorite shader so far is CRT-Royale – an advanced shader preset designed to recreate the look of a CRT monitor. The best part of this new build is I can use shader presets that brought my NUC to a crawl. The 4770K and R9 Nano are a few years old at this point but are more than enough to handle RetroArch at 4K.
EMULATIONSTATION RETROARCH WINDOWS MANUALS
It should be no surprise Video is the largest subfolder at 81GB followed by Images at 48.4GB I scraped my ROM collection with the default settings in LaunchBox so it’s possible to get a slimmer install by leaving out game manuals and other types of images like front/back box art, cartridge art, screenshots, etc. With these platforms scraped in LaunchBox, the folder size weighs in at 152.4GB: On top of this I have the complete ROM set for FBA 0.2.97.43 and the USA Redump PSX collection. I have the No-Intro ROM sets for the following systems: NES, SNES, N64, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Master System, Genesis, 32X, Game Gear and TurboGrafx 16. LaunchBox is a big step up from EmulationStation aesthetically it’s also a big step up for storage requirements. If EmuMovies doesn’t have gameplay footage then LaunchBox will usually at least display a screenshot of the game’s title screen. The Node 202 is a compact ITX case which made cable management fairly challenging but I think I managed to pull off a decent job:Īs you can see from the video, you get a short intro for each platform and gameplay footage per game if you have an EmuMovies account enabled for scraping.
The NUC worked a million times better than the Zotac but with Retroarch on Ubuntu it seemed like configs were broken every time I ran apt-get update. Eventually the Zotac was replaced by an Intel Skull Canyon NUC running Ubuntu. EmulationStation on the other hand took forever to scrape metadata especially with the complete ROM sets for most systems.
EMULATIONSTATION RETROARCH WINDOWS FULL
Looking back I’m not sure how that PC was able to emulate anything at full speed but I remember games running pretty well. At first I was using a Zotac mini PC for the hardware and Lubuntu for the OS at the time I also used this PC to play movies using Kodi. For the last couple of years I’ve been doing my retrogaming with a combination EmulationStation and RetroArch.
