What's your favorite console to play your "backed up" games on?
What's your favorite console to play your "backed up" games on?
If you've ever checked out /r/OriginalXbox there were some pretty neat hardware mods like LCD screens on the front of the console that display current playing content.
The PS2 can play games off of an SD card with MX4SIO through the memory card slot, through USB, through SMB with a Raspberry Pi, and through an internal HDD. You don't even need a working disc drive or a hard mod.
The PS Vita has a rocking homebrew scene.
The 3DS had neat custom themes and being able to use QR codes to download games is pretty nifty.
There's also SBC Gaming devices like the RG350 and Retroid Pocket 3+ that can play a wide array of systems.
Basically I have a hard time narrowing it down. What about you? Is there one console or device you keep coming back to?
I was using an original xbox until the first Pi came out, haven't used the xbox much since.
Is that because you use your Pi for emulation?
Yeah, I had linux & emulators running on the old xbox and was quite happy when the Pi came along.
My current pi 4 is a server/media centre most of the time and for retro gaming I just reboot into another drive. Arcade Punks made it too easy to just grab configured & working images for the board and now that the Pi can boot directly from any old hdd I have lying around it's a simple way to game.
