Hi guys, I have been using a Raspberry Pi with Retropie for my emulation for ages. It’s used for games up to PS1 and it’s fine, but I wanted to upgrade my emulation to play games up to PS3/360. For that I think I need to use a PC right? What’s the recommended spec for that use case?

It’s gonna be used specifically for emulation hooked up on a TV on my basement and with Retrobat or some system like that

I appreciate your inputs.

    Probably best find the docs for the emulators you’re planning on using and see if they have any minimum or recommended specs listed. I know a lot of emulators have really come a long way in the last few years some of them might support really low-powered machines.

    Anecdotally, I recently built a PC out of old bits and leftovers from friends’ upgrades. I used it more for native PC games but it was an incredibly cheap way of playing anything that wasn’t a recent AAA resource hog, so maybe see if people you know have parts that are just gathering dust.
