    I've got their GC adapter, and it mostly works. Doesn't seem to be able to interpret the shoulder button inputs correctly, which is a major pain in the rear end when trying to play any games!

    Anyway, the Pi is a good suggestion for an under the tv device, really good actually.

    PI-RI is a good suggestion for where the items fail the WAF or don't seek HAF :pac:

    I haven't tried the PS1 on my Raspberry Pi yet.
    In reference to the Amstrad not being in the list, you can get that separately and have it boot up on a different SD card.

    There are other multi port emulators like Chameleon Pi. http://chameleon.enging.com/

    I think I'll stick to the genuine article when it comes to PS and Saturn games.
    For previous consoles emu seems fine but, I suppose there are so many idiosyncrasies about the two 32 bit machines, is emulation, even in the best of circumstances up to scratch?

    PS1 emulation looks awful and is nowhere near accurate and to even get a lot of games working you have to mess around with plugins for specific games.

    Agreed, nothing beats the real thing !! But it's an alternative for people without the space !

    There is the more open Gamestick on the way, that's the one that interests me tbh.

    I might do a few 'how to' videos on my channel for setting this up and getting roms etc working on it.

    Would there be any interest here in that?

    I believe the older stuff runs just fine on it, very nice indeed.
