phoibosdelphi Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Hi everybody, I am phoibos from Germany an I just scraped together the coins to do what I wanted to do for a long time... lifetime member :) I am an old bloke, played pong in 1979, got my first VCS 2600 around 1981, my C 64 in 1983 and after a stint on an Amiga 2000 I chose the pc to be my main platform. Which of course means I have a lot of old console gems to play now. I use Launchbox & you can find me at their forum under the same name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillyman Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Hello Everyone! I am Phillyman, some of you may know me from the preservation website Retromags.com. Anyhow I am very happy to find this community and I know how hard it can be to run big projects like this and depend on donations to keep up with demand. So with that I am happy to contribute to this site by becoming a Lifetime Supporter. On a personal note I have been into emulation since the days of AOL 4.0 when I used to fire up that bloody hand cursor in Nesticle and launch ROMs the old school way.....man we have come a long way. -Robert (Phillyman) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for reading expect a lot of questions lol! Don't worry about that, i'm not as old, but still trying to figure HS out as well... I've been doing stand alone emulation (no front ends) for years, but now i want to set up a cabinet and i got to say it's a lot to digest....

GaBuckeye Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I'm also an old dude and I grew up with Atari 2600 as my first console as a kid. I spent a lot of time in the arcades with Ms Pacman, Galaga, Centipede and the like. I got enough info off of YouTube to build my son a Raspberry Pi 3 to play all the Super Nintendo Games that would've come on a SNES Mini, (had I been able to find one) for his birthday! It was only the most basic setup on Emulation Station, but he was thrilled. I now have the bug and would like to build a full size arcade cabinet for Christmas, but I don't want to settle for "basic." I want to build a professional level gaming experience for the whole family. If all goes well, I would like to start building them for relatives and friends as well...(and maybe morph into a small side business.) Finding the best starting place is where I am finding trouble. I like the look and feel of Retro FE or Hyperspin to give the game experience I think I'm looking for at the end, but am unsure the steps to take to get there as far as emulator, etc. I don't even want 3000 games...maybe 50 at the most, but from many different systems from Various Console Systems, to Various Arcade games. YouTube has been very helpful, but folks are all over the map with set ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nocta Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 HI there, I'm Nocta and I've been looking at EmuMovies with envy for quite some time but never had the time to take care of my emulation project. Now I'm in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morize Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hello, Mostile here from the Mushroom Kingdom. Started trying to make a Hyperspin setup a few years ago, but other things came in between. Nowadays with more options like LaunchBox, it'll probably take much less time to complete a retro setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WipEouT Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Hi there! I've dabbled in emulation before, but stopped due to a busy school schedule years ago. A coworker of mine and I decided to both get back into emulation, and build a complete arcade cabinet from the ground up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raminios Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hey Everyone, Ben from the U.K Here. I've just started a multi-emulator bartop project, and this colossal cache of information has been invaluable to my quest. Look forward to showing it off once it's complete!

walterg74 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hi all! As you can see from my user details, not exactly new as a registered user, but completely new as to actually starting to do something... As my nick hints, my name is Walter and I am from Argentina, way down south in South America. I have been playing since the Atari 2600 days, and even though I collect and use real hardware (With a small number of exceptions, I have pretty much every computer or console that has a decent game base since the 70's), I also like emulation and use it as well. Built myself a bartop as practice for a "real" cab, and came out pretty nice. Hope to find lots of good info and resources to build my ultimate setup that could be used both on a "regular" PC as well as one within a cab. Regards.

Andy_Goin Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hey there, new to the site and emulation recently, loving it. Building out a custom arcade cabinet powered by Attract Mode and includes a slew of consoles and games. Vidcaps for the screens and such. Thank you all, see ya around.

Andy_Goin Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 BTW, anyone have experience using Mac Mini's as emulation systems? It's an older one with the DVD rom drive, but I figured it would at least play the earlier consoles and maybe Mame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunpeiBlue Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Hey all! Scott here I go as Junpei almost everywhere so, might as well call me Junpei! Always been a fan of emulation, but I recently got more into it since I discovered LaunchBox, I used it mainly as a more attractive and prettier way of seeing my steam games and such, but I am now using it as a front end to all my emulation stuff as well! Which led me here! I love seeing all this quite nostalgic media stored in one place, so keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
