Help
Hey, what do you guys recommend to be a good catch all console type for ALL retro consoles (if such a thing exists). I know how to run emulators but I want my kids to have fun playing vidya before it became a gay political speaking piece. Also, fuck no Im not letting them on my battle station because I also run a business and have important dox. I see a bunch of shit for sale on amazon but if its anything like my retro console player it sucks ass. Thank you for any helpful advice.

Lastly,
>Xbox 360 is now "retro"
Fuck Im getting old. Nigga I remember my coleco vision, printer and all. Should have never ever sold it.

What i was thinking if you have at least 3 hours to put in, you could program a Raspberry PI to turn it into an all out retro console that can run anything(almost), there are even premade cards and software in case you don't want to put much effort but the right amount to make it work.

Thats cool, I was hoping for something I could just order but this seems workeable. Any tips on how I could set this up? I know how to set up miners (monero, raptoreum). Sorry I got busy all day working on muh boat. Picrel. If anyone wants some insight into said hobby lemme know. Sorry I didnt check the bread yesterday.

Actually this site is pretty cool. Im gonna need to do some research (all I really got into coding was how to use ms-dos and c+). Dont know a lot about unix coding.

Real answer, the Wii.

*because you hack it and it's the easiest console to hack as long as it's the one with the Gamecube ports.
The Wii will run everything from 1975(when CPUs and ROMs became a thing) to 2000 flawlessly in the majority of cases. It will even run Playstation 1 just fine to perfectly. NES, Master System, SEGA Genesis, Turbo Grafx 16, all those it can do in a snap.
Good luck on your wholesome vidya quest, Boomer.
