All right Yeah, so once you can get in there and you know, you can mess with the settings and emulation station then mess some stuff up But if you're just playing games That's number one In my opinion. Anyway, I played it, you know before Like that you can also buy these Preconfigured sticks. It's like a game stick or a game console on a stick that have all those ROMs and emulators already pre setup If you plug it into your TV, they come with a controller, and you play all the games. Excellent little choice for that. Repurposing a cheap Android TV box. Flash the OS that's on it with something different, with emulation station or whatever you want to do with it, and it'll work just fine. There's also an image for the Raspberry Pi called Retro Pi. And that incorporates emulation station and some more things into it. And you can add ROMs over your network. You just type in the IP. You drag and drop your ROMs into the appropriate folder. And boom, all of a sudden, there's new games on the box. So there's lots of different ways to attack the emulation thing. In addition, you can make up a stick. If you don't want to mess with the configuration or have all these ROMs sitting on your main computer, you can make up a stick called Bottasera. And Bottasera is a completely self-contained Linux operating system that can just sit on a USB stick. And you pop it into your port. Your computer boots from it. And then all of a sudden, it's just a gaming-centric operating system that allows for transfer files over your network and things like that. You don't need to go plugging it into your computer, making changes and all. You just plug the stick in, plug in a controller or Bluetooth a controller, and you're off to the races. The system doesn't even get access to your internal SSDs files. So there's lots of different ways to do it. Some are better than others. If you just want it running on your Windows system, Emudec is the way to go, for sure. It sets up the configures, everything. And when you point it to your ROM folder, I wouldn't do that. I would let it create its own folder structure in a different place. And then you take your ROMs and put it into those created folders, that folder structure. Because once you do that, everything is preconfigured. If you go point it to external ROM directories, things are not going to be configured properly. So let it create the folder structure. And then you go into that folder and then into the ROMs structure and drop your files there. That way, each individual emulator already knows where to get its files from. And as you add new files, you just drop them into the pre-created file structure. That's the way to do it. And it'll work much, much better than pointing it to a site.
