OK, so that's technically only $87.but $99 made for a catchier title The basic idea starts with the Raspberry Pi 3 (Model B), which is a $35 SoC (integrated mini motherboard).
DOLPHIN EMULATOR MAC KEYABORD DING HOW TO
This guide is simply to explain how to build the hardware & software system to support (legal) ROMs you already have in your personal collection. Nintendo has very specific verbage on ROMs of their products. There is a (small) variety of places to buy legal ROMs from. Regarding the acquisition & legality of the games (ROMs), that is left up to you. It also has extra features like save states, which is the ability to freeze a game anywhere rather than just the save points (super useful if you keep dying at Koopa, without having to re-play the whole level!).
If you were ever into modded Xboxes (for the purpose of playing emulators), this is the same idea, just in an itty bitty little case with dedicated software.
It basically gives you the ability to emulate arcade games & older console games like the Super Nintendo for around a hundred bucks. You can get more powerful results using a fast computer (especially for things like the Dolphin emulator), but this project is easy, low-power, and works more like an appliance than a computer.
This system is for people who want a compact, cost-effective, multi-emulation system with an easy interface.
