L1bertyPr1me Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Hi Everyone. I'm new to Hyperspin & these forums, and would like some advice. As I am building a bartop cabinet with all the bells & whistles, but what would people recomend to use a PC Motherboard setup, or a Raspberry Pi B. I have both so that's not a problem just like to know witch would be better for using with Hyperspin. Any advice and input would be greatly appreciated.;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Hi There....first of all, welcome! I would use a pc instead of a Pi. Hyperspin will not run on a Pi as its windows based with no plans on Linux builds. Plus you can throw a lot more intensive games with your PC setup. What are you wanting to emulate? On the Pi you can officially run up to PS1. Ive modded a NES to encompass a Pi (still a WIP) as space is a constraint inside these cases. Another thing you can do with a Pi is use it to stream content from a Hyperspin PC to your TV with good results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zomboided Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 RPi 2 with Recalbox is immense for console emulation and ok for arcade. It's easy enough to make a nice pimpy theme for EmulationStation and it does a good job of displaying media for each of the games, but it'll never be as attractive as Hyperspin.

Thanks for the reply, I forgot to mention the RPi B would be for Emulation Station, I've had a bit of a think about it and I would favoure Hyperspin and PC Motherboard, at least I can still use the Pi B on building another project when finished with this one. Its nice to join the forums and hyperspin, Thankyou for your input. Regards L1bertyPr1me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
