Hello - before asking questions

[GrahamSmith]

Hi

I have just inherited a cabinet from work with a dead PC inside 😞

I have re-attached a little micro PC and and spent a week downloading an 8TB drive with everything on 🙂

But the micro PC is not man enough really without a graphics card 😞

I hate jumping onto forums without a hello, but I know my first question will be ....

What spec do I need for the PC (I have a load of old PCs from work as well, so hopefully I can just lob a graphics card into one)

Then when I am loading games I am getting a small screen with info round it, rather than a full screen of the game, is this a simple setting somewhere?

Ta

You don't say what systems you want to emulate. So an old laptop would emulate quite a lot but newer systems will struggle. 

I have an i5 2500k and GTX 660ti in my cab and that runs most things the latest system being Wii. 

As for that 8tb thing you downloaded, please don't ask for help with that here as we always recommend starting from scratch and learning how to set up. You should be able to use any ROMs and artwork on it. Hopefully it will just work though. 

Good luck and have fun.

Thank you Gigapig - point noted about starting from scratch - having read some of the topics on here I had kind of come to the conclusion in my mind I would switch back to starting from scratch, so I can really see how it works!
