      Can you do all that on windows?

      Why not ? I think both Pegasus and LaunchBox(BigBox) can integrate with arbitrary games (i.e. for non-Steam ports) and the Steam library.

        Well, I think I may give this a try.

        Now it’s time to decide if I want to buy this Naomi board or not....

          @tackett1980 I think that will cost more than a few 'berries or the PC build you're tackling :).

            Yeah I think so.

            I found a guy selling a naomi board, mvc2 cart, and an I/o board for 375

            Should I buy it or is the Naomi emulation with decent hardware like we’ve been discussing just as good?

              @tackett1980 i think you're asking a very specific naomi question to probably the wrong community. i would ask in a general emulation community on reddit or somewhere like that.

                @tackett1980 I'm doing this as well. At least, I'm getting all the hardware together to upgrade my arcade machine from a Pi3 to a PC system. I am probably going to put a KVM switch in it so that I can still play with the Pi as well as run the PC with just a flip of a switch.

                Hardware I've got ready:
                i7-6700, 12GB RAM and GTX970
                Still need to get a PSU and SSD. And find some spare time.
                This should be able to run all modern fighting games in MK11 and SF5. Maybe not on the highest settings, but who cares.

                As for the front end, I will probably use either EmulationStation or BigBox.

                  I use RetroFE on Windows 7 SP1 on my bartop cabinet multi 2-player I built and just about to add a trackball this weekend for trackball games I want, with 8GB memory and a Geforce 1080ti (very low power requirements and draws from the motherboard with NO external power needed), but on my main PC I still have a Geforce GTX460 and it still runs everything the bartop does as I use that as a tester before copying the RetroFE files to a portable USB for running RetroFE from on the bartop for portability and easy updating or adding new systems as I when

                  I started off with RetroPie on a PI 3B but wanted pinball, so had to go the PC route and run Future Pinball and Visual Pinball with ease on both systems

                  If you want arcade fighting games, have a look at Teknoparrot that enables you to rub arcade dumps on a PC rather than emulated versions via MAME

                    I’ve been looking at this teknoparrot but the compatibility list they have on the website looks pretty terrible. Am I missing something here?

                      Nice!

                      So I guess the master plan here would be to get

                      A pc
                      Windows
                      Mame
                      Final burn
                      Steam
                      Naomi emulation
                      Front end

                      Game suggestions are all here:

                      https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/24699/the-best-fighting-game/21

                      Plus my white wale of mvc2 arcade emulation.

                      Got any PC suggestions for this, or even links If you or other readers have the time to post them.

                        Personal Opinion Here! The Raspberry Pi4 4gb of ram is the best way to go! it plays all but one psp game at 100% FPS! so Rpi4 with a fresh install of retropie!

                        edit unless you need steam then please ignore this comment*

                          The pi4 can run Naomi arcade emulation at 100%? I find that difficult to comprehend.

                            @tackett1980 from my knowledge it can, the device has 4gb of ram if it can run god of war at 30fps it should run a majority of naomi games at 30 or 60fps depending on its cap

                            I found this online not sure if it helps but it shows some gameplay


                            P.S 100% in my eyes is 90 or above should have ut "at least 90"
