It's about $200 for the 8GB model with 512GB Memory.

What impressed me was they were playing Dreamcast and Gamecube games pretty damn well on it in the stream previews -

So much so, they ever advertise it as a feature. - https://picopc.net/pages/pantera-pico-pc-specs

Which makes me wonder about games like Carnevil and other arcade titles.

You can copy the drastic.sh version from that repo to your own RetroPie-Setup installation (overwriting $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/drastic.sh) and then re-install drastic.
Do note that replacing the scriptmodule with another version will make updating the RetroPie-Setup fail, since you modified the file locally.

Most everything in terms of desktop shell replacements died out around Windows 7's release.

I just received my new pi and all is working now. Time to start the rebuild and customization. I tried backing my old build on my pc before i started having issues, 64gb card, but it would always fail at 39gb when writing the image to my 2tb hard drive. Even with multiple readers.

There are tons of dev type boards but none have the community and software support of the Raspberry Pi. Lakka does a pretty good job of supporting different kinds of hardware

Far as I can tell? The typical approach is installing mednafen via sudo apt-get install; then using it to run GB/GBC/GBA/NES ROMs. One of the posts there shows you how to write a .SH launcher for it, as well.

That said, some kind of RPie for it, even a mini-version, would be pretty fantastic. Maybe someone can splinter off RP and include only the emus/scripts that the hardware currently supports; but not have ES run on boot; but rather from within CHIP's internal OS instead? Bear in mind that the RAM on PocketCHIP is way more conservative than Pi Zero/2/3; so having frontends running in the background will mess with in-game performance; hence the suggestion to minimize it.

But what should we call it? "RetroCHIP?"

@HPK-de said in UAE/Amiga alternative?:

For me Dosbox is way easier, hardly any probem getting games up and running.

It's an amazing emulator for sure. One of the most impressive out there. You also raise a good point about the particular time frame in question as far as port quality is concerned.

Why is it not possible to get an emulator where you just have to throw a amiga-file at?

I've been using the same kickstart rom for years now and after it's set, I don't have any issues loading games myself. Loading the game's disk image and pressing reset is all that is needed most times. I do seem to remember that finding a kickstart rom that would perform well was a bit of a search though.
