I just got an i7 8500 I was hoping to use to run my network and server (which I haven’t built yet) and I was wondering if it could also be used to run some retro game on and if that would be advisable?
Is it advisable to use dedicated machines for both activities?
If I can use the one machine for both, what distros would you advise?
I haven’t used these emulators before so I can’t say if they will work but here are some options:
Nintendo: Mesen
PS2: PCSX2
Here’s a site that gives you a list of emulators that you can use on Linux: https://www.ubuntupit.com/best-game-emulator-consoles-for-linux/
