  1. Does it have any trouble running some games?
  2. What other consoles can it emulate?
  3. Are Retroarch shaders available for it? If so, do they look good?
  4. If you have one, what has your experience with it been like?
I'm thinking about getting one and I wanna turn it into my new emulation device. As long as older systems like the NES, SNES, MS/MD, GB, GBC, GBA and maybe N64 run at a decent speed it's good enough for me.
 
From what I have heard it's a pretty capable emulation machine.
I have 2 though I only modded one so far. I only have PS1 games on it at the moment and it works great. I haven't tried adding any other systems due to the size of my flash drive however. It's running an old version of BleemSync and I believe a memory error from GTA 1 when it Red Screened caused issues with the save states. So the save states don't save, though the in game saves still work. However at some point I'll upgrade to Project Eris and switch flash drives and my guess is this will solve the issue. Also there is already a version of Mario 64 for PS1/PSP.

Sounds good! If you end up installing Project Eris (I believe it allows you to play your roms using Retroarch) let me know how it goes.
 
IIRC most things up to 6th gen emulate ok with minor slowdowns but let's be real, the thing really is designed to be cheap as possible to manufacture while still being able to run that handful of titles they got on the thing. So just don't expect too much out of it. Any old (used) pc for about 100 bucks will run circles around that thing.
Any old pc will NOT look as neat though.
