Is building is a big part of the fun ?

Hi !

Just wanted tot discuss some kind of weird topic in Retrogaming.

I've started a lot of retro doing retro consoles ( raspberry and retroarch fronts like batocera, retropie and stuff)

And for me, the " building" part was a real pleasure.

Setting up the os, emulators, looking and finding roms on the internet.. ( i hate fullpacks i want to select every game by myself)

All this research and seeing evertthing take place really makes me happy.

Are there other People that really dig that ? Or maybe you want more of a instant plug and play experience?

I think this is pretty normal for some people, not weird at all it's like finding things on your own without a guide iykwim. It's fun seeing the cover, the games, the release date and the history behind it

If I have a good mini pc I really want turn into plug and play and get all the games I have this dream as a kid that I want a console that you can play games in all generation

But the mini pc I have to wait a good pc on lower price.

I'm struggling with this since the Wii days lol

I've spent countless weekends downloading roms, boxarts, setting up the retroarch filters, controllers, etc

Just to be satisfied or tired at the end and ending up playing Mario Kart for half an hour and calling it a day.
