Message: [QUOTE="McDoob, post: 67124, member: 30263"] For classic emulation, the Raspberry Pi is hard to beat. Anything up to PSX-level, as well as PSP and Dreamcast, will play with no problem, thanks to RetroPie. A Pi 5 kit will only cost about $150, and (importantly for me) will only draw 5 watts from the wall. No, it won't play CyberPunk, or even Crysis. Or anything graphically demanding. One can only do so much with 5 watts. I currently live off-grid, so low power usage is super important. My entire entertainment setup (display, speakers, Pi, KB/Mouse/Controller, external HDD, and cellphone) uses about 100 watts. With 5400 Wh of energy storage, I could game for two days straight, even if an eclipse were to last that entire time. Meanwhile, my 750-watt PC alone would drain my system in about eight hours. I can use it in the summer, when there's sunlight for 18 hours a day, but not in the winter. -McD [/QUOTE]
