Over 50 systems supported. Here you go: RetroPie - Retro-gaming on the Raspberry Pi |
What he said. I've always been a traditional MAME on PC guy. I even have my own Bartop that runs MAME on an old PC thats mounted on the back panel...
However, with what is available for Raspberry Pi these days, meaning the support and pre concocted packages, plus all the other stuff that Raspberry Pi can do, at such a negligible price, if I was gonna do it again, or if my old board broke and I needed to fix my machine, I'd go down the Raspberry Pi route without a second thought. Even the fact that a lot of the overheating issues would be non issues would be enough in itself...
