If your gonna do it do it right
I mean PC's are cheap, right? Dont limit yourself to a console acting like a PC acting like an arcade - do it and do it right
You got the right idea. Besides a PC, when it comes to emulators for consoles there hasn't been anything better than the Original Xbox. Of course it really is limited to CPU and memory. Some big games can run sweet using virtual RAM though. many Mame games run like crap because of the CPU. But is perect for SNES, Genesis, Nintendo, Turbo DUO, TG-16, Neo Geo and I believe GBA emualtion runs full speed on it as well. many of the emulators for teh Xbox have awesome features as well.
I used to play all my old school games on the original Xbox but since it's limited by the CPU and memory. What I did is simple. I bought a powered DVI Splitter and a DVI to HDMI cable. What can I do with this? I can use my TV through the HDMI port as another monitor. Well basically the PC sees your TV as a second monitor and depending how you connect it it will use the resolutions and refresh rate of the TV and not the ones from the monitor that is sharing the port on the video card with.
If your Video card is high end and has HDMI out you can simply hook up your TV straight to the TV as a second monitor with a HDMI Cable. I have a rather fast PC so I can play just about any emulator full speed and teh picture looks awesom through HDMI. Nice and crispy and since it's a HD TV it upports high resolutions.
This is what I recommend for emulation. Your PC but use your Plasma or LCD TV, emulators look better on the TV.
