Seriously, I'm never rushing it. It's not like the one I'm using currently isn't serving me, so no pressure for me with windows 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I am slowly learning some hardware and may create something for my own use like portable raspberry pi based console or so. let's see where the experiment goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very sure that there are tons of video lessons on YouTube about how to do that, so it can help you learn well and not make any mistakes.

skyfire Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Yes I have been following some of them along. I hope to learn more about the arduino, raspberry pi to an extent of releasing things like small consoles etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have no knowledge on how to get it done properly, it's better to have a professional do it for you to avoid all these stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, instead of doing it ignorantly, I'll seek for professional help in order to avoid costly mistake and do it explicitly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasmin Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I have never built a custom PC for gaming, however, I always have had this desire. The only think that's stopping me is the cost associated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenfreak Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I was thinking about either building or purchasing an old computer to play old games, but instead I decided to emulate a Windows 98 PC using PCem. If you don't have the room for a old pc nor have the time or expertise to build your own old PC, it's the next best thing. It's much better than Virtual Box. I've had issues running old games on Virtual Box, but haven't ran into any issues getting games to work with the configuration I have set up in PCem.

Debashis Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Yes, building an old PC for old games can be a cost-effective way to enjoy nostalgic gaming experiences. Older games often have lower system requirements, so an older PC can handle them well. It can be a fun project and allow you to relive classic gaming moments.

Shortie Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 If you are only looking to play old PC games, it could be a more affordable way to be able to have a PC to be able play those games for a nostalgia hit. I will admit, some of the older games are definitely amazing and there is no better feeling than what you get when playing these 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 For me, I think building an old PC for retro gaming is super cool. I like that because It's like taking a trip back in time. Another advantage is, I can find old parts pretty cheaply online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or better still, you can save yourself from the whole stress and buy a new one instead of trying to build it from the scratch either by yourself or even another person doing it for you.

A friend of mine built a Windows 98 SE machine last year for under $100. That's a steal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
