Lenovo Tiny Series Emulation Station
Status | Completed May 2020 |
Goal | Repurpose a Lenovo Tiny Series business desktop as a small and quiet retrogaming PC |
For many years I’ve been on quest to find the perfect emulation station. Something small and quiet, hidden under the TV, with a wireless controller and enough horsepower for high quality retrogaming.
Two years ago I built and custom-configured a Raspberry Pi with RetroPie. A great device, but not really powerful enough for 32-bit consoles like PlayStation or Saturn. I need something with a bit more grunt, reasonable price (~$100) and good Wife-Acceptance-Factor (no tower PC!)
After some investigation, I purchased a Lenovo ThinkCenter M93p Tiny Desktop from eBay for ~$100.
The form factor looks great under a TV and emulation performance is also great. Even Dreamcast and Gamecube run well, a significant step up from the Raspberry Pi. Full write up here.
