Macs don’t have a good reputation when it comes gaming. But with newer emulators will a Mac Mini make for a good retro gaming set up? Retro Game Corps goes through the steps, extra hardware you might want and some insight. Overall a Mac Mini might just be what you want for retro gaming.
Macs are often considered terrible for gaming, but recent advances in Apple silicon chips have paved the way for some spectacular retro game emulation. In this video we’re going to take a look at the cheapest Mac available today (the M2 Mac Mini), priced at $599. I’ll walk you through the setup process and perform game testing for all your favorite systems: from classic retro content like GBA, NES, and SNES, all the way to more powerful systems like Dreamcast, N64, Saturn, PS1, PSP, GameCube, Wii, Wii U, Switch, PS2, PS3, and Xbox.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
