![]() ![]() You can get a spare gaming PC for the kids too this way.įirst of these is finding a controller. ![]() So if you need a spare gaming PC and just want to play some SNES or Genesis, then you can pick a PC up cheap from a seller on ebay, or another online seller. I know because I’ve set a few up for friends after getting them used and discarded off a company I worked for. I popped an old graphics card in mine, and it’s currently the most powerful XP computer I’ve ever owned.īut even a basic Dell Optiplex with integrated graphics will run dozens of emulators. Those things sold for thousands of dollars new, and were pretty damn powerful office computers when they came out. I personally bought a used HP Z200 workstation a few years ago, and paid only a couple hundred bucks for it. ![]() Some of these are even powerful enough to handle the 32-bit consoles and the 64-bit ones too. If you take a look at ebay, and search for something like “windows xp desktop computer”, you can see a decent offering of PCs to buy that will emulate every 8-bit and 16-bit console and computer you could want. I bring this up because with the chip shortage going on right now, it may be a little hard to get the PC you want. That’s not even to mention the amount of time and stuff done on phones and tablets now.īut there are still a lot of old Windows XP computers out there, and there are industrious people looking to sell them. Hell, crazy people like me have even moved over to Linux, and there are those Mac people too. Most people have moved on to Vista, 7, 8, and 10 since long before then. It’s been just over seven years since Microsoft officially ended support for Windows XP. ![]()
