External DVD drives do NOT work for this so hopefully your drive is fine.Mine was not and i had to source a replacement to proceed. I think you have to burn it to a DVD too, but its been a few years and im not 100% on that, or if thats changed.
ARCADE EMULATOR FOR MAC OS X INSTALL
This will create a hybrid GPT/MBR partition where it will boot correctly and you can install your OS in emulated BIOS. One thing youll want to do is make sure you start your Ubuntu or Debian install through bootcamp assistant in OSX. You should be able to emulate dolphin on this machine too, but i wouldnt expect anything beyond that. I did this with a 2011 iMac (as a test) and it worked quite well. But I'd like it to have a kiosk-like interface, navigable with just a game controller - like RetroPie - and maybe even with a touch interface using an IR frame.Īny suggestions, advice, opinions are welcome. I don't want a point-and-click mouse and keyboard interface, so the underlying OS is only important insofar as it will support what I'm after.
What is the most recent system it is likely to emulate well? quad-core i7 2.93 GHz, 32 GB of RAM, ATI Radeon 5750 graphics w/ 1GB vram. can I expect performance to be pretty good? It was maxed to the gills when I first bought it. I'd like to have a decent collection of N64 games on it.
do you think it's a good idea to install Debian or Ubuntu linux on it and install Retropie manually or should I stick with Mac OS and run something else like Attract Mode and configure the emulators manually? I'm hoping someone has experience with this. It's not quite fast enough anymore to be my primary machine for graphic design and photography, but it should be plenty powerful enough to do anything the Raspberry Pi can do, so I thought it would be nice to turn it into a bar-top arcade machine. I have a mid-2010 27" iMac that has been sitting around doing a whole lot of nothing lately.
