Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

Yes. There are several projects: RetroPie, Lakka, Recalbox, Batocera. They're all some out of the box emulation solutions. emulator, frontend, controller configs, ... Sometimes you can install Kodi an also watch videos. Several of them use the exact same software. I tried them all in one evening a year ago and just stuck with the one that seemed to work best for me and didn't require a lot of additional configuration.

Nice, thanks for the clarification. I've done RetroPie before, and put Lakka on my Switch at one point. I'd like to get a couple more Pies to mess with eventually

Have a look at other options, too. There are other single board computers and mini PCs out there in all price and performance categories. Some better than the Raspi, depending on use-case.

For sure, thanks for the tip!
