I'm super new to the game. Just coming off my first bartop build with an rpi. Still not convinced I totally understand everything I did with it, but it works. Anyway, please forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask, or a question that has been answered elsewhere. I looked through the forum and couldn't find it.
Are there some bottom-line specs for running CoinOps on PC? Of course I'd like something better than bottom-line, but just to get an idea. I'd like to pick up a used tower on marketplace to do my first PC cab and run CoinOps, but I want to make sure I'm looking for the right thing and asking the right questions.
Thanks for any help!

Why not download it and the donor PC you have ready , copy it onto and see if it runs it well ?
or if your buying a PC for it then remember it plays latest PC games too, so depending on your requirements depends on the spec you want/need
Anything current gen will run CoinOps…. but the games……thats another thing….

Being a newb, I dont find the question that odd, but I see what you're saying completely. It's not Coinops that would be the issue but how taxing each game would be. Thank you sir! I'm starting to understand things a bit better.

YOUR a prick…
I find it odd because there is literally a 4gb CoinOps release you could EASILY test on the PC, but you are doubting the games? MAME games are playable on vintage stuff. I also find it odd as you are clearly competent (seeing as you loaded a pi) and asking a wide answerable question, if you intend to emulate Sega Master system you are good to go , it'll work, you will be fine – but if you want to emulate PS3 you will need something beefier, surely you are aware that the emulators will be machine dependant – or are you just being cautious ?

I think I was just asking the question incorrectly, but your answer put me on the right track.

Offline Tried an i5 670 with integrated gpu and can confirm Coin-Ops Arcade edition runs at 2-5 fps

Offline i'm currently running coin ops on a amd 1700x 1st gen with 32gb ram and gtx960… some of the pc games in the pack do show some screen tearing when moving fast… but run good…
i would think my old i5 with 16gb and gtx 960 would run exactly the same… i would think even 8gb ram would be fine for most stuff… would still need a fairly decent gpu…

Yeah i checked task manager while running and the software Maxes out the i5 1st gen at 100%. Im sure if i can offload the graphics to a dedicated gpu it would run alot better.

I am curious also. I wish BP would post his specs or give some idea for downloading these monster files. Arcadia 6 for example runs terrible on this machine. Games loaded with MAME run fine. Retroarch crashes (game shows a black screen and appears to freeze – still trying to understand this one) . Demul which runs After Burner requires vulkan and the older Intel GPU's aren't supported. MarioGP is 15 fps. Street Fighter 4 is actually very playable with 38fps , benchmark gives it a "C'
