So I stumbled upon Launchbox / Big Box and while I've come to the realization that I am no longer a PC gamer (and haven't been for many years), the idea of having the ability to play legacy games from my childhood on the TV in my living room both with my son (when he's old enough) and when friends come over seems very attractive. I had explored emulator builds years ago but there didn't seem to be anything that made the experience as user friendly as it seems some of the platforms do today.
So with that said, I'm hoping there are some of you out there who have already been down this path and can advise what avenue I should be exploring.
Ideally, I'd be putting my EPYC 7402p Unraid Server to use for this using a Windows VM (with an Nvidia GTX GPU passed through) with either something like moonlight or Nvidia Game Streaming. I have an Nvidia Shield TV in my living that is wired to my network backbone and I'd love to be able to use that if possible.
However, I have no experience at all with game streaming so I'm not sure how that plays with lag and such. If the experience is not good, it's not worth my time and I'd just as well just do an HTPC build for this.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
