I'm a long time user of retroarch on PC.
I could build a mini-PC, but nothing for the specs the Series X offers at retail price.
What are you experiences using it? Is it as stable as retroarch PC? Can it do everything retroarch on PC does? Is there a good chance this functionality could ever be removed?
My main reason for even considering purchasing this horrid NuConsole is for having a powerful dedicated machine for use on a large 4K flat panel and using shaders. I'd like to emulate up to 6th gen (yes, I'm aware 6th gen isn't quite perfect on RA yet) using crt-royale at 4K (internally rendering at 240p/480p), and this seems like a viable option.
Any and all details would be appreciated.

Yes, playing video games is a useless surrogate activity, but it's far less embarrassing visually to have a simple emulation box in your home rather than a series of baby toys. I am getting the feeling you spend a lot of money on colorful plastic and I hope you are offended.

1. I have actually seen a vagina
2. In college I had an n64 in my dorm and would have mario party/mario kart sessions with people on my floor. Even the girls who didn't play games as kids ended up enjoying it. Also alcohol was involved.

Did I get laid because of my n64? Probably not. But I certainly got laid in spite of it, which is what you're attempting to say is impossible.

Nah you can get a supportive girlfriend that will keep you company while you play games. If a girl is really interested, there's a very solid chance that she will pretend to like video games even if she previously had distaste for them. Women seem much more concerned with being agreeable than men. I've seen quite a few of them go from hating games to be agreeable with their friends to loving games to be agreeable with their boyfriend.
That said, I bet you that most of the women who really hate video games associate them with an ex. No different from back in school, when some girl would suddenly get really interested in a band, play their music non-stop, and wear all their merch once she found out that her crush liked them. Once they break up, she hates the band and pretends she never liked it. Beyond idle chatter and strongly emotional non-opinions, it's all some goofy larp because they're often very insecure and volatile.
You do make a point though. Beta men lost and are at an increasing disadvantage. Alphas are winning more than ever. They made women love/pretend to love video games. Then when women showed up, betas either took the honorable route (sperging out about game quality) or the shameful one and simped - idolizing grl gamers and letting blue haired feminists take over dev studios in hopes that they might get a chance at some strange (they didn't). Meanwhile at a certain level of Chaddom and above you can show-off a glass duck collection and leave women hanging on every word.
Break free of the mental prison lads and have a laugh. We live in a gynocentric world where physical violence is the devil and years of emotional/psychological manipulation are okay as long as someone explains how they were feeling. This hyper-feminist society makes women and betas under even more pressure to conform and be agreeable. Additionally, it makes men who don't care and have a sense of humor more powerful than ever.

Yeah, I can vouch in. Series X is strong but because it doesn't have all the video drivers PC has some cores don't work the same as they do. It's progressively getting better though and practically everything besides N64 is running real damn good. I'm using it myself to emulate because like OP I have a 4k TV but not a 4k PC monitor and I wanted to use CRT-Royale.

Recently installing Retroarch became even easier, as easy as entering the console browser and installing it. Only real downside is that Retroarch updates have a small chance of wiping your saves and configs but if you turn off auto-updates and backup before updating it's a no issue.


TL;DR This shit is awesome aside from N64 and slightly worse PS2 on specific games
