Retro Gaming On The Amazon Fire Stick
I didn't know this was possible. Right now I got a small set up using my dad's old mini. He got a new one and since I didn't want to use it as my main PC (I want to just buy a new one myself), I loaded it with some emulators and roms.
I didn't know it was possible, either. Now I can replace my Rasberry Pi with one of my fire sticks!
Nice, I'll have to keep this in mind. I have a raspberry pi that I modded into a emulation station, has NES, SNES all that. Pretty nice setup. But this does sound like it'd be cheaper and easier.
I want to upgrade to a newer raspberry pi soon so I can get more out of it. Maybe even add in more newer consoles like PS2, Xbox and up. I know my raspberry pi had trouble playing some N64, PS1 games, so if I can get one working with this and future consoles, that'd be cool.
Same. Id keep it around if I were you. I have a could SD cards I switch out when using mine. One is literally PC so I can stream content from certain sites. And the other card I have is for the emulators. :)

I think it's very impressive that you can emulate the Sega Saturn on a Fire stick. The saturn is a very difficult console to emulate, heck it was a very difficult console to make games for in general. I have numerous ways to emulate older consoles, so I don't have a use for this but I can see having a Fire stick for emulation is a pretty decent option for those wanting to play old games on a budget.
The hardest part about emulating the Saturn is finding a coder who knows what it is.
