Thanks for the detailed response. The pocket 5 is closer to the price I had in mind but the 6 is tempting. The CAD exchange rate hurts a bit so I’m going to take some time later today to read a few of your reviews before I make a decision.
I grew up playing SNES, genesis, and n64. Can you recommend something that handles those systems well? No real interest in anything older but maybe as new as ps2. It doesn’t need to be the cheapest option, I usually aim for best bang for money. Thanks for any suggestions
This looks like a great fit for my setup. I’ll be testing it out over the weekend
I’ve been running opnsense on a qotom mini pc for a couple years now and have no complaints. It has plenty of resources for my 1gb fiber connection.
Are you currently using a modem/router combo or are they separate units? If it’s one unit, you’ll need a way to connect your fiber. The qotom has 4 sfp ports that should work for this or you can use a media converter.
The qotom has 5 2.5gb ethernet ports so you might be able to avoid adding on a switch. If you go the route of using a mini pc with dual ethernet, you’ll have to add a switch to the mix.
I decided to splurge on the 6 even if I might not take advantage of all the functionality. The options are there if I want to try some newer games.
Now I guess it’s time to learn where to find the roms and all the other details I’ll need to know
