Hello Linus team, I'm curious about merging a NES with an Xbox. Could we combine a cartridge and a disc? Or create a single console that supports all games from different platforms—ranging from NES to PlayStation to almost anything?

They don’t just use the NES on PCs directly. You usually have to bypass consoles to locate it, then connect it before playing games on a PlayStation or Xbox.

Similar to Yoshi's Boxx is a game that offers a whimsical and engaging experience.

A console remains a computer, though often tailored with a specific operating system. Search for emulators online. You’ll be able to run most older consoles and their titles on your PC.

It started the clip for me, which is curious because when I tap the link via your quote, it takes me to the discussion but not directly to the video. It seems someone might have quickly adjusted it right after you mentioned something (~30 seconds).

The Retron 5 supports cartridge play from numerous popular and some less common systems, but it relies on emulation which presents challenges. Your concept faces difficulties because before consoles adopted x86 architecture and compact PC designs, each system had distinct internal configurations. Emulating would require massive resources—almost every console would need its own custom circuitry—and video output would need conversion to HDMI standards, a process that differs across platforms. The expense would also be substantial. Certain systems enable backward compatibility, letting you merge collections. For instance, the first Wii can run GameCube titles, the Wii U supports all Wii games, the PS3 can handle PS1 games, and even PS2 if you locate an early model. This approach usually involves embedding older hardware versions instead of full emulation, ensuring games behave naturally.
