A personal account of setting up an old laptop as a retro emulation machine for a non-gamer partner. The setup uses RetroArch with NES, SNES, Genesis, and PS1 cores for classic titles, plus PCSX2 and RPCS3 for PS3 games. The author chose a laptop over a phone for comfort and screen size, and curated a specific game library — including Chrono Trigger, Super Mario World, Journey, and Portal 2 — to gradually introduce gaming mechanics without overwhelming a first-time player.
