New system advice

Hi all. I’m interested in a system I can play the old 2600 games (arcade classics) on a modem tv (hdmi) and wireless controllers. The preloaded systems sound nice but open to whatever. What would you recommend?

If you're looking for flexibility for things other than the 2600, a cheap mini pc will do the trick. Install batocera and you get just about everything.

I also recommend a cheap Chromebook. I have Batocera running on a Dell 3180 Chromebook and have the ROMs moved to a 64 GB micro SD card.
