I am glad that it still runs linux mint. , Mom mainly uses to watch youtube videos and web browsing. I am sure that is just fine. I would not use something like that for gaming. And I don't know how it would do on emulators. Even though it has a large tb hard drive. I just don't think it would do to put a lot of stuff on it. I think it will run dvds and what not but it is hardly used for that.
