Install Batocera on a Chromebox - Cheap Emulation Box
I recently acquired 3 old Chromeboxes for free. In this video I attempt to reset one of them so I run a different OS on it. Specifically Batocera. In a future video I will try to install a Linux operating system on one of them.

    Slap in 400w PSU, and a GTX 4060 LP from Gigabyte. I just bought i5-8500 Z2 G4 SFF for $120 shipped from eBay. 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD with Windows 11 Pro and DVD-RW. i5-8500 is later renamed to i5-9500. Same exact CPU.

    Easy way to solve CPU temps in games, crank up the visuals to lower the FPS. 😂

  • @Soravia
    @Soravia 16 годин тому

    You can squeeze in GTX 4060 low profile from Gigabyte into it, if you make sure the CPU is 65w TDP or lower. There are OE HP power supplies that goes up to 400w on some models with higher power CPUs.

    Hey man i just subscribe i like these videos at 4:17 where you say installing Batocera(i Guess a emulator) for the linux distro is recommend PopOS its it very light weight and customizable i have installed custom firmware on a chromebook before PopOS workd fine with it with a processor of Intel® Celeron® N4120 and with 4GB Emmc Ram i really hope you read this comment and take my words for a consideration Thank you

    • @basicdadtech
      @basicdadtech 17 годин тому

      I actually have tried out POP OS before. I did a video about 5 months ago and installed it on an old Optiplex. I’ll try that out on one of the Chromeboxes. Thank you.

    Pretty bad... But... 4:50 although it is slow it is still better than my 10.1 LG Tablet with I think 1 GB Ram. And Android 7.x... Most apps won't install and can't sign into Google really. I was able to download and install Aurora Store... which is a competitor to Google Play Store. At this point the best tablets are Amazon Fire tablets when they go on sale only. I got the latest 10 Fire Tablet, great speakers and great video playback. Some limitations... you can live with it some what... what you can't control is the constant advertising bar to download. I also make sure I don't have the advertising on ( you know the $15 upgrade). So my tablet was worth I think $85. And I got a credit and asked Amazon to take off the advertising... which they very reluctantly do - specially for seniors or those with issues like arthritis/dementia. My mother kept downloading the annoying video games - Candy Crush I think... among others... I had to keep deleting them. I do download Aurora Store... because you can still Google Apps ANONYMOUSLY... like Protonmail for email. Some games... obviously you can install the competition Walmart!!! I forget which others... but like if you like an app and is not in the fire store, then you can go to Aurora Store (download it from their website). Oh you can install Brave browser and when you play videos on Y-T it skips ads. Which are annoying. You can buy the Mygica TV tuner USB C and turn your tablet into a TV... as long as you buy adapter and install to house antenna. $30... adapter maybe $6... Like I said when on sale Fire Tablets are awesone! And if you know more recent adaptation like Audora Store, so don't install Google PlayStore and try to limit ads from Amazon... then you'll be happy. Or you can still F-droid and try to get by on open source apps but hatder

    @SeeJayPlayGames День тому

    5:39 yeah, good idea getting the larger RAM modules, but save the 2x 4GB sticks for the one that you're going to put a desktop build on. Actually maybe you'd want 2x 8GB sticks for modern distros. You'll probably be fine with just the 4GB for Batocera. EmulationStation and one emulator at a time isn't that memory intensive.

    Just snagged one of the rx 550’s for 30 bucks for my dirt cheap emulation pc and it works great for what I need. Just to geek about the rest of the build though, it has a core i3 6100 that I got for 7 dollars, a nearly new mini itx motherboard I got for another 35, another 35 for two new 8gb sticks of ram (at the time was the best deal on ram I could find) a 300w flex psu I got for free, a cooler I got for 10 bucks, a 1tb ssd for another 50, and a solid metal mini itx case that normally costs about 200 on AliExpress but I got sent for free by a client who never got back to me about the rest of the build. All in all cost me about 175 after taxes. Haven’t tried anything higher than GameCube but everything plays just fine as far as I can tell. No complaints for that personal cost.
