The ULTIMATE Budget Gaming System!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- We love games and we love to play them. But in 2018 we can surly have ONE gaming system that can play everything? Dedicated to gaming and completely controllable with a controller? ONE system that can play old, new, PC games, Console games... EVERYTHING! ....ALL FOR LESS THAN £300!?!?! ($380 USD)
So I am making it my mission to build one and this is the first one out the gates. The video is 50 mins long... terrilong I know, but I have allot of information and games to get through. I asked if you wanted it split or full and you said full... here you go!

More videos and builds like this on the way... Some cheaper, some more expensive. It's all thanks to you guys helping and making this channel what it is that gives me the chance to do this kind of thing. Thank you to everyone who has helped and those of you who even donated parts to make some of these happen and of course those of you who donated to my Patreon... I hope I did you all justice and you will all have the credits for all your help.
Please be aware that in the capturing of these videos the framerate and bitrate has been changed for them to show properly in this video. This means that the footage is not identical in quality to the original gameplay. I am not saying I have improved them, if anything they may seem choppy due to variable 30-60fps games being handbraked to a static 60 to be usable in my software and UA-cam.
You will need Windows 10. I am not including this in the budget as worst case scenario you can use fully fledged Windows 10, even Pro if you wanted to for free as long as you dont mind the WaterMark. But, in 2018, I am sure you can source a full version of Windows for free if you look hard enough.

WARNING!:
This video in regards to Emulation is made to encourage you to play your BACKUPS. In other words, THE GAMES WHICH YOU ALREADY OWN!. Please do not emulate any games which you do not already have on any systems which you do not own. Unless of course they are abandon/free-ware due to license or age.
Emulation for me is not about playing games I do not own. It is about playing games on another platform. In fact on my PC at 4k internal resolution 60fps with one controller... not having 200+ consoles set up with 600+ controllers tangled up!
ESPECIALLY, do not sell anything to do with this scene or be stupid enough to buy anything from this scene. Support Developers (especially SEGA) and pay for what you play!

FINALLY! I got this puppy up and running :D If there is any emulators or games you would like me to add for future videos like this let me know. On this one I just tried to get the more demanding ones. But ... its your content just as much as mine so you decide :D Also next Build already underway. Next video like this I will take you through actually BUILDING it and installing the software you need to make the magic happen!
Thanks for all your support, you are all AMAZING!
hey austin! love the video, but maybe a suggestion for next time, put the specs in first? benchmarks don't really mean anything to me unless i know what the hardware it's running on is. Just my thoughts though, obviously do whatever you think is good.
Simply Austin riyuginx is running 2d games at hunerds of fps
Yeah, I did originally have the build first then benchmarks, but it was boring hehe. Switched it but forgot to give the basic specs first. Formula will be changed a bit on next build.
Ryan... Yeah seen that mate. They got the 3D stuff going now to a little bit. Can't wait for those switch emus to kick in 😁
Simply Austin it looks amazing. hopefully this is available for android at some point.
@ 1:02 u say X-Box, what emulator to use? CXBX Reloaded?
This is probably the best video about Emulation as a whole. From a consumer point of view, this is pure gold.
No bull, no scam, no crap. Big probs to you Austin. You are practically a paragon of the pro consumer faction!
hehe thank you mate.... just trying to open up more games for more people. Games are here to be loved :D
If you want to see some classic emulation from the Xbox.
Check out classic vintage gamer on UA-cam.
An ex programmer for the Xbox.. so expect some quality video with a no nonsense feel.
yeah, i just wanted the game industry to focus on games, and forget consoles, i like nintendo games, and nintendo gamepads, i dont need the rest of their things, like the 3d in 3ds
Pro what? Pro gamer? There's no such thing.
@@gravyd316 consumer. Can you not read
You're making me want to build an emulation-specific PC for my living room. Stop it.
let it consume you
Do it ......just do it
Convinced the GF to let me. I'm starting mine rn.
I bought a Pi3b+ and returned it after seeing this
I'm almost complete with mine. I will be having a i5 8600k, 1060 6GB, 16GB RAM all in a Node 202.
please dont say it is a Souljaboy console with 4K HD streaming capabilities 😂
And also with not only nes and snes games but N64, gamecube, Wii and even 3ds, unlike the Soulja Boy console

Some items do not have a price and may need to find an alternate for your region. Just change the "country".
I just found your channel trying to figure out how to get back into gaming after a decade away from it. Thank you for all of your videos, I realize how much work goes into it and look forward to your return and supporting you in the future! Hope all is well.
Agreed
Great video. I essentially built my pc from a mix of new and used parts a few years ago. I spent about £400 in total for an I7 3770, 16gb ram, 1050TI GPU. I bought the computer off of an auction site for £150 and upgraded the ram, gpu and a cheeky ssd. Thanks for this information it was great seeing the games running and their performance with the setup. It would be interesting to see results from an upgraded version of this setup. Cheers, jon
That intro was almost as drawn out as the beginning of kingdomhearts 2
You can tell, a lot of love went into this video. Thanks Austin :)
Thank you mate. I really enjoyed it. But 50 mins.... Hehe never again!!
Simply Austin of course haha. You went over the top, and I appreciate it :)
Austin is quality my friend, never disappoints
Amazing as always Austin - your hard work, effort and dedication is always appreciated. What would be nice to see (especially for us part timers) is if there are certain essential tweaks to the OS that will give the best performance to a dedicated gaming machine. Any essential software that we should have / use (apart from the obvious drivers, file extractors etc.). You may have already covered this so apologies if you have. Thanks again
Where's the parts list for this build? CPU, MOB, GPU, Memory, PSU, Case.?
MattS_RANTZ49 44:43
All he does is ramble on throughout the entire video trying to explain every single part and it's benefits and cons based on the time of recording considerations. Like just give the parts and specs in the description and stop trying to get views and likes. This alone loses a like from me.
CPU= i5 2500
RAM = 8GB
MOB = Doesn't really matter, it's really just a conduit (think of a house with no furniture).
GPU = 1050 NVidia GPU
PSU = really doesn't matter either, just get a recommended for your CPU/MOB
Case = Really? cmon
Just look up cpu and ram on ebay for a used pc, much better than trying to source parts. Many non-technical folks selling cheap pc's and some also selling corporate discards.
So with these components I could run {Every Nintendo game, every PlayStation game, every Xbox game, every Nintendo handheld, every SEGA game, and every PC game} for $350? Really?
Awesome job mate! Looking forward to the next setup. Can you please show how to get launchbox to open on boot without having to manually start it everytime if possible?
Sure mate, I will try and include that in the video. Next one will be more tutorial based so it shout suit it
You can do this with a batch file (automated Command Prompt commands) or see if you can find it in MSCONFIG
Not sure if you are still out there but we miss your videos! The in depth things. There have been so many new chips and builds you could tackle any ways hope to see ya again!
It is always a pleasure to hear you voice commentating on videos.
Keep up the good work mate.
Thank you kind Sir :D
For the most bang for your buck, I recommend the 2TB Seagate Firecuda. Plenty of space for overhead and the Hybrid Drive interface will give you the read/write speed you need to run modern PC games with no issues. The plus size is if you look around you can get one for $100US or less.
Jesus, that is one hell of a gaming room
Push it to the limit!
Charsept His room is my dream in my room lol
@@SimplyAustins One of my favorite tracks on Rick Ross "Port Of Miami" album. Lol
Gaming...... room?
Can only ask for more, that's exactly the kind of build I'm into: a build that can handle modern games and "modern" emulation in the same time without going above the price tag of the most modern gaming consoles! Its around 450£ for an Xbox One X, 360£ for a PS4 Pro or 300$ for a Switch so to reach the average console budget you still have an extra 70£ to make the best out of it! Of course there's the controller and peripherals but still... Can't wait to see the results with the other CPU you mention in the video (and kinda looking forward to know what CPU is this to make my own build!) Keep up the good work!
actually you don't need 1333mhz ram, you can put even faster memory, it will just solw down to 1333
True, bit then it's a bit of a waste tbh
Make sure you always buy married sets of ram to ensure you can have dual channel or quad or whatever they're upto these days .
By not marrying your sets.. you're doing yourself a disservice.
May as well go to the shed and smash your big toe with a mash hammer.
It took me like 6 minutes until I realized this wasn’t just speculation and you VAing hypothetical scenarios. Sweet video!
I've been planning on learning how to do this for so long. Just started the video, I'm so amped!
Hope it helps mate 😁 I got another on the way soon
You practically built my current PC. Been running it for years now. That core i5 2500 was very popular, for good reason.
About the rig, I have a similar one: A 3570K. And I did put a 1080 there. Only now in 2018 I'm steping on games that actually can't use 1080 at max because of the CPU. But if you think a little, 1080 is a 4k30 type of card. So the 3570k actually IS OK. And maybe it is OK to put a more powerfull card and it'll be still OK.
yeah mate, its very much game dependant. Like I said in video, its notmally only a 1-5% loss. But its also very much game related. Games that require CPU grunt effected more
Quite a few games should run at 60 FPS at 4K on that card (albeit possibly not on Ultra settings). I had a similar i5 3470 and that even bottlenecked my old 7950 in games like BF1 and just made the system feel sluggish. Much happier with a Ryzen 5 1600. Assuming you have a Z77 board, you should try and nab an i7 3770K if possible.
3770k don't give much increase compared with 3570k. This family have problematic HT tech. 3770k is only 10% faster than the 3570k. I recently overclocked to 4.4gHz and this made my PC run more games better. This system already have 5 years and I'm doing some extra hours with it until PC tech stabilizes again.
CPU tech still vertiginously increasing and we are in the dawn of GDDR6, PCIe 4.0 and 5.0 and some other minor things. 8 real core CPU may be transient to a higher core count that may arrive as soon as next year.
It's a bad time to buy a new computer. We're still getting old tech with new CPUs.
Otávio Módolo Can't agree - intel has achieved the strongest single core possible now, if you compare your i5 to a modern one you'll find it's at least 50% single core ahead and mulicore has improved. Cpus are not gpus - performance can't be pushed as fast as gpus.
There is no such thing as impossible. Single thread performance didn't go that high. According to Passmark, my 3570k scores around 2000 points. The 8600k scores around 2500. That's just 25% performance increase. The clock speed increase is about 13% showning that was very minor IPC increase since 3th gen.
Now, if you take a close look on what happened to ryzen in comparison with FX them we get this: FX8370 - 1500, Ryzen 1800x - 1950. 30% increase. Ryzen 2700x - 2200. 46% (!!!!) increase. I expect that Zen2 will have 10% more increase in single core performance making around 2500 points and marking 65% increase over FX series. And in less time than Intel. I think this proves my point.
Conclusion: Intel is selling the very same proc since sand bridge (as there is no diference between a 2500k and a 3570k aside from PCIe 3 support). There were almost no improvements since 2012.
Forgot to mention: AMD actually is much cheaper.
US Customers can often go to a mom and pop shop for PCs and get an Intel Stock cooler either cheap, or if you're friends, they'll often just give you one as they swap them out on custom builds.
This looks like Kodis library mixed with gaming emulators. I literally need a 3 week vacation from work and maybe 2 OZs of medical trees and this setup. :D
The best kind of build to showcase what PC's all about.
Btw have you also been keeping up with CEMU. It has been doing well and CEMU 1.13.0 and 1.14.0 are gonna release soon. Are you going to do a setup video for it? You have helped us alot with all Emulator setups so I hope you do 😁
I hear 1.13 came out today... Will take a look mate see if hey did anything big. Need to update that video
That emulator is the bane of my life, I swear to god ! Just an absolute hassle to install
ಠ_ಠ it is true, it took me so long to figure it out. But once you get it working then installing a new building for it becomes easy. I recommend watching BSoD Gaming he's like Austin except mainly for Cemu.
Salman Khan
It's his videos I use as a guide. Tried to install it again earlier as this is a new gaming rig I've built so obviously need a fresh install. Didn't realise the program you use for downloading games is no longer supported so had to download the work-around which flagged up with a bunch of malware. Managed to get zelda plus it's update and DLC, selected graphics packs blah blah blah, try to start the game, shit tells me to update wii U before I can play zelda, change some numbers in notepad, that works, game starts then crashes on the bright light screen where the pointy eared bitch is telling link to wake up.... Cancer.
I just give the fuck up with the emulator, man. I'll reinstall when they have their shit together and make it as simple as install and play instead of this fucking Da Vinci code bullshit 👎🏼
ಠ_ಠ I laughed way too hard at this 😂😂😂
I know the pain bro. I build my PC in December and I was so excited to use Cemu, and it was a pain. My heart broke when it said I can't play Zelda cause I need to update shit. I had to watch sooooo many videos on that. And I got my games from Ziperto, I didn't even know that program for getting games existed. Like bruhhh.
Now I'm just waiting for the switch emulator. 😂
Cool Rob Hubbard sid32-chip music!!!! The days and nights as a ten year old spent listening to him, and Jeff Minter, and Martin Galway - priceless melancholy: thank you. And an awesome result for 300 quid. I feel a build coming on for my daughters' upgrade PC and that spare Horipad Switch controller that's knocking about in one of the boxes somewhere.
I wasn't expecting much out of this but mate, you've knocked it out of the park! I did purchase a SFF pre-built system with an i5 3470 and 8GB of RAM for around $100 and I stuck a good old GT 1030 in there and it's worked great! I'm eventually going to upgrade it to a GTX 1050 TI which I hope will make it even more awesome. Honestly, I think it's more cost effective to go the pre-built system route but you did a wonderful job buying all of these parts and building it yourself. Can't wait for more videos on this
Yeah, I do like the ex business ones. Only issue is you never know what's inside that motherboard most of the time hehe I bought a few now that are some wierd size or PCI express slot. So much cheaper if you get lucky though!
I'm a sucker for hunting bargains and squeezing what I can hehe.
I was shocked to see RPCS3 on this though
Very true. I was surprised to see that this was all at 1080p and over 30fps for most of the time. My PC can only do up to 900p at 30fps but that comes down to my GPU
Yeah, those GPUs ain't built for Res. I been testing a 960 out. They are cheap and faster than the 1050... But need more power and cooling
That’s my main problem with those pre-builds. The limited space eliminates the possibility of using a lot of GPUs. And even if space weren’t a problem, the cooling and PSUs are usually so bad that you can’t put a super powerful GPU in there without risking one thing or another
SkipChip 1050 or 1050ti's are great for those reasons, low power consumption & small in size, as long as there is 1 pci slot available.👍
Okay, here's a challenge for you. There is a way to connect a PSVR headset to a PC and use it for PC VR games. Let's say our budget gamer takes that approach for VR so as to minimize costs. (Yeah, I'm looking for a used PSVR headset to do just that.) How would your budget gaming rig handle the added requirements for a VR game? Taking things a bit further and throwing emulation into the mix, Dolphin is able to set up full VR for GameCube and Wii games that obviously didn't have it to begin with. Metroid Prime 3 is known for working exceptionally well in VR, and the game's HUD even helps to prevent VR motion sickness.
So to recap, how does your budget gaming PC handle the Dolphin emulator, running Metroid Prime 3 (preferably at 1080p and at least 60 FPS to minimize motion sickness, but 90 FPS would be preferred for VR), on a VR headset?
Also, there is a driver out there that lets you convert non-VR games into VR as well. On the PC side of things, how about a racing game and an FPS game to test that out? To make it a bit easier, I believe one of the most popular converted games is Bioshock, which is fairly old and should be incredibly easy to run without the additional driver. It's mainly popular in VR obviously because of the setting and atmosphere.
Austin, Thanks for this build. You're a Godsend Mate. Keep it up!
Thank you kind sir... I hope it helps 😁
my experience with launchbox has been a total mess. It is so convoluted. Good for you that you figured it out.
I hate when people say "Nintendo have never been about cutting edge hardware" the NES was cutting edge for the time, The SNES, N64 and gamecube was also very cutting edge hardware.
Well, he probably just worded it wrong, he meant "in current times" since nintendo has been using shitty hardware for the las 3 generations
Mistic DW indeed it was... my first system as a kid was SNES and I was 5 and the N64 was omg the best !!!
How was the GameCube cutting edge? It didn’t seem to be Compared to the ps2 and Xbox...
@@kryptkeeper457 According to Google:
Hardware on the GameCube was actually quite a bit more powerful than the PS2, and it came in a smaller form factor (at least before the slim). The PS2 had some great looking games because it was popular; over its long lifespan, a huge amount of game developers were able to learn how to fully utilize its hardware. This wasn't the case for the GC, which is why many people think that it was nothing special technologically.
The original Xbox was the fastest of the three, but it was a big boi.
that explains it.@@kcaltemptation
Three things Austin.
Firstly.. congrats on making this budget system that can even make PS3 games work..
2ndly.. this is such a breathe of fresh air and I may even consider building a table console.. to hold my coffee.
3rdly.. if you can do this for a budget system.. I am scared to see what you can do with a full "no limits" system.. even glycol cooling to make it the most smoothest and quietest system..
My main question.
How many controllers can be programmed for this programme..
I mean.. can I configure a set of controllers from each system , bar say PlayStation..
Yayayayaya it's simply Austin in a fifty minute video that appeals to me!
Hehe, your the only one! 😉
Surely others know of your glory!
This seems like a dream build.
Unfortunately I can't even spend a cent on a PC build right now, but I really like this video, keep up the good work!
Great Video Austin! Can't wait to see what you do for a straight Emulation Machine that's the ticket for me!
Yeah, I already got the bits, just need to find the right combo that is the cheapest for all emus. Luckily only low end GPU is needed as they ain't hardly touched at reasonable Res
I built a gaming PC several years ago(around 2013 or '14), and although it may have begun to lag behind in modern titles I haven't found an emulated title it can't play. I'm even able to bump the resolution on Dolphin and pcsx2 to 3x or 4x the native, and have a bit of a better graphical experience than the original system. My point behind this is that I use an ASUS R9 290 and have no issues with OpenGL.
I found your channel today 03-08-2018 and only watched 2 of your videos, I'm really impressed with your contents and the way of your tutorial is just awwwwesomeeeee...... I'll try many of your tutorials in near future....
Thank you kind Sir, I hope that they help you out :D
Unless you buy these parts on ebay used your prices for the US are pretty far off. The I5 2500 New in the US is around $129.99 Used Aliexpress has one for $56 and Ebay $44.44 The Gtx 1050 low profile is around $124 New and $52-70 on ebay. So I guess if your brave enough to buy used ebay stuff you can get pretty close to your price even beat a few since I didn't account for the currency conversion :P Great video tho, I have some old I5's laying around from some alienware pc's I might try this or a simular build. Thanks Austin!
I thought this was gonna be one of those clickbaity videos
But this
This is great, content like this is rare in UA-cam
Subbed!
Great video Austin, glad you stuck to intel, Nvidia and went down the mini ITX route as I think it makes the most sense for a optimal and compatible lounge gaming system. Ultimately it’s about building the best system within a said budget which you did, would be nice to see what you can come up with for £500, maybe a 1070 and watch everything fly!!!
You've put in some hours here, another great video :)
Thank you kind sir 😁
NEWS ABOUT EMUPARADISE ( for those who aren't aware)
The games on the site are still available. The database of files haven't been taken down, but merely has had code set in place to make it appear unavailable. Installing a chrome extension such as 'Tamper Monkey' that includes a 'download workaround' feature will add an extra option in the Direct Download section of the ROM's page called 'Download using the workaround script'. Clicking on this, will instantaneously download the games Zip file onto your pc. Happy emulating :)
(side note: as for nintendo games, simply searching and then 'emuparadise' into google, will find the page that was taken down from the games site.
What a ridiculous intro dude you said time and time again...... Time and time again
When he says "OSTINIAR" I just go like AAAAAAAH FUCK ME SENPAI
It would be really interesting to emulate uncommon systems like the pc-fx, x68000, 3do, cdi ect. We've all seen the Nintendo's and Sega's emulation, it's all over youtube lol. Hope to see you cover something uncommon. Cheers
No worries matey. Will do something with those. Most of them can be done in retroarch. Will see if I can do a dedicated video for some obscure system setups
Pretty sure I saw something for a 3do emulator. There's definitely a pc-fx and cdi emulator.
There are some uncommon systems on the list of emulators on Emuparadise, like Bandai systems,
NEVER skimp on the PSU. Always get a 80+ Bronze or better rated PSU, Although I'd personally recommend getting 80+ Gold.
This is not for power efficiency reasons, it's to protect your system.
Power supplies fail, it's a fact of life. The problem comes in when your power supply actually fails. It starts providing unsteady power, shooting power spikes through the system, or worse. I've actually seen a case where a failing power supply over-volted the CPU so strongly on a power spike that the CPU melted (it did not have a cheap heatsink either).
Cheap power supplies typically only have a lifespan of 2-3 years, if you're lucky, before they fail; and when they fail, they fail in ways that can destroy other parts of your computer, more often than not having power spikes and over-voltages.
A 80+ Bronze or better power supply will last at least 5 years before failing, an 80+ Gold can last 10-15 years if you're lucky; and not only do they have more safety measures built in to protect the rest of your system, they also tend to fail in ways that cause under-voltages, rather than over-voltages. And an under-volt isn't going to damage any of your components.... Just cause some semi-frequent really weird and near impossible to track down or reproduce random glitches (glitches like that are almost always caused by either failing power supplies or faulty RAM).
THE LEGEND HAS RETURNED. I MISSED YOU!!
Missed you guys too. This one took forever hehe
Big thumbs up for using Launchbox I have it in my living room and it's absolutely the best front end I've ever used. The developer is constantly improving it and putting out youtube content. It is top notch!
This is awesome and quite inspiring tbh. Will definitly try and put together an emulator rig now.
Get in mate :D Re live the classics and enjoy the new stuff :D
This guys videos put me to sleep! He should sell them as a sleep aid video!!😁😁😁
When will the next build come?? 2019?
@Ken or nick Mcwilliam haha
You're a legend and inspired me to build an emulation rig. My childhood memories of playing classic games will become a reality. A million thanks I'm sending your way.
Never imagined someone stretched the video for 50 min
Hahaha he's never getting to the point xD
To those that browse looking for specs - I got some recommendations that might just save some money with the same effects.
As CPU, look for a i5-2500K with a suiting mobo, as you can achieve decent overclocks and good performance for low end gaming. Youre bound to use ddr3 ram that way, but there's worse. 8Gb used shouldnt be above 20€. Get some PSU for 20-30€ used, aswell as storage (SSD preferably). The case doesnt matter too much, id say try to make it as small as possible of a build as possible in order to make it more console-ish. The graphics card: I wouldnt go for a 1050. You can get gtx 770's that outperform the 1050 by a decent margin for way less money. You could intead also look for amd alternatives (r9 280x etc.), yet im not 100% sure which cards perform better with emulators.
All of this refers to used hardware, as that would be the cheapest, and most environmentally friendly option for an emulation rig.
I love your passion man!
Thanks mate, just love this kinda thing
I think this is actually a pretty sensible, affordable build. The only issue that puzzles me is if the CPU and the board do still get BIOS support for Meltdown and Specter. If they do, there should be nothing to stop people to try a hand on it, but if they don't then a build based on newer parts should be better (mainly CPU and board), even though it's bound to be more expensive.
Ill prob just copy this exact build, then extend upon it after time... Getting better gpus and jazz then getting fancier cases further down the road...
Then make a fight stick for pc/ps3/ps4...
And then maybe a portable pi emulator system...
As of today, everything but the motherboard is available on Amazon. As an alternative, I'm going to recommend the Intel DH77DF as it has the most similar specs. Sadly, it'll cost you quite a bit more, even used, as it runs around $125 (£95). Considering that both the CPU and the mobo are both Intel products now, it might run slightly better.
I can't wait till one day we'll have a mini pc that can run emulators from the atari 2600 to the PS4,Switch, and Xbox one (4k since that'll be the norm in the future). From that point I'll be happy to just have that and never really upgrade.
It's crazy just how good the 2500 is. I mean, the 2500 came out in 2010 and in 2018 people are still regularly making builds that use it. Absolutely insane.
this budget pc looks really good for the price!
Got to spend it in the right places to get the max... the next one is TINY!
summary 44:43
CPU: i5 2500
RAM: min. 8GB
GPU: min. GTX 1050
MoBo: GA H77N-wifi
HDD: any
PSU: min. 500w with 80 plus bronze certificate
Case: any that fits
Wow, i watched it all, amazing content, the best emulation video i ever seen!
Here some ideas for next vídeos : A Powerful CPU with Onboard GPU
A CPU like Pentium G but Overclocked.
Thank you mate.... Hmmmmm interesting I will check those. I heard some people talking about that latest pentium Gs. They say intel trying to meet the overclock. Will have to research
Yeah, the Pentium G when overclocked can beat most of the I3 ( at least in benchmarks ).
Ryzen 3 2200G
Check out ETA PRIME's channel. He did such testing. And the newer/younger the Emulators get, the more GPU power you need. APUs/iGPUs simply don't cut it anymore.
Even on "older" Emulators like PCSX2 (PS2), you can't run demanding games like Shadow of the Colossus. Without massive slow downs, if you lack a dedicated GPU. Even strong Overclocking cannot bridge this gap.
Sadly its all AMDs fault. Not only are their APUs garbage aka vastly underpowered, when it comes to graphics performance. As mentioned in this video, AMDs OpenGL implementation is crap. Never use AMD GPUs for emulation.
Think about it for a moment, if Emulation would work properly with AMD GPUs. All you'll need, is an APU. Both gamers and AMD could only profit from this. An awesome Emulation machine, at the size of a NUC. Hope dies last they say...
TheKingGamer Gameplays or a ryzen 2200g
On cemu you can use optimizations to get higher frame rates. I use a i3 and gtx 1050 and I can get consistently 60fps
Love your videos didn't think you uploaded anymore
I indeedy doo... this one has taken me a looooooong time though :D
Simply Austin my arcade is causing me a ball ache. Over pixelation in certain emulators
jump on Discord mate... lots of people helping there :D
Simply Austin nice one cheers. Don't fancy looking for a fee do you?
Sorry mate. It's a can of worms I don't like to open any more. I used to team view but people started doing silly things and now I just don't get involved 😥 but I and the regulars normally over the discord stuff. They quite helofull... I'm on phone till tomorrow though so not much help at mo
At the 1060 point, just get a GTX 980 Ti. It's older and may appear to be clocked slower, but don't be fooled: it has more core components that help out! If you play your cards right, you can even get a GTX 980 Ti for near the price of a 1050, and most 980 TIs can be overclocked slightly to give even more power. That and the 980s typically had more GPU ram, so it renders the whole DDR3 thing inert.
Heh... If you play your CARDS right...
But seriously, buying a 980ti over a 1060 is a bad idea unless you can get it cheaper.
Awesome video mate and well worth the wait.
Thank you kind sir
There are def some bargains out there. Got an older generation mini atx 1155 mobo for £20 , an i5 3470s cpu for £31 and found an asus gtx 1050 for £60 with a bit of haggling. I’m already £54 ahead of Austin.
Haha seee!! Told you guys... Easy to find this stuff and even cheaper if you look 😁 well done mate, means allot to think someone else has found gold!
Cheers Austin, and may have found a tower case with 500W psu for £10 all in, if so make that £92 ahead lol. Should have a comp for the cheapest build that can do 60fps at 1080p
Hi Simply Austin :) I would like more arcade system in test on your builds : taito type EX, nesicaxlive, moderne 3D arcade (ghost squad and other) etc. I build my arcade room only for those games, so if you can test some of them on your budeget build it would be appreciated becaus the choice of PC parts is a huge question for me. Thanks !
Where is the updated build (what is the new cpu ?
I have been slowly working towards this same end goal.
My Specs
Hp 8300 sff
I5 3570
8 gig ddr3
1050ti low profile
240 ssd and 3tb 7200 rpm hd
Win10 and emulationstation/retroarch
32 inch 720p tv/monitor.
Only way to game mate
Good to have you back Austin. One of my favorite channels. Keep up the amazing content
Thank you UA-cam who recommend this vid
errr - rgb lights add 5-10 fps? Is Nvidia aware? :p
ROG have patented it 😁
Simply Austin It's just like the racing stripes
dont forget to add a sonic plushie inside so it gotta go fast
also give it a sonic plushie so it gotta go fast
yep, 5 extra fps for every different color you use
The GTX 1050 does wonders! I'm using one on my 2011 PC, with an AMD Phenom II X4 955 and 6 GB RAM. Works great with current gen games.
Your videos are oustanding. the longer the better. Would love to see the actual build being put together too.
Thanks mate :D I hope to focus more on the build aspect of it in the next video so people have something to work off with this :D
The reason why I adore PC is because of the flexibility for playing any platform based games on it. Honestly great for game developing too
i love you r videos
and thank you so much for your
hard working
Thank you for watching mate :D
I am so glad that there is a channel like yours where I can get so much info about emulation. You're doing a splendid work and I hope to see more of your videos in future. Thank you.
Fortnight can go into a hole and cry untill it drowns
hehe I feel ya. Its not a bad game, but my YT feed is full of it!
Did it do anything wrong to you? It's just a pvp game.

Im excited for the next Emulation Build!
What a great video! Props to you Austin!
You know, it warms my heart that all new Xbox games now come with a version for Windows, eliminating the need for a console. It's great too since the Xbox appears to be a very troublesome console to emulalte. We've only now got a proper Original Xbox emulator, and still have a long way to go for 360.
True that mate! Yeah Xbox have made things so much easier. Love the fact halo is on the way to pc again finally hehe
Kescarte DeJudica lol I have large catalog of 360 games available to play on my Xbox one. And a growing list of og Xbox coming as well
Me too Austin, really looking forward to it!
Good for you Versatile! I still have an Xbox 360 that I use to play older titles. I picked it up for $19.
Simply Austin lol every halo game is Xbox one currently. No need to wait for a PC version. Not many of the Xbox catalog isn't available either considering emulation for og Xbox and 360 aren't quite there. Even ps3 isn't there yet.
Simply Austin Thank you for the early birthday present I really love what you've done keep up the amazing work😁
Thank you kind sir
And happy birthday!!!
That's one epic intro ;)
Hehe, I get carried away
Hats off to you i know how much work this video was to make!
Thanks for loving and sharing so much Austin shall Jesus guide you.
I made the very same thing but with Emulation Station on windows, it works like a charm with all the emulators and the windows games as well! But... well, I spent somenthing more than 380 USD to handle PS3 emu and to play Rachet and Clank in a clean and smoot way! =) and... crysis! XD
LIES!!!!!!! No one can run Crysis ;)
cool bro. What's your setup? What are the components you used? And what emulator you used for ps3?
there is only one emulator that I know, RPCS3. My specs are i5 8500 and gtx 1060 6gb, 16gb ram
@@hapkful
Cool bro, thanks
Hey Austin, I don't normally leave a response. I really like your channel. Please make more videos. I miss your videos. They are better than most that are available in your tube.
Great video as normal definitely gonna give this ago.
Let us know how you get on mate 😁
50 mins why will I waste my life just for this ( comment added 1 day ago from editing today) but I will subscribe)
$20 for every game ever... if that isnt a steal idk what is
Alex Diaz the software costs 20$ but has no games included! And there's also a free version
Alex Diaz well, it would be stealing...
devinbart then how u get games
@@kamith3984 vims lair
Awesome video...
I can't wait for your pure emulation video...
Thanks for showing launch box some love Austin! Love that software! It's great I highly recommend it it's not outlandishly priced for what it does. It pretty much sets itself up.
yeah, they done great work and in comparison with others, its abreeze to get running :D
Simply Austin next time be sure to show off the Kodi plugin in the next one. ;) One of the best things for building a media PC :)
DataPhile its not free?
Nice, I've got most systems running on my PC except ps4 and xbox one, so i'll be paying close attention to this video to see how that's possible!
I want a system which can play everything from old consoles like SNES,N64 up to ps2.. :/
Basic pc is best option mate. I got an i3 build on way. That's half this price and everything up to PS2 and 3DS
Is there a emulator or something for PS2? Because PCSX2 is unplayable with NFS Underground 2 or other games like that with their "speed" in game. its all blurred... because the emulators are weaker than a original console.
There is play! But it's quite early for that one. Have you checked the compatible list? Sometimes games need a certain setting
Most ps2 games run at 99% compatibility in 4k@60 w/ 16x aa on modern hardware in pcs2x. Running native settings should work fine on any i3. But a few games have compatability issues.
Let me bet, there isn´t a way to play all ps2 games without changing profile/settings all the time? If need game X other settings like game Y.
1:43 I built mine more powerful than a ps4 pro for less than the price of a regular ps4. I'm just saying spending thousands is absolutely ridiculous
Original Xbox emulation is possible?
Nope, the problem with emulating the og xbox isn't the lack of power in pcs these days. It has to do with how the sound is emulated. Microsoft used a very customized sound card in the original xbox, it's so complicated to emulate It still hasn't been done. You can look ou into it a bit more but I believe sound is main reason still no og xbox emulator.
Just hold on, we get closer and closer everyday
Looking forward to your next build...
