I dig how these things look! They didn't just fix up some old, junked PCs, wipe'em down, and shove'em out the door. They made the effort to throw together those slick, translucent cases. So Props to them for the presentation and cool looking hardware. As for the system itself, for $80 it looks legit. It's not gonna be a great experience but for the money it could work. Probably better than a Pandora Box at that cost also.
What do you recommend as the best device currently for all in one, fully loaded.
Looking for a system with all the roms, runs smoothly, good controllers. Ideally under 200. As long as performance is good, controllers are responsive, and can connect to 4ktv.
Just so many choices out there, hard to determine what isn't garbage.
Interested in all the old snes, genesis, nes, master system. I also want it to be able to run sega saturn at least with all the games.
Thank you
I have this device. It is a good one but in order to boost the performance i cloned the HDD with an SSD and i got an instant FPS raise of at least 20%
Wow. That means it's using a hard drive cache for extra memory. Yikes.
If that's the case and it is using hard drive cache as mentioned, would upgrading the ram work as well? I think he said it has 4gb?
how do you clone to a SSD??
@@modern_methodThere are several ways, but the last time I did it I used Clonezilla.
@modern_method easy you just copy all the files off the HD to SSD
10 year old pc, sounds like my laptop I use
For me... the build is everything...
Am I asking too much that the roms are clean, organized and tested? If it doesn't play right... it doesn't belong.
China... if you are listening... if you want to get a skeptical American buyer to take a chance on your system.... make sure your build is TIGHT. We don't care about 75,000 games, we'd be happy with 10k that work. Give us that, and you're gonna sell a lot of units.
On top of that... you only gotta do it once... then just adjust it for different hardware.
The messy rom dump stuff is an IMMEDIATE no for me.
Unfortunately most people are dumb and will choose to buy the system that advertises 70,000 games instead of 10,000
I did buy a preloaded mini pc bundle a few years back that used Batocera 30, it was OK but to get the most out of it it's always better to upgrade the os version to a more recent version and seek out your own rom collections to put it on. I've replaced many of the bin cue, iso, gdi roms with CHD but I was able to add more games as a result and I also stripped out the video media which takes up quite a bit of space. If you want the best experience with PS2 and gamecube emulation, a gpu or an AMD cpu that supports Vulkan will outperform intel graphics.
@@shoot_the_glass5654 It is a bad idea to change everything to CHD, as CHD needs more memory and faster CPU to unpack data.
thats so cool its on my christmas wish list. thanks bud.
Man, I want something this size that focuses on playing Windows 95/98/XP games and reads cds. FPGA maybe
Yeah , I don't get why anyone would want this thing, it be better off as a office PC , probably would play old *RTS Warcraft 1,2,3 Diablo 1, Doom maybe even "Heroes of Might and Magic*. Crazy to see *SEGA Saturn* and *Gamecube* was literally going to make this horrible device explode 😅
Lol. This is exactly what I'm working on with one of my old motherboards. The only difference is that mine was to be a all in one media center. With some games added. Was still working on a case and power for it.
i bought a redmi pad se brand new for $140 with 8gb ram, and it emulates as good as this if not better for some titles. And it's portable, too. Also runs hl2,ep1/ep2 portal and counter strike source ( at a decent res,, medium settings, 90+ fps). Also plays warcarft 3, diablo 2, homm 3, red alert 2, even cod4, oblivion and up to mw3 is perfectly playable, also, all the android games ever made, so i don't see a point to these things, especially since most people have a pc way more capable already.
Nice vid.
For me, it's all about the controller support and how dialed it is for the different consoles. Been a fan of you since your Odroid XU4 stuff and that device had power but the controllers always needed endless tweaking in ES
Batocera does all that for you
Interesting device. E-waste is a growing concern. I have a few old laptops I've repurposed, can't throw them away. ROM dumps suck. Nobody needs 70k games but the number sells drives/devices. Then people realize after a month that they don't play 69k of them and another bunch dont run right. 😂
Hell it looks better for gaming than a firestick
I'd hope so
This is a good way to upcycle old computers honestly. But Clone the HDD to an SSD as soon as you get this.
What does that mean?!?!
@@o-datsingh7296 copy the hard drive provided to a solid state drive
In 99.99% games change from HDD to SSD will not change anything, as CPU (and sometimes GPU) will be a bottleneck.
Dam tho , this is a recycled PC ? sorta hard to believe , what did they use win95 or DOS pc. It's struggling hard
@@joezar33It has an intel Celeron Processor 1037U 2M Cache, 1.80 GHz which was launched in Q1 2013. It is not from Win95 or DOS era. That CPU was for very light tasks like display ads in stores. It sucks for gaming. So better buy some old PC from Ebay than this crap.
"this is cool dude"...
I am betting that grade 4 was the hardest 6 years of his life.
Imo this is much better than buying raspberry pi's just to let them in a drawer collecting dust after people move on to the next thing.
Preach
So what are the System Specs? What CPU, Video Chipset? Is it a Celeron, Pentium i3, i5?
I’m watching the video now as long as they have a killer instinct on his bad boy that would be awesome
Someone might fact check me but wasn't the After Years released in segments/chapters so that's why there are multiple versions?
I bought an HP Elitedesk 705 G4 (USFF) with a Ryzen 3 2200 GE for that money. Swapped the ram for 8 gigs dual channel (4+4) and it runs batocera 40 from USB. Runs PS2 without hacks, OpenGL, at 3x no problem, even Snowblind Engine games (tested Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 1 & 2 PAL Versions, fires also didn't cause any slowdown or glitches) at 100%. Don't buy crappy emulation boxes.
I picked this up and there is some serious controller lag no matter what you play. Even atari lags like crazy. Tried 8bitdo and the controllers it came with. Even scrolling through the menu to pick a game lags or sometimes scroll on its own.
Truthfully, the games look incredibly sharp. Though, I can’t help but wonder if there are settings in order to make these games wide screen without stretching them. I know some emulators allow you to do that with 4:3 content. Have you checked the settings to see how you can manipulate the video and audio? I may pick a more powerful version of something like this up soon. As there are so many of the classic games that I would love to play. Though, I would want the hardware running these games to be powerful enough to run them without slow down or hitches. Up to possibly through the Xbox 360/PS3 era. I know some of them are even emulating Xbox one and PS4 stuff now.
Whew, too choppy for me. I'll wait another year and see if they've got it worked out for PS2 and it would have been great to see some actual Wii games played other than the VC stuff. Great to see those Rebirth games though, but I want to see if it'll run The Last Story or something of that nature. Also curious about GC.
Just buy a computer and set it up or use an old computer if you have one 🤔
I got the exact one but with black enclosure which was all beaten up from packaging. I just use the board for my arcade cabinet but later replaced with a full size pc board and clone it to ssd.
that's amazing..
The WiiWare titles listed numerous times are likely the dlc which would require some work to get running with the base game
I have an out dated laptop I never use Im planning on turning that into an emulator console
Thank you fot pointing out that temus problems aren't just Chinese sellers. I'm wanting to get one of these units but am unsure which one, so I'm hoping to get eome good advice from your channel and others like it. I used to be a heavy gamer, but lost a lot of interest when every console I'd buy would crap out within a week or two! The last one being the Xbox 360 elite, which destroyed games the first day I had it!! Needless to say I've got a bad taste in my mouth after that B.S. especially at thoughs prices. Do you have any recommendations? I enjoy all sorts of genres, more so FPS, RPG, and RACING. LOVE YOUR CONTENT I FIND IT VERY HELPFUL AND INFORMATIVE.
What is the best one that you have tested and you like?
Nice little system but i just recently got around to building a emulation machine with an old ryzen pc and it runs all upto ps2,gamecube etc and only cost me just under £50 ($55) so not a bad buy at all.Runs all what ive thrown at it with some tweaking here and there running retrobat on it as a front end for all emulators.
Wot hardware did U purchase?
Imagine is Adventure Rebirth had been included in the Dominus collection.
Such a good game too, I wonder why we didn't get it?
There was Castlevania, Contra, and Gradius. These 3 Rebirth games were WiiWare titles. And they're not 'as easy' to find now as they were. You still can but it'll require some digging. We did just get the DS Castlevania games recently, just out of nowhere, so maybe, unless there's a very specific reason. I'd like to think it's possible we'll see something more.
If you want to pcheck emulation speed, try some of the latest Amiga Aga games with exact emulation settings. It kills almost anything. An xbox on pc is not a big deal, same system.. also most of 3d consoles emulation needs gpu not cpu power. Amiga emulation can’t be accelerated with gpu, it is very cpu hungry due all the special chips of the system. (That’s why Amiga emulating softwares have the settings for different fidelity levels like blitter emulation, sprite emulation and so on. Cycle exact modes are big cpu killer.
Biggest question is of what quality are the game controllers? Wouldn't expect them to compare well against something like the better 8bitdo (@ $40 each), but if they are decent...clone the disk to NVME or SATA SSD, and drop it in an N100 board....maybe dig up and older 2G Nvidia or RTX GPU from the junk bin...Think we might really have something capable of emulating some much higher end consoles. and still stay around $200.
What would be a good price for a plug and play that will play n64 and maybe GameCube? Thank you
Hey mlp big fan of the channel hope all is well I was curious to know if this has silent hill 2 and 3 and if it does does it run well thanks man take care
i wish someone would make something like this but with a current gen AMD APU. no duped games i would pay $300-$350
cool! can you try the similar model that has a 3865U CPU?
is this one faster?
@@MalcombMedia1 you should always research specifications and speed of hardware before buying. just google search the device or processor (CPU)
@@MalcombMedia1 yes. search "LZAKMR Game Console 3865U"
Rookie Here,🤚🏽What if i throw a SSD on it? Thank You.
I still have my original Wii with all three of the rebirth games.
I really like the transparent shell! I wish current mini PCs offered this type of shell. Too bad about the power and multiples of each game though.
I’m looking for something exactly like this in a similar price range. Really just want it to be able to play everything up to the GameCube/ Dreamcast era with minimal work getting crap to run (I loathe retroarch) I don’t mind cleaning up the roms list myself.. just want stuff to run. Bonus if it can run Saturn.
Better price but this emulation PC still needs more power to run all generations and game libraries like my set up
I can’t wait until a device comes out like this in this price range but with full ps2 and Dreamcast libraries. These devices seem to only be able to run a very few games on those platforms.
Im a big fan of upcycling.
I bought it less than a month ago and it took 30 days to arrive in Brazil. It worked well for about 10 days. Then it turns on the board light but it doesn't boot. Several buyers complaining about this. I tried to return it but Brazilian customs won't accept it because it contains a battery. Loss of the product plus half the price in return shipping. Has anyone managed to at least fix it?
What OS/emulation manager does it use?
This Intel Celeron Processor 1037U, 2 core 2 thread rsystem running Intel HD iIGPU Isn't the greatest. Even one of those used HP or Dell business systems you can get for around $100 will do a far better job. As others have mentioned an SSD can greatly improve performance.Yet the heavy hitters systems they include that don't play well just shouldn't be included IMO. Even an old I7-3770 with 4 core 8 thread CPU from 12 years ago will beat the pants of an old Celeron system like this. You can also try tweaking the emulator settings the systems/game that struggle. Though i'd say most people who buy a system like this would just expect everything to work out of the box on default settings.
It's even worse than a 2nd gen i5 "laptop" that I have
Hello, I'm about to purchase one of these here in Brazil, but I wanted to play PS2 with good quality, if I want to change the processor, can I do it?
I bought a small form factor MSI prebuild with a GTX1050 and an 8th gen i5 for 50 eur, just use that for my emulation needs in my living room lol. Pretty sure you can find similar stuff everywhere if you look for older devices instead of getting this junk.
"Sorry, this item is no longer available!"
Any link or name of this please. So I can check it out.
I Need a Laser Engraver to Cut Cases like this.
I have a Pile of Nice Laptop MoBos I pulled from Damaged Screens.
I need a way to EnCase them , but those damned cutters are $$$ for a descent one
Nice cool looking PC but can't top my kinhank x5 pro 🔥 it's king of plug n play ! Til I find some better,but nothing beats it yet !
I have a ps3 that plays PS1 games but won't play ps2. I want to play GTA Vice City but it's a PS2 game. what game system has that one game on it, I don't need any other. I have the GTA Vice City for PS2 on disc so whatever I get is going to be legal for me alone, I can use the game I already have as the license. The one that won't play on my ps3.
Can I somehow get the software from you, like a hard disk clone over a cloud please. I have a A10 6700 quad core 4.3 ghz, 8gb ram, 1030 geforce, 1tb hdd and 320gb ssd lying around and would like to turn it into a emulator console so I can smack scarface tho if i remember well this pc was able to run gta v at somewhat decent fps on medium
dude which on do i buy???
An acceptable use of what would be e-waste.
Them motherboard are like 140 dollars alone and are use for nas server but has 2 core apparently
I think quality over quantity. Actually buying games. Emulating controls is always off.
sega saturn they need a better emulator
My phone is kind of old it runs games upto a PS1
Well, it does play GameCube games...just not well.
Do you think it’s possible to upgrade the CPU for better performance?
Good idea but not powerful enough to actually play all the games
Any new info on that 666 DOOM?
Cool idea, kind of just makes me want to build one with better specs
No thanks, paid £50 for a used dell latitude 5400 with 8265u. No contest.
👍🏻👍🏻
Still can hack a Wii cheaper.
My old hacked Wii plays all the old games from N64 and back great. This this has insane lag no matter the controller.
is this a 4 player game and is it better then like the x2 ,x3,x4 etc
I got a Ryzen 2400 mini PC that plays way better than this.
Will this work with a generic USB arcade stick kit
I have a gtx 1080 gaming pc and a steam deck non oled so this sort of thing is useless to me.
Nobody cares
Buyer beware My order you recommended came in and didn't have any wii ware games and the build is different. My version only had 54761 games. A lot of six generation games runs bad. Please do not buy. It's a bait n switch scam
hi sir ,can this play light gun games?//
Can you add your own games to it
I don't care what core or system I emulate Saturn with, it never runs properly.
Video should have been much longer !!
When I record videos like this I do wind up recording a lot of footage, this one I had almost an hours worth. The problem is watch time and retention. Even if I could edit it to 30 mins, or even 20 mins.. not as many people will watch a longer video so it hurts my channel unfortunately. If there is more stuff people want to see I can do follow up content, but just gotta see in the comments people asking for me to test certain things etc.
Can’t play Sega Saturn. No thanks. , my raspberry pie runs Sega Saturn
how do you boot it up???
The wiiware got my attention
The stage in Cruis‘n Exotica is Seoul, South Korea! Not North Korea 🤦🏻♂️😡
