Can we GAME on a £5/$7 CD Player from 10 Years ago?

[@BudgetBuildsOfficial]

KZbin has left a processing error in the video where the audio loops itself for around 1 second, half way through the video (Nothing Major), you may remember this from the old PS3 Video, where it also happened, hopefully it'll be sorted out by the time the video is processed...If not please enjoy me saying "The Mono Team" Twice.

Horizon Gamers what up bro

[@toaster_bloke9999]

Use something like this for long enough and eventually you'll be granted infinite patience with even the worst of computer performance. After having a Samsung NC10 (1gb of ram and a Atom N270 that failed to beat a pentium 4 with downclocked GMA 950 and a 25mb/s 80gb HDD) as my only computer for 6 years (2009-2015), I've gained the ability to even see 320x200 @ 10fps as enjoyable. So I guess there is a saving grace to this sort of performance and having the patience to deal with it

[@KuraIthys]

I found 15-20 fps acceptable for ages. But this was off the back of not having had a PC at all for close to half a decade, and being old enough to know a period where 3d games didn't just consider 12 fps ''acceptable', but actually considered it the target for an optimum, best-case type experience. We've come a long way since then. On the other hand I still mess with a computer first sold in 1979, so... ehh.

Gladly, if I can find a PCI GT610.

[@adwaitagnome]

Even a GT 610 would likely be severely bottlenecked by the CPU and PCI slot, so it would be interesting. You might also consider the PCI GT 520.

[@CommodoreFan64]

Devin Hepburn I was going to suggest that myself, but I'll throw in booting 32bit Mint XFCE as it can install drivers for Nvidia fairly easy, and STEAM can run on Mint XFCE at least 64bit Mint XFCE, I've not tried it on 32bit, but would make for interesting video, as I'm honestly tired of KZbinrs defaulting to older versions of Windows on these older machines.

[@BudgetBuildsOfficial]

@Krypto A.D.L: the GT520 was rebranded into the GT610.

[@LucasPereiradaSilva]

@@adwaitagnome I had a GT610 previously on a system with a Core i3 3220 and 4gb RAM(I recently upgraded the system to 8GB RAM and a GTX1650). The GPU severely bottlenecked the GPU for any gaming and, when rendering in Blender using Cycles, the CPU was actually four times faster than the GPU despite it having 48 CUDA cores. The only purpose of this graphics card is to be an HDMI adapter.

[@MrYedige]

Dude! You should definitely go for gt 610. It would be really entertaining. I can already see the title: Can a 5 quid CD player benefit from having a dedicated GPU? Or something like: Should you upgrade a CD player by adding a gt 610? Is it worth it?

This has a x86 CPU, you likely have an ARM CPU at best in a Portable CDPlayer, very different.

[@SianaGearz]

Budget-Builds Official actually I'm yet to see an ARM based CD player. Mostly it's m68k. Maybe nowadays Injenic, which is a copyright-evading MIPS look-alike.

[@dhgmrz17]

Budget-Builds Official If it was an arm cpu, couldn't you theoretically install Android on to it then game with that? However I feel like trying to get it to boot anything would be either impossible or a complete pain. That is if it is an arm processor.

[@dhgmrz17]

Siana Gearz However it being a DVD player, so it might need a slightly more powerful processor than the average CD player.

[@SianaGearz]

Oh sorry i misspoke. I meant m68k and injenic in DVD players, not CD players. Brainfart. So well opened up one CD player i had, because i was planning on doing it anyway - the sound is absolutely perfect from the line out, but the headphone out is annoyingly noisy, so i intended to re-engineer that bit. It was a cheap one, ran like that from day one, it's not like anything in it has gone bad or anything, there must be a simple engineering mishap in there, even though i'm not seeing it yet. I expected the processor to be a 8051 or Z80 derivative, because i had seen these in MP3 players before. It's not. The processor IC that i found in it is MLC3100A by Korean MCS Logic, which is described by the manufacturer as "new cutting-edge and high performance RISC-DSP CPU core" (well, would have been new in 2002 when this thing was actually made), which digging more into the company history and their other assorted statements they made about their other ICs, makes it likely to be either ARM7TDMI, the same processor used in Psion5 and Gameboy Advance, with an extra DSP hanging off the side of it, or the ARC core which had been a 16/32 bit RISC-DSP architecture to begin with. That one has an interesting history, it's by a spun off microelectronics division of Argonaut games in France, the first product of which was the Nintendo SuperFX chip! You don't hear much about it, but they have claimed at various points to have licensed out the logic to hundreds of IC companies and that it ended up shipped in hundreds of millions of products. Or it could be something else entirely that Koreans developed on their own. Anyway i don't see much of a way to confirm what it is for certain, as there is no obvious or known way to dump the firmware off the thing.

[@elimalinsky7069]

There was a guy who was able to write a Pong clone on a PCM decoder chip of a generic CD player. It was a feat of engineering since that chip is not Turing complete and is not programmable, so he had to reverse-engineer it and then clone a programmable version of it. It was also a challenge because about half of the chip's ROM and processing power went into just communicating with a custom I/O controller, so that the game could be played on a display with additional control buttons.

Morrowind is basically Doom 1993 in terms of just how easy it is to run.

[@RWL2012]

Gargoyle Named Lexington not really. Morrowind roughly requires something like a Pentium III or original Athlon CPU, 128MB of RAM, a GeForce 2 MX 3D graphics card, technically but not typically a Sound Blaster 16 card, and Windows 98. Whereas Doom (1993) only requires an 80486 CPU, 8MB of RAM, a VGA video card, an Adlib card to add the game's music to the PC beeper SFX which would be replaced with the "real" SFX with a Sound Blaster card installed, and IIRC DOS 5.0. Quite a big difference... And that's before you get to the storage. The 486 would only need a floppy drive to install Doom, but the Pentium III or Athlon would need an optical drive to install Morrowind. Morrowind would also require a larger hard drive in the newer machine to copy its files to, etc.

You can game on any pc if you get a old enough game

[@RWL2012]

lifehackertips yep, you can run Pac-Man and Tetris clones on a 1981 IBM PC 5150, the early revision "A" with the 1978 dated pre-bugfix version of the 4.77MHz Intel 8088 CPU, with the original MDA monochrome graphics on an orange phosphor monitor and that sweet PC beeper sound. Sorry I don't know what the FPS benchmarks are but they were definitely running at playable framerates - "Tetris" ran amazingly smoothly and "Pac-Man" only had very minor slowdown but that's to be expected for such an intensive game. The video I watched had the PC's RAM upgraded to 512KB though so your mileage may vary with lower amounts of RAM. I also can't remember whether it was running DOS 1.x or if a newer version of DOS had been installed, so again, you may need to upgrade to a newer version of DOS to run those games.

The intel GMA3150 doesnt have hardware T&L. I'm 100% sure about that. There are some modded driver on the internet, but I dont think they fix that, but they sure help on the FPS.

[@Hotobu]

That's pretty badass hardware for just a CD player.

[@Spookex166]

1:35 Is that a squirrel in the background ?

[@ThatNormalBunny]

No it's a bird

[@RWL2012]

:-D

[@LyingSecret]

I can't believe you didn't test the original Doom, the game notorious on the internet for being able to 'run on anything'!

[@inthegrass11]

huge shout-out to the robin in the background hahaha great video dude

[@EmilePolka]

I own one of this in the past acting as a router, updating the bios on this mobo is not straight forward, you have to upgrade to certain bios version first before you able to upgrade it to the latest bios

[@whoknows961]

This made my day. I like your video's really much. This the only channel that I comment on. XD

[@BudgetBuildsOfficial]

Cheers man

[@derpydust9998]

Finally believe it or not I've been looking for a video like this for years

[@catface5144]

luv you bby! Keep up the good work! I hope you're enjoying the snow!!

[@MrMateZ]

Have you thought of doing a build with the CD player changing the components over making it better you should do this for a video

[@nerwin]

What about turning that case into a sleeper build? That would be pretty neat.

[@dave4shmups]

Great video! According to the Intel Ark page on this CPU, the maximum supported ram is 4gb.

[@MazeFrame]

For the sleeper, you could put the Ryzen 2400G in there. Should run circles arround the current cpu.

[@dylandajhharwood5566]

More RAM would fix this system. If you can get into the BIOS I'd see if you can overclock the CPU and give the GPU some more RAM. I'd also say a thermal paste change would help, as the temps would be sky high when gaming if it's the same OG paste that was on it when it was given to Café Nero

[@Semibytes]

Never expected playing game with CD player. Great video. :)

[@alfie637]

Haven’t been to the channel in ages and your over 100k, well done dude, love the videos 🤷🏻‍♂️😋

[@doesnysmakessense7771]

Being honest, I’m a bit jealous^^ there’s just no tech scrap pile or someone who sells the stuff where I live. Anyway, the video is awesome, cause it somehow works (except games from maybe the 90‘s) thumbs up!

[@91120dark]

Hey hello there, I really enjoy your videos and i've seen in one of them that it seems you've got a powerMAC, I think it could be fun to make a review of AmigaOS and its variants, it's one of the interesting things you can do if you put your hands on one of these devices, of course that's if the topic interests you...

[@BudgetBuildsOfficial]

The Powermac needs repairing unfortunately.

[@LucasPereiradaSilva]

I know that micro-atx boards with an onboard atom processor soldered in because I unfortunately had one for a couple of years as my personal computer. Those were sold in Brazil for over $300,00 some years ago(PC, shitty keyboard, monitor and mouse), and you can still find them for sale if you look. Expect prices from $200,00 and over. You can't actually fit a GPU, not even the TOP DOLLAR sold GT610 ($100 in Brazil, new) on those because there are no PCIe expansion slots, just a single PCI slot just in case your onboard network card fails.

[@poppysilver]

5:05 I have that exact same guitar lmao did you get it from argos too?

[@BudgetBuildsOfficial]

Bought it for £10 off a friend.

[@SpartanX360]

These are just shopping store jukeboxes that play the same music over and over they are so locked down that you can’t do anything to it but just replace the mobo with new components and graphics cards.

[@RMJ1984]

Next up! Will Crysis run on a mobile phone connected to a monitor and keyboard! that would be interesting.
