I Paid $49 for This Emulation PC That Can Run Almost Any Retro Game! (Insane Performance)

[@WickedGamerCollector]

I want to be clear about this video is that the Gigabyte PC is a used product they are not new for sale (anymore). U bought it from the marketplace for $49,- you can also have this option with other places ? Keep in mind this one was so cheap because of the i3 cpu they will also be sold with an i7.

[@princeginger2025]

why review it if we cannot buy one pointless

[@biffski01]

@@princeginger2025 The point is that even these old I3 min pcs will do the job. You can find them if you look around in charity shops or ebay. But if you buy a new minipc with an N100 chip it wil be even better...

An all-in-one solution in the $50-$150 range that's capable of playing PS3 and Xbox 360 games would really set itself apart, but as it is most of these mini PCs are the same -- they aren't really good for anything beyond the PS2 and OG Xbox -- unless you pay $500+.

[@lmcgregoruk]

OG Xbox is hard to emulate , way harder than the PS2. Even a Wii emulators more likely to work.

[@ktechnology9146]

@lmcgregoruk Maybe the OG Xbox was a bad example, presumably that will improve as emulator advancements are made, but I think you get my point. _For_ _the_ _part_ all of these inexpensive, all-in-one products are the same in that they're limited to emulating the sixth console generation or earlier.

[@bAc0nBoY755]

I wouldnt be surprised if there is one out there, but the market is so saturated that it's hard to find

[@MisterUrbanWorld]

Pro Tip: If you guys live near flea markets, or computer shops that rarely get business, or desperate you can get more powerful office pc's than this for around the same price or no more than $15-$20 bucks more.

[@ThatWhiskeylovinAsianGuy]

YES! i ended up getting an i7 dell optiplex for like 40 bucks from a school sale.

[@bobything4025]

The point is the form factor

[@biffski01]

I bought an old small form factor used business pc for $100 (converted from British pounds) from a thrift store. It came complete with a monitor, keyboard and mouse. It was designed to be on 24/7 at low energy cost. I use it to run game servers for things like 7days to die and Project Zomboid. Great value and troll free gaming for the kids.

[@MisterUrbanWorld]

@@ThatWhiskeylovinAsianGuy Which gpu did you add to your optiplex? I thought about adding a Low Profile RTX 4060, but the i5-2400 may bottleneck it.

[@ThatWhiskeylovinAsianGuy]

@@MisterUrbanWorld it is the dell optiplex 7050. it's a mini tower. thankfully, i was able to fit my existing rx 580 8gb on it and doesn't require a pci-e power connector.

[@chazmcdaniels6173]

Yo Wicked! Appreciate that you are trying to tell people the price but it's not worth it especially as the information is out of date the longer the video is around. If you want to mention what you paid in the video, fine...that's what you paid when you made the video. The internet struggles to understand that the world doesn't stand still...prices change. Enjoy the fact that you keep the videos coming. Appreciate that you are trying to show people outside of the box solutions to retro gaming.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

I think going to do it totally different in the near future. For example not saying about prices. It totally messed up the video in the end. Thanks for your message !

[@BigDom1002]

I just checked here in Germany, and I don't personally see prices in that region, stuff like this is usually around 80 €, and for 100 € you can already get HP, Dell and Lenovo thin clients with 8th gen intel i5s. Though I just got an older Lenovo ThinkPad T460 for 50 € + shipping, which has an i5-6300u and 8 GB of ram with a 240 GB SSD, as well as an internal and external battery, everything working, just missing the Power supply, which can be had for 15 €. Basically the same as this mini pc, except that it has a better CPU and comes with the usual extras that a laptop has. (Display, Keyboard, Touchpad, running off of battery) I think the Video shouldn't be taken as a recommendation, but as an example, if you have the space, maybe a bigger office pc of that generation fits better, as they tend to be thrown onto eBay from time to time. Also, just waiting for a deal, saving a search and looking at newly listed, buy now listings or looking for systems with slight damages can make a big difference depending on where you live!

Prices for used products is almost impossible. Where I find 50 to 100 usd mini pc they are sometimes 200+ on US marked. I just showcase the price I paid and what is possible. Specially in the future they will get cheaper and cheaper when the marked get's overflow with mini pc's from china in the end.

When I buy the mini pc, and hook up the pawky pad to it, does the pawky pad have batocera pre installed or do I have to install batocera manually to the mini pc?

[@WickedGamerCollector]

What you need to look out for is they are using old Batocera drives. So let's say they sell version 32 or 33. When you connect this to a new generation AMD Ryzen or brand new Intel chip it is possible doesn't boot up. With old stuff like the 6e generation i3 I did not have any problems. Plug 'n play only double check what version they use.
