​@billyp9288 easier said than done. I'm an owner of the SERIES X, and for exactly 3 weeks (yeah, you read it right) I've been trying to emulate on my Xbox without success YET!!!!!! The problem is that all the videos online or on KZbin explain the steps in ways experienced emulators can grasp easily while people below the novice level still be confused (like myself)... then to top it off I downloaded every software they tell me to and still no success. Then they don't show you how to get the bios because it's illegal, but there's ways around that and no one helps with that. There's the reddit megathread but it too doesn't help because a novice only sees a series of numbers and letters and zips etc etc. Can't tell if it's the bios or the roms or a mix. Then if you get it from the megsthread in the zip format (which all is on megathread) it's not enough... you then have to extract them but the right click gives no option to do so. These mini computers (if they actually work and is safe) are the better routes to take if you're a novice level or below because tho some videos help a lil, they'll never help in the way one actually needs.

Just like this video shows, some games have glitches and issues, thats how its always been that way with emulation and always will be. Some old N64 and Sega Saturn games still cant be emulated perfectly. So if you have tons of patience and are ok with some games you might want to play "just not working" then emulation is feasible. But if you want the pure original experience, nothing beats original hardware and software.

[@gabegoforth]

I may actually pick one of these up now, especially for the PS3 emulation, and the really decent price. Great video.

[@stakesishigh8443]

I think if he was willing to do a video where his viewers can request he try specific games that would be helpful. I'm worried with the random games he chose if everything from that console runs this well.

[@gabegoforth]

@STAKESisHIGH84 Oh I would definitely do some more research before buying one. There may also be some issues that didn't occur with the games that he's played so far. And I agree that if he were to do a live stream or something of him playing requested games, that would be nice. But from everything that I've seen of RGT, he's always come off as a good dude, and I do generally trust his judgment.

[@jimronaldson6699]

I get what you are saying about it handling the High End systems so no need to test older systems. However, many systems have trouble running PSP (God of War) and some Dreamcast and N64 games (Goldeneye). We know it isnt a hardware issues. If it was just hardware then most modern smartphones could run those systems. So, it comes down to how the emulators, games and hardware work together.

[@acejon2162]

If it's not a hardware issue like you said then it doesn't matter the results from this miniPC or even a miniPC with Ryzen 7940H. The solution is to wait for updates from said emulators and see if they get better, regardless of what PC you run it from. If, however, the game performance is bottlenecked by the PC HW then a Ryzen 7940H PC will definitely run better than another lower spec PC.

[@epaminondasjack8544]

Have you tried emulation on xbox series S/X ? It is absolutely FANTASTIC 👍👍

[@srobeck77]

Ya man, they have a whole Dev mode setup on the Series and you just download emulator software like a regular pc

[@trudyhite9755]

I really hope that they have the games that I grew up on that. I’ve been wanting to play again for years like DEF jam, fight for New York, NBA street, volume two midnight club, three dub edition, and blitz the league.

[@danielcorum6081]

Bill Trinnen has fentanyl eyes.

[@recce555ify]

Just a note that this product apparently only ships with a 65W PSU and the TDP is locked at 35W. Other miniPC brands using the Ryzen 7 5800H APU can boost the TDP to 45W and they ship with a 90W/100W PSU. Other than that, I think this one is still decent for the price, just don't expect max performance out of the APU.

[@ActionJacksonForever]

Which one do you recommend exactly? I’m looking to preserve a digital library

[@recce555ify]

As mentioned this is very decent for the price, i.e. value for money. If money is no objection and you want the best miniPC out there check out the latest Ryzen 7000 series or 6900HX models.

[@nickangelo116]

I am glad to see you've come around to emulation. You've come a long way. You've let go of material attachments. You've transformed. I appreciate the recommendation. I was looking for a good mini PC and you sold me. I will certainly purchase this one. It's $420 right now. They better give you a cut.

Mini pc are not the best for emulation in terms of value for your money. I get it wont take much space, but a tower can easily be tucked away under the table. I will rather get a basic office tower for $100 or so with 16gb ram, ssd, throw in gtx 1060 or 1070 and you'll be able to emulate everything just fine.

[@nathanbreakin9684]

Sometimes physical dimensions drive buying decisions even more than specs, ultimately.

This video is perfect for this. I want to know what works for emulation and this gets right to it. Great work, I'm now subbed. You rock.

[@MorbidSwede]

I would buy one if it came with a emulator and games. It’s just a hassle to do it yourself.

[@johnmadison3472]

But that's part of the fun. Create your custom emulation machine. For me, the tinkering is almost as much fun as playing the games.

[@AlecMcOne]

@@johnmadison3472 Same. If you already have everything set up tho on your PC/Laptop etc, it's easy to just transfer everything over to the mini PC so you don't have to do it all again.

I just purchased a similar one but with the Ryzen 7 5700U on an Amazon sale earlier today. It costs around $270 or $280 with discounts.

[@GamesAndMoreGamesAndMoreGames]

Now, almost a year later you can get the far superior 6800H mini PC for about $300 bucks now. That runs everything much smoother. Not bad for a device that's essentially a Switch, Wii u, Xbox 360, PS3, and the list goes on.... Pretty insane for such a tiny box.

[@theBio.]

At this price point honestly just get an Xbox Series S and use that for emulation alongside having a small form factor, and the ability to play recent titles. Better performer too overall. That's of course as long as you don't plan on using it for any PC related stuff. (In my opinion)

[@Astrodude55]

Microsoft nuked the ability for it to emulate recently. Nice try, though!

[@dl5930]

I have this exact mini pc. I use it mainly for fusion 360, 3d scanning with 360 Kinect skannect, Arduino ide. It works really good for those things. I haven't used emulators on it, i thought about it, but i feel that ita more useful for other things.

[@coolestto]

What kind of accuracy can you get 3d scanning with a Kinect? I have one laying around and that sounds handy

[@theglitchking1545]

I have to thank @RGT 85. I really wasn't a pc player until I found out about these emulators and came across this video. I went on Amazon and bought a 12 tb emulator hard drive and I can say, see you later ps5 lol. Got the mini pc for $150 and the hard drive for $340 but it was so worth it. Thanks bro I will subscribe to you

[@acejon2162]

Just received mine and I immediately swapped out the Batocera HDD from my other miniPC (GMK intel i8279U miniPC), powered it up and works like a charm, don't even need to change anything or do any setting adjustments in Batocera. My GMK intel i8279U miniPC when running PS2 Shadow of the Colossus will sound like a jet engine with frame drops too, whereas this SER5 miniPC there is barely any audible fan noise and framerate is smooth so I'm pretty happy. Interestingly, both miniPCs are using a 65W PSU (19V, 3.5A).

[@acejon2162]

I'm using my own Batocera build. This miniPC only comes with the hardware and preinstalled Windows OS and nothing else.
