it is AMAZING what this little pc can do without a dedicated GPU I think I need to get the M93p I have had the M72 and it worked it decent for my brother and his family this paired with Batocera is gonna be awesome! Great review as always you and Retro Corps are becoming 2 of my go to for emulation nowadays.Also check out the HP elitedesk G1 and up they have a few mini pcs around this price with gen 4,5,6 i5/i7

I will be doing a lot of batocera tutorials soon. By next week I should have a few out. This is using batocera in the video for these games. Below will show you the specs on this PC. It's great for up to Gamecube. If you want xbox, ps2, ps3, and better play on wii and gamecube I'd recommend upgrading to a more powerful computer.

Just to note, it looks like this PC is using a 3rd gen Intel CPU, which means there will be IGPU drivers for Windows XP, and thus this mini pc will be great also for retro XP gaming for early 2000s XP 3D games.

Quite a few other ytbers have done vids on this. I think you know who namely… rhymes with CBA Dime lol (Dunno if it was OK to mention his actual channel name or not 😁). I run a similar model. I use DP to hdmi cable. Works great. I boot Batocera off a flash drive and have a 2TB external HDD for roms. I did think of actually installing the whole thing on the internal HDD and that was my plan but its actually handy for me keeping windows installed on it, incase I need a spare PC. But right now its just set up as my retro emulation console. As another comment here said Im also suprised at how well it runs many PS2.games. Can also run a lot of gamecube games. And, some 3DS, xbox and Wii even. Originally I just wanted a device that played the systems my PS Classic and the android boxes struggle with, namely N64,Dreamcast, PSP and Saturn. Which the Lenovo plays great, and even upscaled, so on a 24" monitor any system upscaled to anything a minimum of 2x and up looks fantastic. The fact I can play GC, some 3DS, PS2,xbox and Wii is just a bonus for me. Glad I went the Tiny PC route over android box. Its just great.

Absolutely! Yeah no problem with that at all! ETA Prime does amazing videos and I have nothing but respect for his amazing content. He does a lot of great videos on many PCs. I saw he did one similar to this one I think he had the small Optiplex if I'm not mistaken. Basically exactly the same as this PC but different brand. May have done this exact one too. I haven't watched all of his videos. Great content and an incredibly knowledgeable guy. This definitely has tremendous potential and for the price its a slamdunk!

@fonzitheman 2 жыл бұрын

Just to follow up: The Lenovo Tiny PC range (and other similar brand PCs) also look great for emulation too. 😁 I have mine in vertical stand so looks like a console too. ☺️👍 I use a Philips 24" monitor that has built in speaker, it works OK but theres no bass at all so I just bought some el cheapo kmart 3w speakers and hooked that up. Sounds much better. I bought a knock of wired xbox360 style controller which is fine for a spare (or player 2 😁) but for me I use an 8bit do wireless adapter with a Sony PS4 controller. (Urban camo color 😁)

Nice video, but why do you ignore the display port between power and USB on the back? A Displayport to HDMI cable is much cheaper than your VGA converter, the video output is much better, and it has audio, just like HDMI. - Sorry dude, I don't understand why you take such a complicated and worse path when it is not necessary.

@RetroGamingGuy 2 жыл бұрын

Good point! I totally overlooked it because mine had an issue where it wouldn’t work with either audio or video signals. I hadn’t been using it entirely for that reason to the point where I totally forgot it was even on there.
