Lon tv is one of the most professional and informative channels in YouTube. It’s nice to have a very neutral channel that shares product and tech information that just gets straight to the point.

Timely video. I just loaded this up on a Lenovo ThinkCentre I picked up used for under $60. I'm able to just boot up and launch into a bunch of old favorites and it's been a blast. The system fits right under my TV and it handles up to 1080p resolution for Wii and PS2 games.

Awesome. Thanks Lon. I have a steam box and you just re-activated my interest. Elder is awesome and your narration is excellent

I’m such a fan of Batocera and using Syncthing inside there to sync my games between devices and my Retronas. I really gotta try this Emudeck too though!

[samlazar]

This looks great. I will try it on my steam deck.

27:28 “In the future”?
More like “in the past” 😂
thanks for the guide

i think the only thing this is lacking is making mods, enhancements and other types of hacks for old games be more manageable as well, it's quite a big ask to make but without being able to actually tinker with the old gamers rather then just be able to play them is the main reason why I care about emulation in the first place so i'll stick with retroarch and dolphin myself...

[laszloszorady]

Great video sir! Retrobat next please, it's just as easy.. you could make the vid in 10 minutes lol.

Most persons simply hack their fridge to play donkey Kong and they stand there all day and play that.

How do we direct the front end to open a different emulator than what was installed originally like lime 3ds for example instead of citra

[CAMintmier]

For Windows, I prefer RetroBat. You don't have to copy/move your roms around like with EmuDeck. And the installer doesn't seem sketchy like EmuDeck does.

[derekswitzer]

have you used Retrobat at all? That is usually my goto and a great option for Windows (Y)

[zoran]

So wait, use windows to run steam, to run emulation station to run retroarch to run rom? 😮

[anon_y_mousse]

I wish I could find a PS2 or XBox emulator that could run Psychonauts. I'm fairly certain that it's a matter of not implementing a given feature of the hardware that the game requires, but as usual, it's another backburner project. In my opinion, this is one of the few downsides of Steam. Because the game can be bought there, people don't consider it important to make the game run through an emulator, which to my mind is a detriment to preservation efforts.

All that said, I really like RetroArch because I can use a ton of emulators from one place with one controller.

[williammiller]

it surely is pronounced ehm-you-deck... right??

[sanjeevvarkala]

Please try batocera or Launchbox on this n100 pc. Also stress test upto which Console can it play smoothly.

[eded]

My problem with PC emulation is that i spend to much time configuring things and then some months later i format my pc for whatever reason and then i need to do everything again, it's like every time i want to play some old game the whole thing need to be installed and configured again and i end up not playing the game or just going to the console to play it... I almost prefers using emulators on console, its like, more straight forward. The game just run and almost everything load seamlessly, the control work, the virtual memory card loads and even when years have pass the savegame i left is still there, cause who format consoles?

[laszloszorady]

Funny because i thought emideck was just fine 1 year ago, no updates needed

[shedbuiltcars]

so why bother, use retropie ore emustation etc

[laszloszorady]

Retrobat is better period, you would get so many views on a vid for it. Thanks for the good emudeck vid
