The weeCee: A Tiny New MS-DOS & Windows Gaming PC!

Checking out the wee little weeCee! It's a mini PC capable of running MS-DOS and Windows off a MicroSD card that plays well with tons of classic PC games and software, boasting Sound Blaster Pro and Wave Blaster/GM compatibility, along with SXGA 32-bit color graphics with VGA out. Awesome stuff, so let's try it out with some DOS and Windows 98 games!

Excellent video, I knew you'd cover it thoroughly :) I'd love to commercialize these but the price point would be too high (likely >$600) and people would expect a much more polished product for that kind of money. I'm open to suggestions though.

Blows my mind seeing all that *hand soldered* SMT work. That's a sign of some serious dedication, or an unhinged mind. Possibly both.

This is awesome! Just wanted to say thanks for shining a spotlight on this project and how much we appreciate you displaying the capabilities of our SOM. We're always working on making improvements and hopefully you'll see more of our stuff in the future!

This thing was my Shower Thoughts for years. A literal small DosBox in a sense, but all hardware based. So damn cool, I want one.

i love the "[wee bits of jazz music playing]" at the beginning subtitles

"General MIDI support"

COUNT ME IN!

Your videos are superb. The lighting in the "blue" shot where you've dimmed the room and are using blue accent lighting that matches the DOS screen presenting on a 4:3 CRT is print worthy. Your careful and thoughtful presentation of an era I lived through as a developer is appreciated. Please keep making videos. You are presenting the years I loved most very accurately and with correct information.

One of these with a floppy and IDE/MFM interfaces in a tiny retro style case would make my inner 90s child happy.

this is one of the few things that i'd say is a perfect example of what kickstarter is for. there is no doubt a market for this device if you could actually keep the price point at the 600 dollar mark assembled and ready to go, you'd do very well with it. and, as someone said earlier, it may allow you to buy parts at bulk prices. i wish you well. we need more brains like the one you're walkin around with. :)

I’m 33 born in 1990. I know nothing about computers but I like this channel cause it reminds me of being a kid. My dad owned a computer repair business from home and I remember playing with all these games and old tech. Great stuff. So many times I watch lgr and am reminded of something I would have never thought about.

This is probably the most impressive mini pc youtube video i've seen in some time! It has impressive software mode performance where it works!

The Rasteri is the dude that designed portable scratch turntables. the man is a legend!

[jpxdude]

Been following TheRasteri and this project for a while, and it is soooo exciting! Nice to see it getting more exposure on LGR. I hope someone can make/sell these as I keep throwing money at the screen and nothing is happening.

Amazing! Being a blind gamer in love with text adventures, I'd love to see a retro speech synthesizer on board that can be driven by one of the original DOS screen readers such as ASAP or HAL. What do you folks think?

[fridaycaliforniaa]

The fact that it starts without any noise is almost scary XD

[scruffythejanitor]

I have an old square flat panel monitor.I could rig this to the back and have a retro system that doesn't require any real additional storage space. I would LOVE a commercial version of this....

[TheMrJamu]

Interesting project. It really needs the pc-beeper for DOS games.

[calzonemaniacsvideocorner]

Very interesting. Can't wait to see how the project will evolve in the years to come. I hope you're taking LGR's feedback to heart and working on a way to improve these.

[Batistadx]

I'd love something like a weeCee for games released in the XP era - think Quake 2 to like, 2006, 2007. Probably not as easy since tech got much more varied in that time period, but it'd be super cool. The closest is a micro PC like a GPD Win 2.

[jacobrodgers]

I love all the retro computers that have been popping up over the years! The reason I feel so interested in this one is, it's finally made for games that I grew up with as a kid born in the early 90s. Things like the ZX Spectrum Next are cool and all, but they don't suit my nostalgia because I never had computers from that era to begin with.
