Depending on how low spec your pc is, turning off the game bezels can make a big difference in performance for low end pc’s

Great great video! My first mini-PC was a 3050 and I scored a deal in that it had an i7-7700 CPU and 16gb ram (boosted to 32gb). The extra cores and threads helped a lot, as I was able to play many PS2 sports titles smooth at 2x, and Rogue Squadron for the GameCube at 1.5x with very little studder.

Just as a side note. PC is $131 when I ordered. Saw a week later for $119. So just keep your eyes peeled. Secondly, list of my build for people looking to do the same.
2024 dollars
PC $131
Wireless keyboard/w mouse $34
Replacement 1 TB ssd sata drive - $90
2 8bitdo controllers $100
Sata to usb cable $12
HDMI cable $24
$391 from scratch
That leaves 9 bucks to get some Mountain Dew.

An Atari System 1 Indian Jones and the temple of doom in the background. I spent a ton on that game back in the day. Awesome arcade cabinet.

Hi, Great easy to follow videos, also by any chance do you have any videos on how to customize Batocera?

[garfieldrupe]

I hope you don't mind but I like to keep you up to date. I couldn't find a Dell Optiplex like you have so I found an HP G3 mini pc on Amazon. I have keyboards and mice so that isn't a problem. Slowly but surely I will have my own emulation system,

[briankuhn]

Getting ready to use my old HP i7 7700 for mine. Will start building the cabinet this weekend

[garfieldrupe]

This might have solved my problems. I like that Dell PC you used.

Great tutorial. Thank you as always. Your channel is a real inspiration to all us retro gamers. If you don't mind me asking, your excellent build with all the bells and whistles with over 4000 games, how big is the hard drive you used? I would think maybe a 1 TB drive should do it. Is that right? Thanks.

[buriedbits]

Excellent video. You covered everything. I have a Batocera setup on a dell 3020 but I do like this small dells. 🤔 Batocera is very nice. One question. I like Batocera on the CRT. I guess I can go to VGA with an adapter

[giomoscioni]

Dude could you please share the list of games that you put on your ssd and also the size that you recommend for the ssd. Thanks

[steviedsretro]

Great vid RGG.. another solution I did was to take a 7020 which has room for a low profile gpu (I used a RX 6400 from xfx), and make your own steamdeck like experience using ChimeraOS. You could also do this for a similar batocera build with more punch ;)

[chrisumali]

Thanks for the demo and vioe, awesome. What was thst theme you used in the final demo? Looks great

[jmendez]

Anyone know whats needed to play initial d ? I grew up playing that game on Brunswick zone and i would love to play it again.

[toastytopics]

[faceyspacey]

Awesome video... I still have your pie build.. working great 👍

[johnmoreno]

Wow mines is coming in today too. Same specs too. I can use an external too. Let's go

[booneledbetter]

So I am struggling and not sure what I am doing wrong. Whenever I etch batocera onto my external HD it makes my external HD umallocated???

[erraddict]

How would you setup light gun emulators and games with something like the Retroshooter guns?
