Mini PCs for $300 can open an entire library to people in 2023! I am thankful for the emulator creators and people who preserve games. <3

I bought one of these on sale from Amazon per your recommendation. I've been running everything up to PS3, Switch, and XBox360. I threw a 4 Tb drive into it to store roms, upgraded the RAM, and use 8 Bit Do controllers. It's awesome. The only issue I've run into has to do with emulator compatibility, has nothing to do with the box itself, it's a beast. I've played a ton of games I never got a chance to play including translated games that never got released outside of Japan.

Have had this unit for about nine months, has worked flawlessly.
Best thing I noticed was how well the Wii controllers setup on the unit. Excellent investment.👍😁👍 Play On

I’ve been emulating for years- starting with pokemon on my first cheap android smartphone. As the years have gone on, I’ve learned to appreciate the original hardware more. Something about cartridges and controllers really tie it together

I have been following your channel for a while, and then I saw this video, and I was like, "Ah, that's my computer!" I use this as a workstation, and it performs very well for the form factor and price. I have also managed to run some fairly intensive Steam games on it too, but haven't tried emulators. Something to try next, I guess! The other thing I love about this mini PC is that it's easy to velcro under my standing desk adapter so it's completely out of sight but still easily accessible for cables etc.

My favorite Nintendo YouTuber is starting to convince me to learn how to do emulation.

I have been looking for something that can run PS2 and this might be what I'm looking for. Good to know that it can also run GameCube, original Xbox, PS3, and XBOX 360.

I did the same thing about 2 years ago. I sold my ps2, Wii, Dreamcast, NES, SNES, Genesis and O.G Xbox games made a pretty penny.. I got a modded Xbox, nodded ps2 and also a mini PC with a 4TB pre config with all I need... And still had about 12k left from my collection.. only games I kept was my PS3 collection with over 400 games.

A good rule of thumb is: PS3 is so demanding to emulate that if it can play PS3 well, then you can play anything.

Show us how to install the emulators you use.. that would be an awesome DIY video...🎉 for people who are new to emulators 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Dude, I just got to say I appreciate that you've become a huge retro head like me. I listen to spawn wave all the time I watch your videos. I appreciate your work and I'm super stoked that you fallen in the emulation hole the same as me. I currently have emulators all over my house. I'm running them on my steam deck. I did not know about this many PC. This is a major hookup. I appreciate it. I will hit the affiliate link. Keep up the work man. I'm loving it. I notice you also have the sinden light gun there? How are the light gun games on that thing and how difficult are they to set up?

[TheGhst]

Thanks for the recommendation. Picked one up and you weren't exaggerating. This has run practically everything I've thrown at it.

Been using these for point of sale systems. Ones we purchased came with an Intel m2 ssd and crucial ram. Circuit board looked good too. Only 2 issues: 1. windows will fry your cmos thanks to a “system repair” bug where it gets stuck in some endless loop of whatever until it starts cooking (windows problem, not computer). 2. employees love covering the fan and vents with bullshit.

I bought this exact PC at the link you gave and well, this machine is a gold mine. I added a 1TB HD to it and a gaming mouse and keyboard from Reddragon and its amazing

I used to be a hardware snob, and still am a bit, but I have really started to appreciate PS2 and other emulation. I almost prefer it to the actual hardware most of the time, now!

[Blackfatrat]

Thank you for respecting my time and starting with actually demanding systems like ps2.

[Bandorn]

This is the exact mini PC I bought a couple weeks ago. It’s a Beast.

[SumDumChum]

Absolutely love the small form factor. Thanks for sharing your setup for this tiny little device

(EDIT): misspelled form just FYI only edit to this comment

Thank you for your review RGT, good to see we have an emulation expert now on the Spawncast. Some are too distracted by Carbon engines

Is there any chance you could do a video where you rank different mini-PCs for "out of the box" performance at different price points? This one is around $350, and I was curious about ones at the $250 and $150 areas as well.

This was a great video though, and I appreciated it.

I'm mainly just trying to emulate PS2 with standard resolution, and I'm not as tech knowledgeable as I'd like.
