Intel N100 Emulation Testing [Batocera v38] 

thats only because they need to decode 4k video smoothly

That's less on the graphics; all these lowest level chips needed was the AVX2 instruction set

but the thing found out is you to use the nightyly version of the ps2 emulator on pc to use vulken.

My 4 year old phone can run PS2 on 4x with most games lol. 😅

If you think about it it's less impressive than a Pentium 4 being able to run the original DooM. These are 20 year old games. When doom was only 6-8 years old when Pentium 4 came out.

and it's great for ps2 emulation

The reason why I'd ever use batocera is to keep the windows and games systems separate. There may be less overhead lowering latency in a Linux based system, but when it comes to the heavier to emulate systems, Windows is preferred. Things like Teknoparrot work great. One more thing is emulation station as a front end to go in and out of games. But this can also be achieved with retrobat in windows. Nice to hear you're having fun with the K1. I'd say it'd be a new case / DIY thing for the case rather than a simple heatsink / swap. It may benefit from placing a heatsink on the nvme tho. One more thing to add - use of super resolution should help lower the temps if you're concerned.

It doesn't run on this n100

@@chadbrick67 alright then.

The n100 seems to be better than the 3250u, but it's still a very low power CPU. The 5700u and then 5800h Ryzen chips are also worth considering.

Oh there is, but I probably didn't click it ... My bad 😞- Could also have been my capture card.

What is v sync ?

Tekken tag tournament 2 needs a LOT of space and is a bit heavy on this chipset unfortunately... Will keep it in mind for the next sets of video so you have more an idea how they perform. Tekken tag 2 on wiiu seems to get overlooked. It's quite an interesting release tbh

@@TeamPandory thanks for the heads up. guess I'll have to reconsider :) subbed

Basically vsync was off to show what FPS it was capable of. Obviously you'd turn that on when playing with these classic systems.

It does. The game cleverly utilizes resources differently on split mode

Yes you need the shinto gate plugin

The n100 is far too weak for PS3 emulation, unfortunately.

@@TeamPandory Did you try it? Wii U is more powerful than PS3.

@@bgates275 but far more difficult to relate. I've tried ps3 on the newer and far quicker CPUs like the intel i5-12450h, and they're not strong enough

@@toutloffc1 what computer are you using, and which games? There are so many factors that could be slowing it down. Tbh I keep it on opengl for most the time, and for the n100 around a 1.25x or 1.5x resolution is good. Any more will slow games such as gran turismo 4. We made a batocera PS2 settings guide in another video, but it will depend on the game you play.

Processor most likely, Cemu isn't that hectic on GPU, The N100 is 4 cores 4 threads. In order to have really good performance for PS3/Wii-U performance you need at least by minimum 6 core, 6 threads, the more the better up to a point. Get a cheap Ryzen like a 4500U for better performance.

@@StriderVM Glad I waited a few months, managed to get a mini PC with a 6800H Ryzen 7 for $329. That will be my dedicated emulation box so I can finally pack away all of my other systems.

@@Flyingboots1 Oh that's basically a top tier Mini PC / Laptop setup thats more than enough for Batocera. Congrats. =)

@@StriderVM thank you very much, it's insane how far technology has come. That 6800H is faster than my Ryzen 1600X in my main computer lmao! My GTX 1070 still beats the iGPU in the 6800H though lol.

@@Flyingboots1 Yeah the Rx680M (iGPU of the 6800H) is closer to the RX470. Which is actually faster than the GTX1050. If you out the fastest DDR5 RAM on it. While the processor is almost faster than the Ryzen 5700x!

Vulkan usually performs faster than opengl. There may be times when Vulkan gives screen corruption and will need to change back to OpenGL though, depends on the game and emulator.

It'd be slightly worse. TBH 3DS I think will be okay, but WiiU is already capping out the CPU as is.

@@TeamPandory Thanks!

Sorry to say that RCPS3 won't work well at all on this chipset.

It's PCSX2 v1.7.4857, stock for Batocera v38

But neither will run particularly well

It can. Only tried halo on it though. Check later on in this video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-thNyLv4bHdI.html

Too demanding for this chip... I haven't even heard about fpps4, news for me 🙂

@@TeamPandory it’s a ps4 emulator. :)

Yes

If you install batocera to a usb stick or usb drive, there is no risk. Remove the drive and you'll be back in Windows

@@TeamPandory v38 version maybe fine but I did it on USB with an older version. It has an access to the files with the browser tool internally, and I couldn't log in with my account to windows 10. It.may be better to back up your files of working to safe places before try this. Quad core system only had the problem. I tried to many systems. Just one PC had the issue. So be careful

It probably needs those shaders compiling. If you're using slower storage (not nvme) it may drag the game to a crawl. Try going round and then restart the race. Does that speed it up? Not ideal I know, but once the shaders have been compiled once it won't need to do it again.

@@TeamPandory No it's not that, I've running around the first circuit forever and it's always 40fps tops, except in the menus and pause.

@@dualpapayas 8GB 2660mhz DDR4, and I'm running native resolution. My machine is a Firebat AK2 Plus

Solved it. It was capped at 10W in the BIOS, changed it to 15W and now it's 60FPS.
