Can you use a cheap dusty old office PC for retro emulation? The Lenovo M81 (same model as the M93p). Well, yeah! But can it handle some higher end stuff, like Nintendo 64? Or PlayStation? or GameCube? or PSP? or PS2? Well, I know the answer, but if I told you right now you wouldn’t watch the video. C’mon now.

@k76bk15 Год назад

Grandma would be proud! Personally I think the 4th gen i3 is the best starting spot for emulation because of the igpu improvement. It will let you play 95% of PS2 & Wii library without any lag & also using standalone emulation & enabling those mostly safe speed hacks is the way to go for PS2 & Wii to squeeze out those extra performance. PCSX2 has improved a lot in the last 2 months. 6th gen is the sweet spot though. HD 530 has Vulkan & OpenGL 4.6 support which helps modern emulation a lot. Vulkan is mandatory for accurate N64 emulation & it can also play some easy to run WiiU, Yuzu & RPCS3 games. DS emulation is actually pretty taxing on Windows & Linux because of the absence of Drastic. About 3 years ago you couldn't even upscale DS games on PC. Drastic is nothing short of a magic.

@TechDweeb Год назад

Yeah the lack of Vulkan was a big problem here :/. My next PC for emulation testing has a dedicated GPU so that won't be a problem next time around.

Add a low profile GTX 1650 or RX 6400 to turn this old Lenovo office PC from a good emulation setup to a great emulation setup. 6400 is cheaper at the moment, and draws less power, so I recommend that. I set up one of these small form factor office PCs for my sister to use (a Dell Optiplex though) and put a Sapphire Pulse RX 6400 low profile card in it. It’s one hell of an emulation box

I remember back in the day, that this game was so bad that they ended up taking thousand upon thousand of these cartridges and burying them in a landfill! In fact there is a documentary on Netflix (I believe) on gaming where they interview the creator of ET. Pretty interesting story. Great video as usual.

@Barcrest Год назад

Before going to the next pc, you should revisit the SFF pc with a dedicated graphics card at the very least. On mine i added the 1650, an ssd for the boot drive, ram to 16gb and the cpu up to an i7. Obviously these do increase the cost and the biggest improvement is the gpu. I had a 1050ti before the 1650 and that was also great.

@mealot7613 Год назад

Some of the emulators in batocera have no linux version so those emulators have to be emulated in wine.... giving a performance hit. For gamecube you will need to play with the screen settings a bit, it can run lag free and upscaled. Some systems just need a lot of testing. Just don't try ps3/4, xbox 360 or wii u/switch as half the games won't run in batocera or work way slower then windows.

@TechDweeb Год назад

For sure. I was running Gamecube fine with this Batocera on my main PC. Ran great. For the rest of the tests (PS3/ 360) I'm going to switch to windows.

For emulating on a low end system it's more about the GPU. I'm surprised some of higher, harder to emulate systems ran well using the iGPU. I'm running Batocera on an old i7-3770 4c/8t CPU, 16gb 1600 MHz Ram and GT 1030 2gb GPU. It can run everything up to PS2 and DS alsong with most 3DS. Although some of the harder to emulate game settings need to be downgraded to play PS2 games and DS can't upscale passed 2x without problems and 3DS at only 1x or 2x depending on the game.

I'll be a perfectly decent human being and just say I'm glad you liked it, I won't even gloat 😁 My i3 4130 with its powerhouse of igpu upscales better, but sometimes an i5 2400 can be had for a laughable amount of money. I've purchased mine on an auction for peanuts, but if I had to do it again, I'd probably get an i5 4570, as they are barely any more expensive. And I definitely won't get an Acer again. It sounds like a B52 taking off. Oh, I don't know if you noticed, Retrobat got a rather major update. I guess you did, but if you didn't, it's bloody massive.

@CFWhitman Год назад

It might be interesting to see how much difference a low profile video card would make. I suspect it would help with upscaling, but not much with systems that don't emulate well at native resolution. Of course, you could also investigate a processor upgrade, but that might be a little advanced for the spirit of this video. I'm confident you could handle it, but it might be a bit intimidating for a significant portion of the target audience for the video. Just for information's sake to someone wanting to investigate this: A processor upgrade for old office PCs like this is about finding the best bang for the buck. Usually i7 processors will be priced too high to be worth it. However, you can sometimes find Xeon processors that will fit the socket for cheap that were harvested from old servers. They will usually have more threads than an i5 from the time, and that can help quite a bit with both emulation and native gaming. Of course, you have to figure out exactly what Xeon, if any, will fit the socket (which is one of the things that might be a bit advanced for the target audience of this video; it's easy to get the wrong processor for the socket).

@TechDweeb Год назад

I played Final Fantasy X on PCSX2 anno 2008 on a Q6600. I had to OC it to 3,6ghz @1,6V so it run well. Edit: With a small GPU, even if it`s old, like a GT730 u can increase massive the max resolution (depending on game and emulator). This old Igpu is as fast like high end GPU`s from maybe 2003. Thats why u cant increase resolution of the better systems like PS2

@TechDweeb Год назад

Retrobat is just the frontend, it makes browsing your game library a treat. But another good aspect of retrobat is that it comes with all the emulators pre-installed and setup, saving you time. If you want the bestest-best compatibility and peformance you should manually update the high end emulators (dolphin, RPCS3, xenia, citra, yuzu), but you can do that by accessing them through the retrobat install directory. Retrobat is the best frontend, IMO.

@firisrozley5768 Год назад

Old office PC powered with 4th gen Intel chipset is the better starting point when it comes to a budget PC for emulation up till PS2 / Wii-era games. Slap with a capable single-slot graphics card & you're basically good to go. I don't recommend anything with the 1st & 2nd gen Intel chipsets. For old PCs with just 3rd gen Intel chipsets, I'd make dual partitions on the hard drive; XP partition for XP-era games & emulation up till PS1 & Win 10 partition for modern games & emulation from PSP till PS2 / Wii.

@TechDweeb Год назад

YES, a GT 710 will offer a huge improvement over the igpu of the i5 2400. But if you put the GT 710 in a different PC with a different igpu then you probably wouldn't get any better performance (worse, actually) because most more modern iGPUs perform better than a GT 710. Also you're great. And so right.

And even IRL, I fixed a laptop for someone, it was a 2nd gen i5 laptop, and I copied over my retrobat install & gave them an SNES controller with it as a bit of a gift, and they were blown away that they could play all their old snes & sega games and even a few PS1 games. "I didn't think I could play ANY games on this old thing!". A few weeks later they messaged me to let me know they've been playing a ton of retro games and showed me a picture of their laptop hooked up to their TV playing tony hawk's 2.

I think it's more just the limit to what this ancient iGPU can handle. You might have better performance in other emulators but I doubt it. The Dreamcast relied more heavily on VRAM than its competitors so maybe there's something about that being emulated on a very weak iGPU that hamstrings it.

Hey there. Welcome! To answer your question - I believe I have a condition called VPI (Velopharyngeal insufficiency) which is where your windpipe at the back of your throat condenses more than usual and it causes my voice to be more nasally than most people's. It was so prevalent when I was a kid that my nickname was The Dweeb when I was in gradeschool. I found out I could control the nasally-ness of my voice when I concentrate on the airflow at the back of my throat, and I basically trained myself to talk 'normal' as I became a teenager, and now my 'normal' voice has barely a hint of The Dweeb, I can talk like a normal guy all day, but The Dweeb has sort of become my alter ego and I can slip into that voice at will.

On a clear spring day! ;) See what kind of emulation you can run on a Pentium I or Pentium II. Now that's old! At least use something without multiple cores!

Currently doing something similar with an old athlon emachine that I got for free in a parts lot. I'd say it's do able as long as the cpu used has decent single core performance

Brilliant idea! And I must say that I am really looking forward to seeing the next two videos Btw, I have been looking at "budget gaming PC deals" out there. I have noticed that bundles of a 12100F paired with a 1650 GTX (of unknown GDDR memory speed sadly) without an installed OS have been getting cheaper. I guess that in the not so far away future such PCs will be ~500$ (new) and possibly considerably less used. The reason I am looking for such a bundle is that, to my knowledge at least, Intel CPUs and Nvidia GPUs are considered best for emulation (eg 3DS emulation which is only OpenGL). What are your thoughts on a system like that? Many thanks T.D. Edit: For emulation purposes

Oh I think that's a rock solid choice for an emulation focused PC. You'll be able to do pretty much all the newer stuff at native, and all the older stuff upscaled. Not sure if you'll be able to upscale ps3 to 4k, for instance, but maybe. For the budget gaming PC I'll test I think I'm going to use a machine with a GDDR5 1650 (I haven't 100% decided yet). Yeah I think the world needs some good sub $500 bundles with a 1650 right about now. Hopefully with all the new stuff coming out in 2023 that'll push the price of the older stuff down.
