After your review of the Super Console X Mini PC, I seriously considered it. Then I opted instead to try putting Batocera on a 2TB external USB drive and booting into that on my Lenovo Flex 5 laptop. I had trouble getting it to even recognize my 8BitDo controller. I tried to access the main menu to see if I could map the buttons, but I had no idea how to access the menu with my keyboard (discovered later it's the spacebar). Finally I plugged it in via USB and got it recognized and mapped and finally configured it wireless. Some of the game systems didn't look good to me, so I've been tinkering with the RetroArch settings to get them to look better, with some results working better than others. I've found PS1 games in particular to look like garbage. PSP has been the best for me, because they look incredible on the screen and mostly perform much better than my Anbernic handhelds. N64 runs some games that don't even run on the Pi4 (I have one of those as well). I may do a dual comparison of the video setting in RetroArch on my Pi4 to see if I can get SNES, PS1, etc. to look better. I can't remember what I did, but Genesis looked bad until I did *something*. :) Thanks for the inspiration, and I'd love a video on getting the best settings (similar to what you did for the RG351P).

Yes, and some J3455 models are also using cheap and slow DDR3 RAM in them, and the vendors aren't always telling. Some models (like the one used in this video) have faster DDR4, and I assume this has a huge impact on performance, as I had one of those DDR3 J3455 and DC games weren't even playable on it, and even PS1 was "barely ok". Forget N64 or GC. Anyone considering one of these mini PCs should spend just a little more and get a J4125. I think all J4125 use DDR4 too, on top of having a better CPU/GPU. So just get a J4125 folks.

Nice vid 👍 I was originally going to get android box but in the end went the pre owned Lenovo Tiny PC route and never looked back. Didnt want to spend a great deal either so its good value too. I just wanted a 'console' to run the systems that my PS Classic and the android boxes struggle with,namely N64,Dreamcast, PSP and so the Lenovo does that great..and these can also be upscaled and still run great. The bonus part is I now can also play Saturn as well and even a lot of gamecube, and many PS2 and some xbox and Wii even. Thats just a bonus. I specifically bought the Lenovo for this, as a retro emulation console. I did plan to have it all installed on the internal HDD but thought it handy to keep windows on it should I ever need a spare PC. (Which did come in handy once when I needed it) And so I now boot Batocera off a flash drive and have the roms on an attached portable HDD. Works very well. I know youve mentioned this in a previous vid but incase anyone missed it, checkout Batocera Nation yt channel, he has many tutorials on Batocera for PC.

You can pick up a Dell / Lenovo / HP mini business PC - slightly larger, but an i5 rather than a J chip for less than that. Admittedly it would be a used PC rather than a new one - but it would generally be better built (built for business use rather than home use), and faster as well as cheaper. i.e. I picked up a Dell 3050 micro with an i5-7500t last year for £112 (delivered) on Ebay - with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD (2.5" SATA one oddly - rather than NVMe), but if I add an old NVMe drive (I upgraded the one in my main PC), I can use one for Windows and one for Batocera - and both would be SSDs.

Yeah, those little older T model Tiny PC's are awesome little machines. Whether it be the Lenovo, HP or Dell ones. Yeah they might be used but if you are using them for retro machines with Batocera I think they are well worth it for the price. Even as a PC as long as they are in decent condition. I actually started with a Lenovo M73 i5 4570T 2.9ghz 2 cores 4 threads. For Batocera only and was. great for the price. Then I bought a HP800 G2 i7 6700T 2.8ghz 4 cores 8 threads. Again for Batocera only, nice bump in performance. Run a reg 2TB HDD with Batocera running internally off that. And I actually use the older Lenovo i5 as my main PC now, still plenty for what I use it for,I just put in a 1TB Crucial MX500 SSD, installed Windows and all good.

PS1 and Sega CD runs well on a 4k firestick. Most likely you have one and can use it until you buy your real retro device. I successfully ran marvel vs Capcom 2 on a firestick. Didn't think it was possible but it is. A bit of tweaking playing with RetroArch settings to get the full 60fps. PS1 and Sega CD is no problem with 60fps on a firestick. Emulation up to Dreamcast is the limit on a firestick. The core I use to play mvc2 in RetroArch is Flycast emulator.

Runs gamecube games at 1080p without much issue. In my experience Batocera/Lakka is hit or miss, setting up gamecube or non-standard controllers is not always easy. You also seem to have less settings overall. Dolphin on PC/Linux has more features. At some point, I realized I'd rather set up my own emulators and make sure everything works.

Not super familiar with Batocera yet, but would this process work with an sd card on the Super Console X King? I really want to make mine a better experience. The stock stuff is trash

Hi, I would look at some of the mini PCs in the Minis Forum catalog, they are probably some of the best for your money right now. The price range will be relatively high, about $400 for solid PS2 gameplay.

$400 to $600 for miniPCs that can run many PS2 games comfortably. Specific models include Minisforum UM700, Beelink GTR or GMK BuxBox 2 etc. A cheaper alternative would be those used super compact SFF Lenovo/HP office PCs. that are

UM700 uses the Ryzen 3750 which is quite old, for PS3 better to get those high end models running Ryzen 5700G or higher. ETA reviewed quite a handful of models with 5700G, 5800, 5900 etc, go check out his videos to see the performance.

Can windows still read the drive that has Batocera on it? Mainly, can I access the roms I put into Batocera from windows for the emulators that run on Windows or do I need to have 2 copies of the roms?

Next step, Russ buys a barebones kit and builds his own MiniPC to put Batocera on it. Yeah, I'm one of the DIY crazies that have already done that XD You might have better GameCube performance with the standalone version of Dolphin on the Windows side, some of these cheap APUs aren't that well supported over Linux, which combined with standalone emulators often being updated more often than libretro cores can make it worth to play some system only on the Windows side...

YEAH, this will take literally probably 6-8hrs to set up and get the settings right, unless you're providing the RetroArch settings files too. And that $400 option, while not great, has a lot of hard to find games on rom sites, in it and semi-formatted to work. While also coming with the mini-PC setup for you. Edit: $200 for the PC, and about $100 for the peripherals and Hard Drive, especially if you go SSD (though why you wouldn't just go with a 512MB microSD card, who knows). SO, $300-ish, and lots and lots of labor. OR $400

Totally agree, there is a lot of cost (and time) savings to be had in getting a pre-loaded system. But sometimes the labor part can be a little fun too :)

Is CPU under that yellow gum-like thing? I don't see any passive, either. That will make a cooling upgrade a wee more difficult. It will probably involve drilling a holes on a top plate in order to fit a passive cooler and fan somehow.

I think i'm going to just buy one of these straight up in a few months and just use it for watching digital movies/emulating retro games in the home entertainment center and just stick with the included windows 10. Already got a wireless keyboard & controllers so all i'd really need to buy is another bluetooth dongle and i'd be good to go. Tempting... 🤔

Do you have sound in all mame games? I'm still trying to figure out how to get the sound working in e.g. Tekken. Also, you could set up Grub for dual boot menu, but that's complicated.

Hi, yeah good point on Grub, but I think that's beyond the scope of videos like this. For sound, Tekken in particular has issues depending on the core/romset you use. Also try to go into the MAME settings (the one with the dipswitches and whatnot) and increase the cabinet volume, that's an issue on some games like UMK3 and Killer Instinct.
