      How does this run emulation compared to the Steam deck? I bought both my daughter and I a steam deck. I’ve never dove into emulation but have been thinking about giving it a try.

    Got this in yesterday and I'm returning it today. Upon booting it up everything worked wonderfully. Then I proceeded to update everything and once I got to the amd driver updates the system crashed and rebooted. Once it rebooted all the drivers were gone and the wifi/bt card wasn't detected. Reset the pc with win11, no luck. Clean installed win10, no luck. Opened it up and reinserted the wifi card and boom everything worked again. I proceeded to update the amd drivers and the same crap happened again. Packed it up and returning it today.

    Without adding a GPU to an OptiPlex, this will blow away most of the ones you will get in this price range. For PC games obviously an OptiPlex plus GPU will probably be the better choice, but emulation this thing may still be better because it has a more modern CPU to handle emulation of newer consoles better.

  • @krathoon2338
    @krathoon2338 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Yes. This one is awesome. I bought one. You can emulate up to a XBox 360 on it. Also, you can use the latest Windows emulators. That is a big plus. Find a cheap 4TB SSD and put it in it.

  • @tjshultz89
    @tjshultz89 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is a great mini pc. There is a way to jerry rig up a graphics card to it though. You'll need to switch to a 2.5" sata SSD first of all and free up the m.2 slot. Then get a NVME M.2 to PCI 16 adapter for $35. That'll let you connect a graphics card. You'll need a separate PSU to power the graphics card, and you'll want to get a beefier fan or liquid cooler and power that off the PSU as well. You could just migrate all of these components to a bigger case to do all of that, or get a test bench case to mount the added components.
    I got the 32gb of ram version for $375, but the price just went up to $469. For that price I would just build my own pc.

      @@krathoon2338 not hard for software emulators to be accurate if that's your thing too. FPGA emus rely on reverse engineering just as software emus do, so there really isn't any major features fpga have over software emulation, unless it plays carts directly, and even then, there's nothing stopping the chinese handheld makers from putting out a product that does that.

    • @acejon2162
      @acejon2162 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      With regards to emulation some emulators are CPU intensive and others graphics intensive so you need a balance between the 2.
      Purely for emulation, a 5900HX or Ryzen 7 6000/7000 series CPUs can emulate upto PS3/WiiU/Switch so you don't really need a dedicated graphics card, unless you also play PC games.
