For 360, ps3, switch, wii u, 3ds, vita, Sega saturn, and og xbox emulation, you should check the compatability list on these emulators' websites. This mini pc can definitely emulate ssbu, botw, mario odyssey, and other AAA switch games. Luigi's mansion 3 isn't fully compatible with yuzu. Higher end emulators also have to compile shaders. It'll slow down when a new shader is compiled, but once it's compiled it won't slow down again. Shader compilation also depends on the game. I'm also possitive that this pc can emulate AAA Xbox 360 and ps3 games as long as they're compatible with the emulator. Some games like mgs4 aren't fully compatible, but can be played perfectly if you use a custom build of the emulator or maybe change the settings. Some of these emulators' websites tell you the best settings for each game. There will still be some games that won't run well no matter what you do, but these emulators get updated and should eventually be able to run these games.
I like to put together PC's as a hobby. But I find for the price to performance the pre-built mini PC with Windows 11 Pro included is a great way to go for a gamer on a budget.
Both Overlord 1 and 2 are available on both Steam and GOG. I did replay Overlord 1 and Overlord 2 around late 2020 on a slow Ryzen 3 3300U mini PC, and both game ran amazing at 1080p. I highly recommend getting Xbox 360/PS3 era games on Steam as long as they are playable.
What a great game overlord is! From the humor which could be sometimes dark and warped, to the little gremlins, to beating the crap out of Melvin… everybody should play this game! I wish too that they would do a remake as it would be brilliant as an darker alternative to Pikman.
I have a different brand mini pc with the same chip and can run lots of pc games, especially games from a few back run pretty good 900p with medium setting ish.
How well are we talking? Did you boot camp windows on it? I’m curious cuz I have a 2011 Mac mini I was using emulators on and it definitely had its limits.
@@BrentleyWhite Apple Silicon is really impressive. I have the M1 iMac and it flies compared to my old Intel model. 2 years on theyre getting even more impressive for creative stuff, but the M1 if you can find them second hand still give a lot of bang for your buck. But these Mini PCs would still be cheaper and probably better value for this purpose
I think I will buy this with the Asus Rog with, the retriod pocket 4 with 2 tb sd chips and the 12 tb hardrive full of games pre-loaded. Im not saying i wouldn't want to do the heavy-duty lifting but i work alot and prefer to have everything already done and i do the easy stuff and start playing.
Yeah I have a gaming PC but I want something to hook up to my TV to emulate on. About to hack my wii and use that for a bit, but can definitely see myself getting one of these for emulation.
I bought a mini PC some years ago. I keep it under my TV. It's still going strong. Bought it from Amazon after watching some reviews. Then the entire product got delisted from the site!
Now your also into emulation, maybe it is interesting for people to talk about the Coinops builds, very interesting and a easy setup to turn your mini pc into a arcade / console cabinet
I've seen a lot of those on amazon...some seem to good to be true...saw a 64GB 2TB with I think higher end i5 one from some company i never heard of for about 375. I was tempted but cautious.
i wouldnt say it runs elden ring. that frame rate is chuggin. but dont get me wrong this mini pc is an awesome buy for the price point. wish i waited to buy my son one. i spent the same price on a 5500u model i think it was. this has a better nvme, and at least 5 to 10 more FPS on all games.
I love the idea of these mini PC's but I am going to hold off a couple years just to let them get more powerful and the cost on some of them can be alittle extreme 🔥🔥
What should I go with. This or the Beelink SER5 pro.. they both have identical spec, Beelink is cheaper, but this looks like it might have better ventilation.. please help
It's crazy to see how much power they can pack into these mini PC's now. Great review but there are two downsides to this. 1- upgradability, being a very small form format means upgrades to the graphics card a few years down the line will be very difficult. 2- Heat, all small form factor PC's suffer from poor cooling, especially when gaming.
I wanted to buy this moddel but decided to pay $40 more and get the 5800H ($309) higher watt cpu allowing for faster speeds instead of this moddel with the 5700U ($269) lower watt cpu.
I have next to zero knowledge when it comes to pc gaming. I’m interested but have no clue where to start. The steam deck seems like a neat option. I’m definitely not biased towards any system. I have them all. PC gaming just seems overwhelming.
The only issue I see is storage capacity I would love something like this with a 2TB M.2 to play all the systems potentially and just load it with many consoles/games
preetty sure you can customize these as well and put more storage in. If you want at least you can get a external SSD or something for it like I am with my laptop.
its cheap.f you're only playing less resource hungry games, you cant do much better considering its a whole desktop as well. USED laptops with this processor are going for $500+. its like saying a 50K truck you got for 20k wasnt cheap/a deal. if you only have $400 in your account, this definitely wouldn't be worth $329 of it though.
Overlord killed my old PC, every game ran fine, but Overlord would BSOD every hour or so, after 5 crashes over two weeks, the GPU never came back to life. Never dared to touch it since then, but it might be time for a revisit.
Is the reason for playing the XBox 360 version of Overlord instead of the PC version just to prove it can handle that level of detail? Because the PC version will definitely be more plug and play.
Might as well just get a 14 inch gaming laptop like the asus G14. Hands down the best portable gaming laptop on the market for like $1,200. It's held up about 3-4yr for me and play just about any game just fine. Even flight simulator
I want a mini pc to play N64, PS1, PS2 , GameCube games. I want something that you can upscale games on and they won’t lag. Can anyone recommend a good mini pc for the job. This one looks pretty good to be fair 😊
What is the best ps1, ps2, gamecube , dream cast with (complete libaries? that runs the best?) i am also interested in 3ds, gameboy advance and gameboy full libaries but i wish to find something that can run the main 4 that i need.).
pstv is basically a ps Vita tho you can't play every vita game (like uncharted golden abyss requires rear touch pad) pretty much tops out at arcade/nes-PS1/PSP era. a mini pc with an Intel core i7 can emulate PS2, GameCube, Wii, Xbox, some switch games, as well as being able to run windows. way more powerful than a pstv or android TV box
@@dreamybull1509 I appreciate the clarity, as I’m a novice at this stuff. I’ll shop around and find myself something like this so I can run games from more recent consoles. Thank you!
I am not rgt, but I assume it runs better. The specs are better than my computer, and I do a lot of video editing, and it's pretty smooth for the most part.

Great video. You’ve really opened my eyes to mini pcs for gaming.
This might be the future for pc gaming. 😮😮😮 if it's able to play those type of games and pack some decent specs on there.
and cuz it's so small you don't need to about where to put it. lol
4:15 - 4:30 was hilarious, attempting to go around the traffic only to clusterf*** yourself into a worse situation
I remember Overlord. It's been a long time since I've heard anyone bring it up.
this sounds great for Arcade builds
What a great game overlord is! From the humor which could be sometimes dark and warped, to the little gremlins, to beating the crap out of Melvin… everybody should play this game! I wish too that they would do a remake as it would be brilliant as an darker alternative to Pikman.
Looking pretty Good I agree with RGT anything above Xbox 360 is like bonus
That PC just arrived yesterday. Having lots of fun 😁
I bet this mini PC can play more PC Games. I want to see more PC Games running on this thing.
I have a different brand mini pc with the same chip and can run lots of pc games, especially games from a few back run pretty good 900p with medium setting ish.
I've got the R5 5600U version of the AM06 Pro, as the R7 5800U version wasn't available at the time I got it. It's a great PC.
Overlord is one of my favorite games, and i do talk about. Have both on PC, PS3 and X360. I also have the Wii Overlord game.
I just got a Mac mini refurbished with the M1 chip for about $420. It runs emulators, (including Ryujinx) really well.
How well are we talking? Did you boot camp windows on it? I’m curious cuz I have a 2011 Mac mini I was using emulators on and it definitely had its limits.

the good old blu-raytracing
That is a nice piece of machinery. Windows and emulation, you can't go wrong.
I use my Atari VCS ruining Windows 11 to emulate games. I don't care to play newer PC games as I already have a gaming PC. But it works really well.
Seems decent for the price point. I wont emulate on a system I already have but for the older stuff it looks great.
Yeah I have a gaming PC but I want something to hook up to my TV to emulate on. About to hack my wii and use that for a bit, but can definitely see myself getting one of these for emulation.
Just bought mine. Thanks man.
How are you liking yours 6 months later? Been debating.
Rgt85 is my good friend we drink beer
Thanks for the review please consider showing the frame rate in your future project
I bought a mini PC some years ago. I keep it under my TV. It's still going strong. Bought it from Amazon after watching some reviews.
Then the entire product got delisted from the site!
@RGT 85 I loved Overlord, that was one of my favorite 360 games because it was like Fable with minions you control 🤟🏻
Now your also into emulation, maybe it is interesting for people to talk about the Coinops builds, very interesting and a easy setup to turn your mini pc into a arcade / console cabinet
Overlord was the last 360 game i borrowed from my brother.
Simpsons Road Rage was a lot of fun, I had it on the ps2. Probably the best Crazy Taxi clone I’ve played.
Wow I'm sold. Gonna keep it in my Amazon wishlist til the price drops a bit before I buy
I've seen a lot of those on amazon...some seem to good to be true...saw a 64GB 2TB with I think higher end i5 one from some company i never heard of for about 375. I was tempted but cautious.
I got one of those for 270£ and it's amazing love it :)
Man I looooved Battle Fantasia on the 360
I love Minions, some great looking characters in the artwork / game
I loved blitz and nfl streets and nba streets
If I could play Mario kart and assassin's creed, I'll be happy.😅
Has anyone here found a beefier mini pc build? Thanks RGT85
Overlord was my fucking jam when it came out. 13 year old me was in heaven
It's is literally built to emulate games that little thing is one powerful computer. From what I've learned. Gonna order one this week
You are correct it's a beast. Have another i7 Intel mini couldn't run GC , but this one can. This one was a few dollars cheaper too.
i wouldnt say it runs elden ring. that frame rate is chuggin. but dont get me wrong this mini pc is an awesome buy for the price point. wish i waited to buy my son one. i spent the same price on a 5500u model i think it was. this has a better nvme, and at least 5 to 10 more FPS on all games.

Which one did you buy? You can see the Ser 5 pro highlighter how many watts it uses since the ser 5 ( none pro) , was locked to less watts

This one sucks and has a old chip even the Ally surpasses it by a mile
yeah well you're buying a disposable mini pc, not a mini case, that's a different market altogether
there isn't even a graphics card, it uses Vega 8 Integrated graphics which is slightly better than a ps2 or original xbox
You're talking about upgrading a $330 mini pc.
Yoooo, overlord and jade empire is my game back in the day 6:30
It’s seems to run games perfectly I’ll probably buy one thanks
Is this one better then the last mini pc that he showcased?
That is a really sweet little setup.
if you buy an xbox one you can also play all those games, and stuff like elden ring even better :) (btw for the same price or maybe even cheapter)
I own this little beast. You gotta upgrade it for full potential
I just ordered what upgrades should one do... I've never had a PC so any help would be appreciated
I wanted to buy this moddel but decided to pay $40 more and get the 5800H ($309) higher watt cpu allowing for faster speeds instead of this moddel with the 5700U ($269) lower watt cpu.

I have next to zero knowledge when it comes to pc gaming. I’m interested but have no clue where to start. The steam deck seems like a neat option. I’m definitely not biased towards any system. I have them all. PC gaming just seems overwhelming.
For a mini pc it looks like a good performer for its price
I am between the BosGame PC B100 (N100) or the Beelink 12s (Also N100). bosgame is MUCH cheaper but specs seems the roughly same.
The only issue I see is storage capacity I would love something like this with a 2TB M.2 to play all the systems potentially and just load it with many consoles/games
preetty sure you can customize these as well and put more storage in. If you want at least you can get a external SSD or something for it like I am with my laptop.
Is the problem with the mini pc keeping the system cool? So no cooling system in the pc??
My biggest question would be how durable are these things, I agree they are amazing in performance/price relation. But for how long?
Pretty impressive But I wouldn't say 300 plus dollars is cheap
its cheap.f you're only playing less resource hungry games, you cant do much better considering its a whole desktop as well. USED laptops with this processor are going for $500+. its like saying a 50K truck you got for 20k wasnt cheap/a deal. if you only have $400 in your account, this definitely wouldn't be worth $329 of it though.
@@DylanPorto45 You make a very good point, I think it's definitely Great value for the money

Never dared to touch it since then, but it might be time for a revisit.
what would you choose between the beelink mini and this ACEMAGICIAN mini?

£300 pc is not cheap anymore and should have decent spec
Might be good for a HTPC/Media Center PC.
Your awesome man keep it up buddy
It does look like a very good bang for buck system
my take aways from this video is that this guy REALLY like overlord. which is fair.
I want a mini pc to play N64, PS1, PS2 , GameCube games. I want something that you can upscale games on and they won’t lag. Can anyone recommend a good mini pc for the job. This one looks pretty good to be fair 😊
@RGT85 I really enjoyed the Overlord games for the 360 they are great!! Was the Fellowship of Evil a PC only game?
This doesn’t come with the games though right? What is a good buy that has it all built in and plays well?
This is £519 in the UK sadly.
God bless the King of Piracy.
Yea but you could do a lot on a Series X, if they would let you.
Would you still recommend this mini pc? Or is there something newer and better in this price range? Thanks!
but can it run Crysis?
Can this run dual monitors?
Yes, even 3
Pretty impressive!
Can you plug this PC directly into a tv or do you have to run it thru a computer and does this PC come with all the games?
is there a big difference in performance between the 5800 and 5700 ? (the 5700 is cheaper on amazon- would it run the same of games or not? )
What is the best ps1, ps2, gamecube , dream cast with (complete libaries? that runs the best?) i am also interested in 3ds, gameboy advance and gameboy full libaries but i wish to find something that can run the main 4 that i need.).
Can it run Pinball FX or FX3? If it could run Visual Pinball, this would be perfect for a pinball cab.
I was thinking the same. I'd like to know as well.
Am I missing something this thing can't even run gamcube games in native resolution in dolphin? Is something not set up right?
no, it's trash. Refund it while u can.
I just had to turn of vsync and it ran smooth.
You can buy a Minisforum Hg90x with Radeon 6600m - you can play anything 😊
How does this mini pc do with Wii games, like donkey kong country returns and Mario galaxy 2?
can't see overlord coming back since its now EA ownership when bought up with the Codemasters catalog.
Price went up a hundred bucks damnit
Overlord is a great game, one of my favorites on the console.
My face when you're an Overlord in Overlord
Are the ROMs already loaded on this PC? Or do you have to download the ROMs yourself?
You gotta download them yourself because if they were preloaded that would be illegal
Google is your friend. 😊
@@jeff15google is filled with spam links and malware and definitely not your friend
I ended up ordering this but I got 32 instead of the 16 the price wasn’t a big difference.
My Beelink was 32GB too... and when you open it to upgrade, all components inside are Crucial so decent quality!
I just snagged a similar machine from minisforum. What kind of monitors should I be looking for😅
He's the Angry Emulation TH-camrrrrrrrrrrrr
Are all the games already loaded? Or where are they coming from?
I loved overloard i still have it ,now overlord 2 eh
This will hook up to a tv through HDMI, correct?
How does a mini PC like this compare to the PlayStation TV? If this is better, I’ll pick one up. I’m just trying to figure out pros and cons. Thanks.
pstv is basically a ps Vita tho you can't play every vita game (like uncharted golden abyss requires rear touch pad)

Does it come with the games and emulators on it or does each have to be added individually
