Your friend is lucky to have a friend like you! Unfortunately, now I'm thinking of building one of these for myself. Most of my Android devices don't have the power to run most of this software, but it looks like this repurposed PC eats all this stuff for breakfast and asks for seconds.
Hi, im new here and subbed as well, you actually amazed me when i find your channel, i was stuck having a high end pc but unable to play mobile games that i like because of my phone, i did what you did in this vid and im very happy with the results, who knew you could use an android os on a pc
Woah that's a neat setup. Considering how much trouble RPIs have with PSP and N64 emulators and video Streaming at almost €80 (after you add storage, dongle, case, power supply) this is a pretty good alternative!
Actually, there is a way to bypass the fornite requirement thingy. You have to use gl tools and fake the gpu to an adreno 530, I tried fortnite with an overclocked snapdragon 810 and the results were not very favourable. You also have to use magisk, and one hide root access for fortnite and two use the renamed magisk package in the magisk settings. If anyone is wondering, fornite runs between 5 and 20 fps on an overclocked snapdragon 810 (2Ghz across all cores, all cores enabled and 700Mhz on the GPU) at low settings, 1080p 37.5% resolution scale.
@@hirokakhand6584 doesnt work because its an x86 platform emulating an arm chip, i.e not compatible binaries. pretty sure BlissOS isnt supported anymore, and the last version of gl tools to work was on android oreo. Imagine it like this, its like trying to force a large square block in a small circle shaped hole, it just doesn't work. Plus the fact blissOs has modified the window manager on android and a heap of other shit. Personally I would try a lineageOS-based build of android x86 with root access enabled from the terminal and something based of oreo, your luck might be a bit better. And it would work better if you were not using an x86 platform. Seriously? How stupid do you have to be. It does work, but I am perplexed to how you don't.
Not 100% sure but I assumed that the original video had copyright issue. This was my tweet I sent: @theetaprime I had the craziest dream last night. You made a video on how to build a $100 Android Gaming /Emulation PC. But I guess dreams don't come true ;(. #TH-camCopyrightBotIsBS

Nice video and cool to see Android on a desktop with older hardware! Does Android (PrimOS) support dedicated gpu's? Have a passive GT1030 and some old hardware I might try this with in a itx case.. Does it help in Android games? Keep the good videos up!
It is your motherbard, CPU and Ram making it perform better except no Dedicated GPU. It still wonderable that CPU and motherboard has great impact on performance levels.
Everyone should get this Lenovo right eta prime everyone should build a game pc right eta prime hey eta prime you the best hard working man in the world and keep up the good work ☺your awesome eta prime😃
I'd love to see the same thing done but with a device with the lowest power consumption to highest playability factor. The best thing that can get as close to the performance of the Nvidia Shield but less than $100 that also sips electricity.
You should do a ryzen 2200g-3400g shootout on prime os! It would be nice to see if each cpu has an advantage over the other in Android. Also would like to know if the ryzen would support audio through HDMI. Definitely going to try it out regardless!
I commented on the prime install tutorial, anyways i know how to do this but refreshers are always nice, what needing yo ask you is, have you done android tv install yet, it works awesome

I got news for you, a lot of mobile games have been updated over this summer and now do not run on x86 architecture. I don't know why THIS summer is when it all happened, but it did, and you may have set him up with an obsolete machine
Pink Droid it’s not x86 anyway, its amd64. Even the PrimeOS help page seems to have no idea what processors are what architecture (only SPARC & Atom are x86 since Core Solo/Duo run, everything Core2 and newer are 64 bit). If this was indeed an x86 install (on a 64 bit machine), performance suffered a bit
Here's the deal u get screen with OS included, Buy Mi TV 4a 32inch around 150USD, run game from 8bit, 16bit, PSX, NDS smooth no lag. It can run Redream, Yabause, PPSSPP limited compatibility.
I would like to see some buffed up smart TVs I'm sure there is stuff I can cram in a tv.... dont know if you have done anything like this prime but if not why not make some videos. Sorry if I sound crazy just would be something I'm interested in
I recently walked away with an arm full of Dell Optiplex SFF computers with i5-6500 CPUs, 8GB RAM, SSDs. I threw a GT 1030 into one for a 4K HDR HTPC and an HD7750 into another for a CRT-based arcade. @ETA PRIME have you tested the Retroarch run ahead feature?
Can you try running Mobile Legends on one of your Android PC builds? It's one of the most popular games right now and I want to know if it works. Thanks!
Looking for something that'll play Atari, NES, SNES, GBC, GBA, N64, GameCube, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, PSP, Wii, some old PC games. What's my bottom dollar for something that'll run all those at peak resolution?
But will it play Dragalia Lost? I shall go test it. lol I just got a HPZ220 for next to nothing with a 1TB HDD installed,4gb of ram and on board video. I have found that the only wifi card that is truly universal is one made by TP Link. The one in your video always seems to need drivers and will not work on Rock64 products let alone pc's with out drivers. Dont get me wrong, it is a good wifi card when it works The TP-Link | N150 USB wireless WiFi network Adapter just seems to work with out needing drivers on just about anything. It even worked on my Samsung Blu ray player ,which shocked me. THe Tp Link is around $8 USD. If you truly need wifi and nothing will work on the device, then I suggest a Vonets VAP11G-300 Wireless Wifi Ethernet adapter. It plugs directly into the ethernet port and requires only usb power to run. I even use it quite a bit at work for older devices that have no replacement but need wifi. It retails for $20 USD.
i have a "thing", it has an atom x5 z8350, 4gb ram, and an intel hd 400 (the 400 stand for 400mhz, that gpu is even worse than the hd 4000 on my thinkpad x230), thankfully i've got it for free, but with 64gb emmc (and no expandibility at all, everything is soldered) windows 10 runs very, very, very bad. maybe primeos can bring a new life in it? (the cpu clock at 1.44ghz base, but with 4 core it turbo to 1.67)
Is the issue with HDMI a hardware issue of this machine or a software issue for Prime OS? I'd like to see if you can get *Honkai Impact 3rd* to run. it's a decent looking action game that you can play via an official android emulator on PC, but they hobble the graphic performance, and I'd like to know if this can get the improved graphics.

As 3.5 is the only way to get audio from this setup. The “real issue” is buying a cable the converts 3.5 to rca. If you tv doesn’t have a 3.5 input.
