I’ve also seen the 3400ge version of this up on eBay so keep an eye out, it may offer a bit better performance
You know, the Prodesk/ Elitedesk G4 Mini and newer models are capable of running triple A games at high settings using an external GPU. It works way better than the older generation Intel and AMD CPU's like the i5-6500T from your previous video.
How about xenia canary?
Can it stream game pass, or steam os
As the hardware admin for a community college, i can say that the 3400GE does offer a pretty good performance bump as long as the price difference isnt too great.
The 2400GE is based on Zen1 and on 16nm, the 3400GE is Zen+ and 12nm, you get better clocks on the CPU and GPU, and you also get a bit more performance per clock on the CPU
The up side is that the 3400GE is fully supported by Windows 11, where as the 2400GE is not supported, though it will ruin at least for now.
I have the 3400ge version and I am having trouble getting Batocera to boot from the USB. Once the splash screen shows it then goes to black screen although the system is accessible from SSH I cannot get it to recognise the display. This was on V3.5 I might try an older version and see what happens.
Update for people considering this mini PC: after upgrading my Lenovo m715q (same APU as the HP) with the latest Batocera 38 stable build and some more testing, can confirm PS3 games will run on native resolution, and graphical glitches are mostly gone. But only a few easier-to-run games like Tekken 6 or GoW Collection will be doable, most PS3 games will be too much for this PC.
OG Xbox runs fine at native, some games can be upscaled to 2x. GC, Wii, PS2, and Dreamcast will run great upscaled at 1080p, although for others like God of War 2, you will have to go 720p for smoother gameplay. Wii U can be upscaled to 1080p with a few games, but still looks really nice when played on native resolution with the exception being BotW (so far), which is running at 12fps tops even on native and it's just unplayable on this machine.
After 6 months with this PC, I can say it is still an excellent emulation box, was totally worth the price I paid (CAD$250, including memory upgrade) and since ETA's review, it had some nice improvements in performance and compatibility. Would recommend this if you are on a very strict budget and can get it for less than US$200 (you will probably have to upgrade memory and storage). Over that price, I would look into a 5800h mini PC that will give you much better performance (4c/8t vs 8c/16t) and expand your PS3, Wii U, and (very possibly) Xbox 360 catalog.
Hope this update helps you on your decision, cheers :)
Thank you 🙏
Do you think the raisin five pro 3400 G would increase performance much
This Is Gold. Thanks
Thank you!! Much needed info
@@user-pg3wf2ey9f Unlikely. The G variant is only slightly stronger than the GE variant, so slight it probably wouldn't up performance for anything higher than 5-10 percent. Certainly not enough to get PS3 and up to be any better than it is here in this video and since everything else that runs great on the GE variant is already at a more than acceptable level the G would not give you much more to look forward to, maybe the ability to boost resolution very slightly without a lag or framerate penalty but that's really it. On top of that, you would NEED the 65W variant of the 705 G5 which does have different internal components and a 65W external power supply.
these are the videos i miss the most. i love reusing old systems like this so much
Got a 2200GE recently for 85$. Can’t beat that!
I have the same deal 2200ge for 85$. How is the performance, should I buy it?
I love seeing more and more performances being squeezed out of older hardware.
Would be really cool if we could get an ETA Emulator chart to help rank different CPU's
Would be a great reference to see what kind of performance you can get out of something like a new Intel N6005 vs something like a Ryzen 2400GE at a glance. Could even just be a public Google Sheets document
+1
Yes, great idea
I've always wondered why ETA doesn't include some sort of graphs showing performance vs different systems. The online sheet would be awesome, could call it the Prime Score :) Be cool to see columns showing X game or system and Y or N if it hits 60fps etc.
Agreed.
Someone did it for Project Farm, so someone is eventually gonna do it for ETA :3
I picked up one of these last summer when you first reviewed them; 16GiB and 256GiB NVME, no wireless. They are getting cheap these days.
It has worked well for me as a low-power PC. I run older Steam games. I did have lock up on boot issues with the amdgpu driver with multiple versions of linux. Turns out the bios had legacy option ROM boot for video. Changed to EFI video ROM and now works fine.
Note: there is an option board: L25757-001 that replaces the VGA port for an extra HDMI. Be careful as it is easy to bend the pins over on the main board.
I also added a 2.5" SATA drive caddy. These are hard to find and make sure it is for the SFF version of the 705.
16 watts idle and 25W playing video will work well when I go solar in an RV.
These HP Mini machines indeed have a board you can swap out, it's the Flex IO. If you want to, you could add any port you'd want to. Some types even offer USB-C!
You're my hero! I was struggling with this intermittent amdgpu problem, and this did the trick. I wasn't sure what you meant about "bios had legacy option ROM boot for video", but switching my BIOS settings in Advanced > Secure Boot Configuration from "Legacy Support Enable and Secure Boot Disable" to "Legacy Support Disable and Secure Boot Disable" got it working reliably. Thanks for the tip!
@@nicholasscastellano It's really weird to be honest, this exact mini PC won't work properly with Batocera on UEFI but will work with Legacy, meanwhile with Windows & AMD hardware it tends to show issues the other way around.
@@hereis_Tiff Mine is working on UEFI after disabling Secure Boot with the setting described in my previous comment. I'm running the latest BIOS (Q26 Ver. 02.20.00 09/26/2022), updated via the Windows installer sp143193.exe from HP. I applied factory default BIOS settings, set the Secure Boot to the third option, and set a 5 second startup delay to make it easier to get into the BIOS settings menu. All other options are left at factory defaults, Hope that helps!
Thanks for the video! I would love to see a video exploring upscaling and shader potential of this PC for the easier to run consoles like Genesis and PS1.
A few notes on this PC. I have the 2400G (60 w version). Windows 11 is NOT supported. You can side load it, but it won't have support nor updates from Windows. Amazon is selling the 16Gb version (RAM), and it's coming with the original HP power supply. I got mine for about 160 USD. Came with the 2.5 HD craddle, keyboard and mouse. Runs a little hot for my tastes, but i will be installing a 2T m.2 drive. Overall a great buy.
These old school/Classic style ETA videos of prebuilts and mini PCs are the best. It's how you made a loyal follower out of me! Core2Duo boyz holla back
Just got mine up & going, thank you for this. so far I'm ecstatic.
You're on a roll amigo. Another solid, inexpensive little gaming machine (your other was the Anerbicsic whatever RG35XX). Gracias! 😎
Outstanding work, Prime!
What's crazy is not even a decade ago this was unthinkable for me as a kid. I had to have the consoles to be able to play the games I wanted. I also had to buy the games I wanted.
I'm so glad I can have every game I wanted as a kid and couldn't afford, for free.
@etaprime the fact that your test game for the GC was Auto Modellista!! *tears* I never see anyone test or talk about this game and it's literal why I dont want to buy handheld emulators or have been against the wall on building something until reasonably priced... love that game, I play it on my series S :D
Impressive and cheap system running on my favorite gaming OS. Great video! Thanks!
Great content was always! The only problem with this videos is that instantly the price of this machines you share raises to the double, triple or even more!! Hehehe happy new year to everybody, cheers!!!
Just bought this exact little system after looking for an orange pi 5. Great video so thankyou for this, I mainly want a gamecube and PSP machine and this looks great.
Getting close to that 1 million subscribers, almost there 🎉😁👍
Great video 👍
Tiny mini micros are nice for clustering experimentation, too.
Kindest regards, neighbours and friends.
I picked up this model with 16gb and the optional SATA caddy for $65 on eBay and it was in pristine condition.
I have watched so many of your videos and others. I am going to get this mini pc.
I made one of these into a Batocera machine and it emulates GameCube at 1080p perfectly, and can even handle God of War 2 on PS2 flawlessly.
What resolution did you run God of War 2?
How does it run Yuzu?
Thanks
Did you flash Batocera on a USB drive? If so, would you mind sharing the BIOS settings you changed to boot into Batocera?
@@RogeriusRex I run it at 1280x720. Batocera uses CEMU. It actually runs really well on Batocera v36.
@@ryancox4689 I actually flashed it to an NVME drive and installed it internally. Works great.
There is a Secure Boot setting with dual options that have to both be listed as disabled. I believe it's "Secure Boot Disabled / Legacy Mode Disabled".
Batocera won't boot it either are Enabled.
I had one of these systems and it’s really good. yeah, I actually used it and gave it to one of my friends who wanted a small emulation station PC.
I've got a version of the lenovo m75q coming in with a ryzen 5 4650ge. Definitely excited to see what it has to offer with emulation and some lighter steam games. Seeing this makes me think its going to perform nicely with most things I'd be looking to throw at it.
This really makes the Atari VCS more of an aesthetic want, even when it's on sale. Can't really justify that purchase after seeing both of these videos. Thank you ETA.
Man I paid closer to $200 for this, but that was a year ago... GREAT emulation machine and HTPC :)
great video btw... but i wished you had included gameplay of the metroid prime series...i would have like to know how well it would have performed
This is great form factor PC for this type of project.
Really appreciate you re testing old hardware! New drivers and also newer versions of emulators can make games playable when in the past it was out of the question.
May I ask, can the RX6400 now play games using Xemu?
Rx6400 should be plenty for Xemu.
I have to say: THANK YOU SO MUCH. I watched this when it was new. Flash forward, I'm at this store that sells amazon returns for a huge discount. They often just sell the contents of a box for $15 each. I find a box with TWO of these, they sell it to me for $15. Both have i7s, and 1tb SSDs, 32gb ram. I instantly recognized it from this video, so you really helped me out!
That i7 is going to have less gaming performance than the 2400ge in the video.
@@Druid2212 That's correct, but it's still capable of playing a lot of stuff from my childhood, and at the $15 I got it for I'm willing to suffer the downgrade. I'm still emulating a lot of PS2 games and everything below with no issue.
Just got one from eBay definitely going to do this
Fantastic review! You can guide me on a cheap pc similar to this one, with dedicated graphics already integrated, to be able to emulate switch fluidly, thank you very much, I don't miss any video, too bad my budget is very low, if not, I would buy everything you show 😍
Love these videos on the cheap, older sff machines for emulation. Have any great machines to look for around the $300 mark?
I ordered one of these on Amazon and got lucky, they sent me one with a normal 2400 with 16GB of ram instead.
I believe you did a very similar video a few months ago with one of these (or a slightly different version?) and I jumped on a 16gb RAM version for a tad more. It is exactly what I was hoping to get and runs like a dream for even several games as recent as PS3. I use it for both Steam and Launchbox/BigBox.
Which 16gb Version did you exactly order?
HP EliteDesk 705 G4 Mini, 16 gb, Ryzen 5 Pro 2400GE. For PS3, I run RPCS3 either standalone or via LaunchBox.
Can you link the video please. I searched on your channel and wasnt able to find. Thanks.
This is great. A traditional x64 architecture CPU definitely seems like the way to go.
I'd love to see one pre set up for those that aren't tech savvy.
They're called consoles, perfect solution if you're not tech savvy and want to play videogames.
Any updates with steam os? Or yuzu? Especially with these new drivers it would be cool to see both.
Thanks for your efforts ☺️
I've been running this model hp 800 g3 mini with 6gen i7, 16gb ram. I did this for my 4 yr old, boot it off usb external hard drive 1tb. He loves this.
Im also using HP 800 6th gen i7 6700T but G2 with 8GB RAM running Batocera off an internal 2TB HDD.
Very capable little machine.
Its my dedicated Batocera retro console. 👍
I got the 2400G version and using it as a mini steam console and media server. I love it. Get's pretty hot tho.
Back in 2020 Lenovo had a sale on the M75Q Gen2 you could get a Ryzen 7 4750GE for $488, for brand new coming with Windows 10 Pro, this was a screaming deal.
3400ge with 16gb of ram for ~$200 (or less with the 2400ge) would make an insane steam machine with the new steamOS -very interested if there was any incompatibilities in trying this out.
Same number of cores and only 100-200mhz improvement. Gpu is also the same Vega 11. Ram is also same speed 2933mhz in ddr4. The 3400ge CPU is about 10% faster than the 2400ge.
I am looking to build an arcade setup in a briefcase so am looking for a cost affective laptop to meet the spec in your video, could you make any recommendations please? Great video keep up the great work.
For those wanting to buy this for a Batocera machine: I've bought the m715q lenovo with the ryzen 2400ge and 16gb ram, and installed Batocera on a 2tb firecuda drive I had. This will play God of War II and Shadow of the Colossus upscaled to 720p at full speed on PSCX2 and they look great. F-zero GX at 1080p at the fire field track is really close to 60fps, but it does have dips at the start (feels like shader caching, mostly). I want to try out a few other games and give it a shot on Wii U and some easier PS3 titles but overall, if you wanna stick to everything up to PS2 running at 1080p and a few harder ones at 720p or native, this is really worth it if you get it for a fair price (mine was CAD$220).
The development of these emulators and Batocera came a long way and hats off to all the devs that have been working on those, outstanding job. And thank you ETA Prime for making this review, I'm very happy with the performance this thing is putting out.
Totally agree.... Fast 16 GB memory also does the trick too
I always see a "Kodi Media Center" option in the Batocera menu in video's but I have yet to experiment with it. Could you do a video about the possibilities of a system like this when you add Kodi to the mix, with handy/popular plugin's installed?
Using Kodi in combination with Batocera's emulation capabilities seems like a really compelling idea to use as an allround HTPC/living room media system. It's already build in, but I have never seen a video that goes puts this usecase to the test.
I love how that same HP Elitedesk
705 G4 is being sell by 10x the real price here on Brazil.
I guess I'll keep with just GBA emulation on my phone 😂
this computer goes very well with batocera 36 also installed the switch and works perfectly. practically all systems are fine except the ps3 that hga of slowdowns all the rest is perfect
Thank you for this comment, I was wondering how well it runs with "Yuzu" games, which ones have you tested that perform well and whats your setup? I'm going to make this exact build to run with Batocera 36. Cheers from another video maker hehe
@@jonathanloaiza Hello, with Yuzu I would say that are very good all nintendo games, the other emulator is not very good indeed I would say that it is just bad ! I still have to rehearse, but Yuzu is perfectly playable.
an important thing is to install 16 gigabytes of ram for the video card radeon vega 11 that with 8 gigabytes is not good !!
What's the difference between this one and the one you reviewed on March 7th of this year? Just RAM amount?
8:30 she loses her top for a split second lmaoooo
😳
18k to go!lesgo!!!!
nice, i have a elitedesk 705 G4 DM which packages the ryzen 5 pro 2400G 65W version. its pretty nice but seems to be underperforming a bit. my guess is the slow 16gigs of 2400mhz ram
Yup, make sure you're running 2 rams in dual channel and use it at 2933mhz (That's the max supported by the CPU), that will make a great difference. I'm running RE3 remake without any issues with 2x8gb 3200mhz (Capped to 2933mhz).
I'm wondering if that motherboard supports newer APU's.
I have this and some Intel NUCs I am having a blast setting up. What is your favorite front end to use with these: Batocera, LaunchBox, Emulation Station or something else?
Honestly even the 10th gen intel 1 liter boxes are a damn good value for light gaming. More power hungry and runs hotter but still perfectly valid for this scenario, if you’re on a budget. You can do better for the money but it will always have more compromises.
Love this PC, I have an older model with the exact same case, i5 and 16gb of ram. I host my servers on it and use it as a backup machine with Linux
Just upgraded mine of the same machine, to 16gb faster memory. Omg. It now flies. Howard's legacy suddenly started precalculating the shadows, and the game now works super, more than 30 FPS with 720p. Amazing... And totally playable. With 8 GB it was only JUST playable ... I think the faster and larger memory has done the trick. Nothing it cannot play!
It is a Ryzen 5 2400ge, if you were wondering. The fan is on all the time during games, but in windows totally silent.
What speed ram did you use?
Thank you so much for the video. Decided to grab a 3200g version of this little power house as an emulation station until I build a full system. Question did you try breath of wild on this machine? How did it do?
It runs but not with a steady frame rate it’s not playable but I think with a cpu upgrade it will fix it
Amazing, I just picked a HP EliteDesk 705 G4 35W Desktop Mini with AMD PRO 9700E R7 3.0Ghz. Do you think it will make a huge difference with a ryzen ? Thank you ! it's powered with an amd radeon r7.
Hi Eta Prime. I wonder your video output ,when your use this pc whit batocera ?
What resolution were you running all these tests at? 4k or 1080p? That's important to know.
Hey, ETA Prime, have you done, or, will you do a tutorial on installing Windows 11 on this Mini PC
If not, could you recommend a tutorial to follow, Thanks
Do you know if you press F1 and application .you can tweak the applications more and in the app tab you open flatpack config and can install linux app and game. Just type steam and proton comunity build, for steam subscribe to the beta and now you can lunch steamUI (steamOS 3.0) and all you game you downloaded will be on the desktop a new tab appear and it will be steam
This will absolutely play FS2020 as well ~30FPS with tweaked settings. Looks awesome too with FSR.
I got this to replace my Shield TV and couldn't be happier.
Rigged mine out overkill with 32GB RAM, 256gb SSD, and 1TB NVME.
I bought the Lenovo version of this today with an i5-7400t hopefully goes alright.
It will, that 7400 is actually really great for emulation
I bought one of these for an Arcade1up gun cabinet mod about two years ago but never used it yet. I have Sindens for a different mod and guns by Arcade Guns that need a sensor bar possibly for this mod with the Elitedesk. I wonder if Lethal Enforcers would run good on it, but what about House of the Dead?
I would have liked to have seen how it runs using lunchbox or Big box. I was trying to find one around the price range that you mentioned but everything that comes up using your link is over $200 some over $300.
Have you tried running Dragonball Z Ultimate Budoten for the 3DS? It’s a fast paced sprite based fighter but I’ve heard it can be hard it run on some machines.
Can you create a step by step instruction setup video how to install all Software and what Drivers for that HP Elitedesk 705 G4 AMD Ryzen 2400ge performance?
@ETA Prime, now with the updates, do you still recommend the Dell Optiplex 3050 over the HP Elitedesk 705 G4 for Emulation?
Hey ETA was wondering is there a way to possibly use a wayfare gamecube adapter with the linux/batocera?
You tested this PC with mainly a Windows setup before, do you remember if that had Windows 11 then or did you test the emulators on Windows 10?
Good experts, a little query, this hp 705 g4 and 8gb of ram, will it be able to move ps3 and switch well? And to make everything go better, on Wiiu and PS2, in batocera or retrobat? Any better machine sff with veega inside or better card inside, in similar price?
Thanks to lot🙏
Not too bad not bad At ALL!
Hi ETA PRIME. I seen your other video about the thing i want to ask here but it look like its quite unpopular emulation solution.
Im thinking of buying mini pc/build pc with Ryzen APU and then use PrimeOS or other Android OS so the pc can work as emulation device and media centre(Netflix,CZcams). My worry is only whether installing those Android can still can take advantage of the APU. Thought? Thanks
great video wish it had hdmi out i see the 705 g4 listed from $90+ is there something to look for or is that model enough?
I have a g3 just picked up my first pc it has display port but i got a 10$ display port to hdmi cable works great on 4k tv
Retrobat in Windows. It supports DX11 as well.
Honestly, been looking for a cheap solution for an old school emulation/media device for couch play. I know the Shield is basically the gold standard, but I have to consider Nvidia's notorious anti-consumerist stance. 1 update could brick every emulator. This is perfect, as I usually emulate anymore recent stuff on my main PC anyway.
I recommend this or something like a Dell Optiplex 3050 Micro for your needs.
How is this compared with the APU found in the Atari VCS recently released in terms of emulation power?
Hi thanks you for all your videos.
So much option!
I want to know what is your advice.
I want a small box plug and play for my tv for all the old console to GameCube.
What is the best one?
Android box, raspberry pi/clone,pc. My budget max 300€ it is possible?
Thanks you.
The Lenovo version of this came with a 135w psu when it first came out and they changed it to a 65w power supply. Have you tried a 135w psu with this by chance or if they have one available?
Thanks for actually showing real "budget PC" vids with such quality. 650 and up is not budget.
I agree. However, the used market does allow for more higher end budget builds. You can get very good (mini) PC's or PC parts used for cheap, while their sealed counterparts from the stores are way more expensive.
Yeah, if you dont mind getting a used item you can get very good performance for your money that way, depending on how high you want to emulate and/or upscale.
I have several PS3, PS4, WiiU, Xbox 360 and even a handful of Xbox One, games. How easy/difficult would it be to turn the games into emulator format for my PC? I have a bluray optical drive.
Also, how do you get the patches for the games in that format?
Well I have that APU lying around so I put it into my Desk Mini x300w with 32GB of RAM. I have a 512GB NVME SSD with Batocera installed, but I am going to add a 2TB NVME (or a 4TB SATA SSD), and turn it to a powerful HTPC with Steam (for old titles) & Firefox (for streaming) via Flatpak. Then add a Rii RK707 (wireless controller with a qwerty keyboard) for a all in one experience.
I got PS3 working on this box not all titles but I have Ultra Street Fight 4, Tekken X Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, Marvel vs Capcom 3
I've been following their prices for a while 150 to 200 usd is still a bit high imo. The lenovos are generally lower priced I've seen the 2200GE and 2400GE for as low as 100 usd. However I think hp is a better option than lenovo though since they don't lock their cpu's like Lenovo does. It at least allows the apu and ram to be reused on any other motherboard if necessary.
I have the full tower g400 model.
I5-6500 and a LP gt 1030 ddr4
Plays everything except for PS3, Xbox (CPU bottleneck it seems)
All PS2 and GameCube games at 1080p-4K, depending on the game.
You can look to upgrade ur cpu to a i7-6700. Gives about a 50% performance boost to the i5-6500. 4 core 8 threads
where do u find the settings (and which ones) do u tweak to upscale PS2 to 4k?
ETA Prime,
This is off topic but I am looking to buy a Steam Deck and update the internal storage to a 1tb NVME SSD myself. Should I buy the 64gb eMMC one or the 256gb NVME SSD one?
I got the G3 i5-6500T / 16GB version of this with a 1TB m.2 installed for quick storage, and it’s an amazing little machine for the money. Although I’m not getting the PS2 performance out of it you are yet, but that could be down to choice of emulator and settings potentially?
That should be running just about all ps2 games just fine, at 1x and plenty should also run 2x upscale.
Defo use pcsx2 stand alone over the Libretro core choice though.
Although some games work run better on the Libretro core.
As for settings just using default should work fine.
If not try turning any enhancements off.
Worth a try.
I have a question. I have the same system as you have hear but mine came with 16gb ram. On GameCube games I’m having rendering issues. I have made some recommended settings and it has improved performance. But I would like to know exactly what settings you have. I have also updated my Radeon drivers once I had windows up and running. Is there a setting in botocera to run OpenGL? I have seen improvements running with Vulcan but GameCube games are somewhat laggy haven’t even tried Dreamcast or PlayStation 1 2 but again would love to know what settings I need to put in to make mine run better.
I do run mine off a usb drive would installing it on a SSD improve performance as I have also thought about doing that? Thanks again and any help I could get would be great as I feel this system is awesome at running these old games. Thanks.
I wonder if these older APU's could work with the holoiso steam os thing? Is that something you could look into??
So I am new to these emulation machines. Do these come preloaded with games from each console? Did I hear you say too that as far as WiFi as long as you have it, there is an app within this machine to be able to download new rims to the machine?
What would be the farthest emulator I would have to go on my laptop? It's a Lenovo thinkpad t440p, CPU is i5 4300m, GPU is Intel HD graphics 4600. If you can do a video about it, or if you already did, let me know, and it also has 8gb ram, and 1tb ssd.
This may have already been asked, what’s the highest m.2 storage amount for this pc. Would 2tb work?
How would this machine compare to a mini pc with 11th gen i7 with Iris XE graphics? Looking to build a mini PC which can play GC/PS2/Dreamcast upscaled at 1080p to look super sharp. Would that combo work, this one with a Ryzen, or do I really need to build something with a discrete GPU to handle really upscaling and sharpening up the image at 1080/60fps? Thanks y'all
Is it possible to increase the TDP of the 2200ge? I had tried the AMD Tuning Utility tool in the latest version. Unfortunately it does not work.
Woaaaaa need to find one
For the love all retro gaming!!! Where can I find Wii U roms!!!!!
Would you reccomend one of these over the Dell optiplex 3050 7500t?
Hi! Do you have a guide on how to set up this box the way you have?
