Can my pi5 8gig version run ps2 games smoothly?

The Pi4 overclocked to the max and using a cooler plus cooling case could run pretty much all PS2 games at least at 720p. Not sure how that translates to the 5 since I don’t know if the emulator has been optimized for it. You’d be much better off with a mini Ryzen PC. I have a Beelink SER5 and can r

Which would you choose between these two?

I have the K8 Plus. The 6800H is a completely different processor from 2022. The 8845HS is newer with more powerful 780M integrated graphics from 2024. The Beelink SER5 MAX has soldered memory and no USB4. The K8 Plus has OCuLink and other features. The K8 Plus is more powerful and more future proof

Which is the better buy for 24/7 home server?

Definitely do not go for Aoostar or lesser quality brands. If your main worry is 24/7 reliability, I’d stop thinking in terms of “which one box is perfect?” and start thinking in terms of nodes in a cluster. The Beelink SER5 Max gives you a stronger iGPU and more RAM out of the box (6800H + 32 GB DD

Anyone else switching to a mini PC and feeling kind of… surprised?

After owning desktops and towers, I finally started buying Lenovo thinkcenter mini PCs. I now have a Beelink SER6 Pro with a 32GB ram and a 1TB hard drive. I’ve been using this for a at least a couple of years, so this last fall I updated all the computers at our office to BeeLink SER5. Very very pl

Beelink SER5 a good buy?

I just purchased a Beelink SER5 MAX Mini PC, AMD Ryzen 7 6800U and I am returning it. I started it, got it working and now it's constantly hanging/rebooting. Hopefully yours with a different processor is a bit better. Supposedly this is a known issue and yet Beelink happily sends these units out.

I just have wf on the lowest settings and get around 120fps, bought it on Amazon. it's a Beelink SER5. wf is a very optimized game so I wouldn't expect it to run much more. I got like 10fps trying to load modded mc.i am however able to play witchit which for some reason eats resources and play heavi

Tech help

the ram market is fuuuucked but for like 500 bucks you can get a decent mini pc, checkout the beelink SER5 max (7735hs, 24gb ram). I have a laptop with the same chip and beam runs at medium with a couple traffic cars pretty well. The iGPU is very good, mostly bottlenecked by the bandwidth of the ram

There are way too many options available, even searching this sub its hard to figure out which I should get for budget PS2 Emulation.

Any mini with RDNA2 Radeon RX 680M integrated graphics + 32GB of memory is a solid starting point for BatoceraOS classic console emulation and/or a BazziteOS Steam Deck console. The recently released/oddly named Beelink SER5 MAX (SER6-LP) 6800U has been popular locally for such projects.
