For $99 it gives a taste of mini pc fun but I think people would be better served sourcing a $149 N100
judging by the awful sound in a lot of these games, I'm amazed anyone would recommend this POS.
I have contemplated ordering this $99 bmax for 9 months but never did. Cant wait to see the performance
It was in my cart like a year and I finally tried it haha glad I did
I have kinhank 12 tb retro system with windows 11 what joystick controller do you recommend? From Amazon?
@@TheWay-up777 you might need more than 1 - a joystick, game controller, even steering wheel... that's what i have

Good PC for retro gaming at a great price. Hulkamania was running wild in your background brother! Awesome review.
right now at this moment what is your suggestion for a fully ready plug and play retro gaming pc and/or stick? i have multiple items in my cart right now from your videos to the point that I have no idea which to purchase
Same. Theres so many that are so similar.
For that price, it's worth getting JUST to have something better than those Pandora's boxes and super console x android consoles. Don't know why PS1 was scratchy sounding but hey, it's worth the $100
I cool just hooking it up to my tv and playing all my movies. I heve a 4tb external and whould be happy to use it to play myovies for my dad and i and turn on the home theater on it. I love nes snew PlayStation one and n64. So i guess this would be odea then for me. But eould you agree
Even Donkey Kong Country seems not running smooth with constant 60 fps.
What do i need for the perfect DKC experience?
Not bad for retrogaming on a budget but i would avoid using it for PS2 and Gamecube. Thanks for sharing
Agreed it works but it's not going to be your smoothest best option for those higher end console collections.
I've got a BMAX Power and I love it for emulation and a surprisingly large amount of newer low-end stuff
when you say new lower end stuff what are some games you are referring to?
Does youtube videos run well?
Great video
$99? I'd be surprised if it can play Minesweeper at that price.
I was surprised it can play a whole lot actually
Bought the GRS sticks and looking to build a 2 player Guerrilla War, Ikari set up in a A1U donor cab. What would you recommend for that? Pretty new to custom builds and emulation but have learned a ton from your channel.
Hmm,you know your music intro sounds very similar to that old MTV intro.😊
Good Job Bro, loved it!👍
I don't think mini PCs like that are really designed for games...for starters, it's fanless and games will generate heat and heat will degrade the machine's life span in time (with no fan).
I bought one because I want to use it as a testing virtual host server only.
I'm hoping as a server, it will perform well given how it can handle some light weight games.
Hello to you as well retro gaming guy
If you could boot from the m.2 slot it would make a good little Linux box.
The sound was horrible with most of the emulation. Hard pass.
that's what I was thinking too. this is far from acceptable
How well will it play with light gun games like House Of The Dead or CarnEvil ?
hello, I wanted to ask if you can use RUclips and google browsers and stuff with it. Or is it just for games?
It works like a normal pc too
kool, hi, hello etc, I've looked everywhere n I can't find what size of sata ssd my bmax 2s uses, whats the most I can install, can u help with this info????? have a good one
Unfortunately, there is no cooling on this mini PC. I bought it solely for playing old games from the 2000s. After 5 minutes of playing Unreal Tournament 2004, it starts throttling, and the game becomes choppy. When I shut down the game and check the CPU temperature, it is almost 80 degrees Celsius. So yes, it's not a good PC for playing even 20 year old games. Too bad, because otherwise it would fit my needs just fine.
I ordered a small usb fan to tape on top of mine to pull cooling air through it.
Can I get a mini PC that can function as a PC but also be a retro gaming emulator?.. like I flip a switch and I can use it as a computer. Flip it again and I can use it as the gaming console? Is that possible?
Thanks. I got this mini PC and it certainly performs very nicely compared to its very modest price. However, I wanted to upgrade it and I purchased an M.2 MVNE 512GB storage, and it isn't recognized by it at all. Any idea why? how to fix it? how to find some resources on troubleshooting this? Tx!
It requires an NGFF SATA not NVME.
All is not lost though. An external NVME -> USB3.0 case is only a few coins and is faster than the onboard eMMC and M.2 SATA. You can boot from USB too, so install Batocera perhaps?
@@VintageSG Thanks. I purchased both, the MVNE didn't work (and is now an external USB3 SSD in a case) - and the M2 SATA works very nice as an internal extension. Moved all major storage off the eMMC to the SSD and it performs even better.
Just got one for 50$ gonna use it for RUclips movies music and the one piece tcg simulator
Do you think this would do well playing PSP games?
Thank you!
So all the sound is messed up but you didnt mention it, you skim through with no real analysis and expect me to shell out 100 quid based on sweet FA?
How did you get the games
Can I use it with the old laptop. Can I install and use the MS office on it?
There is a office version on it
Any Mini PC that plays Xbox 360 good?
does it have windows 11?
I just bought a Beelink Series 5 Max (Ryzen 7 5800H, Radeon RX 8 GPU). Hope its not overkill. Was looking at cheaper but didnt feel cheaper models would have adequate performance. I want to go up to PS1 and DOS (Blood, DN3D, Shadow Warrior)
I was tempted to get the same beelink model as you but opted to go for a dell micro pc. 9th gen i5 for less than 1/2 the price. Performance is pretty good with batocera. What you have is overkill for just Ps1 and dos.
@@joeking-fw2wb
That sound great! Does it work well?
@@BogusBolloks-mf4wq yeah it's pretty good. GameCube emulation via batocera is very good but not in windows. PS3 is playable but the odd graphical glitch and stutter but even the most powerful pcs would have same problem. Early stages still with the emulator.
@@joeking-fw2wb
Sounds awesome, emulation can only get better and Im glad your mini pc works well. Mine is still in its box. When i get some time Ill start tinkering with it. I have not even turned it on yet.
I am also not sure which front end I want to use, there are so many.
@@BogusBolloks-mf4wq Yeah. You should at least test it's ok.
I get that. There are a few different front ends. Might even be good to just have individual emulators... Try duck station for Ps1.
CPU/GPU too weak for Gamecube/PS2. Save a bit more and get a ryzen cpu powered mini pc. Much more bang for the buck...
Is there a game list
Not bad!
If it wasnt for the audio Id get this, bummer.
how do you get the emulations?
Off the internet 🛜 😮 🤫
@@ericlongtvnet1113 is there one you recommend? i am mainly looking for PS2 and dreamcast games
Is it my phine or does sound seem off?
😂 you mentioned it. I jumped the gun 😂
Haha all good - certain titles and emulators yes
can u play fortnite on this?
yes it runs 143 fps
weak performance
Good for the specs and price but yeah if compared to a high end mini pc it's terrible in comparison
yeh no game sound is bad it's a pass.
