When your router is more powerful than your retro handhelds.
but you still get 999 ping 💀
Uh oh, now you gotta make a router handheld 👀
ROCKCHIP 3588 literally rocks.
And probably cheaper too lol
Same, but instead it's better than my phone that struggles with emulating with N64..😅
It is just natural to go from Nintendo Switch to Nintendo Router
We’ve come a long way from Nintendo Hubs.
This hurts
This comment should be doing better than my 401k. Go straight to the top sir.
👏 👏
Are we eventually gonna get to Nintendo Bridge?
Calling that a simple wireless screen is a massive understatement
like bro knows how to build an emulator out of a router but doesn't know what a tablet is?
@@realbigl What? It is just a wireless display.
I love how Taki showcases games the other channels never show. Radiata Stories, Arc Rise Fantasia, etc. Love it!
Yeah the man has some good taste
@@staysharp2453 freal 🔥
Hell ya
DEEP CUTS
4 Real tho!
A friggin router emulates games better than my FX 6300 desktop
Man😂😂😂
I remember the FX struggle.
😅 umm yeah, I know exactly how you feel!
I think you and me are the only ones left still using the fx6300 lmao
I upgraded my GPU to an RX 580 and the bottleneck is real!
I say "FU" to the FX...
The FX struggle is still a thing? You’d think the UN human rights council would step in at that point and indict AMD.
I love the format of these videos. They're so easy to follow along with and skip around.
This is pretty interesting. The OrangePi 5 also has an RK3588S in it for around this price, though it doesn’t come with a 32GB eMMC module
That’s amazing lol now I’m tempted to try and get emulation running on my Zima board. didn’t think there would ever be any crossover between retro emulation and homelabbing
This is the one RK3588S to be a potentially direct competition to the Orange Pi 5 in terms of price/performance. The option of using an M.2 drive makes it particularly attractive. They did go for the non standard 5v/4a for power, instead of 12v, which would have been even better. What did you use to change the CPU and GPU frequencies?
I swore that was a Switch lol. Pretty cool what you did.
I thought, cool I can buy a Android tablet that works and looks great with Switch controllers. Then I saw the price and then nope, sorry.
i was going to make a portable handheld console with the khadas edge 2 but because it was expensive i was going to start saving money but when i saw this video i changed my mind about the khadas edge 2 now i don't have to save money to get a powerful sbc now i know other sbcs that are Powerful like the khadas edge 2 but they are not currently availible for my country well at least the ones i know but this is more than enough power for me and your content is amazing i always watch your videos first about devices and watch other peoples videos after
The wireless screen actually looks super neat if you're trying to say, set up a DIY smart home setup.
Might have to cop it! Thanks Taki!
Love when you drop these types of videos 😊 Great project
He didn't drop it. He left it on his computer and then uploaded it. I guess if he had it on a usb drive then he could have dropped it.
NICE! Might grab a HDMI to component converter and use this as an all in one retro box for my crt
I'm surprised how well this runs on a Rockchip, I didn't think very highly of these in the past. But that's pretty awesome!
That is wild. I'd definitely like to have something like this.
I had to check the date to make sure this wasn't posted on April 1st, Crazy what technology can do now
3:24 i cant believe this is a freaking ps1 game... Also the ps2, gamecube, psp are basically perfect wtff
My main issue with these emulations running on a big screen is all the pre rendered graphics and assets, but when I see this, i get really hyped.
Its like there isnt any pre rendered graphics at all when you have a proper display. Its amazing that 2x resolution seems to be enough for a crystal clear image.
PS1 upscales *beautifully* - Ridge Racer Type 4 looks immaculate
Excellent work. Well done. 😁👍
Oh this is very tempting. If there was image of Android TV available, it would outperform almost everything on the market. You can swing it by using ATV or Console Launcher as they allow you to force apps into TV mode. I can getting this being a great gift for someone who wants to get into emulation. The only downside I can think of is that it probably wouldn't be able to stream video full HD in some apps like Netflix.
From my understanding there is a version of android tv available for it
You deserve like TakiUdon you are hope Emulation Hardware
The above is a R6C not an R6S. But the difference between the models is a second 2.5 Gigabit ethernet port (same performance). I want one as a router TBH (currently using an HP T520 with an extra Gigabit ethernet USB dongle). And yes, there is broadband greater than 1 Gigabit in my area, I don't have it, but potential for upgrades!
I use the R6S as a router. It's very useful for tunneling network traffic over a shadowsocks server for devices that I have to test that cannot run VPN applications.
for the next years I won't consider any raspberry style device cheap if it's over 50€😅
Unfortunately they want $70 just to ship this to Australia. Otherwise I would have grabbed one.
Great video regardless... I am wondering how this would run as a Kodi box... Extremely well I suspect 👍🏻 and emulation looks fantastic.
I also am looking for something like this for Australia.
just wanna check it myself of how much it cost to ship to indonesia but well said, it cost $70 to australia so it would cost about the same to indonesia. i would pass then.
@@mcbchannel7173 yeah roughly the same.
Damn. Goes to show you can use any PC as a router, or virtual router like I'm the enterprise world
taki showing up all these companies out there
I'm so interested in how things like this work. I also miss gaming at night.
You got a great taste in games bro
I really need one of these im always so bored and love all the older systems sadly i cant even afford the router not to mention i am still lost even with this amazing video
I may have missed this, but do you have a video discussing how you used the joycons with your setup?
This is pretty much the all-in-one tiny retro console I've been hoping for. Does it have bluetooth? Getting one of these and a new micro SD to get this set up going for myself might have to be my birth present to me.
Very cool. Just imagine if Ninten’do would just give us a way to play their stuff on other hardware, and all the stuff they hate would be unnecessary.
Not necessarily but it would definitely help and it’s not like they wouldn’t be making more money
Wait that's also just a pretty cool homelabbing device... I'm interested
brings a new meaning to 'gaming router'
Cool, even if I can't afford anything in your video I still watch your videos
I can give you this one. I have two :D
@@TakiUdon *ahem
Did you said... free stuff?
This vid could have been a April fool's without meaning to be a April fools
@@TakiUdon il take it if he don't
@@TakiUdon will you really? Hmm? Will you? 😂
Hey taki udon another great SBC that works great with android is the raspberry pi 4. I use mine with android 13 custom built by konstakang. It works great with official touchscreen for raspberry pi. Emulation works great on and I tested from SNES to GameCube. I haven't tested ps2 yet and GameCube is a little choppy. I get decent speeds by over clocking the CPU and GPU. The CPU is set to 2.0 GHz and the GPU is set to 750. I use it everyday to play games and watch videos. I use active cooling with heat sinks for maximum performance and it never over heats at all. Overall the raspberry pi is another great gaming SBC next to the asrock and other SBCs.
That is a mighty SoC, should I say. I hope that mainline Linux support will catch up, though, as I want to have NixOS on this thing. In general, that can be expected from Rockchip.
Bought one. Going to make this a dedicated PS2 Retro Console/Kodi Media Center.
Very nice, man! Are there any input lag? It annoys the hell out of me, I was never able to get acceptable input from these boxes.
the fact it comes with m.2 slot is crazy
Just a question, can I connect this to a regular TV with HDMI + PS4 joypad (bluetooth) somehow, instead of the unaffordable wireless screen (game device)?
Thanks bro I'm bout to snatch one of those! 😂
this is neat and all but the input lag is INSANE, with the TP clip at 7:47, there's 8 frames of input lag from when you push the right stick and the camera moving (TP runs at 30FPS, so this is more than 0.25s of input lag). I don't know if it was from the joycons or the wireless display (it probably is from the wireless display) but that's nutty.
It's the joycon adapter
Haha if this was released on April 1st I would have written it off as an April fools video. Insane that this is real 😂
Hi Taki,
Can you tell us a little more about the wireless screen you are using?
It's a wireless "game console" from PeakDo. They had an IGG campaign for this a few months back and this is what the final product ended up as. I just use it for devices that don't have screens.
Thank you! It is quite impressive that Android on that little SBC will run the Peakdo wireless HDMI like that.
5:11 Ape Escape 3 spotted we are winning.
Was just about to ask about Xenoblade when I saw how beautiful it ran!
Do you recommend putting a M.2 storage or a M.2 wifi/bluetooth module instead? I want M.2 storage but I worry about overheating. Thoughts?
Cool video, though what did you mean at the start about not using Linux because of no Wii Emulation and Switch? Both Yuzu and Dolphin both exist (I know as they are part of the EmuDeck collection of software for the Steam Deck). I personally used Yuzu and CEMU and it worked fine (though for CEMU I used the windows build via proton).
But if Wii U works, I am sure that normal Wii should be possible too
100% was about to say this exact same thing .
Wii and GameCube I have running on Linux beautifully 😉🙏
It's incredibly odd to say Linux cant use Dolphin or Yuzu/Ryujinx...
He said the *performance* of those two emulators under Linux wasn't as good on this device as on Android. He didn't say they wouldn't work at all.
I struggled to hit 30 FPS in Ryujinx with a GTX 1650 and Ryzen 3 3200G, and that plucky little pi SoC gets better performance on switch emulation!
I can’t even be mad, that is absolutely incredible optimization!
I might have to see about picking up one of these. Looks like it could serve as a decent firewall, then I would need to pick up two, but it could also be useful to run a home media server, so that’s three…
go for yuzu then, way better optimization
It not really Switch "Emulation". The Soc is the same fundamental Architect as a Switch
@@pikamaster001 that makes a lot of sense
playing ps2 on a device that awefully looks like switch, that is freaking cool!
I WANT THIS IN A RETRO HANDHELD, STAT.
I very much want to do this and just have it be a NES/SNES/N64/GC console. What would it take to get bluetooth into something like this? I mean I guess a bluetooth usb dongle would be the easiest way?
Very impressive.
The PlashSpeed4 comic came true :D
Wow its like the Mercury Marauder of Routers
Part of me really wants to shove one of these in a DMG gameboy shell kinda like the Piboy, I don’t have the experience or tools to attempt this but if anyone reads this and can do that, please do lol
I was thinking the same thing.
But quite frankly, Frankie - I don't have the skills to build it myself either.
I was wondering how to you enable touchscreen function for NanoPi R6C? I plan to flash the eMMC on mine to android 12 tablet version.
How did set up the screen? What other (more affordable options) for the screen would work here?
There are budget 5.5" screens on the market that you could attach Switch rails to, but they don't support wireless steaming. You'd have to tether the board to the screen with HDMI.
Ps3 & ps4 emulation is a dream that will take time, I have the original ps3 because the black ops servers are still up, plays better then on a ps3 emulator, mind you I have a asus rtx2080ti my gpu isn’t the problem I also have a titanium 1000w power supply so it’s not about power either the emulator is just new & the reason why I emulate this game or even play on the ps3 is because the console version has split screen pc doesn’t, I also recently learned I can use these old consoles & new ones as a pc & I’m fully intending of doing so once I swap out all the hard drives of these devices & put a sdd with more storage im going to make a dual boot rig for each one so I can still use original console software & use it as a pc, I’ve also jailbroken the Nintendo switch at best it can play some game cube games but not many, it can play most n64 & wii games & below anything from that basically is playable ps1 simulation is also playable too some games might be laggy, for the Nintendo switch I use it to link my pc screen to the switch because the switch has a nvdia processor although you’ll need fast af wifi at least 1 Gig of constant flow & really good ping if not you’re out of luck with that option, overall don’t find a single use for the Nintendo switch other then emulation for old games on it, I also have a jailbroken psvita which I can screen share with the ps3 but a bit weird to set up Ik the ps4 is better in screen sharing with the psvita so I’ve only used it on that, I have the original Xbox but need to buy some controllers & a hard drive mod to expand the storage to install all the games & also mod it to play online, there’s a service that runs the game servers if you mod the Xbox I also need to buy ps2 controllers for my ps2 I have the cables it boots up & is visual so is the original Xbox i also need to mod the ps2 & expand its storage to also install all the games on it, I do have all the original copy’s of old games but not the consoles I’m cuban so when I was little boy I would always give it to somebody in cuba because they have nothing over there I would only do so whenever I had the newest console, I used to own a bunch of game boys from the advanced to the little square one & the long upward ones that accept bigger cartridges supposedly but you can still put them in, in any because they all fit in the same slot it would just stick out more the only thing I have left of part of that connection is a original game boy silver not used in years just occasionally turning it on & off I also have the original psp but I need to buy a battery & sd card to download all the games & jailbreak, I also have a wii (black) I need a 32gb sd card for that one to also jailbreak & download games on all I need to do for my collection is to find two good game cubes, fix the ps4 after the hdmi repair I did on it I accidentally took two diodes off of the mother near the hdmi port where you see the pins from the back of the hdmi that has to be soldered it doesn’t turn on now but Ik it’s a simple fix after that I need to jailbreak it, put a better storage on it & turn it into a pc/console overall been having fun tinkering with all this stuff
You also don’t have to only use this “router” as just a emulator you can partition the storage & use it for both another thing you can get any pc to emulate & also become a router meaning you can make a little custom computer & use it as a dedicated router with pfsense or the other brand
the input delay seems really bad for some of the games, is it noticable?
All Ambernic needs to do is use this board as a base for their Retro Handhelds and we can play PS2 on the go for cheap. But of course they won't do that. :)
Not the board, the SOC.
If they would use this soc they would charge an arm and a leg for the system and still use in line triggers just to annoy you.
Might be dropping this and turn my emulation box into my kodi box and my kodi box to my backup repo which is what my emultlation box is also doing lol
I am definitely going to try this or pay someone to do it. Going to have to figure it out
Router after meeting with retro handhelds, I was the worthy one
aethers x2 is it better performance more than pcxs2? as i checking in your video you can render x4 with 60fps
My biggest question is how did you pair 2 joycons as one input device?
It automatically works as one
Worth pointing out that you could buy a steam deck for the price of all of this setup combined?
Just finished playing that first boss fight in crisiscore on my phone lol
I preffer my old Dell E6430 with linux manjaro. I can run everything up to Nintendo Gamecube. All tested Gamecube games work on full FPS. What i tested. Old i5, Intel HD 4000.
I’d love to pay $150 for a fully loaded ps2 handheld of this. Built more like the vita with the dual analog.
This is more powerful than most slartphones 😮
Some upcoming changes to AetherSX2? Didn't the dev suspend work on it?
Seems like a lot of work to get the same functionality as an $120 tablet. You quoted the board at $80, but the wireless screen(prices vary), the case ($15), the time taken to put it all together and diagnose seems like a headache when you can spent the same amount and have 90% of the leg work done for you. A tablet like Samsung Galaxy S5e can be had for $115 used, $170 max. The Adreno 615 seems more than capable. Maybe the driver/software side is better in your setup? I dunno.
I don't know where he's getting that price anyway Amazon don't have any at under 150.. nearly double thrvquoyed price
I am not sure if I understand what did you do. Did you installed an android 12 rom on the router? So you connected it to a Wi-Fi touchable screen, right? And how this controller you held does work? It seem to be an switch controller...
wtf you mean wireless screen?? i feel like an old man wtf how does that even work that's amazing!!
After watching your calculator meme vid, I don't know which of your videos are legit and worth watching anymore.
This all looks so cool but I can’t understand nothing about it and want to eventually learn
8:43 you mean "Sonic and the Black Knight" not "The Black Knight"? Also, that's not a bad price for an emulation system! I can't believe you can do it with a router!
correct
I was SERIOUSLY tempted by this until I saw the shipping time to the UK was OVER 2 months. Great video though.
I'm in NI and mine arrived only a couple weeks after ordering, mainland UK should be speedy
Wait, how did you get 2 joycons to work together on Android? And is that a special display with joycon rails?
Can you post the link to the video where you made the wireless screen? Is it a switch mod?
do you need the expensive screen for this to work? all the gaming is handled on the router right?
Batocera is linux based and seems to have a version for nanopi boards and has gamecube emulation. Would that be an option on this?
Great question ☝🏻
It would, but the performance is a little lower than Android right now.
That is for real insane value for $85. Too bad shipping to Scandinavia is $144
I want to buy this "router", but my track record for tinkering with Single Board Computers isn't the best (mainly because I quickly lose interest in them and eventually misplace them).
does the metal case provide enough cooling when using it as a console?
Yes
My boyfriend's girlfriend's pregnancy test can emulate breath of the wild.
Can it run demanding games like Gran Turismo 4 and 3 well on it?
If you don't already have a Steam Boy this is a great way to play nintendo games since nintendo doesn't want to supply a way to play games i or you have already purchased
So your telling me, that a ROUTER is faster than my entire setup.
I am curious why there are still no informations about 3588 handhelds.
Bigger companies that can get one out the door fast are enjoying higher profit margins on weaker chips that are cheaper to obtain. The RK3588/S SoC is pricey.
That games better than my 2015 laptop
Once it's set up, does the board support TV output and controllers via the USB/USB-C ports?
Lols, never mind - just rewatched the start and saw the HDMI port 😅
I'm sorry to tell you but aethetSX2 dropped development months ago and since the Dev was actively gloating about anticrack while he was developing it, I don't think it's going to be revived.
Watch the price double by the end of the week!
I didn't know that there were switch emulators for Android
All I needed to see was FFX2 emulation to be convinced
Sorry idk if u mentioned it, but what’s the total cost of this setup? Router+screen+controller.
Amazing video!
That would be super expensive. The router is $85, the joycons come from my OLED Switch (not sure of the price), and the wireless screen was ~$300 (it came with a different set of controllers).
@@TakiUdon around $435-450 is not too bad tbh, expected more. Thanks!
Wow that cud be a brand new PS4 (which Sony still makes).. Taki if i only want to use my TV which it already has wifi mirroring.. can this router perform it ???
@@TakiUdon Would it be possible to just plug the router into a TV and use that as the display and use a wired PS4 controller?
@@RadicalSquidward No problem. It has a HDMI port to connect to your TV and PS4 (and even PS3) controllers work out of the box with Android.
ARM is rapidly catching up to X64.
