I have three of these as well. Mine have an i7 though and Batocera runs great, all the way up to PS2. My son uses one as his Minecraft machine, they are great little boxes.
@@all2funnycomments724 I still remember my very first High capacity Compact Flash Card. 512MB just so I could install Windows 98 stripped down on a Compaq iPAQ Internet Appliance from MSN. I paid damn near $250 for that thing! All so my sister could have the slowest browsing experience in the world. I still have that card today, and funny thing? It still works!
Hey man i just subscribe i like these videos at 4:17 where you say installing Batocera(i Guess a emulator) for the linux distro is recommend PopOS its it very light weight and customizable i have installed custom firmware on a chromebook before PopOS workd fine with it with a processor of Intel® Celeron® N4120 and with 4GB Emmc Ram i really hope you read this comment and take my words for a consideration Thank you
I actually have tried out POP OS before. I did a video about 5 months ago and installed it on an old Optiplex. I’ll try that out on one of the Chromeboxes. Thank you.
5:39 yeah, good idea getting the larger RAM modules, but save the 2x 4GB sticks for the one that you're going to put a desktop build on. Actually maybe you'd want 2x 8GB sticks for modern distros. You'll probably be fine with just the 4GB for Batocera. EmulationStation and one emulator at a time isn't that memory intensive.
I bought one of these YEARS ago. this year, I plugged it in, and found out it has XBMC on it, or its new name (forgot what it is now) Now what's weird is mine says it has an i7 in it? Weird. I have to check that out later.

Dang. Id love to find a free or a few free chromeboxes like you. Ive always wanted to convert one into a emulation station/Batocera system

Can i have one lol 😂
Thats looks like a fun little emulation box! 👍
2gb of ram is insane
I know. It’s so little.
the insane part is that I remember a time when your comment would have worked the other way.
I remember when the max ram you could get in a desktop was 512mb.

I had the CN60. It was upgraded to 16GB. I wish I had kept it. 😑
