There is no comparision to the raspberry Pi 3 because like I wrote before: it is to slow to run Doom (DOS x86) comfortably. Or am I missing something? I am not a Pi 3 user because I prefer x86 and more Speed. My inspection on the video seems to be Chocolate Doom which runs well on the Pi (native …

....it would not be like straight to the point to put Windows on the device since it uses ARM architecture. This means it uses an emulator to translate DOS x86 instructions to ARM. There is no comparision to the raspberry Pi 3 because like I wrote before: it is to slow to run Doom (DOS x86) …

It won't. Well I have an update for all you people. I got an email from the good people at Unit-e games that. They said they are going to have a GUI that loads the preconigured games on it. And they also said they are investigating whether a command prompt with direct access to the disk is feasible …

For me the appeal of these mini systems is not only the games you can play and the convenience of hdmi but its also the look of the system. The NES classic SNES classic and the PlayStation classic so far appear to be the only mini systems that actually look like the original system. This PC looks …

Also I doubt it's Q2DOS that is involved - there are easily reachable native linux ports of Quake2 on the Raspbian repositories. A native linux port != "run windows 95 3d games" No optimism for the marketing and plans for the viral snake oil here. I'm not impressed. The fame claim seems to be just …

The poor sound quality is a bit off-putting. With the HDMI. I meant the sound quality of the video itself, not of the gameplay. I bet the main GPU on this will have 3D acceleration. Looks like it from the Quake II footage. Again that is to be the prototype. So that might change. It would be pretty …

Their prototype is so dang UGLY. They could've done better on that-- and the pushbutton power switch isn't really period-correct. It needs a rocker switch or something. I do like the HDMI and composite video output (with the stereo sound). The poor sound quality is a bit off-putting. (And that baja …

Sounds good, but not great, wonderful, excellent, or awesome, but, not bad. I use my older hardware for old DOS and Windows games, or DOSBox to test out the games I bought from GOG.com or Steam to see how it performs and which bugs the games might have, such as not supporting more than 32MB RAM. …

Or is it based on something in the likes of Intel Atom, AMD Brazos or Vortex86? Something Vortex86 based would actually be very interesting, especially if it were capable of being reclocked via BIOS or utility. Yeah but I don't know if it will have the ability to load Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. ( …

It’s hopefully going to be better than any other PC emulator out there. I seriously doubt it. Most probably this is already some Pi using emulation/dosbox. I have nothing to support my statement, neither have I researched it properly, but its size tells me not to expect any real h/w. Also, entirely …

Is it just me, or does this sound kinda dumb :lol: These "Classic Mini" devices they put out try to appeal to nostalgia, and come in a form that, at least somewhat, resembles the original experience. So given that, what's the point of this one? If it wants to resemble the original experience, it …

Hey Everyone! Did you not hear about what I heard online today? There is going to be a PC Classic mini! That's right. Classic PC gaming has entered the mini retro console market. It's not a joke. It's legit. And it's made by a company called Unit-E. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sjbrqR36w4 It's …
