Sliver X Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I finally replaced my aged Core i3 2120 HTPC with something more modern. I went with a Sega theme for it. The boot screen (The moon Oberon orbiting Uranus in a scene like the US Sega CD BIOS) The mITX case it resides in. Here's a Youtube video of my GameEx setup running on it. I didn't bother recording sound since I figured it would just immediately get hit with a copyright claim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 That's an impressive setup you've got there, as is the ease of which you navigate the GameEx menus Love the case! What system specs are you running? Great video, thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sliver X Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 Case: Silverstone ML07 CPU: Intel Core i3 9100F (overclocked to 4GHz base) MB: ASRock H310M-ITX/ac motherboard GPU: eVGA GeForce GTX 1650 Super RAM: 16GB Corsair DDR4-2400 PSU: Silverstone 350W Bronze (SFX form-factor) NVME: 256GB Silicon Power SATA SSD: 1TB Sandisk HDD: 4TB WD Blue 7200RPM (64MB cache) Optical: TEAC DVD+RW slim (Slotload) NET: Intel Gb NIC, Intel 802.11ac WiFi/Bluetooth 4.2 Input: 4x Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Display: 42" 1080p non-HDR TV @ 60Hz via HDMI OS: Windows 10 LTSC 2019 GameEx 16.43 42 emulated platforms, >130 Windows/DOS Games Management: Kodi as file manager/SFTP login to machine The OS has been stripped down severely using a utility called NTLite, removing over 150 components. The total install size is 4.75GB (7GB without NTFS compressing the drive) with barely anything running in the background. I made the theme from a looping video file I found online and making a PNG overlay (The control legend at the bottom, etc) that I then encoded over it with ffmpeg. I've been using GameEx since 2009, I think, across 5 different media PC designs I've done. I've built setups with things like Kodi, MaLa, Wah!Cade, etc, but I keep coming back to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
