In this video, we take aloe at the emulation performance of a cheap $130 Chromebook.
This is the Lenovo Chromebook 3 and it cost me $130, It’s powered by an Intel N4020 Dual-core Cpu and backed by 4GB or LPDD4 and I’m surprised by how well it handles emulation from SNES to N64, PSP, Dreamcast, and even Gamecube with easy to run games! Now when it comes to gaming and emulation on a Chromebook we have to rely bravely on Android apps because after all most all new Chromebooks support Android and come pro loaded with the Google Play store.
WE test out Retroarch for N64, Redream for Dreamcast PPSPP for PSP, and Dolphin for Gamecube and Wii.

If you have and use a Chromebook what games and emulators are you using?
Thank you for the video I needed to know before I go and buy one
Hey ETA, did mouse and keyboard controls ever come out for chromebooks?
Just bought a decent one for a friend… damn thing is so fggn stubborn and won't even let me try… even in dev mode! 6itched model I guess!
Can you help me out. Everytime I use dolphin emulator it lags so bad.
How do I add this game I want to play on dolphin?
Quick question, where do you get your roms from ? i tryed to download on mine but didnt want to work!
this is making me confused i thought it would lag like at snes????
Yes, son. THIS is what you need for Google Classroom
Thought the Lenovo chrome iwas looking for was 1st gen . Then this sadness says 3 .. haaahha . I'd be a rich fn hitnmnn ..
what if i want to play a ps3 game
wow with android apps? no side load needed?!
Jackbox and RetroArch are pretty much all I need for gaming on a Chromebook. I don't have much time to game, but it is nice to kick back with some retro games once in a while.
I have this exact one but its samsung that’s literally the only difference when it comes to specs
How do you set up the emulators? That is what I’m having trouble with.
I see the Samsung chromebook 4 on sale at walmart for black Friday I think I might end up getting that for emulation and I need to get something that picks up 5ghz wifi
Where can I get RetroArch and how do I use it or just play games on it?
It's exactly like my new computer. I would add that PCSX2 doesn't work well enough, having tested Onimusha and Yakuza.
Regardless, I've filled it up with games for the PS1 (on RetroArch, not Epsxe), N64, NDS, SNES, GBA, PSP, Dreamcast, Saturn, and DOS of course. It may not be a gaming PC, but it makes me happy regardless.
>Wind Waker is one of the easier Gamecube games to run.
>Drops to like 12fps whenever I pan the camera around to show anything farther than 10 feet away.
Thank you. Now i have an idea for my chromebook 🙂
Could you use OBS to stream to twitch and still have the same quality gameplay?
Would my samsung chromebook xe350xba run these these emulators fine as well?
How to setup?
how do you use opengl i would like to play windwaker on my chromebook
chromebooks are literally just all of the cons of using a laptop, and he cons of using an android tablet combined. The only good thing about them is that that have a keyboard. Not even a good one, just a keyboard.
Fun fact: you could use a GameCube adapter and connect it to a Chrome OS AKA Chromebook and play games that way. As long as you have GameCube controllers in an adapter and a freaking mindset of someone who has use Dolphin Emulator for a long time, you'll figure it out.
Steps on how to do it
Step 1: connect a gamecube adaptar (+controller) to your chrome OS computer.
Step 2: go to settings and click Gamecube input
Step 3: click gamecube controller 1 and press emulated
Step 4: click each individual selection of inputs then match it on the controller
If done correctly it should work perfectly as if you were on a gamecube console.
Thank you for posting this video, I just got a Chromebook and was curious about emulators.
What do you use for roms? Can't find anything that works with retro arch 😡
is it possible to do multiplayer?
But can it run paper Mario and the thousand year door???
It able play gamecube fully. On samsung note 9. Zelda twilight princess game cube lags during twilight zone
These are making the pi4 look really expensive
What settings are you using with dolphin to play Zelda?? Please…
kids these days love to complain about chromebooks but they don't realize how much they can do with them. So much more than we could on low end pcs in the 90s/2000s
better than i thought
can you connect a bluetooth game controller to chromebook?
I can’t find it online 🙁
Wow N4020 is really flying on chrome os 😐
I have a AMD A4-9120C RADEON R4, 5 COMPUTE CORES 2C+3G Chromebook (yes, I copied and pasted that straight from the chrome:/system tab). I need to run Express Scribe and FTR Player (both Windows software) on my chromebook. Will an emulator work, and which one?
Sincerely
Severe Non Techie Who Has Exams but Is Stuck With a Chromebook That Ain' Working Out for Me
i love chromebooks
Has anyone tried it with an HP Chromebook
where do u go to get freee wrorking roms?
i have the same one!
Maybe Chromebooks aren't that bad. They probably won't be able to run Wii or PS2 games, but it should do the job for GameCube and PS1.
what if redream isn't in your play store? what alts can you use?
I'm trying to run Wind Waker with Dolphin on a Lenovo Ideapad 3. I am running into severe latency issues when I load the game. Did you have to adjust the settings within Dolphin to make it run smoother?
Would you be able to tell me how long the battery lasts when playing a game?
How did you manage to get Dolphin Emulator because my chromebook says it isn't supported.
