| | FUTRO S740 | [[https://www.fujitsu.com/au/products/computing/pc/thin-clients/futro-s740/|Support page.]] | v35 | FIXME | Its bootloader only supports EFI, and by default will not offer utilities to update this info. Temporarily boot into another Linux-based OS with ''efibootmgr'' available (such as Ubuntu) and [[https://www.techspark.de/boot-batocera-from-hdd/|configure it using the command]]: ''%%efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sda -p 1 -L "Batocera" -l '\EFI\BOOT\bootx64.efi'%%'' (where ''sda'' is the drive Batocera is installed to). This may change in the future. | | | FUTRO S740 | [[https://www.fujitsu.com/au/products/computing/pc/thin-clients/futro-s740/|Support page.]] | v35 | FIXME | Its bootloader only supports EFI, and by default will not offer utilities to update this info.

| | FUTRO S720 | [[https://www.fujitsu.com/global/products/computing/pc/thin-clients/FUTRO-S720/|Support page.]] | v37 | FIXME | Runs best out of the box with Batocera 37. It's dedicated (and changeable) 8GB m.SATA is just enough to boot from. The Thin Client supports a SATA-port underneath the cooling system. The 5V power line can be used from the pins for USB support, so it's possible to put a storage media like HDD/SDD into this unit. Upgrade of WiFi/BT is possible through internal mPCI port. Build in DVI/DP with audio out option makes this small system a perfect candidate into retro-gaming systems up to the late 1990s. It's successor the S720 is much smaller in design, more powerfull but in todays costs much overestimated. The S720 costs less then 20 USD, whereas the S740 is (10.2023) in between 80-120 USD!!) | | | FUTRO S720 | [[https://www.fujitsu.com/id/products/computing/pc/thin-clients/FUTRO-S720/|Support page.]] | v41 | LowPerformance, emulates early 2000 titles | Runs best out of the box with Batocera 36/37/41. It's dedicated (and changeable) 8GB m.SATA is just enough to boot from and should be upgraded to at least 16GB. The Thin Client supports a SATA-port underneath the cooling system. The 5V power line can be used from the pins for USB support, so it's possible to put a storage media like HDD/SDD into this unit. Upgrade of WiFi/BT is possible through internal mPCI port.

It emulates all 16bit systems very well, N64 emulation is compareable to Pi4, offers full support of WINE and works well with titles like ''Age of Empires'', ''Heroes of Might and Magic'' and a lot of puzzle games. DOOM3 through DHEW3 runs fluent. No KODI support! No H.264 and H.265 support! | |
