Acer Aspire One Gaming part 1

[xbox360kidd55]

i have the acer aspire one d257 could i game on that with these games ?, and also how did u get all these games from steam or did u buy them?

[TheJOHNWEST123]

i have the same netbook and gta4 just wont launch no matter jow much i reinstall and try to fix, everything in sociaql club works just the game wont launch, would you know what to do? or did you have any problems?

[elvisesau]

silly question.. but this doesnt have a dist tray rite???

how do i install a game from a disc?? :/

i really want to buy this it rocks!

[16ats]

No overheating?

[Warxyph]

@16ats its small and has lots of air vents never heats up

[SoftwareReviews132]

That's actually surprisingly good how good it is playing that! My DELL XPS has the ATI Radeon Mobility 9700, and plays Minecraft maxed out averaging 60-80 FPS. I wonder how it will run some of these newer games.. Like GTA IV or MW3..

[Adrianecr]

good to know, the only difference between yours and mine, is that mine has 1.5 ram so i think it should run nice.

[AznKidEthan]

I have a Aspire 1 Atom N455 With (1.66,5.12KB cache) 1GBDDR3 Memory

[AznKidEthan]

Will mcAcafe slow down your computer? please reply

[raikidu]

@Idelporte : I have an acer aspire one (atom processor N450:1.66GHz, 1GB memory) ; can i run call of duty & please give me the link of download;

[123KevinDude]

Hey dude how did u get the cool graphics?

[xxl3th4lg4m3rxx]

so ive seen tons of games being played on this aspire one even crysis so im guessing the new acer aspire one d257 will playthe same games if not better right? because i want the new one but i also want it to be able to playgames like these and i was just making sure.

[GTASAGamer22]

14 FRAMES IS ACTUALLY NOT LAGGY ITS ALMOST LIKE 30 FPS

[zona032]

Can i play this games on my netbook-Acer Aspire onde D257..?

[RsGod18]

The trick to run gta good is to do the cheat: ghosttown

the amount of cars were the lagg for me, now i can play gta san andreas fine

[teddzertell123]

mine is to slow for minecraft?

[teddzertell123]

mine is to skow for minecraft?

[ldelporte]

@gAvZ018

No, that's from running a program called Fraps. It displays your framerate in any game. I used it to show what kind of framerate you can expect to get with these games on a netbook like this one.

[gAvZ018]

..dude,there's a frameskip in the t0pleft.....is that an emulator?

[4oxtrot0mega4oxtrot]

@gAvZ018 called FRAPS.

[gAvZ018]

@4oxtrot0mega4oxtrot ..well,i have aspire one 751.....it is 1.3GHz 0.99Gb RAM...can i run a game in it??i can't see any reviews of games using that model..... :(

[4oxtrot0mega4oxtrot]

@gAvZ018 sadly you cant run any game with it. If you do manage to run one it will lag very bad

i suggest you to buy a cheap laptop with Core2Duo or i3 or just save up and build your own desktop

[Conking48]

You quite obviously have upgraded ram, I have an aspire one that can hardly play maplestory and you expect me to believe you can play GTA 4 well I call BS

[C00l3rUs3r]

I can certainly tell a stiff

[misodumbo]

How did U do it? I have Aspire one 753 with 1.2 GHz CPU, but my comp. is cannot play games...(GTA SA, NFS Shift, Worms,...)

Why is it so slowly?

[brianarydata]

Will the XBOX 360 wired controller work with this game? Thanks...

[superbrianevo9]

I have gta iv eflc on my acer ive just put the files on my usb and i put the files in my laptop then i can play

[m200mw]

[TelleezyBlogTV206]

[aabsicruz]

[Cutepupps125]

[TheWoWslap]

[kianjheff06]

Intel Atom N455(1.66GHz, 512kb cache)

1 GB DDR3 memory

250 HDD

cuz i've downloaded NFS carbon.. and it lags. always hanging

[jarvlopes]

@kianjheff06 try mz game accelerator

[LedZeppelin4ACDC]

How did you get this game without a CD drive? I mean how do you run it? Did you mount an ISO with Daemon Tools everytime?

[gregolol777]

@LedZeppelin4ACDC some ppl are not illegal there is steam! :D

[LedZeppelin4ACDC]

@gregolol777 Yeah i forgot about steam when I posted that.

[MrMagakhan]

Hey did you overclock your netbook,, cuz I have an Acer Aspire One 532h,, do you think, GTA SA and FEAR combat can be played on it WITHOUT overclocking or modification?

[liamere2011]

how much money mate

[liamere2011]

how do u put the disk in

[NurHidayat96]

well.. you have made this video using which software?? i cant create video with typing letters one.. please help me!!!

another one, im using windows 7 starter SP1 with processor: Intel Atom CPU N450 @1.66GHz and RAM: 1GB, its a 32-bit OS, graphic: Intel Graphics Media Acceleration 3150 with memory 250MB, direct3D acceleration is enabled, so can i play the games in my natsys netbook?? thanks..

[MrChallengeLobbys]

but how do you get the good quality

[ldelporte]

@MrChallengeLobbys I really didn't do anything special. All I did with any of these games is lower the settings using the game's own options menu. No special tweaking involved beyond that whatsoever.

[jsnmxy1]

@MrChallengeLobbys TORRENTS!!!



[BarackMcBush]

@MrChallengeLobbys but how do you write the good English

[GshockXx]

hi, i have the win 7 model and i have 1.5 ghz, would thesse games play at the same quality?

[ldelporte]

@GshockXx Not sure. I recommend seeing if you can find some demos for the games you're interested in.

[DivineDrummer777]

lovin the BF2 music, just reloaded it on my comp yesterday :)

[MsMrSushi]

i have one of these and i have both sa and vc installed i wonder y does vc lag a bit and sa runs perfectly??!!

[basbas63]

quake 3 or unreal tournament are awesome on netbooks, unreal tournament runs at 25fps+ never dips below... at everything low and medium textures

[MrChallengeLobbys]

how did u do this wen it does not has a disk insert case?

[ldelporte]

@MrChallengeLobbys Some games don't require disks. For example, games that you buy on Steam. For the games that did require a CD, I just installed them by sharing the DVD drive from my other computer.

[mastermega8]

dude, which graphic card do aspire one have? I have one of these, but I want to know which card it has and how much capacity it has

[ldelporte]

@mastermega8 It's a basic intel graphics chip. Nothing special.

[vezzanator]

@ldelporte my acer aspire one 521 with 1.2ghz processor runs games better than this

[ldelporte]

@FunSpoilerTalha

Windows XP

[ldelporte]

@aJeeQue

I don't have this netbook anymore, but I probably made an ISO file of my game disc and used a DVD drive emulator to trick the netbook into thinking it had a DVD drive with the game disc in it.

[ldelporte]

@FunSpoilerTalha

I'm using Windows XP in this video.

[aJeeQue]

how did u get gta san andreas with radio sound? if buy the cd of gta san andreas and install it, of course its works with radio sound, speech sound. but, netbook dosen't have cdrom. how? mine just download at internet. mine dosen't have sound. please reply!

[halflife103]

@aJeeQue Transfer from USB or external hardrive.

[ldelporte]

@ViperakaChater

Oh, and yes... You should have no problem playing DoD or CS. If you're playing the Source versions, you'll likely need to turn your settings down to medium to keep it playable.

[ldelporte]

@ViperakaChater

You're laptop is mostly decent, but it will struggle with 3D gaming if that "integrated graphics" is an intel graphics chip. It doesn't even matter which one. All intel graphics are weak. Sure, you'll be able to at least play the games featured in this video. But don't expect to turn the settings up on anything recent. Some games won't even be playable no matter what you do. Try some demos out. There's a Half-Life 2 Demo and a Crysis demo. Check those out. Crysis may not work at

[ldelporte]

@jam96jam

In the settings switch your color quality from 32-bit to 16-bit. That was the difference make for me. Of course, all other settings should also be at their lowest possible values. It still won't be spectacular, but mostly playable.

[jam96jam]

how do u play san andreas with no freeze, i've got emachines lol yes, and 1 ram, 250 gb, intel antom n450, please help

[ViperakaChater]

Hey there was just wondering what games you guys would recommend for my acer asprie 4820t 4GB DDR 3 intel core i3 2.27ghz and intergrated graphics, i dont have a clue about computers or which games to get. I love strat games like football manager and used to play DoD and CS would these work using steam???? Any help would be great cheers

[wam226]

@ViperakaChater looks like you have a beast system, except for the graphics card, you can prob play games that are a year old, or new ones on medium settings. google the system requirements for the game you want.

[komixpinoy]

I have the same exact laptop but my GTA San Andreas Crashes to my desktop after passing the intro..help..

[yungballer92]

how to you make you acer aspire one run so good mine lags on games alot

[matrixITALIA]

thanks m8 , i got the netbook and it works quite well :) and some games runs very well :P thanks for ur advices :)

[1minimee]

i cant play online games widout it freezin up n stuff n plus itz windows 7 starter i needa upgrade

[halflife103]

@1minimee GET RID OF STARTER! upgrade! i did and i love it. Try going into setting and changing the Power Settings to Performance. mine went from 2.0 to 2.3 not bad but its pretty good considering.

[sandwich1817]

woah, it actually runs pretty well xD

[matrixITALIA]

HI,is this neetbook good for running program like VISUAL STUDIO 2010 or easyphp ? thanks in advance!

[zaheeer1]

@matrixITALIA

It is Okay with it. I have worked with Netbeans 6.9.1 and visual studio 2008 works pretty well and now i have installed VS2010 it is working but a bit slow sometime especially when compiling for the first time.

If u dont bother about ultra fast machine this is will work for u.

[nuzulaqmal]

how did you play it in fast!!

[ace2000i]

can my aspire one run all this games? my model is AOD255 with intel atom n550(1.5GHz 1MB L2 cache dual core)2gb DDR3 of RAM,320GB of HDD and windows 7 starter.

[ldelporte]

@RedTiger54

I think it would do well enough with WoW. That game isn't overly demanding. Which is part of why they are so successful. I'm sure that you could at least reduce the settings and have it run fine if it seems to be a little slow at first.

[RedTiger54]

will it be able to run games like wow without lag ?

[halflife103]

@RedTiger54 my friend played wow on it, it only lagged in Dalaran

[ldelporte]

@RedTiger54

No, your laptop would not be able to handle Crysis or MW2 well enough or at all. Unfortunately you have an Intel graphics chip on your laptop, and those are terrible with 3D gaming. You could probably handle games like Half-Life, Counter-Strike, and Team Fortress 2 with some graphic settings reduced. But you probably can't do more than a game that without very slow performance.

[RedTiger54]

Will my acer aspire 5742 run mw2 or crysis

[TheToader]

How will the newer Acer D255 with Dual Atom work with these games?

[TheAppStoreDude]

where'd you get allthese games for netbook?

[ZlutyPanter]

Btw. all games with minimum settings right?

[ZlutyPanter]

Thx for vid, it seems that Freedom Fighters only are playable :-(

[2ant1ago24]

:O coooool

[VoidCarnage]

When I start COD the typical error "codsp.exe has encountered a problem and must close." Do you know how to fix it? :P

[LoadingWorks]

did you use moded drivers? please reply

[BuXTYP]

Hello idelporte! I have Samsung N150 netbook. Windows 7 starter, 1 gb RAM, GMA 3150 video. When I play GTA SA on lowest settings, its very laggy. Why?

[aureliocertified]

Nice vid dude. n270 or n450??

[Lillajohan123]

Those games u can just throw in the wall is those GTA San Andreas,

GTA Vice City, GTA III... I can play all of those on my pc that have an 5.60 GHz CPU no grafics card but the processor is an pentinum 4 and that one is 3D completeble i have 504 RAM / ROM (DDR memory) Don't as me where the other 8 ram did go cuz i dono. I think i can do Call of Duty 1 on it but not shure if i need grafics card for it...

[frankvdg]

@Lillajohan123 what the hell

[oneangrybride]

is this the aspire one a150 ?

[coruptmonk]

Nice fake.

[ldelporte]

@coruptmonk

Um. Nope. It's real my friend.

[Kirbystar100]

@ldelporte yeah dude it's real, got my aspire one this week and play San Andreas alot. I just went through my terabyte's games folder and surprisingly this ran. Other good ones are Serious Sam, Warsow and Dawn of War: Dark Crusade Necrons - all run on high. I'm in love with this computer.

[sternsteve96]

could i play gta sa on a dual core netbook with 2gb ram and a ati Radeon X1270 Graphics

[LigthFlash]

@sternsteve96 stop that shit. If it has dual core and radeon X graphics and over 1 gb ram it can play all thoose old(er) games.

[andrsonnasseer]

what call of duty this one . and can i play modern warfare 2 on my acer aspire one netbook

[ldelporte]

@andrsonnasseer

This is the original Call of Duty (part 1). You can forget about getting Modern Warfare 2 to run on a netbook like this. If it even lets you attempt it, you'd be getting like 2 frames per second.

[FreeMMOGameReviews]

@ldelporte haha more like -15 fps XD

[sd9800]

u need to put mortal kombat 4 on there lol

[ldelporte]

@HarryHyper

I didn't have windows 7 when I had this netbook. It was running Windows XP. You might try right clicking the game and go to the properties and tell it to run in "compatibility mode for Windows XP"

[Xxx0zkrxxX]

for gta Sa, i think los santos makes it lag, and when you are in las venturas the fps increase

[benjpe88]

If you want gaming on an Acer Aspire netbook, try the 521 or 721

[NeverSCARED94]

hi do you think i can play Battle Realms on a notebook like this ?

[SummerGameProject]

TO EVERYONE WITH A ACER ASPIRE ONE:

Did you know the graphics chip is severly UNDERCLOCKED? Yes, that means it is intentionally underpowered. I found out about this today, download GMA Booster - it boosts your Graphics clock to 400mhz, allowing for more performance. 5 day trial, and you can donate to recieve a free for life serial. Just a tip for the people who want to game on the acer!

[lacacaesgrande]

dude thanks for the gta sa tip, uve saved me

[ldelporte]

@lacacaesgrande

You're welcome. It's an often overlooked setting that apparently can help yield those extra FPS. Generally 4-7 frames per second isn't that much, but when we're talking about 10 FPS vs 17 FPS, it takes the game from unplayable to playable.

[HarryHyper]

@ldelporte hey. I want to run gta 3/vc on MY netbook (Toshiba NB255 intel atom GMA 1350 1.66 ghz 1gig RAM win 7 starter), but evrytime i start the game, i get this message "Cannot find 640x480 video mode." how did u get yours to work?? please halp!!

[ldelporte]

@HarryHyper

I was using Windows XP. Maybe if you try running your game in Windows XP compatibility mode. Try that.

[FantasyaFinale88]

whats ur OS?

[ldelporte]

@FantasyaFinale88

Windows XP Home 32 bit on that netbook.

[JackStonexp]

Hi, Idelporte, could you plz share your graphic configuration as well as the other ortions? I've tried to play some games as GTV san andreas in my aspire one but I still get a lower framerate than you... I've even tried to lower my system options to "better performance" (with no effects and that stuff) and played a bit with my graphic card configuration, such as anisotropic filter, etc...

Thanks a lot

[ldelporte]

@JackStonexp

All I did to make GTA San Andreas run this well was lower all the settings to their lowest values. The one setting (often overlooked) that I found makes the most noticeable performance improvement was lowering the color quality from 32-bit to 16-bit color.

[JackStonexp]

@ldelporte OIC, thanks, because I'm looking fordward playing other games that run slowly like san andreas, but, if you can run san andreas like that, any other supported game could run as good as that.

[ldelporte]

@ 4ourTimber

Not too good at identifying a joke, I see. Trust me, I was quite aware that there was no graphical load at that moment. I was just having fun with the video.

[Guitarmaniac4321]

@ldelporte Would San Andreas lag a lot with the SA'MP multiplayer mod???

[ldelporte]

@Guitarmaniac4321

I think I've heard that it does. I don't have this netbook anymore, so I can't test it. Sorry.

[Guitarmaniac4321]

@ldelporte Well I just bought one of these on ebay for about 180 (really good deal for what they are worth!) and once I install GTA San Andreas ( which really shouldn't take long), I'll get the mod and tell you how it is :)

[4ourTimber]

0:35 = FAIL

Theres no graphic load on the screen

[TheWunderwaffle]

can you play halo 2 on it?

[xxgrumpyxx1]

Im looking at a Acer 10.1 aspire netbook.

1GB memory and 160GB hard drive.

Would it be good for playing WoW?

[ldelporte]

@konni1969

External CD drive, sharing a cd drive over my home network, and in some cases I was playing a game purchased via Steam (which requires no cd drive).

[Konni1969]

Cool, but how did you install the games. Netbooks usually don't have CD/DVD drives?

[Tmaczilla74]

@Konni1969 there is a program called steam install it a check it out

[MrXbox221]

my netbook is a 1.2ghz athlon with a ati x1270 and 1 gig or ram.

[GuitarMeastro]

On last chaos (MMORPG) i just get a black screen, is there any settings on the aspire one that i can change pre-game to deal with the graphics?

[SuperKoplik]

i heard vice city runs much smoother than san andreas for some reason

[ChampionRevilo]

Nobody belives me when I tell them that my Aspire 1 can run such games XD

[treataneat]

how do you play them games

[J03amazing]

if i go to "the pirate bay" how would i know its for acer aspire one???

[J03amazing]

dude can you show all of us the links where you got all this games. we want to play them too.

[Freedomness19]

@J03amazing buy them? or go to thepiratebay and type in what game you want and download them and install them

[yeah3652]

wow im lucky to get 30fps on n64 games on my mac...FML lol. getting an acer aspire one this sunday though. I might post a vid response on how well emulators work on it.

[DeltaAirlines12]

Thanks for making this video, it's helped me a lot. =D

[ugguyan3131]

did you downloaded call of duty?if not can you give me the link?

[JMS06723]

is this cpu a intel atom processor N270 if so what kind of games can you run on it

[chavaguilasleo]

pasa el link del call of duty...please..!!

[MrBbeeaat]

how you do it

[xy274]

atleast thats better than gaming on an iphone or itouch

[UltimateitemHacker]

wicked video man, I think I will get one after watching this :) Say, how well does GTA San Andreas run all the time? Do you ever get frame rate issues? and are you running this on XP? Also, did you install the games using an external DVD drive? Thanks

[betekvs]

I hear that if you upgrade the Netbook to 2gigs it will perform alot better

[03puts]

OMG

[maawi95]

hey dude can you play gta iv on your acer aspire one

[ldelporte]

Nope.

[daand12]

@maawi95 you are Very Stupid. No GTAIV IS NOT PLAYABLE on Intel graphics cards etc.

[DeltaAirlines12]

@maawi95 Doubt it will power it on his PC.

[AwwC00L]

@maawi95 hell no

[esackalack]

I have a Nintendo 64 Emulator (Project 64) installed on my Acer Netbook. It runs fine with no lagg or problems. These are pretty good gaming computers but some games I am not able to play because of the low resolution they have. I also play Halo: Combat Evolved and it runs like a champ.

[jacoblivesay]

yah but for those people out there that have E machines netbook's there screwed because emachines sucks i have a Macbook air and it will play most games perfectly  if you are wondering i am running bootcamp thats how i play games

[LeeHarume955]

how?!?! i have one and all my games run at like 14 fps?!!??!

[MTLbigJ]

san andreas ran like shit on mine

[takashima7]

netbook not for gaming , when u play too much , ur hard disc well spoile , it pop a death blue screen u cant even repair it

[ldelporte]

You clearly have no clue what you are talking about. A netbook will be fine with gaming. A game doesn't put any extreme strain on a hard drive. Maybe the CPU or the graphics card, but not the hard drive.

[RandomFilms111]

@ldelporte yeah but you have to have some ram and netbooks dont have alot



[halflife103]

@ldelporte how do you change from 32-bit to 16-bit? my computer keeps it at 800x600 32?

[gdog124934gta3]

dude... u rock howd u get that to work on it????

[ldelporte]

I did nothing special. I simply installed the games and played them with the settings as low as they needed to be in order for the game to run smoothly.

[fjcc32]

@ldelporte i love thoose games i hav a hp mini 1000 and i own gta 3 warcraft 3 plants vs zombies and nintendo 64 emulator and anyone of these never LAGS!! that so great because those games are vicious :D

[000CODE000]

@ldelporte well if u cal 15 fps smoth then i have nothing to coment smood is ower 125 fps

[avishaiozeri1]

Will this game work on the LG x130 ?

[UltimateitemHacker]

try getting GMABooster. It overclocks the GMA graphics card. Works a treat on my mac mini :)

[vanjastanic]

Tell me about it... I am buying Aspire One and i want better graphics... I think that overclocking is best tool.

[Arxilla]

how are you running these games without lag? i play 3d games like s4 league, perfect world and rohan, but they all lag really bad, even when the settings are turned down, D:

[ldelporte]

I don't do anything special. I just installed them, turn the settings down and they ran. Keep in mind, 15fps is not great speed. Any worse and the game starts creeping into "unplayable" territory. Also, online games may experience a decrease in performance just because it's an online game. There's also the fact that some games are just better optimized for performance than others. Your games may just not run as well on the weaker netbook hardware.

[ldelporte]

I think I had the same problem a while back. I don't think it's a problem with the netbook, but with the game itself. I wish I could remember how I fixed it, but I read some places that exiting to the menu and going back to the game can help. If that doesn't work, try right clicking on the shortcut and running it in Win 98 compatibility mode.

[ldelporte]

Turn your color quality down to 16-bit instead of 32-bit. That was the difference-maker for me. Of course, everything else also needs to be turned down to their lowest settings.

[natedawg7414]

how is your frame rate so high?!?!?!

[hsmboy2]

the pc rules!!

[ZAM26113]

PLEASE ANSWER

so you had to download all these games??????? if u did where from?????????

PLEASE ANSWER

[ldelporte]

I did not "download all these games". The only ones I downloaded are the ones I purchased from Steam. The rest were installed from CDs. I used the DVD drive from my other computer over my home network to install. You can also use an external USB DVD drive. I think with netbooks, the best solution is digital distribution sellers such as Steam or Direct 2 Drive.

[ldelporte]

What do you mean "be convinced?"

I didn't make the video to convince anyone of anything. I just made it to share with people how some games worked on that netbook. Some work better than others. This is just a demonstration to answer questions for those who may wonder if a netbook can run any games well enough for their standards. Personally, I would be satisfied with 15 fps while some may not. The video let's people see and decide for themselves.

3/5 gta games....

dont you think it's a bit false???

most run around 15 framerate

we need to see more games to be convinced
