It feels like we are on the never ending quest to find the perfect drive. We seem to get so close one day and it escapes us the next. Thanks for continuing the search!
Hi, i just bought this and have a qustion. Should i update the emulators when i get asked, or would that change any pre settings made by the ''seller''?
I just ordered the 5tb, looking forward to it. Have you ran into issues with it since you've had it? I Ordered a good mini PC that I don't plan on going online with incase of malware lol I'm still skeptical
💰 💰💰Hey Doug, which specific budget computer option would suggest for this hard drive? Is there a cheap mini pc or must i have something else with a graphic card to play everything? Price and smallest form factor is my goal, thanks. 💻💻💻
There is no real universal "best option" since everyone's needs vary from person to person, along with everyone's budgets. For the most versatility in performance would wan't something that has a dedicated graphics card ideally. But if you are wanting something compact, then this mini pc: amzn.to/3Oit2Jc would be a good option and will play most of the medium tiered systems on these drives I've reviewed.
Is there a way to fix games that don't fully load? I tried playing arcade version of Punch Out, the profile pictures of both boxers showed up and the health meter at the bottom of the screen and that was it. The game was running because my health bar began to drop and if I press the button, the announcer would announce that I threw a left or right, but they're was nothing on screen. Is there a fix for games like this?
@@cooltoy With the emulator hard drives that you've checked out for your channel, has your antivirus/malware programs ever come back with anything wrong?
Great video. I’m interested in getting one of these for my PC. Question, is it safe to plug these in? Part of me is worried that there could be a virus or something in it.
I scan anything that gets plugged into my PC with software for viruses and malware before I ever use anything and have never had an issue, I recommend others do the same.
Any chance you could do a video about which one of these plug n play hard drives is the best? There are certainly alot of them and it gets confusing to figure out which one is best.
hard to dictate and judge what "the best" is, every viewer is likely to value things differently. Things like price, amount of games, amount of newer vs older games and emulators will all vary from person to person. So without knowing what you personally lean towards, it would be very difficult for me to judge what would be best.
@cooltoy Exactly what you said. I have seen a few of these and some leave out Amiga. My preference is to have access to every Amiga release available and the Demo's from back in the day. There were some unique music Demo's with visual graphics of dancers etc. Just my preference but I will always want Amiga included in its entirety. Don't get me wrong it's great to have these newer Emulators but I absolutely loved the Amiga.
Hi, please do you know if there is also some similar HD for android tablet? I would like to upload such a comprehensive collection to my android tablet with the same UI.
@@frankc8689 LaunchBox will pretty much do every system. You can go in to LB and then set up the system in RetoBat if you want all of your systems to show up in one front end.
cool..... but how are these things legal they go all the way up to ps4 / switch era. You would think Sony and Nintendo would be throwing lawyers at them like ninja stars
They are legal to buy and use in most countries but illegal to sell. Sony and Nintendo could go after the seller if they wanted to, but clearly they aren’t interested

absolutely, that's why I keep trying these things. One of these days there will be a perfect combination that gets made
Good one Doug, thank you fella! 👍🙏
you are very welcome!
I bought mine today thanks to your review and the lower price!! Thanks dude! BTW nice Blockbuster shirt; where did you get it from?
I believe I got the shirt at Target a few years ago
Hi, i just bought this and have a qustion. Should i update the emulators when i get asked, or would that change any pre settings made by the ''seller''?
It is true to say that the Mix Lite 4TB has more recent post 2000s console games and less 90s/80s ?
Thank you for the video.
You're welcome
It’s good I have the 5TB version lovely hard drive
I just ordered the 5tb, looking forward to it. Have you ran into issues with it since you've had it? I Ordered a good mini PC that I don't plan on going online with incase of malware lol I'm still skeptical

cooltoy do you think this can run on a steam deck ? with windows on sd card? thx for all the videos.
I would highly doubt it, I believe this company makes something entirely separate that is meant to run on the steam deck

I'd love to give these a try, but what about possible viruses/stuff that might be hidden on them?
It’s always prudent to scan anything new you connect to a computer with some sort of virus and malware program first.

Have you tried to upload other ROMs to the hard drive? I like the catalog it has but I would probably add a few more into it the PS2 side.
yep, just drag and drop the game files into the appropriate folder and you're good to go
Is this one better then the 5tb one?
I have this HD and it works on my Laptop but not my HP Elitedesk 800 G3 with the same specs! Any reason why?
Maybe you don't have direct X or some of the microsoft redistributable files installed on your HP
did u disabled the protection from the bios of the hp elite desk?...you should try to set it as first drive to boot.

Nope
Nice Video ! Sub & Big Like ! And love retro games !
Thanks for the sub!
@@cooltoy Thank you for your reply ! If you are interested in the nostalgic game culture of Japan, please subscribe to the my channel !
Nice almost perfect
So close!
Is there any I could get with games like Saints row?
Do these have savestates. That's probably a stupid question but that's a dealbreaker
Yes, almost all the emulators have built in save states
Is there an arcade emulator or just home consoles?
There are arcade emulators and games on this as well
Does it work for laptops or is it just for desktops computers?
Laptops work too
Hey just got one an a minni pc with 32 ram.installed an having problem running it graphics an play bad .can you help
what is your graphic card?
For me I wouldn't want any of the PS3 and PS4 games and some of the Wii 3rd party titles. I wish you could customise these before ordering.
Can you make a video with everything in launch box? Or is that not possible…?
I’m not sure exactly what you are asking me to show, could you be more specific?
I mean, would it be possible to make everything run through launchbox? And if so could you show us less tech savvy people how…
@@frankc8689 LaunchBox will pretty much do every system. You can go in to LB and then set up the system in RetoBat if you want all of your systems to show up in one front end.
I bought the 4 TB version and there was literally 5MB of space available on the drive. I couldn’t update anything because of that.
@@matt8264 sounds like you need to delete some of the more undesirable games and free up some space for yourself
@@cooltoy Yes - I am moving Retrobat to my local drive and will then delete.
Can this one run at ROG ally?
Did you ever find out as I ordered one for this 😂
❤❤
Can we play on tv? 🤔
If you are connecting your tv to a pc first sure

@@cooltoy Yeah whack a mole I guess, just shocked they are so widely available on the Zon
i don't believe these systems and why are there new games on there ? like Elden ring etc ..this is has illegal as they come
No one cares about the legality if it’s being sold on amazon it’s probably not an issue
Good one Doug, thank you fella! 👍🙏
