You get what you pay for and as this device is at the cheaper (entry level) end of the market you can’t expect anything more than finding a few games you know/like that work. Not a problem if you’re over a certain age and nostalgic for 8 and 16 bit games A bit more of a problem once you move on to the more demanding consoles/systems. Consider buying this if money is tight, you are or know an old gamer or you spend a lot of time in hotel rooms with limited tv channels.
How do I get this to come on when I put the batteries in the remote control lights up with red and blue red and blue red and blue keep blinking off and on I’ve tried to move my control. This is nothing moves on the TV. I took the USB cord plugged it into a block and then to up, see games my TV connect. My controllers is just supposed to be. If this just a broken stick or is there something else I need to do in order for the controller to sync to the TV?
Ok. I wanted to watch this because where I am stuck is How do you power it on?? I have attached the HDMI and I have plugged in the unit, but is is not being recognized on my tv…
Hi. I need some help with these game sticks. I'm after one specific game. Battle City back in the day there was various types of them. I don't mind paying money. I liked NES games. Any idea where I can get good product? Thanks
Problem is when it get juice from the usb 5v it will turn on. I think you can use it in a switch because... a switch just switch.. between channels. That where a lot of switch words in a comment... and nope we not talking about that Nintendo thing...😆
It's a good console, thousands of games for £10 is well worth it. Iv noticed that everyone seems to get different games on their sticks though, and on mine at least, almost everything has the wrong, often wildly mistranslated title. My menus are completely different too. The controllers aren't made well, one of mine doesn't fit the batteries, and the other just about does, but they stick out a bit so you can fit the back of the controller back on. The PS1 games don't save at all, and the Gameboy games do save, but the stick seems to wipe the saves sometimes? Still well worth the money
I got that game stick lite before and I had to send it back the button cinfig was not right for the PS1 and I couldn't change it. I wouldn't recommend it.
Yea I'm sure these gamesticks are going to be the future of others to come for emulation...but since this one is cheap your not going to get many emulators with like the super console x I would prefer over this one
of course. It is cheaper. Advantage to it is you don't have to have a separate power adapter to plug in. You can just use the usb port on your tv. . Instead of super console x, if you have the patience, you can make your own for much cheaper, using an android tv box that has the same SOC as the super console x. Install emuelec on it and put the games
Easy, you can buy controllers on the market that come with USB just plug in the USB and use those controllers the same way you plug the USB and use the controllers that come with the package
@alishakouri7795 What about 4 players though? If I buy 2 extra controllers, and there's only one USB port to plug them into, will they all connect at once? There are so many good 4 player games on the stick I got (40,000+ games) and I'd love to play some of them with more players.
I bought Nostalgiastick, tried plugging into all my HDMI ports annnnnd NOTHING! Any advice? The instruction pamphlet does not advise on how to set up. Does the stick require charging? I'm either lost or was taken. Trying to use on a smart tv. Any advice welcome.
I was trying to put "River Raid" to the memory card but unfortunately console doesn't see it. ROM's extension is .bin type. When I took a look what is inside "Atari" folder I saw different extensions .A26 and A78. Any idea how to install few more atari games?
I put batteries in both controllers I received. Have USB dongle plugged into TV USB port. Have game console plugged into HDMI port. Game begin screen comes on, but my Controller(s) are not working? Am I doing something wrong? Why can't I select anything?
Love your content. Bought it and hooked it up and the games pulled up. The problem is the controller just flashes red and green. Bed ridden after a back surgery. Any info would be beneficial. By the way, I put in new Energizer batteries and Duracell. Any help would be appreciated.
Not initially with the cheap batteries they sent. Put in Energizer batteries . My component yellow wire came broke. So now I just unplug my fire stick or Roku and use their power cord thats already has a HDMI plugged in . Easier than moving your entertainment center. Should you have component wires and a newer TV you can buy a component to HDMI converter. Only like $4 on temu. Good luck.
Hey! I need some guidence. I bought this stick with 4 controlers. But the 2 extra controlers came with a separate USB reciever( and the game stick has only one USB port). Anyone knows how to set up the controlers for 4 players ? also, are yours PS1 games a bit slow ?
How do you use this on a laptop? I tried HDMI to laptop , then the USB to the laptop, even went and connected one cable to one laptop and the other to a different laptop, nothing pops up like it does when you plug it into the tv. I was hoping it was a straight shot. Here’s a challenge for you if you haven’t figured out a way to do this with connecting to laptop .
Hey, sorry dumb question. With these classic game emulators,do you have to download your own emulators online to play? Or does it already come with library with option to download more ? Thankyou !
seeing these on eBay for as low as 16 bucks. the listings have the same product images with different titles and prices. wonder if it matters which one I get.
Play silver, get lugia, witness the TRUE Aero blast attack on screen. More in line with the beam seen in Pokemon 2000 that ripped through zapdos island AND the fortress.
How is it powered? Since they have that card I guess you could download your own roms too, no? And do you connect the controllers via the usb dongle? Does it work for 2 player with just 1 dongle? Thank you, I hope you can see this and answer
What's the CPU in it? Would it possible to install Emuelec or something or add/remove emulators? Would be nice to add Master System, C64 and Amiga and get rid of Atari 2600.
does anyone know how to connect controllers? Somehow my two controllers have lost connection to the game stick and know they don't connect. Whould be happy for your help!
Make sure the USB dongle is installed on the stick. Turn on the stick, and then the controllers. The controllers should be detected after about a minute. There is one flashing LED that continues to flash on detected controllers.
