Pat the NES Punk lol took John 10 hours of installing before it crashed lol thats terrible for something in the year 2017 taking 10 hours to install. I've downloaded emulators for snes, sega, nintendo, and ps1 on my phone and was playing games in about 5 mins for like $5 that i paid to support the developers. Why would anyone buy this shit?
I understand why Ian is pissed at this, and I agree. Also I was trying not to laugh my ass off when I listened to the audio podcast the other night walking threw Walmart, but Ian please lay off the booze, and energy drink combo before you have a brain aneurysm lol!
I hope the Completely Unnecessary Console has a startup animation that lasts too long, a manual that doesn't fit in the box, and the only video out is s-video.
RF only on Japanese channel that's not available on most US/Europe gear with sound carrier that's not available on Japanese gear. You can choose between having sound, having video or searching for obscure DVD recorder that sold only in 2001 in Middle East (and it runs MESECAM only so no color picture then).
Does the CU console only ship with 2 x MadCatz controllers or would you consider swapping one out for a Gioteck? Maybe even give the optional extra of adding the Gioteck HC5 headset which couldn't connect to anything, I'm sure there is likely some stock of them Creative unbranded fucked up dongles left they used.
Hey I bought the system, but since I bought it late, I only got the console with no remote, is there a link where I can buy some remotes, not the ones from retro engine. Or is retro engine controller a must?

Selling the hardware as they do is definitely rogue, but selling open source software isn't dodgy, especially if people know it's open source and will think to download it free somewhere else.
Just mod a previous generation console you don't use anymore and enjoy the emulators! There's your magic box. Or maybe what gamers have been doing for 20 years and just play emulators on PC, the longest running magic box.
just bought a regular raspberry pi 3 and installed everything myself. Got a custom SNES case with a fan. I'm not savvy on coding or anything and I figured it out. I even know how to overclock and edit configurations now. Try it yourselves instead of being lazy and buying freeware.
I feel like the cu podcast has taught us one thing overall NEVER BACK A VIDEO GAME CONSOLE PROJECT. RETRO VGS Coleco Chameleon Retroblocks This fuckin thing
We got our Retro Engine Sigma for 59.99 and have had no issue with any of the games working and took about 1 hour to set up. No issues at all, are we in the minority.
I don't understand the market for these things. RetroPie already exists and does what you want. Hell, any PC made in the last twenty years will play the full libraries of retro games that these scams promise. Why are people always looking for a solution that already exists?
What's the point of this type of device in the first place? I can just hook my galaxy s7 to a tv via the hdmi and connect a Bluetooth controller to it and play all the same games with my emulators....
It's actually quite ironic that of every one of these all-in-one retro game boxes, aside from the Pi 3, Nintendo themselves produced the very best one on the market = The SNES Classic. When modded to play games off of a USB stick, it is literally the best all in one solution on the market for playing these old games on a modern TV In fact, it plays N64 and PS1 games better than the Pi 3 does. I would choose it over the Pi 3 for retro games any day of the week. By the time you buy the Pi 3 unit, a case, controllers, MicroSD card, etc, you're getting close to the price of the SNES Classic anyway, which comes with two really nice SNES controllers as well. The only things you need to get it going are a very specific USB hub and a USB stick.
Not always a fan of Ian not that I dislike him but I normally have a difference of opinion to him and find him slightly snobby (on certain topics) But recently he's been on fire, fastly becoming my favourite internet personality.
I would buy the Completely Unnecessary Console. Like, for real. I'd love a huge pile of novelty dog crap on my table. Perfect center piece and conversation starter

anyone else want a video of just ian ranting at crap he hates
Yes. I would.
We must figure what else may he hate with such fervor. Amiibo?
Gabriele Riva He hates Ranch Dressing.
I could watch a couple hours of him just ranting at things while drinking beer.
no
"Is there a lemon pi?'
It's called the Coleco Chameleon
niiiiiiiice.
Someone needs to get them some Neosporin for that BURN!
No Jaguar Shell? No Coleco? NOCARE. lol
Ian getting salty is part of the reason why I love this podcast.Thank you Ian, you are amazing.
The Completely Unnecessary Console : The CUC .... Sign me up !
Ian lost his shit in this podcast. 😂😂 Seeing Pat cracking up made me laugh. Ya'll are hilarious.
if ian is angry, he is the most pleasant person ive ever seen angered
happy drunk ian
fancy seeing you here! lol
Adam Ball what the fuck lol 😂😂
who what where when why
this is a realistic story.
Ian might be loaded, but he's firing on all cylinders.
Watched John Hancock's video after this. You can tell he's so mad but trying to stay professional lol. He's such a nice guy.
"Its cool, BUY IT." Might be the best line from all of the CUPodcast. Fire.
This is one of Ian's greatest performances.
I understand why Ian is pissed at this, and I agree. Also I was trying not to laugh my ass off when I listened to the audio podcast the other night walking threw Walmart, but Ian please lay off the booze, and energy drink combo before you have a brain aneurysm lol!
Ian don't hold back, tell us how you really feel.
Ian is angry and ranty and all is well again on the CUpodcast.

I want a compilation vid of Ian raging like that! That's pure gold right there
I didn't know I needed to laugh this hard until I saw this video. Thanks!
No joke, I nearly shit myself laughing at Ian ranting about this LMAO
Ian, the Angry Video Game Store Manager :)
Ian rants are the best
This is the Ian that I love. So glad to see you back to form.
Angry Ian is hilarious! Ask Frank, CU Lets Play, Flea Market Madness, Pat the NES Punk, and ANGRY IAN!!!!
Well said. Cheers - and greetings from the RetroPie team. :-)
It's nice to hear Ian's voice is full of passion again!
Drunk rage ian
As for the SD card image, you can load any RetrOrangPi card but not a card from a different board cos thats like putting windows on a Mac
Ian was hilarious in this one
Look's like Ian's got his groove back!
Great video guys, I love it when Ian is on the warpath!
Only a minute and a half in, and Ian's already throwing some massive shade.. this should be a good one!
Ian in rare form!
It makes me so happy to see Ian feeling better.
I once seen this on ebay and one of the listings had a random picture of an old man with a long cut on the side of his head.

Ian Balls sounds like a good name for a band.
Let's all crowdfund a lifetime supply of Red Bull for Ian so he's always so passionate and on point, he clearly needs an IV of the stuff.
Ian, how drunk were you here? lol
Ian raging is great in this video. 🤣
Ian is on another level here this was HILARIOUS
Hey I bought the system, but since I bought it late, I only got the console with no remote, is there a link where I can buy some remotes, not the ones from retro engine. Or is retro engine controller a must?
Good to see you guys having fun and laughing again.
Any chance for a yawning triceratops lets play?
Good to see Ian really letting loose again . Must be feeling better!
I feel bad for laughing at people's misfortune, but Pat reading some of those user comments cracked me up.

Do you guys think, this one is any better?
Dreamcade Replay
How do I preorder my CUC? Hopefully I'm early enough for the nail polish edition because I want Fire Engine Red!
Will the CUConsole only be powered with Dial-up?
and a hamster in a wheel
"is there a lemon pie?" HAHAHAHA!!!
Happy to see Ian's energy!
"CHRIST!" - Pat the NES Punk 2017
How did they fuck it up if it's just off the shelf software that works no problem when you get it off the internet?
The CUConsole should just be a Retropi with a sticker of ian's face on it. Higher tier backers also get pat's face.
Just mod a previous generation console you don't use anymore and enjoy the emulators! There's your magic box. Or maybe what gamers have been doing for 20 years and just play emulators on PC, the longest running magic box.
Common sense is uncommon.
Just get Raspberry Pi 3 w/Case and controllers, and plug from Amazon for like $60 and install Retro Pi and add your own games easy.
No joke. That was some money seriously well spent!
Last time in Ian Ball Z... Also, can we have Ian rant more often? This is the best!
John Hancock: The Immortally good looking gamer!
Ian is in fine form today! Let it rip, Ian!!!
Does anybody know where you can get that Buick Oldsmobile? Lol!
Ian is on a roll. Wow... Too much RedBull ? Lovin' it !
Ian came in on this topic spitting fire! I love it.
Haha!! Ian should always drink red bull! Love it!
just bought a regular raspberry pi 3 and installed everything myself. Got a custom SNES case with a fan. I'm not savvy on coding or anything and I figured it out. I even know how to overclock and edit configurations now. Try it yourselves instead of being lazy and buying freeware.
Pat are you rocking a blender bottle too for your protein shakes? hell yeah!
Where can I buy one of these?
Derpy Hooves thanks for the info.I'll check.
These what? Ian? I don't think Ians are for sale anymore.
This may be one of the best #CUPodcast segments ever! Both of your guys' reactions were absolutely fantastic!
I feel like the cu podcast has taught us one thing overall
NEVER BACK A VIDEO GAME CONSOLE PROJECT.
RETRO VGS
Coleco Chameleon
Retroblocks
This fuckin thing
They are having a lot more fun these days. Sign me up for the CUconsole.
Ian brought the fire, and I'm loving it.
Damn, Ian must be on the sauce pretty good today. Hilarious.
To be fair we don't know what the Ataribox is.
Ian is so damn right. If you want a retropie console just build it yourself. It is not hard and cheap
We got our Retro Engine Sigma for 59.99 and have had no issue with any of the games working and took about 1 hour to set up. No issues at all, are we in the minority.
“VERY HANDSOME MAN”
I'm going to go look for a 72 Buick Oldsmobile. That's gotta be really rare!
Ian's on a war path lol
And Angry Pat. We need more of him too.
He's the "Angry NES Punk" 😂
Hopefully the dreamcade replay will go for the same fate
Red Bull then a swig of beer....Ian, anyone would have a stomach ache after that.
Ian rants are always great
I love Ian's rants lmao
The Immortal John Hancock looks like Rick Steiner from WCW.
Wow, Ian is on the warpath!!!
I don't understand the market for these things. RetroPie already exists and does what you want. Hell, any PC made in the last twenty years will play the full libraries of retro games that these scams promise. Why are people always looking for a solution that already exists?
God I needed this. I missed this.
What's the point of this type of device in the first place? I can just hook my galaxy s7 to a tv via the hdmi and connect a Bluetooth controller to it and play all the same games with my emulators....
I wish Ian wouldn't hold back and tell us what he really thinks. LOL
Yeah, Ian is back and better than ever, lol!
Ian... gadDAMN man! Never change!

Ian's sarcasm😍
Ian is ooon fire!!! And we love it!
Not always a fan of Ian not that I dislike him but I normally have a difference of opinion to him and find him slightly snobby (on certain topics) But recently he's been on fire, fastly becoming my favourite internet personality.
Ian in good spirits LOL!!
Who's for buying the Completely Unnecessary Console? Does it come in polished turd edition?
Make sure you make yawning triceratops playable on your turd system. Would be hilarious as the one definitive add in game. Genius marketing idea
Ian is so pissed... lol
i'm thinking ian uses the cu podcast to get his anger out
I would buy the Completely Unnecessary Console. Like, for real. I'd love a huge pile of novelty dog crap on my table. Perfect center piece and conversation starter
Buy a real genesis console,$20 or $30 dollars.fuck all this shit
Eric Raymond This isn't Genesis clone, it just looks like one.
A Genesis can't do the things this thing can...if it would actually work.
Buy a wii and soft mod to have homebrew channel. Runs nes, snes, genesis, gameboy family and more.
