Thank you so much! I wish that plug had been in there! Gift for my husband brings back so many memories and how all those quarters at the arcade were so worth it!
Thank you for this video because I got a tiktok sample from a company to try out this product and The pamphlet it comes with doesn't tell you how to set it up at all.. Without you showing me this would have turned into an hour-long project. Thanks again❤
Does the controller need to be used with batteries or no batteries in order to work, yes I plugged the lil mini usb and everything’s on but the controllers not working
@percivalximba7795 for the Controllers to work you have to put 2 AAA batteries in the back of the controller, plug on the USB dongle into.the game stick and then turn on the controller. The controller has a small on/off switch. Hold the controller in both hands and tilt up and you'll see it
Im sending mine back...my tv will say hdmi 1 is available i go to it and it says no signal i got everything plugged in correctly and nothing loads up...what a piece of crap 😭
ua-cam.com/video/FZduwiwSi08/v-deo.html Ive been reading the comments and i'm sorry for those that are still having trouble. as i said i would also review this unit and in that review i went ahead and showed me setting it up and showed gameplay and how to add coins as well as exit games. hope this helps. RetroGamer
The dongle for the controller was missing in the box so my controller was not able to work. This may be an issue for others as well. Thanks for the video, it helped me figure out why the controller wasn’t connecting and working.
Thank you very much for this video!! Totally missed the usb slot for the controller due to the instructions being crap. I’ll checkout your review soon but I’ll have fun with this until the grand-babies get here to play! Thanks again! Happy New Year!!
Old video, but I just had to come on here and thank you so much for making this. I just unboxed this thing and I had no clue what to do with it. Thank you so so much.
by chance do you have the manual of the controller and know how to connect to the USB dongle if it doesnt come working? and what the LED combinations are saying on the controller?
I reset the settings, and then turned off the power to the HDD cable, when I reopen the HDMI, it says “GAME LOADING...” and does not respond to the joysticks, this picture is on the TV screen for two hours, what should I do? I need help!! I'm waiting for an answer. Thank you.
I plugged the power cord into the TV's USB and the power adapter you showed. The power light on the stick does not come on. I tried unplugging and plugging back a few times with both configurations and still no power light on the stick. I also tried a different USB plug. Still no power. Any suggestions?
Thank you sooooo much, my friend. According to the awful instructions, there is no need to plug it... Anyway, it works, I'm happy and grateful and Happy New Year...
if you los thr usb reciever cna you buy anotehr one that works or only ones with the josrticks works also can u chaneg the control typoes? like buy another set and stick it to the game stick ?>
hi thank you for the video, nothing to say about the console it work well, but I have a question: on the search section on the bar when you write the name of the game to search, how do you do the space?(space button) thank you very much.
My controllers work individually but as soon as attempting to play a 2 player game at the same time 1 controller loses control. Can use if 1st player stops pressing buttons but not working if playing together!

Hey man, i have exact the same thing, but to me, my controller's won't pair, the lights keep blinking from 'mode' and 'power', and i can't make them pair. What should i do, is the stick from controller borken?
This is a major issue i have, I bought one and it worked for a couple of minutes, I unplugged it, ended up plugging it back into play it again and all the games were gone, I kept taking the game back and exchanging for a new one and they all kept doing the same thing, I finally get one that worked for like 6 months and yesterday it started doing the same crap...how do you fix this issue!?
the controller into 2 player games is a bit weird bc i js spam the start button when i start the game until it conects to the game there are also 1 player games that the second controller dosent work
I'm having a lot of the same issues. I do not have anything plugged into the wall but one end in to the USB on my TV and the other end to the hdmi port on the TV. When i switch on to HDMI1 on my TV the main screen comes up but the controllers don't do anything. Both are on and have batteries. Any ideas?
as 14yo this is so sick bro like over 12k retro og games like my fav like theres so much my fav games hope i get this for chrismtas i asked my mom to get it.
How do you change menu List to Class as my controller only goes up and down to move up and down to select games but dont know how to move over to Class on top of screento change between Ps1 and other systems..see plenty of demos of people going into List but cant see how they select it????
I get the stick to power up and I see king of fighters on my screen, however neither of my handcontrollers work, any idea what might be wrong? I have it "on" and the mini usb stick inserted
Great product! Only thing with the one that was sent is , some games don't load properly is there away you can help so all games can work thanks. Hook up is a breeze. Just the games I was looking to play is not loading. It just go back to menu.
Hi, My reciever is missing upon delivery the parcel. Would you know of a way on how to pair my controllers to a new bluetooth reciever if ever i purchase one?
For power I would recommend plugging the USB into a USB brick like how you charge your phone and then into a wall. But if your t.v has a USB port you can definitely try but I cannot confirm if it works at this time
Just bought one of these and i can't get back to the main menu! I've tried all the buttons including mode button and nothing. i have to unplug it everytime to get back to the menu. any ideas please.
The PS1 roms that come on the Micro SD card are not good. I inserted other roms, and everything works great. The games I tried: Medal of Honor, Medievil, MK4... I've only had this for two days. You can also use controllers on your PC, for playing PC games. For €20, this is a great deal.
How do I connect it to a laptop? I did everything I had to do, the lights are on (blue), but there's nothing appearing on my screen and I don't know how to make the games start. Help!
Try to see if it works on tv so that you are sure it's working. Afterwards try to restart your PC and see then if something appears when you plug the usb in
Hi. I managed to set this all up, but the controllers aren't working on it. (Yes I did put the Bluetooth dongle in it, but controllers aren't responding to the game unit.)

Does it have a road rash game? If not can we add that?
@AK-yp7ym personally I can't remember of it has it but if not it's easy to add. Is it for Genesis?
@@RetroGamerReviews no not genesis. It's for the M8 2.4g gaming controller.
The instruction manual it comes with is useless! How can you not explicitly state where the power connection is!
What were you able to figure out? I am having trouble.
❤ FACTS ✨
Very useless
Terrible is what it is
Yours came with instructions?
Thank you so much! I wish that plug had been in there! Gift for my husband brings back so many memories and how all those quarters at the arcade were so worth it!
Thank you so much, had no idea this console needed a plug to work. Much appreciated :)

@@jenellenelson4447same with mine I got mine for Christmas and it just won’t work
As did mine until I found a USB block and had to plug it into the wall as opposed to plugging it into the back of my TV.
@@eagleseyes3 When you say wall, do you mean the back of the TV?
@danielj.gonstaz6771 nono plug it into a wall outlet. The TV probably won't provide enough power
Hello, i have a problem, when i connect my controller to the power I just have one red light, if you know something i will appreciate a lot... Thanks!

Oh that white cord was just an extension cord I had plugged into the wall so I could power the device on camera :)
thank you SO much for this; who knew it was just a plug we needed lol terrible instructions in the box
What plug was needed?
Any idea what’s wrong if the red light and green light just keeps flashing in the remote?

How do get the 2nd controller to work
one question, how do I make it work for laptop?
question, can I use my pc monitor or it should be TV?
As long as you have HDMI output I don't see why you can't use any screen. TV or pc
So why is my light red and not blue?
I’m here cause mine is red
I'm wondering did you plug the USB into TV or wall?
Does the red light mean it's broken
When me and my son played mario, his red light seems like it indicated as 2nd player
Thanks for all these info!! I think I still have one (maybe silly) question. So, how am I supposed to switch it off??
From what I see the only way is to unplug power
