WOW, will have to get this. Even if I can play half them, worth it. Love the big dreamast and big console collections.
This thing is amazing retro gaming guy! You open my eyes to the possibility. The best way to do emulation is through PC. What's cool about this, you've got just about every emulator. You can add and delete what you want. This thing is a beast. It's amazing what they can do with 4Tb. Thanks for the video!
LOL wasted your money.
@@franciscooteiza How's it a waste? not sure why your so worried about other peoples money
I bought this from watching your videos. It’s very attractive built, but it doesn’t have 2 most desirable features. 1: search 2: favorites wheels (I understand that you can toggle favorites in each individual wheel, but we need one universal wheel where we can add our favorite games from multiple systems)
There’s no search function?
@@mitchellglick8737 Nope and it really bothers me a lot. No search and no creating playlist. It's hard to locate your favorite game. If the wheel has thousands of game like MEME, you haverto do very long scroll to get to your game. No short cut
@@mitchellglick8737 nope
just bought one using your code.. probably the best collection i have seen for the price.. going to install into my ACEMAGICIAN AM06 pro Ryzen mini PC.. running a Ryzen 5625 APU.. pretty excited!
Does it run Mgs4 and does it have it on the hdd
Man I would love this 4TB multi retro gaming system it's got virtually every game I used to play and it looks like most games play so well, Thank's for your video so well put together I really enjoyed it, all my very best Simon from the UK 👍🇬🇧
Thanks for the kind words and support!!
@RetroGamingGuy Does It Have Arcade Version Of Gaunlet Dark Legacy Or PS2 Version Of Gauntlet Dark Legacy
Emulation is the way to go
The arcade Indiana Jones games explodes my nostalgic senses... I fell even emotion when I see the preview or song from it.
"This game is emulated perfectly" - *shows graphic blocks flashing in middle of the screen* - "Moving on.."
lol
Xd
lol
Some people just aren't fussy. I can spot a dropped frame, a frame of latency or tearing from a mile away. It's a curse.
😅😂
Really good device and amazing build graphics 🎉 well done ✅!!
Awesome video
Thank you
Just make sure you have the right specs for PC, mini PC, laptop, etc. The better the specs, the better the performance.
Just curious - how many games are on this beast ?
This is the ultimate game machine ever.
LOL wasted your money.
@@franciscooteiza where and how I can get it for free?
@@franciscooteiza What do you mean?
I purchased for 180.00 with shipping and import taxes from Spain the Retrostation PC4U external 4TB and it will not play Model 3. But it does have WII and WII U games. Thanks for the great video.
Retrostation PC4U is not the same, It`s the chinese version with 2 thirds of doubles and useless versions, including spy software thats only waiting for you to go online, this here is the real deal .... but the asking price is way to high .... You can get a 4 TB Drive for 100 $ if you like , but they really put effort into sorting things out, this must be added to the price tag, but adding it up to 400 $ is a joke. Remember : You must own a Physical copy of the games you are playing, otherwise you got a problem, i see lawyers with Dollar Signs in their greedy eyes, but in the end its up to you ...
@@Tomcat_815 Retrostation PC4U is not made in China. Ricardo is in Portugual or Spain. And it does have some doubles. Most of these builds including this build have games that won't play and have doubles too. 400 dollars is too high and is a joke which i agree. Lawyers are not going do any lawsuits over these build Developers don't care after all these years. I have owned a lot of builds for many years.
Nice review. I have his 48 TB version, support and the updates are amazing, really the best system out there.
Where to get one??
What PC do you have for his build?
@@leejones5706 Just google it, it's the 1st hit on Google. 48TB version is about $2000 USD.
LOL wasted your money.
LOL wasted your money.
Nice. Having the switch emulator in it is good but the games they have for it they couldve kept off. At least you can be able to add better games for it
I think they are working on changes to switch now
Hey was looking into buying this and was wondering if my mini pc strong enough to run everything. Beelink SER5 MAX Mini PC, AMD Ryzen 7 5800H(7nm, 8C/16T) up to 4.4GHz, Mini Computer 32GB DDR4 RAM 500GB NVME SSD, Micro PC 4K@60Hz Triple Display, Mini Gaming Computer WiFi6 BT5.2 54W HTPC. Thanks!!
I was gonna go purchase it and use your promo code, but he’s no longer accepting it that sucks
I really like Speed Devils on the Dreamcast fun arcade racer give it a try.
This is a great video. I really like how enthusiastic you are. Just a question that will determine my purchase. Can I clone the disk or just copy files to a new hard drive so I can use on another windows pc I have laying around?. It really would be a deal breaker if after paying 330€ I could only use in 1 pc at a time. I would REALLY appreciate if you could answer this query for me. Thanks in advance
I just got a 4tb mini but has less than 100 PS2 games yours has much more, i think i bought the wrong one.
ROG ALLY compatible?
Wow, amazing video. I’m a new subscriber and have already watched three videos including this one. My question is what kind of specs for a gaming PC do I need for emulation up to PA3, Xbox 360 and Sega Saturn?
Hey thanks for watching. Saturn not much at all. Most pcs wil get you in there without any issues. Below is a link to my gaming pc. It's not top of the line but it's mid level I'd say and all those titles work well on it. Worth mentioning though 360 emulation in general is limited. Not due to pc specs more so due to the emulator just being fairly new still. It does keep getting better though.
amzn.to/3qxd5r3
@@RetroGamingGuyThank you! I am curious if there are any "mini" gaming PCs that have the correct specs to run most of these games not including the 360 emulation issues? I figure I need an 8 core 16 thread with perhaps 16GB DDR4 ram and have researched Ace Magician (Ace Magic), Beelink and TRIGKEY but would be disappointed in myself if I picked a weak mini gaming PC and it couldn't run these games. My budget is up to $1000.
@@stockboy87 Did you buy a computer to operate the 4tb yet? I'm in your predicament as well and coasting the conversation boards for answers. Thanks!
I really like to get this really upgrade my games but $439 mmm ouch
Where do you buy one? Does it work on a tv and does it come with controllers?
Fantastic video!
Is this using Hyper Spin? I can remember using this on my old computer, and it was an absolute nightmare. I remember I had a lot of issues mapping out the buttons to my controller.
Love your video very helpful. A question. The light gun games do you know if Sinden light guns will work with this set up?
Thanks in advance 🖖🖖🖖
Is it possible to upscale the games on these emulators running in hyperspin?
Does it have the games need for speed underground and Marc Ecko Getting Up by any chance 🤔
Amazing!
New to all these retro devices , amazing , but do these run well in the uk ??
Question, what about saving game progress like when we used memory cards back in the day, does it come with a built-in memory card for some of the consoles if not, how do we save? Also is DX Ball in this?
Ask retrobeast they'd tell you the best route to take but I know you can I believe it saves to your computers hard drive I'm not 100% sure on that tho
@RetroGamingGuy Can you tell me if the Retro Beast Mini loads the emulators onto your C drive, or is everything contained to the hard drive? I bought a gaming PC which has emulators on it already, but wanted to use the Retro Beast as well. Thanks, Mitch
what do i do if i have no sound on the launchbox>?
This is super cool but it’s insanely overpriced. I’v noticed most of the reviews never say how much this thing cost’s
Maybe I'm naive but the 300 doll hair price tag seems pretty fair for getting over seven trillion games. I feel like a sucker for wasting time searching down individual roms and trying to get them to emulate right.
@@FiggsNeughton I dunno where you got that number, Bro it’s $530 and that is way too much
@@turnbasedtoddy7664 Sorry, I'm converting the 439 Canadian dollar price to American dollars, which is (today at least) 322 dollars. But to be fair I would pay more than that to have access to every game that's in here.
So question. How do the lightgun games work? Do you need additional hardware or are you using a cursor for aiming like on some console renditions??
some will work off controllers / mouse, but really to enjoy it properly you need to buy a lightgun.
Too bad you never show what RPGs are in each category. Not everyone is interested in sports games and wrestling
Sports and wrestling games are literally all im interested in so thanks for the heads up on that haha
Not everyone is interested in RPG's either (like me). There's a good mix to suit all tastes 🦔
Sorry. Now understand your point. Yes, showing some RPG would be advantageous too 🦔
Great video man
Appreciate it! Thanks!
Hard drives are too slow for some games over USB adapters. The waiting times can be unbearable.
It'd be nice if ANY of these videos actually launched the game from the carousel instead of providing a demo reel. I honestly can't tell if this footage was captured from the hard drive itself or from another machine.
What games come on the drive? Where is the file list?
What version of MAME? What romset? Are those easy to start?
Can anyone else in the comments verify this? In short, is this completely legitimate?
I'm not the person selling this so it's not my job to try and "sell" the product. I can assure you the games are demoed direct from this. I don't show load ins from the carousel because then each demo would be 2-5 min longer. The video is long enough as it is. In the end any of us content creators could edit anything together to dupe viewers but why would we? We have absolutely nothing to gain from that but pissed off viewers which wouldn't be good. Reach out to kris cool mod. He has a youtube channel and a website. He's the person making these builds. He would have all the answers to your questions.
It may be a great build but at 326 compared to the Hyperspin 5TB at 126 makes it hard to justify.
Dude, what happened to your eye....and is there a plug and play for that plays ps2 & saturn well?
Great collection, big let down on the switch category thought. He has a nicer library on his SteamDeck set up, actual current Switch titles. Very close to pulling the trigger but this pc one is really enticing, I just wish it had the same or better line up of switch titles
I believe he was updating switch to improve it after I did this video as that was a lot of people's response to switch
Thank you for the super informative video.
How do the multiple disk games like Amiga work?
LOL wasted your money.
Good video but I have a question for the lightgun games are you able to use an actual light gun sinden perhaps???
Yeah you can use those
Where can I get it
Is crackdown 1&2 also Ninja Blade
What are the minimum computer specifications to operate the mini 4tb? I can't find the answer ANYWHERE on his website. Thanks!
Where do you find this unit? How much is it?
Nba jam 🤓💯❤️🔥
Similarly I want Android games to play on larger screen through projector, can you please suggest me, to purchase !
Quick question, is Oregon Trail game included in this build?
What about Daphne emulator badlands dragons lair dragons lair 2 space ace cliffhanger etc
discount code does not work :( any tips?
Can this drive be plugged into an xbox one s or NVIDEA shield tv pro. I don't have a computer and I would really love a different way to be able to play one of these amazing retro emulation hard drives. Thank you. Great channel
What system specs are you running this on ?
what do you suggest between this emulator and the kinhank 5x pro 4tb
Damn thats a lot of piracy. Wonder how long he will stay in business selling all of these copyrighted games up to ps4 and ps5 😬😬😬
Would Nvidia GeForce 2070, 8 bit be okay to run this hardrive?
Does Is Have The Arcade Version Of Guantlet Dark Legacy
Or
PS2 Version Of Guantlet Dark Legacy
I know there's a ps2 version Xbox snd GameCube I'm not sure about arcade tho
Bro who beat you up my guy😂
What kind of PC do I need to run these with no lag.....or better yet can I just get standard laptop and plug and play the external hard rive up to it
Good video, thanks, but could you help out a guy remember how do I jump to say games starting the letter "L" or "P". I use to know and forgot. Thanks
Try hitting select and see if a jump to menu pops up
Welllll, At present I'm using just a keyboard with no select button, I've tried tab, shift, and ctrl. I've done it once, but can't remember. Eventually this will be for a arcade cabinet with an extension two player controller, hope that goes easier. So I just can't seem to be able to select the A-Z. Thanks for getting back with me so quick. Dave@@RetroGamingGuy
I'm interested in dos games, but n-one speaks about them...
Can i set it up on my cocktail table (Dell Optiplex) and allow split screen without issue?
I believe so not sure about split screen. Ask kriscoolmod about that
hello I want to buy a retro device for some time now and cant deside what is good quality . this looks amazing but it is 450euro so not cheap but if this worth the price I would buy it I also question how legal this is? I subbed thank you good video
Hi, so I have a ROG Ally if I know you can plug it in and play it on there, but would I be able to transfer some to my rog ssd?
I don't think ti would work there but you could pull roms from it and add them to your setup for that
@@RetroGamingGuy I have emudeck on my Ally, so I'd be able to access roms from this 4tb and transfer them?
Does this have Dragon's Lair or Space Ace?
bummer how expensive it is. It would be nice if he offered this as an image or something instead of having to buy a drive and such.
Will it work on the Steam Deck ? , and how much is it please 👍
The Discord link doesn’t work anymore, please update it?
How easy is it to add more games? How much empty space on HD?
Would copying everything over to a bigger drive still keep everything setup to work correctly?
$300 US is still a lot to pay for a bunch of pirated software
You can add/take away roms on this?
yep!
It costs $400?
$400 Canadian = $300 US. Considering the drive itself runs around $100, that's $200 for 4 TB of ROMs, artwork, configuration of every emulator, unlimited support and lifetime upgrades, pretty sweet deal.
@@Gumdoc9 yea but no controllers included?
@@dimes305 Nope, but any 360/Xbox One/8BitDo will work.
@Dimes most the Chinese one that include controllers are $10 controllers that last like through 3 play throughs then crap out. Plus you can use the 10% code then go buy you those controllers. Or do what's best and use a Xbox controller
@@Gumdoc9 200 is still a lot to pay for a bunch of pirated software
$899.99 and up 😭😭😭
I was looking at your PS2 list and there's no Manhunt 😢
Nice video but man I wish you would show running some of the more sought after games that are more difficult to run!?
You know, show it running some of the harder Nintendo 64 games and some of the Dreamcast games that nobody ever shows like Dino crisis that you skipped right past and the resident evil games on the dream cast, maybe soul Calibur, Metropolis Street racer, 4 x 4 evo, Shenmue etc..
Show PlayStation games that people actually want to play light Gran Turismo, final fantasy, metal gear solid etc..
Everybody and their aunt Susie has played crazy taxi on three different systems..
Great Video! So quick question. I have an extreme home arcade 4 player Arcade Cabinet running hyperpin with an active marquee. If I wanted to swap to this type of configuration with the 4tb external do you think it would work if my specs were high enough? Do you think it would be pretty difficult to configure the controls on the control panel and the active marquee with a drive like this?
With the Pacto Tech 4000T it should be fairly easy, because it emulates 4 Xbox 360 controllers.
(FYI, I'm the Pacto guy)
Does anyone know how I can use this on a steam deck?
Kriscoolmod does not sell this version anymore. He removed all ps2 games except for 70 of them and only 44 xbox games. This video is midleading for people who actually go to purchase it expecting this same thing like I did, and get something totally different.
Sorry to hear this but I reviewed what I received at the time of filming. This was over 5 months ago now. If a product is updated after the video is made it's obviously going to differ. I don't control the future updates or evolution of products. In this case only he does. Reach out to him directly if you aren't happy with the product. Explain why and maybe he can solve the issue for you. I have no affiliation with him beyond the fact that I reviewed some of his setups.
Can I mirror this to my TV?
This HardDrive or Explosion of Fun?
Hi, is this really plug and play, as in i plug it in the port and it work flawlessly or some config is needed? Im bad at PC stuff but if its really plug and play i want it !!
I have their 48 TB which has 3 drives, it was pretty much plug and play. They have a great Discord channel with lots of people who can provide support.
@@Gumdoc9 I never really used Discord. Thing is with me im so fearfull of screwing something up lol. But im really thinking on selling my physical games for this eventually (take much less space)
so what is the system your running this on? just for my curiosity.. thanks!
Coinops
How is this running PS5 games when PS4 emulation is still in its infancy? The same goes for the latest XBox systems. It's not just hardware capability. The emulation software just isn't there yet.
Not true emulation it's pc versions
That makes sense. So consol specific games won't make it here. I know people are going crazy about the price, but there's probably $2k-$3k worth off HDDs in that box.
@@jasonkrause100 exactly & if tried buying all the actual games you like & consoles for, you'd either not find them all or have sell a kidney to afford everything.
just getting into emulation, not sure what all this means, I just want to play old games. Someone explain this to me like I'm 5. You buy this build and a mini pc and download it?
Mini may be tough depending on which you go with. A gaming pc would likely be better or a mini gaming pc. This can be booted up on it by connecting the drive (this comes on a hard drive) either externally or internally. Mini pc is going to have to be an external connection.
@@RetroGamingGuy thanks, what gaming pc do you recommend? just powerful enough to run this collection.
What theme is this?
Is techno parrot on here?
Can I just plug this hdd into any smart tv Hdmi port or usb port & play or I have to run this hdd thur a laptop or cpu
It's just a drive so you need a computer to run this.
How can i do that plz
Question. U said that the 4tb mini hard drive had 466 ps2 games but when I looked at the 4tb mini games list that u provided it only read 72 games for the ps2.
🤷🏼♂️ You'd have to address that with Kris coolmod that's all his stuff. The list is probably outdated.
Thanks!!
I couldn't even finish this video before I had to go order this. LOL
🤣 I got a big video coming out soon on their 96tb setup......insane
Would a beeline ser6 handle this serup
Yeah it should for the most part
@@RetroGamingGuy thank youI want to do this with the minimum set up an SR five or six hopefully can handle all that
Where do i buy?! Take my money lol😂
Ka-lee-ko
did you have to disable your anti virus program?
Nope
I ordered it 2 days ago. His instructions were to disable windows defender. I feel I got ripped off.
According to Kris, I have to install this on my C Drive it’s supposed to be a portable plug and play. Why would it take 20 minutes to install a plug and play means you plug it in and you play it. For the price of $400 it should all be set up where you just plug it in and play it.
On your pc? I didn't "install" anything . I just connected the drive and double clicked the software from my file explorer. 2 seconds it loaded up.
@@RetroGamingGuy yes that’s what I think I may be wrong because it is a portable external drive I was just going by what he emailed me I didn’t receive it yet but thank you for the great videos.
Can this be plugged into the Nvidia Shield and work or it can only run via PC?
No
Guess real users of the drives can’t comment here. Lol.
Why not
@@RetroGamingGuy Some of my replies plus Man Glitters comments Have been removed. IDK why. i was just pointing some to Discord and others giving answers to their questios.
WHY is this guy charging? no other builds require payment. anyone got a torrent link ?
Just got this today for my One X Player but I'm trying to set it up by adding a shortcut icon and starting it up. No instructions came with it. Can Anybody help?
There's instructions in the files. There should be a wiki folder in there are instructions
Nice set up, what's your rig
I have a HP Pavilion gaming pc
How can I get something like this that is portable, where I can plung into a TV?
Is it possible to play retro first person shooters with mouse and keyboard. I suck with gamepads.
