I just got mine last week .. I love it .. the games run smoothly .. lots of imports .. arcade classics … Macross .. mazinger z , king of fighters Godzilla. etc .. well worth it .
lol There are ton of games on there that don’t work. There are games you cannot start. There are games that have glitches in the first level where you can’t even move or get around anything you’re just stuck. A lot of the games lag sitting game play. They don’t all run smoothly. Also since they are emulated some of the games are stretched out and you can’t read words on the top and bottom. As a retro game player since 1981 this game stick is highly subpar. This game stick is garbage good thing it’s an emulator. I ditched all the bad games downloaded all the good roms to mine. My controller back was broken when sent. It’s a pure garbage for emulation untill you mod out the emulator with better roms and better Operation System.
Planning on getting this. Just want to make sure Contra was on it. Would be a great birthday present for my mom as I remembered she loved playing that game when I was a kid.
I honestly just ordered the system. It was $16 but it was 20 with tax. I’m really looking forward to this because I brought a Nintendo switch and the games are a bit to pricey
I'm a huge fan of these gamestick things! There's a version called GD10 from the AMPOWN Store, nowadays it's the 2nd best when it comes to these, it's the one I got for me. It can run SNES without slowing down and the n64 works well with it too. Only the Dreamcast is kinda eh, has some games where the fps drops or some of the graphics glitches like Sonic Adventure 1 (even tho Sonic Adventure 2 runs perfectly), but the PSP for example, it runs smoothly most games. the more demanding ones like God of War, Dante's Inferno and GTA won't run well on it, but most other games will run in 30 or 60 fps. The SD card it comes with sucks by the way, I've heard people having trouble with it after a month's of usage, and the joysticks aren't the best either. Honestly, I did buy a new SD Card and a Joystick just to play on my gamestick and the investment was worth it for me.
I downloaded my favorite games from favorite platforms along with their emulators on laptop and i can play them anywhere i want with as many controllers i have. Connect to tv with hdmi and play on big screen with friends. Got NES, ps1, ps2 games on it. All for free, lots of work but free as long as you have laptop. Also in emulators you can use quick save quick loads.
Bought this system for $11 on Ali Express, same items. Playing through gameboy links awakening with my kids. Haha. I’m working on loading more games for the Super Nintendo and Ps1
There is no way on earth the M8 Gamestick has Nightmare in the dark, if so I would definitely purchase one, it was one of the best arcade games I played during my childhood.
I just bought one and I like it. All the games of my youth in the one console. Couple of things I don't like is as you said the amount of repeats of the same games cuts this in half or more. When I play street fighter, I can't do all the specia moves with this controller, I know people can but I can't 😢. And some of the games are super fast or on difficult mode or something like one of my fav. game RAIDEN. Other than that, I like it and didn't have to spend a small fortune like some other consoles PANDORA'S BOX. Maybe I should try that because it comes with an arcade style controller 😂😂
Can I lower the sensitivity of the controller? It toggles too fast and in Zelda your shield goes on and off if you click it Won’t last long with that type of controller
I bought this, but when you select a game to play you can't pause or exit it. I have to turn off and on my LCD to go back to Main Menu. If you know how to exit please reply
try connecting your gamestick to an old phone's adapter instead of plugging it on the tv, because the tv's voltage sometimes is too low to power it up.
I just bought the same gamestick, just want to ask if I have to charge it first before using it? Because I tried to plug it immediately to our tv but it cannot be detected by our tv. But the gamepads are working fine, I have tried it using my laptop.
How do you use third party controllers with this ? I would really prefer to use wired or rechargeable controllers like a PS4 controller instead of having to use batteries.
Hey buddy, long time no see. I have an old thing I got from GameStop. That's white, it runs Android and I hacked it years ago, wasn't that also called a game stick?
thanjs fow the review i wanted to buy, i ws wandering what pokemon games and what ps1 games does it has ? also do you know if i could change emulator / add emulator / add new emulator like n64 ,
Just got this and it's cheap and cheerful. The pads are trash. What I noticed is mame has no driving games. No Out Run, Chase HQ etc This is probably because the hardware isn't powerful enough
Hi i just received this one and plugged it as required, unfortunately the gaming list is not appearing in my TV, howbto get this game list in the tv? We need to install any application in the tv?
it looks like we both have the same console but why doesn’t mine have the old sonic games? actually most games on mine are bootlegs and knockoffs and there is only sega games like sonic advanced
@@marrs8303 yes there are not many games of ps1. and most of them in japanese. is there a way to add games on the stick? i insetred it on my laptop but it says to format it and doesn't show any files.
it does, though since it uses a separate system, u gotta get to the boot screen and change to the gamestick's system or else it will just run your laptopt's system instead of the gamestick's. the laptop's hardware won't be used at all though, it'll serve as a screen. not sure about all the Contra games since mine is the GD10 version, the list of games might differ.

It is originally meant for TVs. I’m not sure about PSP, if it can’t run PS2 games. But, if it does, who knows, maybe PS2 games will BARELY be playable too

I’m looking for one of these or something similar that has the 1998 Sega Star Wars Trilogy Arcade. Do you know of anything that has it? I don’t have a PC so I need something that will work on a TV. Thanks to anyone with any info.

You can try using a adapter for the powe instead of the tv's usb port in my case it did the job and fixed the emulation problems
Can you recommend a power supply that will work with this system?
Same.
@@NutnFartsy He means the USB plug adapter instead of sticking the other end of the usb into the tv
So the better the power the better the emulator runs? Like with FIRESTICK it works better plugged into the wall versus plugged into the USB on the TV.
How do go to the search?
Saw this in a shop today. Tried it out and it's pretty cool. Thinking of getting it for myself.
Thanks for the awesome review. i must buy this now!
Thanks for the review, gonna get it for my 3 year old daughter so I can have my phone back
HAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣
Long live the queen huh😂
are there any racing games ?
@@james223-x4o ridge racer on ps1 and a few basic outrun style games. Id day it's best to load better games

Your voice is very soothing and made me almost in a relaxed sleepy state.

How did you connect the xbox 1 controller to the gamestick?
Do u need wifi for it?
Also is all games free? :0
And does play 2 multiplayer need internet?

If GD10 is 2nd best. Which one is the best?
You know, back in the day, SNES was good. But most games did suffer from slow down. That's why Sega use to push up Sonics fast processing speed.

@thearosegantala5127 Google console + emulator and then console + ROMs. Roms are games you drop into emulator to play.
Wait ps2 games work on it? Have tou tested it?
Thanks for putting up this review. Are there screen filter options, like scanline, CRT, etc?
yes, you can apply them on the emulators. 😁
I had that game stick years ago. Great idea but poor software, you're right
controllers not functioning after replacing batteries even though they are properly connected to the device. Any solution?

Thanks for the review. Got one on temu for $20
Like your review bruh! Thanks!
Appreciate it.
Hi Nes! And thanks for your video. I have a question. What do you suggest: M8 or X2+ ? Thanks in advance
What you expect for 30 dollars . I think it’s great because paying 500 is a lot these days
Can I lower the sensitivity of the controller? It toggles too fast and in Zelda your shield goes on and off if you click it Won’t last long with that type of controller
I bought this, but when you select a game to play you can't pause or exit it. I have to turn off and on my LCD to go back to Main Menu. If you know how to exit please reply
I bought two. First one no power. 2nd one just says Loading and doesn’t change.
try connecting your gamestick to an old phone's adapter instead of plugging it on the tv, because the tv's voltage sometimes is too low to power it up.
Can I save my progress for those adventure games, like playing re3?
yes you can, just hit select and start and you can access save and load slots - it helped me a bunch on playing some games
I unplugged mine and now it won't turn back on what did i do ? Is it not working anymore?
The problem I have is on the game menu, I can't move it and be able to choose a game.
Same here it has something to do with the controller not pairing
No games from NES ( Nintendo entertainment system ) or SEGA?
Hi. Can I ask: does it save your hi-scores?
Yes
Anyone having trouble with their controller pairing because mine wont pair and yes i turned it on and yes it has batteries in it.
I just bought the same gamestick, just want to ask if I have to charge it first before using it? Because I tried to plug it immediately to our tv but it cannot be detected by our tv. But the gamepads are working fine, I have tried it using my laptop.
I wanted an answer to this question too, but I guess we will just have to charge and see
No i got one. It should start up as soon as u on the hdmi channel u hooked it up to and plug the power in to it
Oh wow I can't believe it has That Alien predator arcade game wow just wow I was always so hooked on that when ever I saw that in the arcade
can save your game? cause i can't seem to do it
yes you can, just hit select and start and you can access save and load slots - it helped me a bunch on playing some games
Can we save the progress?
Yes
It comes with one gamepad but only one usb input ?
Great device. Classic video games.
What screen/monitor did you use? The games look quite bad on my 50+ inches 4k TV.
Use a 32 inch
Which is the button to exit the game or return to the main menu? or how can i do it? can you help me?😢
I hit mode and then exit game and the menu pops back up
New upgrade version from data frog is Y3lite and can run SFC better but Genesis worse.
To bad about the snes emulation on that thing. Otherwise I was looking for a simple stick for some couch co-op on the backyard tv this summer.
Yea, SNES was a real bummer. Most everything else is great. But if SNES is a must, you should definitely look elsewhere.
You can try using a adapter for the powe instead of the tv's usb port in my case it did the job and fixed the emulation problems

does the game progresses savable? Or you gotta start it all over again after exiting the game?

Yes i have one
Mine saves but when I turn the stick off all my saves are gone when I play again. Very frustrating.
DOES IT HAVE MARIO KART!!
Just recently got 4k gamestick, do you have to charged it first 🤔🤔🤔, I started charging and I see a red dim light on the side on the side of gamestick
No sir. You have to keep it plugged while playing.

Can you save content on there like with ps1 games and Pokémon games?
Absolutely
Does this allow you to play 2 players even if there is only one dongle?
Yeah,I just tried it and yes it does
and if u plug a usb hub on it, you can get up to 4 players at the same time! considering u got any more controllers laying around.
Looks more than than worth it !!
Can we save the game?? For example pokemon
Do they have the games: Rastan, Prince of Persia on that list of games?
