Wow! This is exactly what I’m looking for in retro gaming. I’m an older gamer and not very tech savvy. I just want to sit down turn on a device and play. This is perfect. Thank you for the great explanation on everything.
Just buy a Switch and a get the Online+ expansion pack for $50 you get to play Sega Genesis , Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo, Game Boy, Game Boy advance, NES
Mine arrived today! All games included as promised and it works fantastically! They even included a free handheld game console for the delay in shipping because of the Chinese Lunar New Year. Great recommendation (and discount), Drew. I'm glad I found your content and am delighted with the unit. 🎉
Been scrolling comments looking for this type of comment. Question for you though if you wouldn’t mind… I’m a sports gamer does franchises and such save with this setup or you gotta restart every time? And 2 controllers work to play with a friend?
Wow! Thanks dude! Been looking for something like this for forever! Got a Hyperspin from a UK based company and it was nothing but junk and a nightmare! Plus it was twice as much! Thanks for the $50.00 coupon. Can't wait until this is delivered! Thanks again for the video. 😊
I love that it has pretty much the whole 3DS collection. That was one of the top things i was more interested in a plug and play but i am disappointed that it doesn't have the complete Wii and DS collection
I would say the price isnt to overboard considering you are getting plug n play out of box and a disc drive 4tb to boot. But if you are someone more capable to set up your own emulation gaming device then you could save half or more on purchase by buying a mini pc and just collecting every game yourself and setting up your emulation front end. But for what it is and the fact its plug n play I would say its a good deal for those wanting something that just works when you turn it on.
Thank you for the recommendation and especially the discount code, Drew! I placed my order, the discount went through and I can't wait to have all of this to play! This checked out all the boxes for me, every game I've been wanting to play is here!🎉
Same! Have you received anything other than your confirmation email yet? I placed my order nearly 5 business days ago and have only received the confirmation email.

@@itsjoeylou That's all I've gotten as well, identical situation to yours. I know that there was the Chinese New Year affecting the shipment delay until the 17th, but it's well past that now.

This console is pretty good. Mixed performance on the higher end consoles (PS2, GameCube, Wii), but most of the games I wanted to play actually worked pretty good. For the PS2 games, I have them at 2.25 screen resolution and the God of War games, Devil May Cry, NBA & NFL 2K5 work just fine. At 2x resolution, games like Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario Bros Wii, WWE Day of Reckoning 2, and TMNT work good off the Dolphin emulator. Some games run better than others, so you gotta determine if you want to play games that all work under the same settings, or do you want to tweak the settings per game. My preference is the same settings for all games. Also… keep that android remote control because it will come in handy for exiting out of the GameCube and Wii games, in addition to adjusting the volume output on your TV. If y’all need any assistance with how to exit out of the games or getting your game controller to work properly, drop a comment and I’ll help as best as I can!
@@gavjames3570 I don’t know about adding any other system emulators on there. But I can say that you should be able to add games from the Steam app that’s on there. You have to be connected to the Wi-Fi to do that.
Mine just shipped today from China so I should get it next week hopefully period I hope it has all the games on it that I want. I hope controller sinks properly. And then it's truly plug and play and I don't have to Monkey around with figuring out which emulator to use
A few , but not to bad the things I’m running into are controller basically has 3 modes not 2 this is used to get ps2 games to work , GameCube games are hit and miss if they work even with dolphin emulation
I CAN LOOK AT MINE LATER FOR YOU ONCE I GET HOME FROM WORK 2 NIGHT. IVE BEEN PLAYING THIS PRETTY MUCH EVERY NIGHT NOW FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS OR SO. GAME CUBE
Most of these boxes are not Android certified and will not update and also will not play netflix at 4k. Also if you buy one you should definitely get yourself a spare hard drive and clone it. They very well may be shipping it with a used hard drive that has a new controller board installed and it would actually show as a zero hour hard drive. As he stated in the video,he heard it making noise
Correct, every seagate drive ive owned has crash and burned, i now avoid these drives at all times. They are cheap for a reason, they dont last but a few years.
Thank you for providing the code and review for this system. I got mine this week and my favorite PS2 games are working good at 2.50x resolution. Is it possible you can help with instructions on how to add games to the hard drive?
@drewtalks are you able to save progress for every game you play? Also once i buy this is easy to track from kinhank to my door? Im very nervous about spending that much to a foreign entity. Please reply and let me know and I'll purchase with your coupon. Thanks
Another question on this: the games are already installed, legit? Like, you don’t need to download? “Plug and play” I’ve found is a very loose description. Just want to confirm. Thanks. Loved the video.
FOR RETRO ARCH, USE THE ANDROID SETTING, ITS IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. HOLD DOWN THE HOME BUTTON AND A, AND FOR PS2 AND GAMECUBE USE THW 360 SETTINGS, HOLD DOWN HOME AND THE A BUTTONS. THE CONTROLLER LIGHTS WILL CHANGE COLORS.
How do you play the Wii games since they have their own wireless controllers?...I can't see sitting down for Wii games as the fun ones require movement around the area.
I don't have a Wii but I think you can get unofficial usb adapters and drivers to make them work. All emulators support their original controllers. I use a real Dualshock 3 for my PS1, PS2 and PS3 emulation.
looks cool if you just want to connect to a tv and play the playstation 2 games you missed. Sadly for me, i grew up with ps2 and i only got a few ps3 games left i want to play. I already got a computer that has every game catalogue. This is great if you dont got a computer with a frontend and just need to hookup and play quickly.
Hi Drew thanks for your videos i just ordered the pro5X and id love to know if i could hook up a PSP guitar to Play guitar hero or usb guitar and id love to see a video from you showing how to convert the controller for gamecube - wii - switch and other consoles that needs it. Explaining step by step every details to do so 😊🇨🇦
What is the advantage to this machine verses their $150 super machine? The descriptions on their website are vague for someone like me. the cheaper machines advertise more games for less money.
I bought the $300 12TB one and STILL had to add 2 games that it didn't have. 102,000 games but it didn't have NHL Hitz 2002 or Punch-Out (Wii Version).
this is all new to me does this have arcade games like Punisher or the Alien vs predator games that were in arcades only? Also i take it there are no ps3 and above generations?@@ryankonishi1547
@@TehBoaz you're referring to one of the prior videos - 12 TB Gaming Hard Drive Has Every Game Ever NEW UPDATED! -- correct? I've been biding my time on which route I'm going to go. I was reading the comments on that one and they said much of the same things as here regarding giving out any pertinent info. For me, that 96 TB from KrisKool that Drew covered, which included all kinds of current PC games -- I think might be too much and I wouldn't even know where to begin. The other one he covered that was 32 TB from Hyper Arcade Systems, I think I could handle that. What it really comes down to for me is not having any issues that I am going to have to trouble shoot my way around. I haven't even figured out my Raspberry Pi 3B+ all the way yet so if I ran into problems with systems that are far more advanced, I'd be throwing in the towel. I saw people in the comments of both of those videos talking about "issues" with the larger one for the PC games and while I like the idea, it's all about how it runs. If the 32 TB is put together better, I'm sure there's plenty I could get rid of for storage and IF I wanted said modern PC games I could find them somewhere on some "archive". I'm in no rush but I'm certainly looking at those two. Since Drew covers machines like this and the Raspberry Pi 5 just came out I'm sure they would hold me over for another decade just fine. It's just a matter of the storage not failing as there's always going to be machines that can run them nowadays.
Is this a simple plug and play into the tv? Like don't need to do anything with a computer? (I don't have a computer). Also do I need a adaptor since I live in the United Kingdom? And where do I get one?
a bit,you will have to map out the gamecube and ps 2 controllers, but it was easy once i looked up how. everything else is in the instructions that come with it.
No one needs a 4Tb game console, all you got to do is get you a mini PC about 500 GB and put emulators on it! That way you can put the games that you want! But I do love your channel!!
This support up to PS2 so which higher up Systems are you talking about,it shows Switch and I can definitely tell you I doubt this will run Switch Games well
It may show/have these systems but doesn’t mean the hardware can run these games well. I’ve built custom pcs running batocera, emuelec, retrobat, and some using hyperspin. Most of these little game boxes they put together in China aren’t powerful enough. People are better off getting an older pc with ok graphics card and adding batocera onto it. Then just download all the Roms.
its easy to build you self what is only time consuming is grabbing xbox 360 roms and ps2 ps1 big games that you need to extract to you folder. but i love launchbox/bigbox i have lifetime licences and on emumovies aswel in launchbox you can add all systems to you don't need retrobat or playnite launchbox/bigbox is just fine. i even have alot switch games i add them all my self instead of letting someone doing it.
As someone mentioned below, a full size PC that’s got the horse power to be able to run every game library would be ideal. However, unless you waste your life away playing video games 24/7, having "every game" is overkill. I think it makes more sense to just "have the capability" to have complete libraries for all systems up through current gen. If I ever buy one of those huge storage devices you've covered I guarantee there is going to be a TON of games that get deleted from 5th gen and beyond for a number of reasons; storage being towards the top of that list. I am also not a fan of the garbage that's been coming out much of the last decade or so, even thought are some golden nuggets here and there. Considering the majority of society doesn't understand what the phrase "front end" or a word like "bios" even mean, something like this is what most people would want and I can't fault them for that. The issue that I continually hear when talking to anyone in daily life is that most of them are unaware of people like Drew that find the gems with no hassle and are worth buying so they just end up getting garbage from Amazon or Alibaba which end up broken and in the garbage. The only reason I'm familiar with any of these terms is due to buying a loaded Raspberry Pi 3b+ back in 2017 but by no means am I an expert as you can't learn this stuff by yourself overnight. The Pi (which I still have and use) was so loaded with doubles I forced myself after work for a month straight cleaning it up, fixing all the spaces_between_words and other nonsense that comes with these downloads. It's just a lot of nonsense that most people don't want to, nor should they have to deal with and I think more people should consider these types of machines and stop worrying about the so called "piracy" issue for games that haven't been sold "new" in retail for decade upon decades at this point. Personally, I think parents who have children should buy machines like this instead of the garbage the "big 3" are putting out and allowing to be put out from 3rd party Developers and that's even before you add in the years of unfinished games which then require internet connection with countless updates. That's ridiculous and insane that any parent would spend the amount of money on games that they do these days, instead of putting their foot down and being parents, telling their kids how it's going to be and they are LUCKY to get something that has tons of games like this (or even something like I have with my Pi 3+) instead of just being a doormat. This was a rant but it's aimed at all the SJWs that think virtue signalling is going to get them anywhere. The point of what I am saying here is that what people like Drew are doing is valuable and COULD potentially save people THOUSANDS of dollars they already can't really afford to splurge. Love what I said or hate it -- it matters not to me, but when these companies are towing the line and throwing it in your faces YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY and so many people are still happily slaving themselves to death to give these giant corporations their hard earned money, only to have to do it all over again because they shut down libraries or ridiculous remasters or remakes or how about splitting up one RPG into now 3 games; you ALL know what I'm talking about. There has only been one Remake I've seen that's been worth it (RE4R) and even then I'll be damned if I'm going to financially contribute to the agendas being shoved in our faces. As long as they aren't associated with these commu-facist totalitarian agendas, I think the only ones worth supporting are the indie developers. That all being said -- Drew, you're coverage of these is much appreciated. The only thing I would request is maybe a quarterly, biannual and/or a "Best of" list of what you go over throughout the year. I think that would help people who are just discovering your work here to be able to make a choice if they're looking for conveniences like this but other than that brother, keep up the amazing work!
I've seen so many advertisements about similar products like this that say it holds thousands of retro games on them. I just don't buy it. I have my own sets of gaming roms and emulators that I play on my laptop. The oldest set of gaming roms I have is from SNES and I found these on a school computer back in 2002. I have other roms and emulators as well.
@@tek8537 im guessing it could be spyware or used as a bot slave, which is pretty common with hacked systems. He is right, all these games dont need updates so you should never have to connect to wifi.
Did you find issues with GameCube games? None of mine work, and using standalone emulator doesn’t help either. Also couldn’t sign into Google Play-store to update anything, just kicked me back to the home screen.
Ahard pass! Over 300$ so hell no! A decent computer, a good ssd and your all set up. On top of that, it as been proven that most android game box are infected with malware and such. On top of that, sound quality suck big time for all of them. So im done gettting thoses.
I was wondering when we'd see a dedicated game console based on the RK3588. I've been playing with an Orange Pi 5 for about 18 months now and it's a game changer, pun intended, in the SBC world with its powerful CPU/GPU combo. It performs on par with a SnapDragon 865.
Great video as always. So I picked one up Question: can I get a case with a fan that converts the connector from the 22pin to a usb or usb-c and still be able to access the drive like through the 22pin cable connector provided?
I grew up playing most of these, and it's very cool that this is a thing, but you couldn't pay me to play any of them now lol. My eyes hurt just looking at it.
When I browse these plugs and play Android boxes--I look for Xenogears first and then move on to Chrono Cross, if they're not on, I move on to next or wait for the next new box
Hi Drew! Great channel. On the newer games - Saturn, PS2, PS1, Dreamcast, etc...do all the games come with their original music? I know in the past on lower quality consoles, the music would be left out to save space. I assume with 4TB, it should come with the music. Thanks!
@@tyronemcbg you seem to be answering people a lot faster than the uploader (although I see him answering a lot here so no hate) so I'm asking you. Does the ps2, Dreamcast or Saturn list have any noticeable drops or flaws? My finger is on the trigger to buy but if those aren't doing well, I'm not interested.
It doesn't have PC dos games, or mac games, or windows 9x games? Guessing not, and if not, is there any product/device/app that does have all those games on it?

I wouldn't want to put any sign in details to one of these type of boxes
Correct, every seagate drive ive owned has crash and burned, i now avoid these drives at all times. They are cheap for a reason, they dont last but a few years.
Imagine being concerned about this box running Netflix when it definitely has literally thousands of unlicensed games 💀💀 the irony is palpable
Who the hell would buy this for Netflix? What the hell.
@@aaronroberts8601 that was one of the points in the video was to use this as your main tv box as well as having the games.
Can you imagine microsoft and sony sold these as expansions for your series and ps5s
Thank you for providing the code and review for this system. I got mine this week and my favorite PS2 games are working good at 2.50x resolution. Is it possible you can help with instructions on how to add games to the hard drive?
can you easily pull roms from this console
Thanks for the vid, quick question, is the hard drive not enclosed within the console? Did you say that I’d have to buy a separate enclosure?
It's literally plug n play?
@drewtalks are you able to save progress for every game you play? Also once i buy this is easy to track from kinhank to my door? Im very nervous about spending that much to a foreign entity. Please reply and let me know and I'll purchase with your coupon. Thanks
Yes you can save, they give you a dhl tracking number usually
Another question on this: the games are already installed, legit? Like, you don’t need to download? “Plug and play” I’ve found is a very loose description. Just want to confirm. Thanks. Loved the video.
It's all ready to go.
Does this thing come with the hard drive and controller or are they both sold separately Thanx
Together my man!
Ordered, hopefully it works with no issues.
How is it?
I ordered one today using your code what hard drive enclosure do you recommend for the 4tb hd? I was looking on amaazon couldn't decide.
this one is pricier but i have personally used it many times: amzn.to/3vQnGj0
@drewtalks so this case will work with this unit? You have tried it? The sata cord plugs into the case?
I just received tgis after watching ur video. Can you help explain to me why the controller doesn’t work when trying to play gamecube or ps2 games?!
FOR RETRO ARCH, USE THE ANDROID SETTING, ITS IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. HOLD DOWN THE HOME BUTTON AND A, AND FOR PS2 AND GAMECUBE USE THW 360 SETTINGS, HOLD DOWN HOME AND THE A BUTTONS. THE CONTROLLER LIGHTS WILL CHANGE COLORS.
Oh wow! And Pegasus isn’t the easiest to setup… nice higher end list!
How to setup Pegasus? Please help
If the HDD is dropped on the floor I heard it could break and lose data I never owned one before. I have only had usb
How do you play the Wii games since they have their own wireless controllers?...I can't see sitting down for Wii games as the fun ones require movement around the area.
And a sensor bar.
I don't have a Wii but I think you can get unofficial usb adapters and drivers to make them work. All emulators support their original controllers. I use a real Dualshock 3 for my PS1, PS2 and PS3 emulation.
I bought a dolphin bar and a used wii remote with nunchuck. Works good with dolphin
They play fine but you need to go into Wii settings and go wireless game controller mode (dolphin emulator)
I feel like I'm missing something here. When did doing this become so legal that this can be sold on Amazon? How does that work?
looks cool if you just want to connect to a tv and play the playstation 2 games you missed. Sadly for me, i grew up with ps2 and i only got a few ps3 games left i want to play.
I already got a computer that has every game catalogue.
This is great if you dont got a computer with a frontend and just need to hookup and play quickly.
I’m getting a extreme gaming Oc can you tell me how can I get stuff like you did I like final fantasy 8 and such
Hi Drew thanks for your videos i just ordered the pro5X and id love to know if i could hook up a PSP guitar to Play guitar hero or usb guitar and id love to see a video from you showing how to convert the controller for gamecube - wii - switch and other consoles that needs it. Explaining step by step every details to do so 😊🇨🇦
Thanks 4 reviewing! Would purchase at $200 or less. Not a penny more, though.
What is the advantage to this machine verses their $150 super machine? The descriptions on their website are vague for someone like me. the cheaper machines advertise more games for less money.
@drew talks I got this the ps2 games load but controller doesn’t work at all any idea how to fix this?
turn off touch screen in settings in aesther x2
@@jaredanderson5588 I actually figured this out the controller has 3 modes (wired red ,blue wireless,purple for ps2 using home button and a)
Just got the X5 pro but game cube and Wii games won’t open. Can anyone offer some suggestions on how to fix this issue? Thanks in advance
check the dolphin emulator, should be on the main apps screen
I bought the $300 12TB one and STILL had to add 2 games that it didn't have. 102,000 games but it didn't have NHL Hitz 2002 or Punch-Out (Wii Version).
Does that 12tb have the PS2 library that this one has?
@@ryankonishi1547 yeah it's massive. 640 PS2 games, 1788 PS1, pretty much full catalogs for most systems. Worth the money to me.
this is all new to me does this have arcade games like Punisher or the Alien vs predator games that were in arcades only? Also i take it there are no ps3 and above generations?@@ryankonishi1547
@@TehBoaz you're referring to one of the prior videos - 12 TB Gaming Hard Drive Has Every Game Ever NEW UPDATED! -- correct? I've been biding my time on which route I'm going to go. I was reading the comments on that one and they said much of the same things as here regarding giving out any pertinent info.
For me, that 96 TB from KrisKool that Drew covered, which included all kinds of current PC games -- I think might be too much and I wouldn't even know where to begin. The other one he covered that was 32 TB from Hyper Arcade Systems, I think I could handle that. What it really comes down to for me is not having any issues that I am going to have to trouble shoot my way around. I haven't even figured out my Raspberry Pi 3B+ all the way yet so if I ran into problems with systems that are far more advanced, I'd be throwing in the towel.
I saw people in the comments of both of those videos talking about "issues" with the larger one for the PC games and while I like the idea, it's all about how it runs. If the 32 TB is put together better, I'm sure there's plenty I could get rid of for storage and IF I wanted said modern PC games I could find them somewhere on some "archive". I'm in no rush but I'm certainly looking at those two.
Since Drew covers machines like this and the Raspberry Pi 5 just came out I'm sure they would hold me over for another decade just fine. It's just a matter of the storage not failing as there's always going to be machines that can run them nowadays.
He reviewed the one in the link it comes with the 4tb HDD so if you bought the 12 TB one it has way more than that
Is this a simple plug and play into the tv?
Like don't need to do anything with a computer? (I don't have a computer).
Also do I need a adaptor since I live in the United Kingdom?
And where do I get one?
Notice that they
Avoid your simple question? I DID!!! $300 is a lot of money!
Emulation is the way to go.
Hiw many of you have had any controller issues with the emulators? I hear that's an issue with some of these listings for the x5 pro.
a bit,you will have to map out the gamecube and ps 2 controllers, but it was easy once i looked up how. everything else is in the instructions that come with it.
No one needs a 4Tb game console, all you got to do is get you a mini PC about 500 GB and put emulators on it! That way you can put the games that you want! But I do love your channel!!
What mini pc do you recommend ?
Any mini PC that's clocked above 3.5 ghz should get you. But don't buy that
@@chaseman94minisforum or beelink seem to be the industry leader for mini pc's
If I want to use my own 2 stick console instead of the controller that comes with it, will I be able to map it to this system?
yes
Saw someone online saying the performance was not great for the higher end systems
This support up to PS2 so which higher up Systems are you talking about,it shows Switch and I can definitely tell you I doubt this will run Switch Games well
It may show/have these systems but doesn’t mean the hardware can run these games well. I’ve built custom pcs running batocera, emuelec, retrobat, and some using hyperspin. Most of these little game boxes they put together in China aren’t powerful enough. People are better off getting an older pc with ok graphics card and adding batocera onto it. Then just download all the Roms.
its easy to build you self what is only time consuming is grabbing xbox 360 roms and ps2 ps1 big games that you need to extract to you folder. but i love launchbox/bigbox i have lifetime licences and on emumovies aswel in launchbox you can add all systems to you don't need retrobat or playnite launchbox/bigbox is just fine. i even have alot switch games i add them all my self instead of letting someone doing it.
As someone mentioned below, a full size PC that’s got the horse power to be able to run every game library would be ideal. However, unless you waste your life away playing video games 24/7, having "every game" is overkill. I think it makes more sense to just "have the capability" to have complete libraries for all systems up through current gen. If I ever buy one of those huge storage devices you've covered I guarantee there is going to be a TON of games that get deleted from 5th gen and beyond for a number of reasons; storage being towards the top of that list. I am also not a fan of the garbage that's been coming out much of the last decade or so, even thought are some golden nuggets here and there.
Considering the majority of society doesn't understand what the phrase "front end" or a word like "bios" even mean, something like this is what most people would want and I can't fault them for that. The issue that I continually hear when talking to anyone in daily life is that most of them are unaware of people like Drew that find the gems with no hassle and are worth buying so they just end up getting garbage from Amazon or Alibaba which end up broken and in the garbage.
The only reason I'm familiar with any of these terms is due to buying a loaded Raspberry Pi 3b+ back in 2017 but by no means am I an expert as you can't learn this stuff by yourself overnight. The Pi (which I still have and use) was so loaded with doubles I forced myself after work for a month straight cleaning it up, fixing all the spaces_between_words and other nonsense that comes with these downloads.
It's just a lot of nonsense that most people don't want to, nor should they have to deal with and I think more people should consider these types of machines and stop worrying about the so called "piracy" issue for games that haven't been sold "new" in retail for decade upon decades at this point.
Personally, I think parents who have children should buy machines like this instead of the garbage the "big 3" are putting out and allowing to be put out from 3rd party Developers and that's even before you add in the years of unfinished games which then require internet connection with countless updates. That's ridiculous and insane that any parent would spend the amount of money on games that they do these days, instead of putting their foot down and being parents, telling their kids how it's going to be and they are LUCKY to get something that has tons of games like this (or even something like I have with my Pi 3+) instead of just being a doormat.
This was a rant but it's aimed at all the SJWs that think virtue signalling is going to get them anywhere. The point of what I am saying here is that what people like Drew are doing is valuable and COULD potentially save people THOUSANDS of dollars they already can't really afford to splurge.
Love what I said or hate it -- it matters not to me, but when these companies are towing the line and throwing it in your faces YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY and so many people are still happily slaving themselves to death to give these giant corporations their hard earned money, only to have to do it all over again because they shut down libraries or ridiculous remasters or remakes or how about splitting up one RPG into now 3 games; you ALL know what I'm talking about. There has only been one Remake I've seen that's been worth it (RE4R) and even then I'll be damned if I'm going to financially contribute to the agendas being shoved in our faces. As long as they aren't associated with these commu-facist totalitarian agendas, I think the only ones worth supporting are the indie developers.
That all being said -- Drew, you're coverage of these is much appreciated. The only thing I would request is maybe a quarterly, biannual and/or a "Best of" list of what you go over throughout the year. I think that would help people who are just discovering your work here to be able to make a choice if they're looking for conveniences like this but other than that brother, keep up the amazing work!
If that was a rant it was the most educated spot on rants I have ever heard. Cheers and you are intelegent .
I've seen so many advertisements about similar products like this that say it holds thousands of retro games on them. I just don't buy it. I have my own sets of gaming roms and emulators that I play on my laptop. The oldest set of gaming roms I have is from SNES and I found these on a school computer back in 2002. I have other roms and emulators as well.
Im sorry for the really dumb questions. but can you save games? and do you need to buy anything else to get it to run
And does it include early NES, Sega, and Atari consoles?
yes early stuff is easy to get it’s the ps2,Saturn,Dreamcast,Wii,GameCube that need the more space
I saw this for under 200 on AliExpress,for this price it’s not to bad.
a lot of people are selling the computer only not paired with the 4tb hard drive, make sure you check what is included!
Nice performance but I would never put this on my home network.
What would be the risks, and could they be secured? I've been looking a new android box and raspberry pi replacement this seems perfect.
@@tek8537 not sure if they can be secured, it must be a custom image of android and god knows who supports it (updates, sec. updates and etc)
@@tek8537 im guessing it could be spyware or used as a bot slave, which is pretty common with hacked systems. He is right, all these games dont need updates so you should never have to connect to wifi.
@@tek8537 these Android boxes are loaded with questionable apps from China. Could easily have malware on them. Using without Internet would be fine.
Did you find issues with GameCube games? None of mine work, and using standalone emulator doesn’t help either. Also couldn’t sign into Google Play-store to update anything, just kicked me back to the home screen.
Ahard pass! Over 300$ so hell no!
A decent computer, a good ssd and your all set up.
On top of that, it as been proven that most android game box are infected with malware and such.
On top of that, sound quality suck big time for all of them.
So im done gettting thoses.
For your PC build, what front end do you use?
Why do these never have SmackDown!?
I was wondering when we'd see a dedicated game console based on the RK3588. I've been playing with an Orange Pi 5 for about 18 months now and it's a game changer, pun intended, in the SBC world with its powerful CPU/GPU combo. It performs on par with a SnapDragon 865.
Great video as always. So I picked one up Question: can I get a case with a fan that converts the connector from the 22pin to a usb or usb-c and still be able to access the drive like through the 22pin cable connector provided?
How's the boot time? I have one of their Android boxes with the skull logo that lights up and it takes forever to boot up.
TAKES ABOUT 2 MINS
No Dreamcast is a bummer. Would easily get for Dreamcast alone...
Great collection awesome 👍😎
How do you start playing PS2, GameCube and Wii games with the controller?
Does this have the amiga systems on ? If not can you add them after you buy it?
Are there any recommended light guns/blasters? Also, do you have any videos on how to configure them with this console?
I have the system hooked up and I hit the pegasus icon and it says no games found :( ...please help
MAKE SURE THE HAD DRIVE IS CONNECTED CORRECTLY.
HARD DRIVE
Does the X5 system have the arcade game "Rolling Thunder"?
Stock PS2 collection here is 99% perfect…just seems to be missing Killzone…no biggy tho.
Would've liked to see Wrestling games for the PS2.
Just got the super console x7 max hope it’s what I’m looking for
nice!
I don't know why he hesitant in showing the performance, that chip is RK-2588, it can run Nintendo switch like taking candy from a baby
Correction, RK3588
Been waiting for a emulation device with ps2 games.
I grew up playing most of these, and it's very cool that this is a thing, but you couldn't pay me to play any of them now lol. My eyes hurt just looking at it.
Thanks again 🙏
When new ROMs are found can they be added to the unit?
When I browse these plugs and play Android boxes--I look for Xenogears first and then move on to Chrono Cross, if they're not on, I move on to next or wait for the next new box
@drewtalks will new indie games run on it like Shredders revenge or like cuphead?
Hi Drew! Great channel. On the newer games - Saturn, PS2, PS1, Dreamcast, etc...do all the games come with their original music? I know in the past on lower quality consoles, the music would be left out to save space. I assume with 4TB, it should come with the music. Thanks!
Yes. They are the full roms.
@@tyronemcbg you seem to be answering people a lot faster than the uploader (although I see him answering a lot here so no hate) so I'm asking you. Does the ps2, Dreamcast or Saturn list have any noticeable drops or flaws? My finger is on the trigger to buy but if those aren't doing well, I'm not interested.
Yes
@@tyronemcbgare these multi player friendly? And how does saving work with sports games? Would hate to have to restart seasons every time
It doesn't have PC dos games, or mac games, or windows 9x games? Guessing not, and if not, is there any product/device/app that does have all those games on it?
Can those side bars be removed to show a full screen aspect during games ?
Finally I got a new classic game !!!!
Dang ps2 didn’t have the WWF smackdown games
How well is the controller configured to play games from separate consoles? Ie gamesir is like playstation, how is it configured for gamecube, etc.
Like your content my Guy 👍👏
Can you use a series s/X controller on this without issue?
