to all those who think these sort of things are a waste of money. I bought a 4tb hyperspin, not to play the games on the drive but to provide me with shed loads of roms and all the system bios. then build your own with just the stuff you want. trust me, navigating through 80,000 games is hard work and probably better to have your own favourites of a dozen or so per emulated system. also, if the websites ever get taken down, you still have the master drive to plunder whatever you need
Agree, playing on the drive often leads to the games temporarily freezing or slowing down and the emus are often outdated, the drive is better for storage.
Buy the 12Tb drive. You will never run out of games put the best systems and games on a another drive. That's what I m doing. I don't want any gameboy, commodore, jaguar games or others
I made a retrobat drive similar to this and removed duplicates and hacks then heavily curated what was left. Ended up with just over 10k games on a 1TB drive, fully scraped. Probably gonna have to update it with more stuff at some point. Great vid btw.
@@paulkendrick4153 No, but if you can find 1TB of free upload space...Arcade Punks do something similar and have free downloads for members but I made my own as I wasn't happy with what they offered.
Probably makes more sense for people to collate the roms themselves and develop a deeper understanding of emulation. After all most people have their favourite games and systems and don't need a list of 10,000+ games even if they do want to discover some new games.
I need more then 3 TB on my Xbox series X PS5 don’t care about old consoles that much they shouldn’t require a lot of space to install the new games on Xbox series X PS5 PC play amazing
For under a $100 bucks this is actually a decent collection. I wouldn't mind buying this and transferring all these roms to my Retroid Pocket 4. I'm curious if I can get Hyperspin for my retroid.
Problem is they are trying to cater for a broad spectrum of buyers. So not a totally bad thing and if you can customise it easily through the menus then totally fine by that
Hi there new subscriber here. nice Review! Is Mugen collection on this particular drive? I just saw a video on the 12TB drive 5 in 1 that just released which includes MUGEN collection. The problem is that I don’t want to cash out $300 for the 12TB 5 in one, just for the collection when I can order this one for a few hundreds less. Thanks in advance!
Hello friend, I bought exactly that same disk, I updated the Play Station 3 emulator, rpcs3 and now it does not load the games, please help me, upload the emulator to mega or mediafire in rar or zip, it weighs about seven gigabytes, I would greatly appreciate it , I don't have the money to buy another hard drive again, thank you very much.
All i can say is malware, malware, malware. Then when you return a drive they say they didn't get it. Luckily sent it trackable by USPS. Quite a shady company (they also changed the mailing label instructions) 2 days after I sent it back. Can't make this stuff up. :)
@@OfficialChaseBroganI did and a Virus dude, you are being given them without malware and viruses to market the rubbish. As a gamer you must stop reviewing this rubbish, when you know you can get these roms for nothing
Ive bought 3 of these drives from China - a 3tb (not this one), a 5tb, and the recent 12tb drive. They all had malware. I scanned with 2 different virus programs to clean the drives and they are all good now.
Question: RGG I hear you talk about batocera are you able to use this with Kinhank hyperspin or do you require windows? Or can you use Batocera on flash drive and or Hard drive?
hi, need some help, here,, I just got the 12tb retro HD , using the same HyperSpin program - currently using my Gaming PC on this setup , seem not able to run some emulators ,like Yu-Nintendo, and saturn, got NO Idea why, i also got a 4tb retro HD that Retro Gaming Guy recommended ,and it worked great on my other med gaming mini pc, ran Yu-Nintendo and dreamcast no problem , so please let me know , how to fix this issue of mine, thank you so much
its awesome you will love it I have the 12tb kinhank and have not even got close to playing all the games yet but I have notice there are alot of duplicates and the lightgun games don't work but if I had to recommend one to buy go with hyperarcade systems it has a autoinstall wizard that sets everything up for you really and it comes with updates and you can talk to the seller directly
Curious about the malware everyone is claiming. Emulators come back as malware on virus scanning software... What exact malware files are people seeing?
For that price, you cant really complain too much. Is it possible to pull the roms off of the drive to populate a Batocera system. I was just wondering
@@leelee7334 Cool, I might just order this thing, I already have a ton of roms, but they must not be named right, ecspecially the ones for the older systems, because they wont screen scrape for anything. I like the stuff to look pretty, lol. I am a little OCD
Its a shame this is a mess. Have had other Chinese HDDs that I just tidy up. Getting this and will back it up and tidy it and add my stuff also. Still better hours of trying to find Roms
I always wonder why these drives catch a lot of flack for duplicates let’s say that there’s only 40,000 games. That’s still $200,000 dollars worth of games and more hours of entertainment then you have hours left in your life🤷♂️ drop your $300 and live your life
Please Do Not Buy, I got done with nearly £400 bucks altogether, it’s rubbish and tat, you can get everything online yourself , mod your consoles or do Launch Box .
Fellow gamers /-- do not buy !!! 80,000 is overkill !! We don’t know if most work. Many can be in Japanese or Chinese. Several reasons not to buy !!! Don’t ever be swayed because of high numbers. !!! Video should have been way longer since this had 80,000 games . Lots of bloat !!!!

Would you sell a copy ?

Good that you tried it before I buy :)
It would be nice if you also told us the spec of the PC you have the drive connected too so we can compare to what we have.
I am a tad nervous as my first AliExpress Kinhank Crap the bed, fortunately I had backed it up on another drive...
Wow you are a member of his channel and he didn’t even respond to your comment
This is going to be good. I can't wait to watch. Folk, will be right back!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Grab a Slim Jim...ooohyeah!!! Doesn't work for me brother....Another awesome review.
For under a $100 bucks this is actually a decent collection. I wouldn't mind buying this and transferring all these roms to my Retroid Pocket 4. I'm curious if I can get Hyperspin for my retroid.
Can such devices be connected directly to the TV or must it be on the computer only?
Cool video. Does this have the arcade version of NBA Showtime or NFL Blitz?
I think the arcade had the gold version of these both

What is the best plug n play one u recommend thatcgose up to ps3 n 360
I am looking for a drive with newer games only ps3, ps4, xbox 360, switch games. Which one should I get

I didn't have malware on mine but I still don't give it a thumbs up
@@OfficialChaseBrogan I don't know about this one but the 12 TB drive had 9 different malwares and sounded like a refurb a lot of rattling sounds
@@OfficialChaseBroganI did and a Virus dude, you are being given them without malware and viruses to market the rubbish.

@@atfarmerbrownNot even working and full of viruses and most of the AAA titles do not work, I have contacted Kinhanh he does nothing .

Have you showed the 3d0 games yet ?
Question: RGG I hear you talk about batocera are you able to use this with Kinhank hyperspin or do you require windows? Or can you use Batocera on flash drive and or Hard drive?
Bayocera can go on any type of drive. It's Linux based. KinHank has used batocera before but usually they she's windows not Linux
@@OfficialChaseBrogan So if I was to download Batocera and turn a windows pc into a Batocera pc kinhank hd will still work?
Let's go another new drive!! 💕
Yep!

22:15 instant no buy from me, especially after all the other stuff youve gone through
The same thing is done on their 12tb hyperspin drive with the xbox collection
I like these hard drive reviews. BTW The link to Aliexpress doesnt work. Great channel Mr Gaming Guy!
Thanks! I checked the link and it works for me. Sometimes different location are blocked for some reason.
@@OfficialChaseBrogan You are right. Sweden over here:)
I bought it but I can't connect my Xbox control on Playnite Fullscreen can anyone help me???
Amazing collection 🎉❤
Looks junk
Can it plug on tv aswell or just pc? Very cool 😎
Could you play some Gamewatch Games? The one that I specifically like is the Tiger Electronics Batman Game Watch…
I just bought the 12tb version!!! Haven't set it up yet!!!
its awesome you will love it I have the 12tb kinhank and have not even got close to playing all the games yet but I have notice there are alot of duplicates and the lightgun games don't work but if I had to recommend one to buy go with hyperarcade systems it has a autoinstall wizard that sets everything up for you really and it comes with updates and you can talk to the seller directly
Can you play it in your TV?
I have found with some of these games duplicated, as you may click on one,and not work, but the 2 or 3 may well work
How about a ready to go ANDROID emulation station IMAGE ready to go so people on their phones can enjoy old school cool?
Or is the Xbox games just set to the Wrong emulator, or just using PS2 controller as controls setting, so directing you to wrong image?
Can't even imagine playing games on a gaming machine😢
How much was it and what mini pc does it work with?
I bought the 12t and in some of the games, i'm getting insert coin and no play at all, it started in the Atari games.
I got the 12tb, omfg love it
Curious about the malware everyone is claiming. Emulators come back as malware on virus scanning software... What exact malware files are people seeing?
For that price, you cant really complain too much. Is it possible to pull the roms off of the drive to populate a Batocera system. I was just wondering
yes. You could just back them all up. I don't know about the PC games though.

Its a shame this is a mess. Have had other Chinese HDDs that I just tidy up. Getting this and will back it up and tidy it and add my stuff also. Still better hours of trying to find Roms
Can a person just go into Rocket Launcher and delete the collections you do not want and systems you may not play?
annoyingly outrun and afterburner climax don't appear in the ps3 collection in the 12tb version.
Looks like “Family Guy” track & field 😂😂
My money is on "Duplicates" but I'm gonna watch and see XD
Glad it has 2012 olympic games
Does anyone know if you can find one of these retro game drives with USB C? I've gotten rid of everything thats not usb C. Thanks
That's why they make adapters. If you don't want to do that, then that's on you.
Can you give me a full games list bruh?
You generally won't get a list from anyone, they don't like to list each game to avoid copyright bans
Still kinda cool if its not to pricey
I always wonder why these drives catch a lot of flack for duplicates let’s say that there’s only 40,000 games. That’s still $200,000 dollars worth of games and more hours of entertainment then you have hours left in your life🤷♂️ drop your $300 and live your life
Fair enough you're not wrong at all!
Can you add more roms?
Crackdown 1 or 2 or ninja blade?
does it work in tv
I am still trying to figure out how run that hardrive on a PC.
you need to boot into your bios and select the drive as first boot device
Thats a major security beach, luckily this doesnt have malware... Oh wait
I think if its cheap it will break down quick.
Please Do Not Buy, I got done with nearly £400 bucks altogether, it’s rubbish and tat, you can get everything online yourself , mod your consoles or do Launch Box .
You can move the games to another build but it does have bugs for sure.
Emulation is the way to go.
This drive if full of duplicates its crazy
Its ALSO BAD WHEN THEY HAVE pc GAMES BUT SAY THEY ARE ps5 GAMES, SAME THING THERE xBOX LOADING IN ps2 VERSIONS
My Pc crashed and it gave me Viruses with the AAA titles, most do not work and the ones that do are full of malware and viruses please keep away.
Is Scarface on the ps2?
Time machine is better right???
Ps4 ?
So… At the end of the day… you think it’s just a cash grab? At the end of the day?
Please Do No Buy It’s Absolutely Rubbish, I bought two they are Tat .
Quick ... pass one this way xD
Super nintendo? I´m not see SNES...
Yeah it's there. May say super famicom I'd have to go back and check.
@@OfficialChaseBrogan thanks you, i 'm thinking buy this HDD 👍
