ANOTHER Gamestick Review:
The SF-900 Game Stick 🙃 Review
ruclips.net/video/Kwa1K2aq4oM/видео.html
I just bought this for 17€ included delivering 👍
It's perfect
thats what im saying it so good
I live in China and got it for $9 on taobao. I use it in my grade 6 last friday class to let the kids unwind on the big screen computer. It's really great for them.
Hey, in just wondering, someone in the comments said it ruining her tv. Like the screen just turn blue. How is that possible
Guys, don’t forget to set the TV in gaming mode. The latency might be due to the image post processing the TV CPU does in order to get the best image possible
Yep. This guy on the video definitely doesn’t get that. Just enjoys to be negative it seems
Didn’t happen with the other gamestick that I’ve reviewed. And as for enjoying being negative, if My experience has been anything but negative then definitely the review is going to be based on that. That’s how reviews work unfortunately.
You got the old version. The one that works great and it's really worth the money is the Gamestick X2 plus GD10. The box is basically the same but instead of green lines it has red ones.
It has a better processor and it's priced around 20-30€ here in Europe. Try that one and bin the one with the green box.
The recent one that I have reviewed was a solid gamestick, very very cheap but only plays Snes games. But they play really well. The one you mentioned, I checked it out a couple of days back. I’ll look into it.
@@DrBrute7Oh and I forgot to mention that the controllers that come with the GD10 are way better too, the direction buttons can be press independently like the ones in the official controllers.
if controller breaks can i connect any other usb A or bt controller?
@@Rr-j4x yeah any controller with a USB dongle Bluetooth will work, for example a Xbox 360 controller or any unofficial one coming with a USB dongle
Hi
Which website can I get it?
Worked fine for me. Likes of Aladdin, Lion King, Mortal Kombat, Streets of Rage, Lemmings etc. I haven't played every game but it's fine for the money we paid.
No it’s not fine. Just because it costed less doesn’t make it a passable product & that’s the point of product reviews. If you’re finding it good, good for you. The latency issue with the controllers along with poor emulation defeats the experience. And these lacklustre products are advertised by a lot of 3rd parties for over $30,50 or even more. That’s basically scamming at that point.
Hello how did you get it to work on Fire LG TV cause my one is not working iam having issues. Would appreciate it get back asap thank you.
Does it have X-men the arcade game
I paid 27 for it.its ok for gba emulation nothing else.@@DrBrute7
@@DrBrute7use your own controller wired
Love the commentary. I was cracking up the whole time. Subbed!
Thanks for the review bro, you just saved me a bunch o money.
Am glad I was of help.
Same, thanks for the review, glad I didn't buy one. I still want something like this though. Is there a decent one like this that doesn't have lag?
Seems like all of them have the lag. Any out there of better quality? Will check them out in 2024, see if any improvements.
This one.
THIS SNES Gamestick IS WHACK- 4K gamestick SF900 🙃 Review
ruclips.net/video/Kwa1K2aq4oM/видео.html
Where did you connect the micro usb receiver dongle for controllers? To the stick itself or will it work in another usb female port? Thanks! =).
Yeah you put that into the main device and it needs a USB plug to power up
To the game stick
Oh god, I've seen ads of this thing all over Twitter during the holiday season. The phrase "This is the craziest thing I've seen all year!" is burned into my brain.
Don’t forget the part where they “carefully” throw their ps5’s in the garbage 🗑️
The problem is your device is attached on the back of the TV. There is a lot of interference that way. If you want the best results consider using a male female hdmi cable and expose the device to look directly into the controller
That’s not the problem, the real problem is it’s a shit device. I used another gamestick & it worked like a charm. This is just a garbage pos
For the price it's not bad at all! What do you expect 😅
Alright 👍
Got this similar pack the other day for 5 euros. But for a life of me I can't figure it out how to enable the gamepads. I turn it on (it uses USB cable to power it on, then the main menu boots up right away but none of the controllers seem to link up even tho the lights do turn on. I plan on reselling this and if it sells I will buy more due to a cheap source, but this gamepad issue is bugging me.
I read somewhere that these gamepads work on PC too but what some other person told me I find it hard to believe since these are made for different devices not PC. But one day I will have to try with few softwares that might enable them and emulators too, to see if it's true or not ...
If they work on PC emulation then I might just sell these gamepads separately and move on from trying to figure them out on the "4K stick" why they don't link up ...
maybe if u use a different controller or something like a cheap wired controller to connect to the stick i wonder if that will solves the issue.
The zooming is because these games were designed for the 4:3 TV/ screen aspect. The emulators have to zoom in to fill in the new widescreen TVs fully.
I’ve used other devices on my tv, they weren’t this bad. The settings for this stick was horribly done.
@@DrBrute7on to your opinion which one should buy please advice I am from India
Hi how do i get to work on Fire LG TV i had problems thanks.
Should be just plug & play like how I’ve demonstrated. If it’s not working then maybe try a different hdmi cable or the gamestick is defective.
Got mine with 20K games for 19€ and it's pretty awesome. The controllers are cheap, but can be easily replaced.
How do you replace it?
Please tell me
@@whyiea I just replaced the little USB dongle with the one that came with my NPlay controler and it works
I bought a similar stick. Junk. The upside? The two controllers work with my raspberry pi running retropie😊
You can plug usb into the tv usb on side of tv doesnt need a plug
How to make games to not lagging?
Was the Original Resident Evil Trilogy 1 - 3 games on this device please thanks
I don’t know. The horrendous experience didn’t make me want to check out the games list on this device.
ok, I can understand your review on this. Do we have any better options not so much more expensive??
You can check this out,

There’s also another one I have in mind, just need to order & try it out first.
Excuse me, are there any metal slug games there? Before I buy
Almost all of them.
My controllers worked then the game would randomly shut off. I connected it to a high peak max projector and stopped working, then when trying to turn back on the controllers they would blink red and green. Can I pair this retro stick with other controllers ? Thanks so much
To be honest I don’t know. Since there is an adapter then maybe you can get similar controllers which uses bluetooth adapters to work. I literally threw mine away after I was done testing it & finishing up the review.
At least yours started. Mine just had a loading screen.
How can go out from a game to the main manual
can u connect the controllers to ur pc without needing the console?
What game is the background music from in your intro? I know I know it but I can’t think right now.
Blaster Master
@@DrBrute7That’s it! Thanks
I am thinking I should've spent those ten dollars on food 😂
Man.. it works great and I'm enjoying all my favorite games from WWF Arcade, Robocop, Bad Dudes, The Simpson, Ghost n Goblins, Golden Axe, X Men. Tecmo Bowl, Ken Griffy Jr, Sunset riders. Well worth it for 20 bucks from Temu
Good for you! I enjoyed it too, after getting rid of it.
Lemmings, desert strike urban jungle,crash trilogy.all play ok.
I am dying 😂 lol best review ever
Man I have an Xbox controller and it will not connect using usb or Bluetooth no one is showing how to actually connect it smh
I got it for Mike Tyson's Punch Out!
I got this love it an I am a PC gamer this is great , comes with it its great
I'm happy with mine there are those few games that lag but it's good to use if you passing time or have family over for entertainment. Games like Shinobi, Bad Dude vs Dragon Ninja, Shadow Dancer, Michael Jackson on MAME and every SNES Game on it SUCKS.
Im confused. I got one. Sa0me box but slightly different device. Its great and less swearing as well
You have to change your tv for stop the zooming
Bruv just please don’t, am in a good mood. I don’t want to insult you.
I updated my 4k stick firmware.
it works like a beast!!
How ?
@BakLOLcouple07 yes how did you update yours?
@spider-man6947 you need to goggle your product ID number first.
there are many 4k game sticks with different ID.
How you update?
I love the commentary
Can it run N64 roms
Can I run this game stick into PC? Setup,pls...
Think about it. The HDMI ports on PC's are outputs not inputs. Perhaps you can do it indirectly through a video capture device. But that would be a far too complex setup for a plug and play device like this one.
@@chrichtonsworld1ohh, maybe thats why i cant use it on my pc
I was laughing the whole time watching you messing up with the game. 🤣😂🤣
🥲🥲 am glad atleast one of us had fun.
It has atari 2600 games?
Awesome review😂. So can you advise some other device?

0:01 TIIIIIIMMMMMBBBBBEEERERRRRR!
Is it worth it for around 25 USD ?
There’s plenty of upgraded versions of this available now. So you can take a shot at those.
Belro i dont see any lag or something 😅
Man, I've been seeing ads of this thing, wondered if it was any good, hahaha glad i held off, might go for a rg405v or a loki zero
theres couple version of this, get the one m8 its got control settings
I got one. It worked the first time. A couple hours later i went to play again and all i got was the loading screen. 89 dollars out the window. Dont buy this. Its trash
$89? Ouch 😓
For my little brother its ok but i dont like on my Game stick 4K lite slight different than that by look you,cant save games and every game is on chineese even if i put it on English its impossible to play story mode games for real
Yeah it’s not a well made product.
I got this shit on temu promotion with other crap for 8 usd🤣🤣🤣🤣junky but just the 2 wireless controllers is worth it
I have this and it's great
1 second input delay great product
The slight delay its probably due to you recording😅
Yes definitely that’s the reason. Me recording through an external source is definitely interfering with the wireless signal.
Everyone maybe forgot the receiver💀
Did it have pokemon?
dont talk crap papi,this stick works fine,ordered 2 years ago still works.
Of course it works. It works like a sandpaper being scraped on a dog’s ass.
My friend at least provide an alternative. For me giving 30 euros for all these all games plus ps1 games with just plug and play on my pc sounds fair price. And please don't suggest retropie or anything I can't be arsed to mod or configure or basically do anything other than at least putting my own ROMS and play them
There are several alternatives that are available & I’ve different alternative retro consoles that I have reviewed & posted on my channel. I even have a pinned link here to another gamestick that I’ve reviewed. You need to check buddy. And if you think this is a worthy device go ahead by all means. There are different alternatives of these gamesticks available now, at the time of me reviewing this the versions available were choppy & shitty like this one for the majority. And what’s the point of plug & play if you can’t even play properly. My review is done, I’ve shared my experience. Do what you must do.
Omg! The clicking and the skipping!
I just got it in India from a Shop in just $18. And in this price i think this is the best gaming stick u can give to your children if you cant afford expensive gaming console. . . . . I think this man had any personal issues with this gaming stick 😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂
You’re right, I started getting personal issues after experiencing the horrendous framerates & lags. But to each their own. Power & blessings to your kid, he’s going to need it. And for $18 there’s way better alternatives. But you already chose yours. Happy gaming.. ? I guess.
Actually I'm feeling that only few games of ps1 are lagging because they are running through emulator. . . .like bloody roar2 tekken 3, soul blade. . Other game not lagging like sonic cat, Pepsi man etc. . but I really feel that it's a good deal. Because they are providing 2 wireless remote, 1 64gb SD card. HDMI extand cable etc
Well man, if you’re liking it then that’s all that matters.
This is useless, they won’t give you all of your money back if you try to refund it, also, the sonic games I wanna play are laggy even though they run just fine for the flipping original hardware I play it ON! The fact that most games are just romhacks and not the real deal is even more scummy. Also, where’s the variety? Where’s N64? Dreamcast? DS? More GBA Games would be nice.
gose to show not all plug in and play emulators aren't all was created as equal
Is my same problem
i guess its better to put Retro arch on my phone plug a controller and mirror the image to my smart TV hhhhhhh cheaper, bc i already have everything and the performance will probably be way better too lmfao
I think the problem is that you hate the person that gave you for free. This is no longer about the product, being more personal 😂
I think the problem is your attention span is like a 2 year old. I paid for the product with my own money.
I just got this crap today.. Tomorrow im returning this useless thing..
Great decision. Hope you got your money back.
Hahaha bruh 😅
I bought it for $45 AUD and instantly I was embarrassed. I sent them back for refund right away. Its true this is a bad deal and a total scam. Moreover, its never about money lesser or more but about your emotions.
Wow
I got it for 18 heheh
In the world wrestling federation anything is possible
This crack my damshit childhood games hahahaha
Driver sound weird coz he talk in 20fps. old cheap tec in gamestick dont support ps1. Probly best try is to trash all the roms and add new and hope they work. If you still want to play ps1 you should try the early games made to the system.
i'd buy it just to play Pokemon Red
Can you recomend a decent one?
Check my pinned comment.
You can play PacMan, Zelda etc... DOOM forget it!
Leg delay can't playable why innocent people fooling 😡🤬
The whole complete package just cost you $20 only . What do you expect
I expect it to work. Just because it costed less doesn’t mean it should get a pass on the review factor.
@@DrBrute7 Exactly
It's a pos
My biggest issue was the controller its shit. Jams on right direction all the time. Only paid 13 pound but pointless good arcade emulation when its impossible to do moves on fighting games. Sega runs ok.
My controllers either don’t work or blink green and red … can I pair other controllers with this retro game stick ?
You're evil it's actually good
This shit is perfect for its price. Did you really think youll get something amazing for something that costs 25$?
Then go play with your perfect piece of shit 😂 And yes I did actually. But since you’re so satisfied with this garbage then there’s no point in furthering this discussion. ✌️
24 version is better and update graphic and sound
49$🥵
In Pakistan its price is 13$
There's almost no PlayStation 1 games
What the hell is this I order it game stick😮😮
Buy X2 game stick instead has 700 PS1 games this has 70
I wasted my money already, stupid device..I had encounter same issue
I bought it. Just to piss you off.
This thing is absolute junk. Near every damn game in the collection lags.
Just got mine. Absolute trash. Unusable laggy control
Seriously I have the samthing but all the games is not on their Seriously.
I tried to type in streets of rage but it's not on their
How to exit it ??
Throw it out of the window
Is only for the poor people and you know not too rich and not poor people Beacuse we cant buy psp ps5
Nintendo etc.
I played it , too lag , shit control to play , waste money.
This is not original game console
Foes it have god of war
Chinese lying and lazily producing a poor product? Whats new.
Stop yapping it is an old game
I’ll stop once your mum is done sucking mine off. Gotta get my 5pence’s worth.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
AGREED ITS RUBBISH
