- I recently purchased this! This is the Kinhank 500GB Super Console. It is fantastic value for money but should you buy it?
#batocera #Kinhank #emulation #retrogaming
Ive ordered one as a backup drive for all the roms and bios. A source to get things from when needed for my already built Batocera machine on a Beelink SER 5
that's a cracking machine, im legitimately jealous coz thats what i wanted but my budget wouldnt quite stretch that far. Let me know how it is for xbox360 and ps3 emulation if you give that a try
@@Cellis2444 PS3 is pretty decent. Xbox360 is very limited. I mainly use 360 on it for the leaked 360 version of GoldenEye that never officially released. Hopefully 360 Emulation gets better.
I have one of these and one of the first things to do is clone it to an SSD, gives it a bit of a boost and its less prone to being borked than the second user platter drive thats fitted. Next get rid of all the stuff you dont want and the duplicates of which there are quite a few.
How do you do the clone?
@@j4y4re30 there are many disc backup applications that have a disc clone option, some are even free to use. 500gb can take a while tough by usb.
Update: for discreet grtaphics cards, you must update the boot config at the root of the drive. I have NVIDIA so you remove the hash # infront on enable NVIDIA driver and save the conf file. Then it completes booting into batocera.
Warning ⚠️ Batocera drives like these do not fully boot on ASUS TUF laptops! It starts up and shows the initial splash screen video, then just does nothing. It never gets to the emulator selection screen. It just stays a black screen or turns the laptop off after the intro video. I paid for two, both failed I created my own and flashed batocera directly myself to a drive and it failed to get past the intro video as well. Be forewarned these do not work on the TUF ASUS gaming laptop. FA706IH-RS53 model
Always assume the media is on the brink of failing (cheap as chips chinese source) so flash a copy of batocera onto a decent ssd, copy the games files and emulator files over, then just keep the cheap drive as backup. Also, nothing forcing you to copy all games over, so a smaller ssd is fine.
true, id personally rather make my own drive with all the games on. I thought this video would be a good idea for the more casual retro gamers
@@Cellis2444 i think there is a wide gap between casual gamers and those who build their own batocera drives. The latter is incredibly time consuming.
What is the best way to copy all the files on the hard disk to a new hard disk?
Great editing bro
Cheers pal
Emulation is the way to go.
it really is, there are so many advantages to doing it. You can keep using emulators on newer systems rather than older gaming systems becoming obsolete due to further bettering technology. Also 1 thing I love about emulation is that I am a live streamer and since I have all my emulation done through a mini pc as my daily driver (link is here is you wanna check that out ruclips.net/video/9rtIpKCgXPs/видео.html ), I dont need to have my office filled with all kinds of different consoles and cables everywhere lol
Does it have Diddy Kong racing
You didn't see any gen 1 Pokemon games because you were browsing GB color games. Red and Blue were released on the original GB and pocket 🙂
really? I had no idea lol. I had them for the GBC so probs why i made that mistake
Can i connect this thing on my TV or i Need a PC and this thing have Assassin's Creed 1?
@@seby_wgf_ita3859 it needs to be plugged into a pc
Can this be copied to the pcs regular hard drive and played?
I gave this a try, gotta say it didnt work for me
Good afternoon.
Help is needed.
I bought the same one (blue label) for 500 g.
Today in Windows all the games are in place, the disk is full.
When I boot from the disk, it says that there are only 11 games and there are no PlayStation or others at all......
Does anyone have any idea?
sadly i cant really help here, contact the seller
update games list in the main menu?
@@Cellis2444hello. Good morning Good Afternoon and Good Evening.. would you plesse reply to my comment.. so im really interested in this and i want to know how we should control this? Do we need to buy a controller? Does it come with one?? If we do need to buy a controller would you mind recommending me the cheapest and most durable and reliable one please?? Thank you.. amazing video as always!😊
@kanalok I did not have this problem, sorry. Maybe the drive has been partitioned in some way?
@seemanair3047 hello, it doesn't come with a controller but every controller I have tried has worked. The best value controller I've used with it is the Officially Licensed Power A Nintendo Switch controller. I got this for £13 which is less than $20 USD
What if you're only interested in a few games or consoles on the device. Can I get rid of the ones that I'm not interested in and replace them with other games.
@larryalmeida3267 not a clue, unfortunately. Look at my video of making your own batocera drive. That would probs be a better one for yourself as you can add your own games on
How do you use it
@@oliverwynne7957 plug it into the pc via USB and then boot into that drive in the bios
Are you able to access the roms in windows? Not play them, just copy them to another hard drive/SD card
@@JamesGreen-vg5li I tried to, I didn't have much success
@@Cellis2444 thanks, was wanting to pick one up so I didn't have to wait hours for roms to download and take up space on my hard drive
Are you able to play on the tv and also what about the controller
Does this have Mr. Do !
Sorry for asking but does it contain Silent Hill 3?
@@SlurpyPie I'm not too sure sorry
@@Cellis2444 That's all good thanks anyway bro. I'm just grateful Silent Hill 2 is on there at least so I might consider getting it.
Hi, please do you know if there is also some similar HD for android tablet? I would like to upload such a comprehensive collection to my android tablet with the same UI.
Hi I dont think there is unfortunately. i tried doing a similar project on my lenovo tablet and it didnt work
@@Cellis2444what did you try exactly & what went wrong?
I downloaded individual emulators on my Pixel & a lot of stuff runs a lot better than I expected given its only a 6a. my only stink is Google decided to leave USB-C to HDMI out!! 😤 any recent tablet should be able to do the same.
I use Daijishō as the front end which does a respectable job but it is nowhere even close to the refinement Batocera Linux is! (which is a full on gaming OS not just a pretty GUI) - managing your collection on Android is kinda a pain.
Hi I’ve a Beelink SER 7 - I’m looking a batocera hard drive, where can I get this from?
I got this off Ali Express but I'd suggest making your own. it's easy. Let me know if you havew any issues making one and ill contact6 you over discord or something
@@Cellis2444 I’ve never done it before, though I’ve seen a few how to’s. Thanks!
Can you put this in a tv ? Resident evil is on?
yo I wanna try this thing out
It's on Ali Express pal, plenty of this drive with varying sizes and games on them
Does it come with controllers and all that? And did you play it on your pc or on tv?
@@KT_SUS92 no controller, i plugged in my Series S controller and it worked straight away. Also works with keyboard. It has to be plugged into a pc or laptop that'll let you boot into the bios
it's a great hdd with great games but I would still rather make my own, that way i know the parts are brand new, reliable brands etc
Hi just found your video can you run this on Nvidia shield tv
@@gokai100 sorry, never tried to do this
Can you download games on it
Can you save your progress for games that take time to finish like GTA San Andreas or resident evil??
yeah it saves games
Dose this work for tv or is it only for pc ?
@@gambetwolverinegambetwolve9738 pc only
Can you add your own games?
@@NotoriousPIGE not sure, I haven't tried
What button do you have to press to exit a game
It's 2 buttons at once. Think on xbox controller it's the logo button and select
Cool

i agree with your conclusion of the drive speed being at fault; that is going to be your bottleneck every time with a mechanical drive so although it does have ps3 and switch stuff on it its probably unrealistic to expect them to work
yeah i agree entirely. I'd rather pay 2-3 times more to have an ssd instead.
Could this be backed up/copied to a 500gb ssd?
@@steeboh i reckon so, all the files seem to be there when you view it as a storage drive in windows
I boot ps3 titles off a 6TB HDD no problem. keep in mind the original media is a bluray disc!
@@udance4ever Yes this is a good point, a blue ray only reads data at 4.5 meg anyway. the difference is the spin up speed though. A laser will pull data at a steady rate where as a mechanical doesn't as it relies on many variables - RPM of the plate, side of the chunks being read.
A 4.5 meg blueray disk will always pull data at a more stable rate
No NFL BLITTZ!! No thanks!!
