I've had to upgrade my roku devices to a shield pro to get flawless non-transcoded direct 4k rips to play across my lan.

Really great for the price, I enjoy playing all my favorites on N64, PS1, PSP, Dreamcast and even undergoing testing emulators for Gamecube and PS2 on this MAX stick its amazing
When you test the emulation for n64 with retroarch could you see if you could figure out why Vulcan won't stick(stay switched on) , and why the parallel core won't work?

Can you do comparison/performance of Moonlight streaming? As I understand, on older Fire Stick 4K, the HW decode was buggy/limiting factor which added latency and became borderline acceptable experience. With the addition of WiFi 6 and different HW on Fire Stick 4K Max, curious to see if there is any improvements. Thanks.
Just an update, I purchased the 4K max just to test Moonlight. Unfortunately, I saw no improvement over the previous gen 4K. Hardware decoding time was between 30-40ms as I experienced. Networks latency was 1ms .
The two key improvements here are hardware accelerated AV1, which is soon to be ubiquitous and WiFi 6 for more efficient streaming. Hopefully the next Google Chromecast with Android TV will up the ante with a USB-C 3.0 port and S905X4 SOC.
Considering AV1 is not supported by any Snapdragon phones, iphones below 12 support or GPUs under Intel’s Xe, RTX 30-series or RX 6000... I'm not sure the word SOON is being used wisely... Give it 5 years.

Grand Theft Auto 3 runs natively on Fire OS. (It's on the operting system list of wikipedia, maybe still an emulator is used by Rockstar Games). I'm not sure if it's worth to check though. It will probably run fine.
The main reason for me to buy the 4K MAX was Wi-Fi 6 and the speed performance are horrible for me 😩 I’m getting more speed on my iPhone X then the new Firestick 4K MAX 👎👎 disappointing for the Wi-Fi speed.
Awesome video ETA, wondering if there's a front end you can slap on here instead of using retroarch or stand alone emulators? I'd love to see that video
Hmmm I just got the new 4k max. My old 4k stick played that God of war PSP better than In your video, I haven't tried to play it on the max yet. But with the settings I use I think I'll be able to get it looking like PSP quality.
I like your videos very informative I used a review you did on the MSI GF76 Katana to help me decide to buy it any way I was wondering if you have tried RetroX emulator I have it installed on my Firetv as as a 4k Firestick and it works pretty well I have only done light emulating with it like Nes and Snes some Sega and N64 and it seemed to work pretty well if you get the chance I would like to see your review on RetroX on Firestick possibly running more advanced games I would myself but I don't have the Roms
I have a shield tv pro, and I would've loved for you to test streaming playback more in depth... Does it play MKV, mp4 dolby vision files? What about HDR, or HDR10, etc. Does it playback every audio codec like atmos, DTS, DTS-X, DD etc. Hope you can reply to this !
Strange device, but if you're interested, WAIT UNTIL NEXT MONTH! Around black friday, all amazon devices always go on a mega sale. But the 4k max, beyond getting the newest updates, wifi 6, official otg support 'was unofficial before,' and native av1 support, I don't know if I'd reccomend the extra change from the 4k stick IF you already have it. If you're buying now, I'd get the max. There may come a point streamers might require av1 support. Like youtube, you're only getting 8k if you have a av1 player. Looks alittle better too. I will say the 4k stick is behind in updates, even if it has the same hardware as the lite/regular. Like bluetooth volume control isn't a thing yet. But probably is on the max.
I need to know right this second if this 4K MAX fot all of the Emulsions shown here is BETTER than the Google Chromecast with Google TV of which you did a video on in the past. Which is the BETTER of the two specifically for the emulations. Pretend that the two competing devices I mention here cannot do anything else. If the owner of this channel opinion on this, that would be great!
I may not get a response since the video is a year old now buuut how well does this or any fire stick handle having multiple USB controllers? Like is there latency does it read multiple controllers?
The fire stick has been around for a while and all they can come up with is 2 gigs of RAM And 8 gigs of storage? I'm sure they'll be plenty of videos on how to stop buffering like the previous version
Amazon continues to be just stupid with only having 8GB of Internel storage capacity If only they would make It like 32GB of internal storage capacity but there are plenty of other companies out there who only have 8GB of Internel storage capacity like Anker and Walmart who have the same specs on their devices as well.
Wow no USB C 🤦🏼♂️ what were they thinking 🤔 Amazon should be ashamed of themselves for going with that Atrocious Micro USB. All that money Amazing had and they cheap out? I will just keep the 4k stick I have it's doing fine as well as my Nvidia Shield. 🤗 Thanks for Sharing ETA Prime. Love your work Bro 👊
Why does the music in Diddy Kong Racing never seem to work in emulation tests? Is that something with the ROM everyone is using or hardware or something else?
Um probably because it's not marketed as an emulation device? It's way faster going in and out of apps, and navigating the UI, which is the entire point of the upgrade.
@@kobeandgary It's just that... marketing nonsense! The CPU on this is barely faster than Fire Stick Lite, which could of been had for as low as $18. The major improvement is the extra little bit of ram to deal with all the extra bloat Amazon putting on these things, which can be disabled, so NO it's really not WAY faster! IMO, it's not worth the price bump and it's a disappointing update.

How is the fire TV box from 2015 still more powerful than this in CPU ? They've never made anything more powerful than it have they ?
Is this best for emulation than Chromecast 4?
How about multiplayer? Can use 2 BT gamepads on the stick?
I think Luna is great!
I do not find your OTG link for the device. Is it just called OTG to search on Amazon?
I love retro games and I would really love if a create a video on emulators. Btw your content is awesome. Love your channel and respect you.
Retroarch is your first stop, my friend. Retroarch is so powerful and has pretty much the best emulators running in one location.

I also use retroarch all the time and I love it
