@ETA Prime I would be interested in your opinion on the 4K Max vs Chromecast with Google TV. Stadia vs Luna.
Absolute perfect video. Everything I want to know, especially the information about emulation & gaming.
Never pay full retail for a Fire Stick, or, really, any Amazon branded product.
They ALWAYS have HUGE discounts. I'd rather just wait
True i just paid 37 bucks instead of 80 for the 4k max
@@stormkiller4148 hey how come you got it so cheap the 4K max I know the original is on sale right now for $35 but not the max do
@@MarcShorty23 look up, it's 35 dollars right now.
@@mmert138 right I just got one to use in my bedroom for Amazon Luna. Had it not been $35 bucks I wouldn’t have gotten. Back in 2019 I brought like 3-4 on prime day at steep discounts.
All ways impressed at how well emulation works on these sticks.
Looks like one of the best and has some really good features. Good use of the Mediatek chipset in the device. Awesome.
I do love your intro, please always keep it!
Huh, this completely flew under my radar. Thanks ETA!
Thank you. you make great and informative videos but you forgot to leave a link to the OTG Extra Storage in the description. What is the extra storage used for? Do you put video files on it and if so what format and encoding do they have to be for the firestick to read them?
It turns out you CAN sync this new stick with the old gen 4K remote. It sets up in a snap and works perfectly. Best of both worlds. I may just accidentally "lose" the new remote. In a trash can.
You don’t like the extra 4 app buttons?
Put it on eBay, people are ALWAYS losing the AFTV remotes
ill buy it from you
It's Bluetooth there no reason it wouldn't when they software all the same
Sell it at least. I know there’s a ton of people who like to buy it used so they don’t have to pay full price.
love getting noticed for new vids from you!🤘
if they had given 16-32GB internal storage and android 10 upgrade it would have been a great upgrade from the last fire tv stick
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 regular old 1080P fire stick and it still works great, this must be awesome
Great review and super informative
Good voice,good presentation,thx a lot!
Can you test the Wi-Fi 6 spead with dex wireless plz … great video as always 😍
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?
Great videos! 👍🏽
I just got 4K FireStick for my projector,works great 👍 i also have an older version which works but it's kinda slow..I want Fire Cube but don't have money 💰...
Thank you for the review. If you don't mind I'd like to see Jellyfin running on it, please. It would be the main reason I'd pick on up.
I did not know it was feasible for gaming - nice! Seems like mediatek really came through for this.
I'd like to see you incorporate lossless 4k streaming from a local plex server as additional testing. 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. I recently tried my old fire tv and it seemed to fair a little better than the roku devices... but still ultimately gave out. All of these devices handle 4k streaming from services just fine. And even my down Plex server if I compress them with handbrake first. But it takes true gb ethernet or fantastic wifi possibly to handle lossless. Even though the roku devices are on strong 5ghz signals, they won't pull faster than 80 to 90mb/s. And lots of forum posts out there agree with these findings.
I've the fire TV 4K, it works perfectly for non-transcoded direct 4k streaming. The 4K max is just faster in all aspects.
@@13aaryan no it doesn't. O ly the shield pro can play lossless 4k rips.
Would love to see another new nvidia shield tv device soon with upgraded specs even after all these years it's still the OG android tv device that's still to beat.
i agree nothing can touch it.
@@2431carl no *Android TV box* can touch it yes. Because other Android TV box makers are stupid only putting in cheap weak chip. Android phones and tablets surpassed Nvidia Shield TV years ago..
I sold my Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019. It doesn't do emulation better than literally every device in my house. Other devices can emulate even more recent powerful consoles that Nvidia shield TV can't..
Pretty sure Nvidia have up on they market
Sorry to disagree but the Nvidia shield is hardly a great device especially since it’s not the greatest out today. Nvidia shield has many flaws starting with those ads it still has. Plus it a lack of updates for the Android OS. I traded in my Nvidia shield pro because it’s completely useless. I wouldn’t but this device again
I like the specs and upgrades in the new mediatek powered Amazon fire stick
Hopefully the next fire stick will give us 1 or 2 fps higher 😄
Is it worth upgrading to over the older Fire TV with 4K Ultra HD (box)? the little flat box with an ethernet port, that Amazon sold prior to the cube.
I am quite interested in this model after owning several of them , including the cube.
Have you tried emulation on the cube? If so is it comparable to this?
The thing I'd like to see is how does it cope with a huge Plex library in the UI re lag. Great review thx
Do u have a huge plex media server?
The 4K previous fire stick was fine with my large Plex library from a different address
Nice Bro! But it’s still It inferior to the Fire Cube ?
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
DIG.
Hey, whenever you post the specs of an arm device, try to include the microarch label (A72,A55,A55). Bc the frequency doesn't meant anything without the microarch. Also the node used if you have the info. Nice vid!
Look at 3:50
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 !
ETAPrime,
Can you run mame on the new 4K max Firestick? If so, is there a video showing how to set it up?
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 .
@@sarahjane4583 thanks for this, was going to pick one up for this reason!
@@sarahjane4583 thank you for the update and information, invaluable
Please reply with the name of the monitor. I love to see your video.
Great Review
Have you already done a vid on the fire tv cube? Just found it have they brought out a newer model?
Hey ETA have you seen any updates to redream or flycast to fix the graphical glitches on this device? Thanks in advance love your channel and content.
Redream 1.1.82 works well on mine.
Oh I think this is amazing the fact I could run monster hunter on tvs with a simple fire stick is great this is going into my camper
Hey, can u do some testing with the new firestick with regards to wireless Samsung Dex? Is there noticeable lag when using the the new WiFi 6 standard? My Netgear router is AX and my Note20 supports AX. I have a USB C to HDMI cable connected to my monitor, but was thinking about using this solution instead. Thanks
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?
How well does it do with game streaming services like Amazon Luna stadium or x cloud ? Do you have a video demonstrating Amazon Luna?
I really liked playing games on my computer instead of the fire stick. I really liked the video how you download asphalt 8 on the fire stick same as my computer! You're the best!
@eta prime when is the sequel video with more emulation coming? thx!
Since it runs Android 9 you can probably install the Android TV Home, probably an older version to avoid the new home screen ads.
I remember seeing a tutorial on how to install an Android custom ROM for Raspberry Pi 4 that was a mix of LineageOS and Android TV, and it seemed to me that the adverts won't load on devices without GMS.
awesome video i think i am going to buy
Thats nice specs but i needed it a little bit of high storage like 16gb storage. Same with Chromecast.
@Ayjop im saying 16 gb because of updates and sideloading
Hi, would you please post the otg adapter links? thanks
a unity version of a dragonquest game was on the amazon store, I'd regard that as a great game. er, it probably doesn't work on newer versions of android than the one it was made for though.
What is the internet speed with WiFi 5, 2018 4K vs 4K max? Is it improved? If so, by how much (on average)?
I didn't see a link to the otg adapter you use in description.
About 02:33 in you promise to leave a link to the storage device in the description. I don't think you did. Could you please add it?
I would love to see some game streaming performance with moonlight, parsec and similar apps.
This
If you figured out a good way to get redream on it, I would love to know.
Does this have a working/functional frame rate matching option for video?
damn this is good news. these are £37 in the uk right now. as it happens I was looking at amazon media players anyway. but now I know you can low end retro on them, its a done deal ^_^. question. Ive seen your old rundown of fire tv cube 2nd gen from a couple of years ago. have you revisited it recently by any chance?
I hope the MAX version come to Brazil as well 😁😁
Would you be able to side load PlayStation Remote App and stream from your PS5? Since it is WiFi6 and in the same network, the performance would be awesome (if the App works at all which is my concern about it).
Hey Prime. Could you do one with the Fire TV Cube?
Greetings, you didnt add a link for the usb cable in the description?
Is it any good with the Luna service?
I wonder if you can you load roms directly to the internal storage?
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.
Can you do cloud gaming in the next video? The 4K stick didn’t handle that very well
4k in av01! Amazing!
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?
Wish I knew the max version was coming out! Just purchased the 4K model 3weeks ago. It’s still great but I’m using it on a 4K projector and any little bit of upgrade to quality helps. Oh well maybe Black Friday or cyber Monday it will go down some in price.
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.
@@blingVolcano Thanks for your opinion
I also use retroarch all the time and I love it
Does this have the Shudder app and does HBO Max work properly in 4k? I have a Shield and have to set it to 1080p otherwise I get frame
skipping and menus constantly crash. It amazing outside having to make these changes for the Max app.
Beast of a 4k stick emulation max beast of a champion
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.
What about the Fire TV Cube (2021) - better specs at Hexa-core CPU 2.2GHz + 1.9GHz, GPU 800MHz - on sale for $79
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
Was it easy to set up the emulation?
How does ps2 run
Which site did you get the apk for mupen from using downloader? Same question for yaba sanshiro. Thank you!
What controller are you using?
@@ohdaUtube Use Retroarch
3:00 Finally Added a Search bar?
We already had a Search bar (since the 1st generation FireTV stick), all you have to do is click left button on the remote a few time (while at home screen) till the Search option pop up.
Can you attach a storage device now without jumping through hoops? Idk why Amazon keeps putting out 8gb devices and then 3gb of it is bloat and OS.
He shows you it using additional storage two minutes in...
Official otg support now.
Mostly worked on the 4k, but was unofficial.
Just a micro usb otg cable that has a power wire, and you're good!
@@tatsumaru12345 alright I remember last time I tried to do it you had to install apps run code and still wouldn’t work right. I’ll have to try it again
Agreed. 🙏 for Root access
Sorry where is the link for OTG Extra Storage? I don't see it? THK
does the new 4K max out perform the firetv cube?
How well does the 4K+ Max work with Luna? Seemed like a missed opportunity since you showcased emulators when Amazon has a streaming game service and the app was already installed.
@@squeezydonutz Cool thanks for the info!
Great Review test on the Firestick. Can you Test Xbox GamePass on this Device ? if it works great I will be Upgrading All of my Fire Sticks This Black Friday And Cyber monday.
i have a full hd TV that i want to watch 4K youtube videos on, does this work?, like upscaling.
How about revisiting the fire tv cube gen 2???
I just got my firestick 4k max. It's running off of my 4k projector. But when I go to display settings, the highest resolution it allows me to choose is 1080p. Anyone have any tips? I already had a standard firestick and it looks exactly the same. I've just wasted my money as far as I can tell. I may be doing something wrong, admittedly, but any help is appreciated. I'm watching prime 4k uhd video, and it looks exactly like my standard firestick? Any help is appreciated.
Got one of these with a ethernet/usb hub. Loads so much faster.
Ain't messed with gaming though...
How Much Storage can it get upto?
I might pick this up just for streaming on an old HDTV I keep in my room. I've been rocking an Amazon Fire TV gen. 2 for about four years and need to replace it because Hulu keeps crashing. I tried replacing it with a Roku 4k stick, but it lacks something that tends to be overlooked in a lot of these devices: *screen calibration to compensate for overscan*
Does this work right out of the box or does it need to be jail broke to do these things
I realize this is a bit old, but you mention the OTG link in the video, but it seems I can’t seem to see it. I’m not familiar with them, and I suppose I have a paranoia about getting the “wrong” one.
I can’t get it to connect to dragonrise usb on the latest version of retroarch. I have an older Firestick that connects just fine. I couldn’t get my Amazon Bluetooth controller to pair either. I downloaded Luna which says it’s compatible with ps4 controller but that wouldn’t pair too. What gives?
Hello can I use this to install steam link and stream my pc games and control them with a gamepad?
Which controller is this one? With the black and purple design? It looks so cool
Pretty positive it's the amazon luna controller.
Can u download the dolphin emulator on fire stick and get it to actually work tried and doesn’t play anything
Sega dreamcast retroarch no longer work with updates, how to get it working for 2021?
I do not find your OTG link for the device. Is it just called OTG to search on Amazon?
Dude...what's up with the Surface Pro 8 and an eGPU video review for emulation?
How about multiplayer? Can use 2 BT gamepads on the stick?
Definitely need to see some sega Saturn emulation
what controller are you using?
May I know which console you use ?
I wish you had tried some 8K clips on RUclips. Just to see if they would play.
I prefer the fire tv Box gen 2 for emulation because it is the fire tv System with the most power and has lan, usb and micro sd port.
