I purchased this system from Aliexpress, and I love it. So far , I have only run into issues with 2 games not loading. Not a big deal because there are so many games. Some of the systems have complete North American rom sets. Not bad for 40 bucks plug and play. I took a chance and I was not disappointed.
I left a comment on this device for you to do weeks ago and I just found out you did the review I think this is the best emulation I have seen on cheap sticks good job wicked
Are you sure the upscaling is coming from the stick and not the TV itself? Some TVs will just do this with an original NES even. Edit: After looking at the Game Boy one, I think you’re right because if it was the TV it would do it to the GB games as well. Anyway, I’m quite impressed, this is the first “stick” console I’ve seen that isn’t absolute crap. I remember when these couldn’t run Mega Drive at full speed!
They ALWAYS have to mess up something! Grrr. The menu finally looks good enough for my own use case ad everything else looks acceptable for a cheap stick. In many ways, this is exactly what I'm looking for, in particular because it has Atari 7800 support and I have ONE game (Beef Drop) that I absolutely love but that can't be played on any Android stick (without launching Retroarch, but I hate Retroarch and I refuse to mess with "front ends" ever again lol). Beef Drop (BurgerTime) exists on many platforms, but the Atari 7800 version is the only one where the guy doesn't get ever stuck on the ladders...ruining the entire fun for me lol. But dangit I am an aspect ratio purist and I NEED to be able to adjust it! So, this is yet another no-sale for me 😂 Great review as always!
Even though you are limited in what you can do with the emulation front end, the aspect ratio cannot be altered, and you get some studdering on some of the high end systems, everything is playable and frankly for a plug and play stick at this price it is quick and easy just to play some retro games on your TV. I enjoy it.
Ugh. Forced filter and aspect ratio are an immediate strike against it. Pretty much unforgivable nowadays with the sheer number of options available at all price points. Stop locking it down, let people mess with settings.
Filters, aspect ratio, button mappings and save states are the four settings that are non-negotiable lol. I don't think they need to get any more geeky than that, that's what Retroarch is for lol.
Super Console X Stick is great , especially with 2GB Ram 🫡 But my budget is low $100 and this stick is above that if it delivered to my country ,so for my budget, which is better from your opinion, GD10 or Y6 ?
I think one company that buy old android TV sticks then sells them for other companies with the os they prefer and just say they are from Powkiddy or any other company who wants to have their company associated with these Android TV gaming sticks.
Hi guys, I was uploading some games in the micro sd, and I do not know what happened, but the N64 emulator is not appearing in the system. When I turn it on, all the consoles appear except the n64. Any idea what it could be, please? In the sd memory, it appears the n64 folder with the games. Thank you in advance
I am looking in to makeing a custom build for this the stuff runs well but missing the first letter of words and not putting aspect ratio with bezzels is just lasy. Plus rom dumping is a joke someone needs to tell these guys less is more.
@@glensmith1979 Thanks for your response. I don't exactly know what is going on. I do have a power source hooked up to it, it's in the HDMI port, and even on two different televisions it says HDMI signal not found. I wonder if a direct to wall connection might help?
Yes you need to plug it in to the wall but you should still get somthing the other thing is to use the HDMI extension that came with the system sometimes it does not go in all the way.
For some reason, the Chinese are churning out game sticks with PS1, but there is no vibration. Then there is no point in playing PS1. What do you think?
@@jimbotron70 Well, then maybe no original console is needed - this is generally an exit from the matrix. And sponsoring Chinese scammers is a charitable business.😆
Perhaps there's a way, or a certain Controller to get vibration from the games, but... I don't exactly know. I use the Google Stadia Controller for a different console from China, and everything apart from the vibration works just great😅
Hi, I bought this device from Aliexpress! but the SD card was damaged and did not generate a backup of the 64 GB card, any help? Does anyone have or know of the link to download and record on a new SD?
All I have is a laptop and I can’t know if game sticks like this will even work on them. I can’t risk my HP ruining the game stick, or worse… the game stick destroying my computer!☠️💻
Random comment, when I saw 32x I remembered my first proper laptop I got I think in 2002 it cost £500 used. I had to use frameskip to get GBA and 32x working and even then it wasn't perfect. Crazy to think a budget device 20 years later is far more powerful.
You basically say the same thing about every product. We already know this is a "cheap Chinese" product. Perhaps review it in this context? How does it compare to other sticks? You just review these and say "This is cheap, this is what you are going to get, limited, etc etc". Same each video. Gets pointless watching them.

Is resident evil 2 on it ?

impressive for a stick , runs better than most of your boxes from China

Got one this week 64 I don't cera but really looking forward to rest of it 50£ werth a try

Change the aspect ratio on your tv
Could you test it with updating to EmuELEC 4.6.? Might tighten the N64 emulation.
Even though you are limited in what you can do with the emulation front end, the aspect ratio cannot be altered, and you get some studdering on some of the high end systems, everything is playable and frankly for a plug and play stick at this price it is quick and easy just to play some retro games on your TV. I enjoy it.
Aspect ratio is an absolute deal breaker for me, save for maybe a casual fighting game against someone else who doesn't notice or care lol.
@@CaptainCaveman1170 Change the aspect ratio on your tv. Worked like a charm for me😂
So what you recommend for premium games like current gen
Not bad for a game stick...I think alot of handhelds can learn alot from these sticks 🙏🏽
I found a genesis stick(916 games), it rocks. Now if I can find a Sega /Mega CD one I'd be set. 🤔
Can u plug in your own controller or do u have to use their control?
It has an ARM S905X2 cpu from 2018.
4 core A53 up to 2 GHz, Mali G31 650 MHz
Процессор проверяли на соответствие заявленному s905x2? У многих у кого такой стик, там проц на самом деле s905m
The menu from the hdmi stick you reviewed yesterday is much better
It's not too bad, but for me there are not enough settings you can adjust...
The automatic bilinear filter sucks. Your tv should be able to change the aspect ratio to 4:3
I find it funny that sf6 is not on there but they do it anyways to make it convincing😂

Might have to change your tv's aspect ratio. 😊
I can do that indeed.
Only can't with a normal monitor 😄
White PlayStation 2 knock-off controllers? Now, that's something new...😄
Knockoff naw. Sony didn't even do that first. The gaming standard....yes. that controller style worldwide is the best.
Which better to buy GD10 or Y6 ?
Super Console X Stick... nothing else.
Because you got EmuElec even it's 3.9.
You can get into the software and fix things.
Super Console X Stick is great , especially with 2GB Ram 🫡
But my budget is low $100 and this stick is above that if it delivered to my country ,so for my budget, which is better from your opinion, GD10 or Y6 ?
Now you can open this system up I guess the y6 should be better :)
But out of the box y6 is a cleaner menu system if it version 2.0
I want to know what you do with the systems that you don’t like ?
Can you show us game list
Just psp and DC atomiswave thanks so much
Do these gamepads have vibration?
I doubt it.
@@3dhYT Ок
No they don't
Boom!! First to comment ! Makes such a change !! Happy days everyone
Hi 👋🏼 do you know if the y6 has the legend of zelda - ocarina of time on it?
Yes i heard it does.
I think one company that buy old android TV sticks then sells them for other companies with the os they prefer and just say they are from Powkiddy or any other company who wants to have their company associated with these Android TV gaming sticks.

Did killer instinct work
Is PS1 on it?
Yes
Whats that slot covered on the bottom of the back of the TV. Interesting 🤔
aspect ratio kills it
I guess their market research showed that people don't care enough about that. Nah, who are we kidding, they actually don't do any market research! 😂
@@CaptainCaveman1170 good point 😂
Just change ur TV aspect ratio. Worked for me🎉
@@digitizer3627 sure, you can do that, but it's only a workaround that shouldn't be needed in the first place
@@zockeromi1970 I agree with you. It was really lazy of them to not do that in the first place.
Including the Simpsons arcade ?
I am looking in to makeing a custom build for this the stuff runs well but missing the first letter of words and not putting aspect ratio with bezzels is just lasy. Plus rom dumping is a joke someone needs to tell these guys less is more.
So you can just plug it in to the HDMI socket?
Yes and you need some form of usb power from a phone charger or aomthing like that or some TV usb port will give you enough juice
@@glensmith1979 Thanks for your response. I don't exactly know what is going on. I do have a power source hooked up to it, it's in the HDMI port, and even on two different televisions it says HDMI signal not found. I wonder if a direct to wall connection might help?
Yes you need to plug it in to the wall but you should still get somthing the other thing is to use the HDMI extension that came with the system sometimes it does not go in all the way.
The processor is marked x905x2, and the system in the Emulestation settings is marked x905m!
Is resident evil 2 on it ?
Y6 or Y2?!
The y2 is a 8bit stick and garbage compared to this but the chinese have lodes of diferent names it can get confusing lol
For some reason, the Chinese are churning out game sticks with PS1, but there is no vibration. Then there is no point in playing PS1. What do you think?
Welcome addition but not essential to me
@@jimbotron70 I am glad for you that you are an ascetic, but for a significant part of retrogamers this is a fundamental factor.😀
@@lubyana-mama After a while I found it irritating and distracting on the original console. With fighting games it's a neverending vibrating session.
@@jimbotron70 Well, then maybe no original console is needed - this is generally an exit from the matrix. And sponsoring Chinese scammers is a charitable business.😆
Perhaps there's a way, or a certain Controller to get vibration from the games, but... I don't exactly know. I use the Google Stadia Controller for a different console from China, and everything apart from the vibration works just great😅
I'd prefer Y6 than Y2
does it say Powkiddy anywhere? why they hide the company name?
It's probably a drop-shipped generic device that they use the Powkiddy name to market it.
Процессор проверяли на соответствие заявленному s905x2? У многих у кого такой стик, там проц на самом деле s905m
It is a aigame 905x2 not amilogic 905x2 basicly a 905x with better graphics processor and it definitely runs better than the s905x
Hi, I bought this device from Aliexpress! but the SD card was damaged and did not generate a backup of the 64 GB card, any help? Does anyone have or know of the link to download and record on a new SD?
Dispute and ask seller for refund. 👌
Great Review. My Powkiddy Y2 just came in this week.
All I have is a laptop and I can’t know if game sticks like this will even work on them. I can’t risk my HP ruining the game stick, or worse… the game stick destroying my computer!☠️💻
i only like this bacues zombie reveng ohh i wish had tales and yugioh on psp
CRT games one HD screens. :D
and if you have a CRT it won't have a USB port. oh
Does this have terminator? Anyone have a gamelist?
If it came out on any system before the ps1 it will be in this system
no pcengine games ?? :(
Ours didnt come with sound

Godfather of packages from China
Dope video game
Being Powkiddy there are good chances for a custom firmware soon, the original seems crappy.
It's getting reaaally close to being acceptable imo. The sweet spot between being a casual plug and play and being an emulation geek-only product.
You basically say the same thing about every product. We already know this is a "cheap Chinese" product. Perhaps review it in this context? How does it compare to other sticks? You just review these and say "This is cheap, this is what you are going to get, limited, etc etc". Same each video. Gets pointless watching them.
It is Y6. Not Y2.
Why you always give a wrong info?
Calm down chineebot, nobody needs them both.😆👎
Literally, this is a bare bones device in terms of options.
Still wouldn't buy one, though. 😑
Hey I'm the fourth comment pin mmmeeee!!!
