Accessibility is often a hurdle to retro gaming, even for collectors! I love the idea of a small box that lets you play whatever you're in the mood for, without digging out the appropriate system, the controllers, etc
These little systems are great value for people who want to dip in and play some seriously nostalgic, and sometimes seriously expensive, games. I'm primarily emulating on my Steamdeck, mostly because I can play anywhere with that 😎👍
Oh hey!!! Yeah it really stinks, but gave me time to start focusing on this and I’ll slowly rebuild on both platforms! Thank you for being here and the kind words!!! ❤️🎮
Dude I got this 2 weeks ago and it is my joy!!!! Dodanpachi, Battletoads, Gunstar Heroes!!! Im in heaven !!!!!You are right about the controllers.. Investing in a Gamesir T3, that should chamge the feel!!!! Love the SC X2 PRO!!!!!!
Hey thanks my friend! Yeah people bag on these but they’re made for just that, something quick and easy to hook up and play. And it’s cheap and I don’t have to mess with it, as someone who started all of this by modding I know what a chore it can be 🤷🏼♂️
@@retrobeliever I'm just excited I can use my pdp Xbox one controller on this thing it might not be the greatest thing but it's good for what I'm gonna play mostly more pokemon saves and my PS1 games when I get lazy and don't wanna physically switch out discs it's definitely gonna have it's uses being a simple emulator box is perfect for me I'm kinda scared of messing around with those raspberry pie boxes so plug and play is great haha.
As you know, N64 is usually fairly difficult to emulate. But I wonder if the slight glitches is due to bad emulation or how it deals with the RAM? Or lack of RAM? The Rogue Squadron- wow!😂
You never know what all these little boxes. There's so many of them. It's always like Christmas gifts with these. You don't know if it's going to be crap or good. LOL
@@retrobeliever Yes I enjoy your style and demeanor and also you brought a few unique tidbits to the table that other people did not. I always wonder about 4 players on these things and what dongles would actually be compatible so that was a great touch. Add those unique takes to your personality and we are loving it over here. Keep up the great work💪🎮😎
Great video!. I have that exact same console. It's definitely good for what it is, but not great. The X2 is capable, but the X4 is what we need! lol It's also in my living room, along with a MiniPC. I copied the microsd to a larger one and added my games. I use an XBOX controller with the setup.
Oh dang, now there’s an idea! Why the heck didn’t I think of that lol! I have a mini pc that could use some love, I appreciate this! Thank you for watching too!!!
I saw SNK on there, I was wondering, did it have Bermuda Triangle? That is a game I used to have the cabinet for and I really regret selling. It was a different version to what is most commonly found (it's not common at all but is possible to find) in arcades. It had a mechanic where you could twist the control stick to aim the gun of the spaceship. Stage 2 was also different from the one most commonly found. There were space transport type things that looked like potatoes aside from the fact that they had faces that looked like the flying stone heads in Space Harrier.
It is! But not under the SNK folder, in the Arcade folder and has both the U.S. and Japan version. I just used the search feature, and both versions worked very well!
Hey! man I have This Little X2 Pro Box, Well i have Quite a few of these, And the X2 is a very good System. Although the Original Super console does have a lot more DS Games, Infact i would say there's Every DS Game ever made on there, Including All the Imports. But Yes a Superb Little Box Indeed.The only thing That was a bit of a let down, Is on the 3DO the need for speed is actually a Dating game and not The Need For Speed. But Then I think all the Systems are all the same. I don't know why i just love the original Need for Speed man, Great Video Dude,
@@retrobeliever Hey man, Did you check the Need for speed rom, was it the same on yours, Or Was it that Rubbish Dating game. How are you dude, Hope your doing good Buddy.
@@mansellracing8690LOL! It was, man I forgot to tell you!!! Well that’s disappointing, one day when I have time I’ll scrub this and add different games. Thanks for following up/checking in! I’ve been pretty busy, I hope you are well too my friend!
@@retrobeliever Well Im'e Not very well at the moment Smoke Inhalation My friend, And the doctors and hospitals don't give a monkeys Dude. Anyway thanks for asking man. And your welcome about The need for speed thing, Can you replace the rom for the original game, I don't know how to do it but you sound like you know what your doing Buddy. Hope to catch you soon My friend.
I didn’t realize you were such a connoisseur of emulators, but it makes sense-how else are you going to get your retro fill! I’m a little intimidated by purchasing these huge emulation compilations because as you mentioned, you don’t completely know what you’re getting up front. But this overview makes me more interested in finally biting the bullet. Do you have other suggestions or favorites that I should consider, like maybe a top 3 list?
This one’s nice enough 🤷🏼♂️ I use it in my living room, but you can buy the pricier ones if need be….the higher the cost the more games. For as many duds there’s tons of games that do work!
@@retrobeliever 50? Wow.. what games? I've been looking for an emulator that has Sega CD but can't find any...... I have absolutely no idea how to add emulators... I've been told it's easy, and I follow directions and it's all Chinese to me... I have an emulator box and tried to add games.. still don't know what I'm doing

Phew….my thumbs tired lol, so pretty decent list I think 🤷🏼♂️
I started out modding systems so I was Retro Mod Rob but then I shortened it since I stopped modding, it’s def not original I know lol….but man I appreciate you watching!!! ❤️🎮
I guess ok for plug n play but to be honest I prefer to softmod a console such as the PS3. I have had great emulation of SNES, Nes, Megadrive/Genesis and I think the PS3 controller works really well with some games, even Atari 800 games! Plus as a bonus, you can play PS1 games via it.
And dude that’s totally fair, people like us know how to and I def prefer that as well! But yes this is def for those who just want to game right out of the box and for the price I think it’s decent, not revolutionary lol but decent!
Buyer beware !!! Always read customer reviews first ! Some game content creators like to hype up these cheap android boxes from China !! Many of these type of game boxes are just bad. !!! Most of the time there are duplicates, different versions of the same game , sound issues, frame rate issues, graphics issues , some games may not work , some games will not be in English. All this is prevalent in many of these cheap android game boxes. The problem is -- most of these game boxes are just not powerful enough !! The music is not included on some games is to save space on the sd card. There is not enough memory on these game boxes !!
Very true my friend! I don’t think I’d hype this up but I def don’t hate it for what it is. And yep I figured the music had to be a space issue lol, I appreciate the comment/points you made! And thank you for watching my friend!
I mean he shows actual gameplay video, I have this one, its great. It plays Panzer Dragoon great, which should tell you it will play most things well. There are some crappy boxes, but this one is legit and the man did a fair representation of this device, no hype here.
Accessibility is often a hurdle to retro gaming, even for collectors! I love the idea of a small box that lets you play whatever you're in the mood for, without digging out the appropriate system, the controllers, etc
Same! And it’s great how affordable these are also! Thank you for watching Lindsay, you’re amazing! ❤️🎮
They’re around $40 on Aliexpress in case anyone was looking to get one. I would avoid Amazon and their inflated prices.
Ahh nice, and good to know!
These little systems are great value for people who want to dip in and play some seriously nostalgic, and sometimes seriously expensive, games.
I'm primarily emulating on my Steamdeck, mostly because I can play anywhere with that 😎👍
And that’s an absolute gem of a system too!!!
Good video Rob! Keep up the good work, and of course, more videos of newer retro consoles!
Thank you my friend!!! I’ll try 😉❤️🎮
Keanu Reeves of retro gaming

I’m still pissed that FB took down your page for no reason. Glad you’re still around though!
Oh hey!!! Yeah it really stinks, but gave me time to start focusing on this and I’ll slowly rebuild on both platforms! Thank you for being here and the kind words!!! ❤️🎮
Not bad! The flexibility with different controllers and whatnot is a nice bonus too. Great review!
Thanks Johnny! I’m gonna watch yours tonight also my friend!

Wow that thing is really compact! I dig it!
Thanks Scott! This was fun to do!
Is Shining Force 3 for the Saturn on this device?
I don’t recall seeing it my friend, I’d have to check when I get home. Apologies!!!
Woohoo!!!
Thank you Jon, this was a fun one!
Great video I might get this just to play the retro games on the tv when I don't feel like playing on my handheld emulators

Thank you for this through review.
You’re welcome! I’m kinda new to these, I prob could’ve been a bit more thorough but man I appreciate you watching my friend!!! ❤️🎮
Does it have Oscar on it from the Amiga
Hmm not sure, I’d check for you but I’m out of town at the moment
Now we know where John Wick got his skills.
Lol, sure 😉
Can't wait for mine to arrive tomorrow 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Oh nice man you got one! Can’t wait to hear about it from you!
I'd love a box like this, but I'd want something that handles wiiu, PS3, 360 etc. but it seems fine for retro emulation and quick and easy.
I think they’ll get there one day, no doubt!
were those eyes on Mario’s hat in SM64? like in Odyssey?😂
Oh I didn’t notice lol, need to watch again 🤔😂

Have you tried the Retro Kat pro 2? By far my favorite retro console. I recommend for sure. Also great video dude.

Does it do GameCube eternal darkness
I’m thinking no, there were not GC games on it either. I’m pretty sure this would struggle greatly! But man that’s a great game my friend!!!
@@retrobeliever I have found a way to create a retro emulator or a pc my only problem is downloading the data
@@MrBigghatdaddywhy is that?
@@retrobeliever downloading that much stuff takes time that I do not have
@@MrBigghatdaddyahhh yes, that I definitely understand my friend!
O man..big thanks for doing this video I been looking in to this as an option...I'm still not sure though 😅
I understand, but you can add ROMs so ones that may not work you could replace it. For the most part though I’m really liking having this 🤷🏼♂️
@@retrobeliever that is a great point
For the best n64 emulator, choose parallel n64 libretro as the emulator in the settings.
Oh nice my friend! Yeah I haven’t had time to experiment with this much, any PSP suggestions?!?
@@retrobeliever For psp the best is ppsspp, but it requires a more powerful cpu. Runs better on Super Console X2 Pro
