After carefully watching your reviews of all these retro boxes, I decided to order this one. Thanks for showcasing these. It's a real pleasure watching your videos.
Update to my update. Ill keep it short my last comment got deleted. Do not Buy this. It brokes easily and more than 50% of the Games are unplayable, or has huge bugs, no musics etc. Its not a cheap Price too so Do not WASTE your money.
I bought the X3 and have not had a problem with any of the games. Each system has multiple emulators you can switch between. So if a game doesn't play on the basic setup, you can switch and set everything up the way you want, per game. Great vid! This is worth it for the price being under $200
With China constantly selling these android boxes you wonder how much over stock did they have of these android boxes or do they still make new ones with the same specs and same operating systems.
I got this console, played some cool retrogames, but I broke it. I selected "Reboot from NAND" or something to see what it did, and now I doesn't get past the boot screen anymore :'( Why the hell is it posible to break it when you select a menu item?
This is more a story of what is the case you really like in the end. Super Console X max Plus haves a nice case with one big fan on top I love this one. Same specs .. same emulation results.
@@WickedGamerCollector whoa thanks for quick reply, but the "super console x nes" has the same case as this super console x3, but on aliexpress is half price, do you think the performance is equivalent? What about x2 vs x3? Same performance?
Is it worth upgrading from the original cube to cube x3? I have the original, but better cooling with a fan sounds good, as the CPU temp on the cube hits that 80c mark during the games and menus. Does someone have experience with the cooling of this machine?
They redesigned the cooling, its flat and glued on the processor, the fan is attached in the cover and not in the heatsink. I think its about cost reduction. Groetjes, Christian.
Good Review as usual. Now I guess i am going to get this one, comparing it to other Hyper Base models like the Hyper Base FC, this one has a fan and has the 905X3 chips and 4 GB RAM which is good. Thank you for always having a great review. Can anyone tell me how to back up the MicroSD card of this Gameboxes, they uses a cheap kind of Micro SD which will go bad. That happened to me in the past, which now i have a $90 android box just sitting on my desk gathering dust.
Certain N64 games are notoriously finicky when it comes to emulation - although many will run near perfect, or with some minor glitches that still leave the game completely playable. I have a modded Nintendo Wii that runs around 80 games - most of which play really well. Decent option if you have a Wii around somewhere.
It would be cool if one of these devices could play the arcade versions of the following games Killer instinct 1 and 2 Tekken 1, 2, 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament Soul Caliber Street Fighter EX 1 and 2. Rival Schools Plasma Sword Crusin USA NFL Blitz
I bought this and I can't get it to do anything after I power it on and the company won't let me return it ... Does anybody have any links on how to fix it ?

fun fact that @techreviewusa did a review of this exact game and his review was very horrible because he was he wasn't very detailed of what it was and he was judging the console by the fact that it was a SOC (System on a Chip) instead of an android, really nice you took the consideration on explaining the exact details when talking about these systems. awesome work wicked.
Weer een geweldige toelichting en uitleg. Is dit voor jou de beste (kinhank) budget console onder de €100,- ? Ben benieuwd naar jouw mening. Persoonlijk vind ik de Kinhank console het beste
What's the obsession of games running at 60fps, that's not how the old games played, as most at 30fps. Perfectly still playable at 30fps. And I still prefer in many games on my XSX at 30fps

Nice review, dankzij jouw inspanning om alles te reviewen wordt het in aliexpress land wat makkelijker om de juiste retro gaming box te kopen. Ik heb deze bestelt, voornamelijk voor de echte oude games te spelen. Wat de emulatie van de n64 en psp betreft is mij opgevallen dat het niet zo heel veel rekenkracht vergt, maar is het emuleren van deze 2 o.a. erg lastig. Op mijn pc loopt het net zo goed slecht namelijk.
I'm only really vaguely interested in how this KinHank would compare with the RaspberryPi 3A+ which is the affordable RPi with full size HDMI..and actually available...unlike RPi4...the RPi3A+ has a quad at 1400MHz 512Mb RAM...but should be enough for most games it can emulate...I think I'd rather build an NES mini around it than buy a prebuilt with this chip I've never heard of before...what do other commenters think? Probably majority would wait for RPi4 or something else?
I got the original x cube and noticed you think N64 games run bad Intellivision games run worse a number of games have distorted sound screen flickering why it should be easy to emulate that system
I generally have zero issues. You may wanna check some settings or do a clean install of Emuelec, No telling what these chinese companies put on the games lists.
I just yesterday returned this. Not bad but not good enough. Half games in chinese, then too many duplicates, then buttons didn't work in the game. Too many issues. Big name Consoles is the way to go, no issues. Switch, Sega, playstation, x box
Absolutely a complete waste of money, considering you can get a better Android box with a better CPU/GPU combo and more RAM - almost to the Dollar for the same price! Unless you got a hard on for how this looks, it's not the one.
Protip, Open it up and add some $2 heatsinks to each of the RAM chips, then take out the fan screws, rotate the top of the case 180 degrees and move the fan across under the ventilation slots to only two screws so its actually sucking in fresh air, downside is all ports usb hmdi etc will now be on the front of the console but it will stay constantly cool on high loading psp or n64 games for long play
After moving the fan you can actually feel air running out of the bottom air vents
Thanks for the heads up man
That’s a shame, I hope for some more power but maybe in the super console x plus fifty nine edition
Wich retro game consoles would you recommend?
I would love to buy one.
But i don’t know wich one!🙂

Why would they use the 2-controllers for 1 usb method when the system has 4 controller ports???
I think this is there basic stock they have in china.
With China constantly selling these android boxes you wonder how much over stock did they have of these android boxes or do they still make new ones with the same specs and same operating systems.
I hate it that they keep releasing the same product specs every single time it's annoying.
I always said that since day one like HOW many do y'all have lmao.
Has anyone ever thought if installing any boards and chips inside of a tv? There's a ton of space in these tvs.
Not really, I quite like the idea having the device as a portable and I like having access to the SD card for making copies.
Thanks. Does it comes with classic games like space Invaders, pac man, donkey Kong and new rally X thanks?
Yes it does. And if it doesn't you can add games. But trust me. Just get the super console x cube 256gb. It's better for price
Just grabbed the 256 gb version of the x3 cube on the Bay for 50 bucks 👍
Happy to see they updated this as it was kind of the coolest box they made. Would like to see a bit better performance.
Agreed the case is one of my favorite ones.

Remove SD ... boot it up into android.
Than turn it off .. put sd card back in and try again.
Hi
Do you have an image for the 4 GB SD somewhere !?
So what is the difference between this one and the first super X cube box
Which is better, this super console x3, or the "super console x nes" for half price?
This is more a story of what is the case you really like in the end.

Did you say Killer Instinct is not available?
How much better does this perform than the original cube? Looks slightly better, but not much..
Little bit better.

which model is supposed to be better superconsole cube x3 or superconsole x3 plus. Thanks in advance !

Slowly but surely they are improvements on the performance but can only go so far with a cheap chip set
Wats a good bluetooth remote to use? Thnx
So if you had to choose, spend less money and get the regular Super console x cube and the 3x just get the x cube?
When I press A, I go to "go to manufacturer" screen. How do I start a game?

Is this or the X2 better
can it play youtube ???
