I never understand why they don’t go through every game just one time edit name files and delete duplicates … it only needs to be done 1 time then you can dump it all on anything !
I'm so with ya
Testify, brother...
You know exactly why...they need to get that number up.
@@daymonharris8696 True enough but that was only effective when these things first started coming out. Now, people in this market are more likely to be aware of what they're likely to get so it would make sense to try to differentiate themselves with quality over quantity.
Because that would be labour intensive. To keep the cost of the device down, labour costs have to be minimized. Also that job would suck, I doubt they want to do it!
Nice one Dweeb, getting back to the basics.
I died when you picked the marmelade with chopsticks
Isn't that how it's supposed to be done?
Lol, I enjoyed the sandwich making a lot, including the OCD check at the end; that cut! 😂
Cool. I've been looking at this and a few others. I can't really decide what one to go for or if I should just get a handheld system.
Can the roms be copied from the sd card individually or everything you have favorited so they can be used in lets say a home arcade cabinet?? which i want to build sometime. Thereby avoiding having to source and download the roms yourself avoiding the potential legal risks and tedious massive download sizes that brings.
I got this emulator and I get to the main page offering different systems, but can’t select one. My controller is connected. When I select a system it gives me options but I can’t pick one. None of the options are start.
i bought system. how come controller's so stiff when i play older games like super mario all stars for snes and castlevania 4? is there's an option to make controller play softer?
I was going to get one of these for the ps1 games but the fact there is no music is a real deal breaker for me
Yeah it's a bummer. It's not all games, just the larger games that had lots of music data. I'm planning on trimming down the games list and adding my own PS1 games that are missing the music.
On my RetroPie system all the PS1 games have all the music intact.
Do u know if there is any speccy type mini consoles around anywhere?🤔
Hello. I use Kinhank super console x cube. While Neo Geo was opening the games automatically, it suddenly stopped opening and gave a blue screen error. It continued to open when I selected the emulator from the game settings. I didn't use any emulator settings before. Just the neo geo console is generally broken. I fixed it, but in general, how can I set it as the default from the emulator to the emulator named mini geo? Is there anybody who has an information.?
I have missing bios problem with batocera I think it's happening ever since I upgraded batocera do you I should downgrade it if yes then how???
I've owned this console for about a month. Out of the box, my Bluetooth controllers would not work. Updating to the latest version of Emuelec fixed most of my issues with it. That fan sounds like a jet engine. Thanks for the disconnect tip! The Android side is pretty weak and the remote is only good about 5 feet away. Also, you have to remove the sd card to access it. Not worth the hassle. Overall I am pleased with it now but for the price and troubles, I can't recommend this to someone looking for that true plug and play experience. Thanks for the review.
Yeah I never bother with Android on these things. I have a million other ways to watch Netflix or whatever. Shame that this isn't just a little bit more plug and play. It could have been great with just a little bit more work. I'm still planning on using this one though, I will spend some time tidying the ROM lists and getting everything working correctly.
What console do you recommend for the true plug and play experience in that case?
@@guygillman9956 -- That is the question i never see someone give an answer to.
best retro console reviewer channel hands down!!! ❤
Aw shucks 😊
I have the original circular x3 have issues with save states disappearing and what not. Is the cube one have better graphics?
love the video and a great laugh, especially when you said USB A-hole!!! I laughed and laughed and nearly fell off my chair!!! But I also made the mistake of eating my Super Console Cube instead of my sandwich 😭. On the positive side, it was still very tasty 😋. Is the X3 a big step up from the previous version? Is it worth an upgrade?
Now you'll have a Mario growing in your tummy!
Nah, it's a minor upgrade. It's worth getting if you didn't have the other one, but not worth getting if you already have one of these things.
Was thinking of getting this because I like the appearance of it looking like an actual console rather than a cheap TV box, plus if you have access to Emuelec download images which are compatible, you can still install and make a gamebox from scratch with this device.
Yup!
My super console x cube just died on me. It’s stuck on the emuelec screen and won’t load anymore after rebooting from NAND 😢😢😢
Una pregunta vienen los mismos juegos que en la x cube o vienen juegos diferentes?espero respuesta, gracias, saludos.
I wish someone would convince Kinhank that less is more with these things. If they would focus carefully on physical presentation (I'm with you on the physical appearance of these), solid firmware, polished (& smaller) ROM libraries, and sticking to ROMs (and systems) that run flawlessly, I think these would get a lot more love.
That being said, I have someone giving me an old 720P television for retro gaming and this thing would be a nice fit. I like the enhanced chipset, the bezels, and the ability to tweak. For me, I'm familiar with Retroarch and I have several chinese handhelds so I'm comfortable with tinkering on something like this to get it where I want it. Considering there's also a coupon available on Amazon (US) I think I might actually pull the trigger on this one!
Hyper Base asked me for input on what sort of rom set I'd recommend for their devices. I gave them a good description of what I'd like to see. Hopefully they listen 🤞.
@@TechDweeb Wow! That's actually terrific! Ok, I'm going to hold out for an updated famicom-ish console with your recommendations implemented. Thanks!!!!
Thank you for this! And especially on a Wednesday . Say hi to mom
Hello. I'm new to this style of gaming. I could use some help. I bought this for my son. The majority of the games play flawlessly. Zero of the N64 work. Just a blank screen with a black line through it. Is there anything I can do to fix it or should I just send it back for another. Thanks.
You can try changing the 'core' that is used by N64. When you have the n64 system game list open, press select, and go to 'advanced system options', and in there will be an option to change the 'emulator' (I think, if not it might be 'core' or something similar). And there you should have a few options for different emulators/cores. Try the top one and see if it works. If it doesn't go back to that menu and try the next one. Hopefully if the default core isn't working for you another one might. Good luck!
That's a lot of holes.
And a dongle to shove in all of them 👆
Should i get the console with the new or old chip? The s905 is a lot cheaper
I want to buy super console as the one you talked about.. which one is going to be the best.. if possible do you know is kid chameleon is included?.. thanks .. best wishes
How did you get Simpsons 2 player to run on the super console X cube 3?? Been trying to figure it out and I get a red screen!
Question. Did you ever manage to get n64 games to run smoothly? I'm having issue with poor frame rate with n64 games tony hawk is up playable :-(
If I remove the wired joystick while the console is on, will it break or short-circuit the console?
I don't want to make an analog-free arm master controller. I want it to be the 3rd player. What can I do. Thanks for the answer. ❤
Nope, you can do that, no problem.
@@TechDweeb thank you so much 🖒🖒
Hi tech dweeb. I want to buy a logitech f710 bluetooth joystick. Is this a problem?
Is your cube x3 still working? Betwen cube x3 and a retrobit super trio plus. Wich would to recomend. Whitch is the safer buy?
Yup I still use my cube. It's my main retro console right now. I haven't had a chance to try the Retrobit system yet but I"d still probably stick with the x3 myself.
@@TechDweeb thanks. I decided to go for a cube x3 I found it for 61 bucks on aliexpress. Amazon inflates the price it's 120 on there :-/
Hi Dweeb, how much space is remaining on the card to add additional roms?
Pretty much none, it's packed tight. But you could delete a few of the larger roms.
@@TechDweeb thanks 😃
Peanut Butter on Bagles
Agreed.
Aaaayyyy techdweeb what up my bro I have a question you said that asus is a reputable company for computer parts but do you know what companies to recommend like for example msi, etc.
They all have problems tbh. I think it depends on the component, some companies are better at GPUs, some at mobos, some at cases, etc. A safe bet is to get whatever is used a LOT, the most popular products, because you know that they'll be getting the attention from the company in terms of updates and support.
hi you are great😊 you help me with my super console x and great videos to😊
In summary: You can get a new $110 android that plays retro up to PS1 and some N64 nearly perfect, PSP and others unplayable at 10-15 FPS. OR $30 for older android that plays retro up to PS1 and some N64 nearly perfect, PSP and others unplayable at 1-2 FPS... $80 difference for slightly less unplayable but still unplayable games.
Yeah pretty much. 🤷♂️
My NES4Pi died weeks ago and i decided to replace the Pi4 (one of the HDMI ports died) with the Super Console X. And though it isn't that powerful, it's cheaper than a used Pi4. Took me two days to port my sd card to EmuELEC 3.9.
But those PS2 controllers went directly to the trash. Use 8bitdo's instead!
Great review, but I'm going to have to report you to the police for cutting the sandwich like a madman
Don't even try. I have the best Sandwich Crimes Lawyers at my disposal!
Love your videos! Which emulator should I get? What’s ur fav? I like this one or powkitty y6?
If you want something with maximum power, go for either a Mini PC or the Hyper Base King (or the Super Console King). If you want a good solid cheap device that looks like a little nintendo, go for this one. If you want a cheap-as-possible-but-still-plays-games-good option, go for the Y6. My person fav is this one TBH.
@@TechDweeb I appreciate the response thx u so much.
Is there a good retro console for Dreamcast that all I really want
I'm not an android fan. As far as tiny Nintendo's, I have a nespi4 8gb. It's great for all up to Dreamcast 😊 but I mainly only use it for NES, genesis, and mame. It doesn't play higher stuff perfect but I love it...and my fan is efficient and silent👾plus the nespi4 is slightly mini-er🧐 great vid!
I've heard good things about the Nespi. I'd go for one of those if the pi's weren't so overpriced these days :/
@@TechDweeb yes. I was luckily able to get mine before the drought and high prices🙂 have a great day, man🌻
can you add apps to it like downloader and how to use the android part
Question, does this have the original Super mario bros. Street fighter and so on.
The way you cut that sandwich caused me to take psychic damage.
A lot of these emulation devices are great for the most part but they really need to either make sure that the games run well or just don't put them on there at all. Why put games and systems on there that are subpar at best? I would rather have games running smoothly and not have all my favorite systems then to deal with half assed ports.
I'm with ya
1:28 Mmm, I wanted to take a bite out of it. 😋
I like how small consoles get now.
But the foreign Portuguese Resident Evil throwed me off. 😄
🥪
@@TechDweeb That console looked delicious. 😂
2X points for using the butcher knife to spread peanut butter. You are a dangerous man!
Dangerously Dweeby! (and also just dangerous...)
Any fixes with pixels? It’s not clear lol
a usb a-hole! Dying here. LOL.
That's where you put the dongle.
And a week later I am still no better off than your video from last week. This is in regard to my building a Pi image and trying to get it running. I could have just been gaming this whole time. I am not giving up!
BTW - where do you see good sources for images as of late? Seems Arcade Punks isn't really "that" active anymore and images are few and far between.
I'm not sure TBH. I always prefer to make my own (have a video on that coming up very soon!). I hear CoinOps does some good work that people enjoy.
@@TechDweeb I'd love to see a walkthrough on that! Yes, there are thousands of older vids but a current one would be great. My plight has been downloading a 512 image and it being corrupted via the torrent. Building your own is such an undertaking. But, it really can be easy if you know how. Again, I'd love to see your take on it!
Looks like you can't take this camping like the powkiddy
I mean, you COULD take it camping, if you just wanted to like cuddle with it at night or whatever.
@@TechDweeb The instructions certainly seemed to suggest that you MIGHT actually do that.🤣
On of this with the n100 chip and being capable pf commecting to a CRT is what I need in my life
Dude can i use the 8bitdo arcade stick with this??? Does anyone know
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think that would be a problem.
@TechDweeb thanks for the response man!!!
Does it have Fire Emblem series in english? I hate to see my favorite games in chinese language when i can't play it or change the settings. Most of these emulators have thousands of repeat non english games.
Can I install GameCube games?
Well that's a first. I've never been terrified of someone making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich before. 😮
I hadn't lived.
I may send you a box of bandaids.
Don't worry I'm a pro with a blade. I'm actually a ninja 🤫
Somebody needs to make an analog video console with scart/component out. I want to play those games on crt without latency cuz of digital-to-analog conversion
Curious about how well star wars rogue squadron runs on this
What music do you like listening to while gaming?
Depends on the game! I like 80s synthwave when playing arcade games, dancehall reggae with driving games, DnB with fighting games, etc. OR sometimes I actually listen to other game's soundtracks or compilations, just so I have control over the music, I can skip a track if it's not giving me the right vibe instead of being locked into the game's music (especially if it's like a level I have to redo over and over, the same song gets boring the 15th time).
Got 1 last week played once and SD croupted, would load Emeluc and go green 😢 dang it
Contact the seller. They can provide a replacement card.
I have the regular ‘X Cube’ sorry. THAT one doesn’t have GameCube games, can I download those? tY!
Nope. The S905 series of chips can't handle Gamecube (which is ironic, considering this box is called the 'cube'..."
I miss up super console x pro can help I dont how to fix it
If you contact the company they can send you a replacement SD card.
@@TechDweeb thank u bro💯
does anyone have a copy of the games? my sd crashed and i need a copy of the rom card!
Wireless N64 Controller, 2.4GHZ Remote Game Joystick Controller Gamepad Compatible with N64 Console, Switch, Raspberry Pi, PC Windows this controller was so good and cheap I bought 2 I was amazed how good it was finally a cheap way to play N64 wireless
You've been noticed! Now the capitalist corporations are following what you are doing, saying, eating, drinking, drawing and playing! And sending you stuff to review! Congrats 😊
I made it mama!
Do the N64 roms save progress ?
Depends which core you use. One of the cores doesn't allow save states. (Can't recall which one)
@TechDweeb sorry to be a pest , but I have jist ordered one of these consoles.
When you say core , can you change that in game
I see no difference compared to the original SCX. I got a x96max+ n burned emuelec/retroarch onto it. Got the bios and roms etc. Still have the SCX data though on a sd card 😀
Yeah it's barely any different at all tbh.
is there a x2?
Sorta. There is a Super Console X2, but it has a different look to it.
When I accidentally press the L3 key in CPS2 games, I am directed to the game settings. The game has to start from the beginning. How can I replace this key with the r3 key? I don't know the name of that setting.
(Süper console x nes / cube)
If you open up the retroarch settings (not sure what the hotkey is, but probably select + A) you can go to the 'input' settings and change that key binding to something else (or nothing).
I actually need an option that indicates that the l3 key is assigned to the game settings. This way I can turn off the option and fix it. If I cancel the L3 key, I cannot open the retroarch menu. Because it opens when l3+r3 is pressed at the same time.
Shalom techdweeb
Does the jam sandwich run Dooom?
Get out of here with your jokes Jack. This is a serious video.
That was one animalistic way of making a PB&J
🦍
What kind of a way is that to cut a sandwich......you monster.
"usb hole"
USB "A" hole ;)
I love the idea of these things but I can't justify paying the (admittedly cheap) price. I already have multiple Raspberry Pis I can use to make a retro console. My Pi 400 is running Batocera with a few hundred games. But I still want one of these things to play with. I'll pull the trigger on it eventually and then regret the purchase no doubt :)
Remind me to not have you make me a sandwich, I like mine with a few less fingers included :)
🤷 more for me then!
I wish they would stop using these s905x3 chips, my android box from 2020 runs that chip.
The s905x4 was also shit, there needs to be an upgrade soon.
Agreed. The s922x chip is a solid upgrade but those devices are still so expensive :/
You get a lot of USB A-holes. ;)
I need a lot to hold all my dongles.
Oh I see...NEXT!
Oh my, classic terrible Brazilian Portuguese voice acting 😅"O que é isso??" 9:54
This video exposes TechDweeb as Canadian. But that's okay. All my friends and family are Canadian so it's OK. Mais voir le francais en premiere? Je Me Souviens....
Despite living in Canada and having a VERY French name, the extent of my French vocabulary is "je ne parle pas français".
For its Price you think it would Run Games Better...
why would you be carrying your console while your climbing or running. also falling from a height while climbing i think your console would be the least of your worries.
If you're going to unplug the fan don't just check what the CPU reads, check the power delivery circuit and ram as well. Sometimes those run hot too
if it's a 12V fan and there's a 5V power lead where the connector is maybe it could be run at 7V by tying round to 5V...? That thing is LOUD!
Hmmm, hard to call the shots on this one, it wasn't a f this thing but it wasn't a great review ether, but depending on price I could buy it just as a display in the game room.
Do we really ever grow up? 😂
It's a good looking little unit, I'll give it that. I'm planning on tidying up the rom library and making this my primary TV emulation device.
@@TechDweeb right on!!!
You have to put peanut butter on each piece of bread to seal in that jelly TechDweeb.... SOOO much better
I have much to learn...
I have the cube x3 and I can confirm it's great for ps1 and under but it's super jank and the controllers they send to you are ass. Lol overall I'd say it's worth $100 so imo it's a bit overpriced.

Hi.
Yo
Lddddr3😂 Great content.
TechDweeb: Come for the Dweeb, stay for the D's
It's a rasberri pi 4.
That's all.
There an way to make the fan quitter
I unplugged my fan. It thermally throttles easier but only when you're really pushing it, I use this mostly for lower end systems and there's no problem running without a fan for those. It doesn't make much of a difference in the big picture.
@@TechDweeb what size fan is inside that device do u kno
It is NOT cheap. The prices are creeping up and they are just not worth this money.
Thats a lot of holes
Need lots of holes to accommodate lots of dongles 🤔
Thats so dumb, that the PS1 games no music. I have over 600 games on my retropie and all the music for every game is there.
Looks really cheap and nasty that fan would do my head in.
I like the retro flag case's.
yes LT...the NESPi cases are better quality and design...these Kinhank mini emulator boxes are Mirror image of the official Nintendo mini classics...the black strip is on the opposite side...which annoys my OCD...i have genuine Nintendo and NESPi versions of them...i wouldn't buy these X cubes...but they play ok...if you're not bothered about details...he should fit a smaller fan too...we use 1 inch fans (30mm)
Honestly this just falls again into just building your own emulation system and dumping your own Romset....super console x have been pumping out the same thing over and over and over again.....
If you ask me majority of these things run the same.....
So true
You're saying " giggle byte" , it's giga byte.
