DO NOT BUY THE CONSOLE! It doesn't actually support third party controllers like this RUclipsr tells you. All of the settings menus are locked down. It only supports the controller it gets shipped with, which has unusable amount of lag. Total waste of money. I wish I knew before buying it :(
Props for them adding some Street Fighter II V music into their system. That anime was cool and had awesome music. This console is almost what I've been looking for. Thank you for the review.
Great review!! Looks like a great interface and device combo, and I was excited to see about purchasing one, but it is a bit too expensive for me (about $250 US), especially since that includes almost $50 US for shipping / VAT. If the price drops over the next few months to around $150 I would consider getting it then. Thanks again for all the great information you provide!!
Yo I got to get me this. Don't even get me started on that rage on the cage🤘 alwanted to add Cd system to my sega core 😂 awesome demo/ video man keep rocking 😎👍
Hello there awesome job on the reviews i watched some of your videos but some are not available anymore can you tell me wich one is a good console for on my tv wich has a lot of ps and ps2 games and gameboy and nintendo ?
Hey Bro I’m looking to buy a Plug and Play to add to my GAME ROOM what would be a few of your TOP recommendations? Don’t want to spend over 250$ this one ur reviewing seems to be a good one , what’s 2-3 more you feel are as good if not better ?
Have you found a unit like this (for TV) that has a little more games in retro/arcade games? Not looking to build anything, just want to play as many games as possible, mostly older but up to DS & Switch would be great too! Thanks 😊
Thanks for the awesome and informative video. I have to ask. On their website it says the majority of the games are in French. Is that true? Was thinking about getting one.
I’d love an answer to this question, too. So close to getting one of these, but I like my retro RPGs (e.g. Landstalker (Genesis), Ocarina of Time (N64). These would not be playable for me in French.
So I have this.. Do you know how to reconfigure the buttons? We made a mistake and couldn't go back to change the buttons. Seems like you only have one chance. We definitely need help
I had the same problem. I went to a retro game store. He used a connector with a dual joystick slot on iy. So he could use my original joystick and one from the store. It took about five minutes. I hope this helps.
Awesome review. Impressive. !!! You are most definitely one of the best game content creators. Alphabetical order is just awesome. However , maybe it’s best if it was sorted by collections. Wish there were lots more than 10,000 games. There are builds which have lots more for the Same price as this console . This device should have had more memory !!! Sounds like there are no duplicates !!! We need specs of a pc !!! Has some more ports that other consoles don’t have !! Finally , not a product from China !!!! I am surprised the emulation was perfect for N64 and Dreamcast. !!!
Finally, a genuine analysis and a constructive, insightful comment. Indeed, there has been significant effort put into refining the interface and optimization.
Is it possible to take roms off of that one's SDcard and transfer them to your own batocera without being connected to the Internet ( online )while you do it?
@@danwill515 I haven’t don’t anything with batocera so I can’t say for sure but I did buy my kids some cheap $40 handhelds that came preloaded with thousands of roms. I was absolutely able to copy large numbers of roms and successfully play them on my Retroid Pockef 2s so I know it’s possible and being connected to the internet has nothing to do with transferring files from one sd card onto another.
@@danwill515Of course it is. But why buy a console like this if that's all you're wanting to do? You're better off getting a loaded retro game drive or SD card. That way you're not paying for something that you're not going to use.
its just an android tv box with mid range cpu s905x3 ..rebranded as time machine with se card of emuelec and roms sold many times its price...it can be made easily in 50 dollars by buying it separately from ali express and making an emuelec sd card of your own ..if anyone want an awesome emulation performance ill prefer get s922x it will be awesome will emulate almost everything till dreamcast
It would really help in these videos if you also try to upscale the games and let us know how much you can upscale with each of the more popular systems.
great review but over $250 for a retropie system I have a total of 15000 + on my system and it didn't cost this much to do. But if someone doesn't want to do the work and have a great system still seems cool.
Would his have the light gun games on or do you need to buy retro shooter or go the PC route ? I’m desperate to find something with light guns, light gun games and all the old retro controller games too seen you light gun videos I have no idea what to do
It has some but I wouldn't recommend it for that. A gaming pc or mini gaming plus plus a game drive focusing entirely on light gun would be the more ideal approach. Depends what light you want to use sjnden, retro shooters, or gun4ir. All are good. Proms and cons to each of course too.
@@OfficialChaseBrogan thanks for the reply I can’t find any one UK who could build a system offering light gun games and the full retro game side too then maybe order the retro shooter guns and hub as they seem to be best plug and play option
@@marcquinn8230KrisCoolmod has a 16 TB drive that offers a full array of retro games including light gun games that are fully set up to work with the retro shooter guns. And he definitely ships to the UK.
I don’t need 10k games. I just want 200-300 games that all work well. The classics and a few hard to find gems. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Don't buy this device. The input lag on the wireless controllers is so bad you can't even precisely play retro games. It also locks you out of using your own wired controllers. With shipping this device can cost over $200. Not worth it for a device you can't reliably play. Buyer beware.
These affiliate marketers for the device are running a borderline scam operation! The device they "review" isn't the same, locked-down version that is shipped to actual customers. I bought the console AND a Machenike gamepad for $300 due to this review and the console is complete unusable garbage :(
Old Guy question here 🤚🏼*Are there any of these ready to play HDMI plug in play emulators/ hard drives that are loaded up with tons of HOCKEY, basketball, football and baseball games from ATARI, NES, Sega Genesis, PS I, 2 to PS 3 ? I'm really mostly into sports and Midway- SNK - Capcom- Namco Hits collections too..I don't know much about electronics, disabled & I don't have a $1000 gaming computer with water in it like my son has who's too busy working & raising a child thanks for any IDEAS 🕹️👾
Hello Ich habe die Arcade Box gekauft (die mit dem roten Joystick auf der Front )leider hat sie jetzt den grünen Bildschirm was kann man machen das sie wieder funktioniert. Many grettings from Germany
I think the Super Console Cube X3 is possibly better and only $130 with 2 controllers, it plays all the same stuff and the PlayStation titles I've tried have music unlike a lot of these types of lower end consoles. Granted the controller for this one does look ok if it's not cheaply made.
Kinhank's console? Usually they have drives this is a console. Kinhank does have a console but it's littered with duplicates which pads the numbers of games falsely. This one doesn't do that which is why I believe it to be better. The game counts is almost always completely BS with any of the plug and play options. That's the first thing I look at when reviewing stuff. If it advertises say 50k games is it legit that number or are there 10 of each title which sounds outlandish but 9 times out of 10 that's exactly what is going on.
@@OfficialChaseBrogan this is potentially a deal breaker for me. I don't want to play 7,000 odd games in French or whatever. Did you have to pick and choose your way through the catalogue to make your video? The UI and descriptions were all in English from the looks of things. Please can you explain what exactly was in French and what wasn't.
@@OfficialChaseBrogan So, you can change languages in each respective emulator, not as a global console change? If a game cannot be translated, can the average person still play it? And what happens when you need to search a game- what if it doesn't recognize English? Then what. I am just undecided between THIS and the 500GB Batocera External HD that looks like a cassette, but needs a PC to play the games. I assume (?) that all the games in that are English (unless they are those "other" imports you mentioned in that review.)
One should try both consoles before making such statements, as with the Chinese model, half of the games either won't start or are buggy, whereas on the other, all games are tested and optimized. It's like night and day 🤦♂️
How do you not know how alphabetizing works? Numbers come before letters, ie: 007. And predecessor words like "The" and "A" are omitted. Should've paid attention in school more. Too busy playing video games i guess
If we take others similar previews into a count then if it doesn't have crusin usa 64 on it or it doesn't work properly then the same will most likely be the same with GoldenEye simply because it doesn't pack enough "juice".. personally I think exotic is a terrible game compared to world and usa..

That's like asking "why would someone bother" reviewing a PC since there are other models that use the same hardware. Just because you're not personally interested (and I'm not either) doesn't mean there's no reason to review it. Also, while this unit may use the same S905X3 processor as most of the other android-based retro consoles, I've never seen this particular build before.
Time Machine: travel in time guaranteed. Great review!
Awesome! Thanks!
Nicely done set up with all the box art and everything. Only downside is i would like more games with a bigger sd card
This retro game console seems to be really good. The only games I miss are C64 and Amiga games. I wonder why they didn't include them.
