The BEST CHEAP Retro Game Console On Amazon? 90000+ Games!

NES Scanlines: Set the shader to "none", then it will just be the clean crisp pixels. You can do this as a global option, or set it per system, or set it per game.

I have another version of this device and thought that I would share a few take aways. First and foremost, I have seen other videos that totally rag on the controllers being crap, which they are not all that great, but, as someone who was around during the hey day of the Atari 2600 when it first came out, I can tell you that you really don't know what a crappy controller is until you have played with some of those that we had back in the day that were just garbage, yet, we managed to have a good time none the less. Seeing the changes happen through the years from what it was to what it is today, the differences in terms of the controllers alone are night and day to say the least. I also have to agree with everyone saying that the older systems, such as the Atari 2600, ColecoVision, Genesis and the like, those games work pretty well on these little devices. In all honesty, I bought the one that I have because I wanted to play the games from when I was a kid a million years ago and just have some old fashioned fun. Just like music can take you back and make you remember a time and place, so can video games, especially the ones that you played all the time, such as River Raid for me. The first system I ever bought for myself personally with my own money was the Sega Genesis, and, of course, the first game I bought was Mortal Kombat. I quite literally have all three versions of the Sega Genesis system and all work, so, if I really want to get that old school feel and gameplay, I can slide the cartridge in and turn one on and play all day long. This brings me to the overall problem with emulation. No matter what they do, how they present it or how far the technology goes, you will never have the same experience as you would with the real deal originals. As some have said about the PS1 games on these systems, to include the sound for these games would increase the storage space required and subsequently lower the number of games that can be put on these devices as a whole. Then you have to take into account that different hardware is going to respond to different emulators differently, meaning that you are never really going to get a true to life emulation of some of the systems without having to break the bank in terms of hardware. Which brings be to the biggest thing to consider. If you look at the cost of these devices, like the one I bought a couple of years back that cost just shy of $50 on AliExpress, and it comes with 33424 video games on a micro SD card, take into consideration and account that as the system requirements for the more modern games increases, the potential for the video games to run smoothly is going to diminish, if not totally drop off. I knew going in when I bought the one that I did that the device would run the systems I wanted to play, the older ones like the Atari, Genesis, NES, etc, were going to run fine, so, when I came across a game from a more recent device that didn't run well, I didn't really worry about it, so when you go into these things you have to take that into consideration. The other thing you have to take into consideration when buying these devices is to divide the cost by the number of games and what you will come up with is that you are paying fractions of pennies on the dollar for these games, so, if one doesn't work you are not really out all that much aside from being disappointed. But, at the same time, you have to know going in that the device is only capable of so much, beyond that point it simply is not going to work well regardless of the emulator that is used. All of this kind of reminds me of when clients of ours were buying up all of these little Netbook computers because they were small and cheap, thinking that it was going to be this total system replacement for their desktop computer. We tried telling people that they have a lot of limitations while having a lot of potential uses, but, people bought them, found out that they could not do what they wanted the system to do and then complained about the system. It is the same thing that I see with these little devices, they have a place, they have a use and they have their capabilities, if you can accept what they can do and what they cannot do and can pick them up for a reasonable price, great, but, if you do not want to accept that there is a high probability that the device is not going to do more modern games and then complain about it, then who is really to blame for that?

I have the super console X cube from kinhank and I love it. Some games dont play perfectly but for the price it's a great little console to have in a bedroom to play some retro games before bed or when your laying around on a lazy Sunday afternoon lol.

I have the super console X2 pro and it’s very good generally. I use mine for arcade games which it does without problems. I was impressed that it can do the super scalers from sega plus rail shooters. It’ll do Tate mode and works with my arcade stick for shmups. Not everything works or works well but 90% works as it should. 8/10.

I can explain some of the performance issues. Some games rely more on CPU while others rely more on GPU power. Depending on the output of each component and what game you're trying to play, It'll either run silky smooth or slow to a crawl. This is why PC guys recommend decent specs for both

I have the Super Console X3 Plus. For your PS1 games I wonder if you have the rewind feature enabled? I was having issues with my PS1 games running slow too but I figured out that I had the rewind feature turned on and apparently that causes a lot of performance issues for the PSX emulator on the console. Once I disabled the rewind feature my PS1 games ran smoothly.

Hey Shawn I saw your hat and just had to say Let's Go Heat!

We have the Super Console Cube X3 and like it a lot. Going to wait to see if one gets released with the NES style case like the X3.

I really appreciate your review. I have bought a past kinhank release and had a similar experience. I was watching to see if your review would be skewed since it was sent directly to you from the developer, but you stayed true to yourself and I think gave an accurate fair review. Really appreciate you giving valid and unfiltered feedback. I know it must be tough in these situations when a company gives you something to review. You dont want to trash a product, it sounded like you gave good constructive criticism. Hopefully they want to improve the user experience and its not just a cash grab when it comes to their long term vision.

Thanks RGT. This is what I have been looking for. I will be buying this.

I have the old versions and they are amazing to me for what it is for the price. I think it's a 90's kids dream system.

My 6 favorite systems of all time in the thumbnail love 90s gaming

Finally, a YouTuber retro gamer who doesn’t like stupid CRT filters 🤯. Great video.

Everyone's favorite Emulation YouTuber Might have to pick this up 😁 🦆🦆🦆

Lemme tell yah thats a very interesting box for sure. I think I would advise anyone wanting this level of emulation and maybe a little bit more to get a steam deck because I feel like it worth the investment and the set up of emulation on the deck. You can also dock to a big screen so its a win win tbh! Thanks again Shawn and keep up the good work!

This is the type of content I expect to see from a Super Console X4 YouTuber.

Hi, thanks for the review, how much time does the controller batteries last?

Rgt your awesome thanks for the info and thats a real kool knicks hat you have

yeah the music speeds up to in the original Super Street fighter 2 Turbo... I know this because when I bought the Capcom/street fighter collection for PS2.. it did the exact same thing on SSF2Turbo!

I would like to see you review some of the GIANT sized hard drives.. do they have a majority of the newer libraries? Do they really run if you have the right workstation? Get one of those 16TB HDD systems
