I am just surprised he can’t get in trouble for encouraging people to buy it if they don’t own all of them, I am not saying he should, but just surprised.
Even if you own a copy of every game on the console it's not legal. The only loophole for ROM ownership is the clause that allows the owner of a physical game to keep a ROM file of that game for 24 hours for backup purposes. Once you continue using the ROMs beyond 24 hours, you're breaching the terms.
I was priced out of the retro market years ago. While not perfect. This is a viable option for me and the kids to play many classics. Thank you so much for bringing it to my attention.
Yea, today, retro collecting isn't about playing them, it's about just having the original product, which is actually kind of good. That said, if you are a serious retro collector, it is EXPENSIVE. The funniest part is the worst consoles/games often have the highest prices because of their rarity.
I love your positivity and warm nature good Sir. You probably won't read this comment but your videos lift my spirits and show me the world is not full of doom and gloom. Keep going what your doing. You rock Mr. Hancock.
Your collection is absolutely amazing. I'm so glad I kept all my consoles from nes, snes, sega genesis, dreamcast, ps, ps2, Xbox, gamecube, wii, Xbox 360, wii u and switch. I just wish I kept my games as well. Ur videos helped me decide to keep my consoles....I love your videos John and I wish you nothing but the best......make gaming great again and shout out from NJ
I had put that on my list to Santa, but didn't get one. Cool to hear a collector like yourself to give this device, what sounds like, a positive review. I like collecting but don't want complete collections, just stuff like trying to have my favorite series that kinda thing, I honestly think emulation is great, as long as the hardware can in fact handle the console
I bought the one that looks like a mini SNES before Christmas. Worth getting just for the fact several emulators for these machines are a nightmare to set up.
I normally have little interest in these sort of emu boxes, but at this price (£30) I'm having one. It's too bloody cheap to offer a simple HDMI solution for a load of consoles and have them so portable. Thank you John. I plan to keep all my original consoles upstairs for use while I'm in bed (as I'm disabled) and have this unit for sat downstairs. Seems bloody perfect for the job.
This is an insane deal! I got bought a NES when I was 6 or 7 and my parents tried to get me to complete games before buying me a new one, single games also cost more than this whole package in the 80s! I can’t even imagine what I’d have thought about something like this back then. I have seen similar consoles before but expected the emulation to be poor, even as a learning tool to brush up on a lot of old games this has to be worth it. I’ve spent £70 on PS5 games I haven’t even bothered installing! Really impressed, like a lot of people I thought John was going to say something along the lines of “yeah it has all this stuff, but it all runs terribly and is a bad way to experience these games”, I’m going to get one. I do collect, but realistically, I’m not collecting 50,000 games unless Elon Musk works out a way we can live to be 1000 years old! Even then, boxed NES games are going to be expensive in 1000 years!
Pretty dissapointing that there are only 54 PS1 games on the 128GB version. I was expecting at least 200, considering how that is arguably the most popular console.
@@johnhancockretro I keep thinking, "Will this get me in trouble?" considering it holds tons of games and everyone can't shut up over the legality of ROM preservation. This can save me time and money, but can I also eat the cake without it being a lie?
@@christopherthibeault7502 I mean if it was illegal I’m sure it wouldn’t be online for you to buy it, if it was then it would probably be on the deep web. Emulation boxes have been around for a while now and I don’t think you will get in trouble at all
@@Darklacuna Okay. I tried to buy it in fact, but some kind of error combined with appeal process that demanded a photo ID made me think twice anyway. I might try again, but I'm not looking forward to another error code.
I was expecting a 50,000 video game emulator to be garbage but I am very impressed, Hancock. Best of all, the price is affordable so thank you, John Hancock.
I am the target demographic for this machine. I would love to play games from my childhood, plus others that I saw back then, but didn't get to play. Yet I do not have the time, to start collecting a ton of vintage consoles. I'm definitely interested.
I have been looking at the various systems that are out that come with 60,000 games and they are running for 400 to 600 bucks. Getting this for 80 is a great deal.
xbox original coinOPs ultimate with 63000+ games in 2005-2010 the package was 80GB torrent but back then n64 was garbage and anything newer didnt work yet
To be fair, these kind of things are good if you (like myself) aren't into setting stuff up on PC and tracking down arcade game files. Seems to work great! And its pretty cheap!
@Mystic I think I've ordered a Warhammer model part from them, but it was so long ago. So I can't comment on the website as it is now. But I will say when I buy online I do use PayPal whenever possible, just because you can enable another authorization process.
Been looking for something like this after I decided I don't want loads of consoles and games lying around not to mention the huge cost. I'm far from a casual gamer, but maybe I am these days in the sense I got bored of games, but I like the idea of having most of them which I can jump into and play for nostalgia or general interest, especially the older stuff. I will probably buy this, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
If you were into Amiga games back in the day I would recommend you buy the RETROSTATION because that one has the same consoles but it also includes Amiga emulator with tons of games! I used my own wireless mini-keyboard (not included) and used it to play classic adventures like Monkey Island and especially the Leisure Suit Larry, King's Quest, Police Quest and Space Quest games! 90s Sierra was the best!!
Surprised it performs so well for that price. The major step in emulator console deals is finding something that can reliably do "all" PS2 games, normally you need a certain Nvidia Shield model for that horsepower while I just went for a modded PS3 (which is large and not silent, clunky and not using solid state storage). We'd all love to play original games on original hardware, "You want this Super Mario Bros 1 cart that barely survived a house-fire? That'll be $75. Should have picked it up in 2019 for $5 instead, deal with it".
All the super console X boxes represent probably the best value retro games experience you can buy. Great to give to your kid so they can play the games mum and dad played as kids without spending a fortune on original hardware and carts! Or to stop the kids playing with your treasured collection! And for me just having almost instant access to almost every game you ever owned between 1975 and 2003. Which is very cool. I love my SCX PRO.
Really enjoyed this video! I love seeing these pieces of hardware that do emulation in different ways - while it's not my preferred way to play, it's frequently the most cost effective way for people to play classic games. Great content - I think I'm gonna order one of these!
Thanks SO much for the review. I've really wanted to get something like this for me and my boys, but I've been afraid of getting scammed. Truth be told, the website does look a little sketch and the different options are kinda unclear, but your endorsement goes a long way. I'll try to talk my wife into it. :)
Ditto. Couch co op is a blast with my kids. I saw this same one is on Amazon for $99. but only 12 left in stock at the time. also one thats 10 bucks cheaper. same name, has less games but same chip and has plenty in stock.
Oh man this is perfect for me. I hate having to hunt down roms and do t really have time to fiddle with pc settings. Definitely looking into this one. The price isn't insane either.
Thank you John. This is exactly what I have been looking for my collection. Iam a retro game Collector and space is very limited to me being that I live in New York City. So this is perfect. I was looking to buy something like this for a while and I just watched your video and jumped the gun.You are a legend 👏.
dude you msaade my life that has taken many struggles currently just get better i am 14 and it is my birthday in a few days (technically I'm 13 rn) but i think my parents will say yes to me getting this for my birthday and i have always wanted to play some of these but i could not afford i barely could afford my PC that me and my dad worked on and i saved up 150 dollars to be able to run some new games but i never had any console of my generation but now thanks to you i can play some of the best classic and some rare games i would not be able to play thanks man i wish i could thank you in some way
I have one of these & it is a brilliant little piece of kit - as long as you limit your expectations. It runs everything up to 16 bit really well, even playstation emulation (at least with the installed games) is really good N64 is hit & miss however, remember this is just a repurposed android tv box in a (really cool) fancy case. That said, the 64gb version (33000 games) is more than enough for everyone, you don't just have to use the included controllers and you can copy everything off the card onto your pc to create your own emulation setup if you want. Great little system though!
Great video John, thank you. Is there anywhere I can find a list of games? Specifically looking for NBA Jam TE for MAME as well as NFL Blitz for DC - Thanks!
favorited, i'll definitely have to nab this in the future for console emulators that are a pain in the neck to setup as well as consoles that have way too many games for a conventional PC to store. Viva La Emulation!
Awesome to see bud. I’m a 47yr old gamer myself. I have a couple of modded consoles, one system has 25,000 games and the other 20,000 on it. More games than I couldn’t finish in 10 life times haha. It’s nice to see other gamer veterans that also appreciate some gems that younger generations have missed out on and can now play. Thank you for sharing
Considering what I paid for to build my 70,000 entry Raspberry Pi 3+ "NESPi", £61 for the max load is actually a pretty good deal. As not only did I have to buy the Pi but the NESPi case, the 32g card, a image file from ebay to fill that 32g but to be fair it was fully set up with Retroarch all configured, plus controllers, a little fan for the case and a power supply for the Pi and a decent HDMI cable for the Pi and that comes to a lot more than the £61 by my reckoning.
Exactly who I was looking for... trying to understand how this compares to a Raspberry Pi... can you share more of how they differ? Trying to figure out if the Raspberry is worth it spending more for.
I was skeptical but I'm honestly pretty impressed. The video output looks pretty clean and my Pi 3B+ doesn't even run Dreamcast games well. As a cheap, all-in-one solution, it seems pretty nice. Not something I'd spend any of my collector's budget on, but surprisingly good.
I've got to Super Console X Pro, this is virtually exactly the same as this one, I only ever played the Mega Drive a little bit back in the day and got it now though 😊. Its so nice to just go onto a system and play some games straight out the box.
Yes, I agree with jamalais - John, you certainly give your opinion straight up, talking about products for what they are. No more, no less. Thanks again.
To make the screen larger on the gameboy emulators, press both analogue sticks st the same time , press B, then go to VIDEO, then SCALING, ASPECT RATIO, then select CORE PROVIDED, then click both sticks again and HEY PRESTO! Full screen gameboy, or whatever emulator you like! Hope this helps
Love these little cheap Android boxes. I managed to pick up a cheap "Arcade Box" version of this with clone PS controllers for £40 delivered. It's completely loaded and surprisingly handles emulation quite well for what is basically a low spec Android box (some early version of the Amlogic S905 CPU with Mali 450 GPU... Nothing recent).
I bought this right away after seeing your video its a good price and has stuff I have been wanting to play but the emulators are hard to set up. So thanks for the recommendation!!
Defender was one of my favorites on the atari 2600. Zelda is one of my favorites on nintendo. Nice video by the way. There are many game consoles like this one I have noticed now. Which one do you think is the best, and worth getting? I wouldnt mind getting one of these for me and my two kids to play with together. It definately brings back alot of good memories. I was a only child, and didnt have a sibling as a playmate, so I played, and still do play games.
I've wanted to get one of these for the longest time. Thanks for highlighting the Odyssey2. I had one of those when I was young and seeing it in action brought back so many memories.
So this may seem like a stupid question but in theory is this system illegal? How do they sell it if it is illegal? Seems to me if they turn a blind eye to it it must not be illegal.
I bought this from amazon and it wouldn't load up right & I had to return it for them to send me another one and it works thank gawd! It is a good system just be sure if u order it you have the option to return it if u have issues.
Thank you so much for reviewing this console. I'm collecting video games, consoles and home computers for 40 years (1st one was a pong clone). This console is a wonderful thing to check out systems I don't own like the atari 5200 which was never available in Switzerland / Europe.
Thank you for this video, John. Just received my Console after only waiting eight days (China to England), even with the Chinese New Year upcoming! Box damaged and rattling inside machine! Okay, just the LED casing loose, easy to clip back in. Very pleased with it, although some games don't work (Mame games say Emulator wrong?). For simple Plug in and Play, it's worth it. See you in about 30 years :)
The link takes you to a version with 62,000 games. And go search the site it appears there are even bigger versions that go much higher like 82,000 that all sounds amazing, the review is for the 50,000. Anyone recently buy this and could comment? Is there spyware or other malevolent concerns for network aka man in the middle!?!?
I bought it. It's legit. Regarding the increase of games, what I think has happened is that they have recently added more emus and roms to their sd cards. So basically, the game set he is referring to is being phased out.
I have purchased several of the super console x pro that i actually found at one of my local goodwill stores. Works pretty good on a lot of the games including ps1 and n64
This (and other Super Console X models) can also connect OTG with the Legends Arcade Ecosystem..hook up a usb keyboard and LOVE those old computers. The arcade stick works great with a lot of the games, Doesn't work with analog control games on the ALU, but SO many work great
@Dave Munsie allows you to play arcade style games with your ALU, that it could not normally play. (Soul Calibur, Killer Instinct, etc) but is limited by the control panel. Nothing that requires analog stick will work, but MANY do
I played Colecovision, and TI/99/4A, and you never see emulation for the TI, but, I went back and played "Venture" on my modded Xbox. Wow! Gaming was intense back in the early 80s. Is there Coleco on this? TI, i doubt, because you have to press keyboard keys to start game.
The "Immortal" Mr Hancock delivering the retro gaming goods again ! Thanks for making me discovering this one (as well as the link to buy it). I grew up playing mostly on my computeur Atari ST 520 And when I saw my old comp appearing on this list I was "INSTANT BUY !" . It is amazing that such "console" also features MANY Computers & thier games ! I just hope it will be possible to add both a physical keyboard & mouse to it real soon !
Which one did you happen to get? John claims the version he has is the 50,000 game one with the 128gb card and 2 PS style controllers. The website shows that version only coming with 41,000 games.
I bought this on Amazon for about $120. I'd say it's worth it. The N64 games can have some issues, but overall, even if you played 200 of the games, it's worth it. Kids would LOVE it.
@@G_STYLIN Meh, I can afford it. Would rather overpay on a few items in life than be a trolling hater. Also, I get laid on a regular basis. Nobody named Olivier ever gets laid
I love these things! Spot on emulation for majority of the retro consoles before N64. These things could kill retro gaming stores though if you think about it. I love.collecting but most people are cheap and will discover these and never collect again... Who knows. These are still well made for china stuff though !
I have the console X Pro, I barley found a out this at this moment. The system allow you to use your own controller, which in my case I use my X-arcade dual joystick. Unlike Pandora Box that just jerks you around, the console X actually gives you a lot of games and not just hacks and repeats of the same title.
Man, I’ll probably pick one of these up. I’ve added a bunch of roms to my NES and SNES classic, added an optical drive emulator to an old Dreamcast, and bought a Retroid Pocket 2+ for PS1 and other consoles. But if i can have everything here in one package, I have no reason to not pick one up, even if it’s of only moderate quality.
Got mine for £40 delivered to the UK with the smallest memory card and about 30k games. Really impressed with it and seems to emulate everything upto the mid 90s well including Dreamcast etc. Gutted I didnt go for the 50k games version as I've missed out on the Sharp X68000 and Amiga stuff. One of the controllers stopped working in the first week but other than that I have ZERO complaints for the money. It's even packaged quite well!

As not only did I have to buy the Pi but the NESPi case, the 32g card, a image file from ebay to fill that 32g but to be fair it was fully set up with Retroarch all configured, plus controllers, a little fan for the case and a power supply for the Pi and a decent HDMI cable for the Pi and that comes to a lot more than the £61 by my reckoning.
lag though, you need a crt.
Exactly who I was looking for... trying to understand how this compares to a Raspberry Pi... can you share more of how they differ? Trying to figure out if the Raspberry is worth it spending more for.
This seems pretty cool, but what's the catch? Are there any cons? Thanks for the video, John.
so nice of John C Reilly to do these videos for us between acting & comedy
This actually looks awesome, I think I might have to get one of these
Damn
This is so cool I always wanted get this games but are hard to find them, the 90's consoles were part of my childhood
Shinigami san, try aliexpress as seam cheap
I was skeptical but I'm honestly pretty impressed. The video output looks pretty clean and my Pi 3B+ doesn't even run Dreamcast games well. As a cheap, all-in-one solution, it seems pretty nice. Not something I'd spend any of my collector's budget on, but surprisingly good.
I've got to Super Console X Pro, this is virtually exactly the same as this one, I only ever played the Mega Drive a little bit back in the day and got it now though 😊.
Its so nice to just go onto a system and play some games straight out the box.
Wow, this is a great way to get an instant "collection" of games! It' remarkable that it also has Intellivision, Atari systems and the Odyssey 2!
Just wish it had Colecovision. Any all in-one systems like these that also has ColecoVision games?
are the controls on intellivison all working?
Thank you for sharing this video. This was very informative and was nice to see all the difference consoles.
The emulation of the games seems to be rather good! Will keep my eye on that. Thanks for the showcasing!
50 000 games - I'm pretty much set for life! Even if half of those games are bad, that still leaves me 25 000 good games to play!
How is this so cheap? It seems too good to be true
My payment didn't go through twice. I think the universe is trying to tell me something. Thank for all the content Immortal J.
I need this! It's complete. Enough for many years of gaming! Love the nostalgia!👍😃
You can't lose You can only win with this one.
And not one single
" Ball Hair Shaving Ad"....
Good stuff
I'll tell you something wow I cannot believe the details you put it into the description is incredible
Man console looks amazing all the systems you can play on this just crazy
Yes, I agree with jamalais - John, you certainly give your opinion straight up, talking about products for what they are. No more, no less. Thanks again.
To make the screen larger on the gameboy emulators, press both analogue sticks st the same time , press B, then go to VIDEO, then SCALING, ASPECT RATIO, then select CORE PROVIDED, then click both sticks again and HEY PRESTO! Full screen gameboy, or whatever emulator you like! Hope this helps
Very helpful and thank you.
Good look for putting this video out. Just started my 50s, so all of these games are my favorites, especially that boat racing game.
Love these little cheap Android boxes. I managed to pick up a cheap "Arcade Box" version of this with clone PS controllers for £40 delivered. It's completely loaded and surprisingly handles emulation quite well for what is basically a low spec Android box (some early version of the Amlogic S905 CPU with Mali 450 GPU... Nothing recent).
I bought this right away after seeing your video its a good price and has stuff I have been wanting to play but the emulators are hard to set up. So thanks for the recommendation!!
How long did it take to arrive?
Defender was one of my favorites on the atari 2600. Zelda is one of my favorites on nintendo. Nice video by the way. There are many game consoles like this one I have noticed now. Which one do you think is the best, and worth getting? I wouldnt mind getting one of these for me and my two kids to play with together. It definately brings back alot of good memories. I was a only child, and didnt have a sibling as a playmate, so I played, and still do play games.
I've wanted to get one of these for the longest time. Thanks for highlighting the Odyssey2. I had one of those when I was young and seeing it in action brought back so many memories.
Glad I could help!
I wonder how "Hey You, Pikachu!" would work on this, given that the game requires the use of a special controller with a microphone.
So this may seem like a stupid question but in theory is this system illegal? How do they sell it if it is illegal? Seems to me if they turn a blind eye to it it must not be illegal.
If you played 1 game per day it would take 137 years to play them all
for me it was all about the super Nintendo RPGs growing up.
I bought this one myself, so far i'm really impressed for what it can do for the price i paid good stuff.
What controllers did you pick playstation or snes ? How are the controllers holding up..what system did you get the 50thousand game one thanks.
Trying to find something like this can be a bit difficult because you don't want to get screwed. Appreciate these videos sir.
I think I need this for a pleasant trip down video game nostalgia lane! Thanks for sharing
Hi, I have a question if I may. Does the console save the games progress automatically or do you have to save the progress manually? Thanks
Most of the games don't save
This is cool, i modded my snes mini and ehh, just takes too much time, very little space. Got the 256g for 80 bucks, not bad. thanks man.
theres a console called the Power Kracker. With over 76,000 games on it.
I bought this from amazon and it wouldn't load up right & I had to return it for them to send me another one and it works thank gawd! It is a good system just be sure if u order it you have the option to return it if u have issues.
Thank you so much for reviewing this console. I'm collecting video games, consoles and home computers for 40 years (1st one was a pong clone).
This console is a wonderful thing to check out systems I don't own like the atari 5200 which was never available in Switzerland / Europe.
Thank you for this video, John. Just received my Console after only waiting eight days (China to England), even with the Chinese New Year upcoming! Box damaged and rattling inside machine! Okay, just the LED casing loose, easy to clip back in. Very pleased with it, although some games don't work (Mame games say Emulator wrong?). For simple Plug in and Play, it's worth it. See you in about 30 years :)
Awesome video dude, really enjoyed it. What a cool wee console.
I've looked up this console. The only complaint I have is no PS2 or Gamecube emulation.
ya, you pretty much have to get a modded Wii for that
The link takes you to a version with 62,000 games. And go search the site it appears there are even bigger versions that go much higher like 82,000 that all sounds amazing, the review is for the 50,000. Anyone recently buy this and could comment? Is there spyware or other malevolent concerns for network aka man in the middle!?!?
I bought it. It's legit. Regarding the increase of games, what I think has happened is that they have recently added more emus and roms to their sd cards. So basically, the game set he is referring to is being phased out.
I have purchased several of the super console x pro that i actually found at one of my local goodwill stores. Works pretty good on a lot of the games including ps1 and n64
Yup! And I paired it with a Logitech wireless controller. Really good to scratch that retro itch.
You’ve got me so hyped for playing this console!
This (and other Super Console X models) can also connect OTG with the Legends Arcade Ecosystem..hook up a usb keyboard and LOVE those old computers. The arcade stick works great with a lot of the games, Doesn't work with analog control games on the ALU, but SO many work great
@Dave Munsie allows you to play arcade style games with your ALU, that it could not normally play. (Soul Calibur, Killer Instinct, etc) but is limited by the control panel. Nothing that requires analog stick will work, but MANY do
I played Colecovision, and TI/99/4A, and you never see emulation for the TI, but, I went back and played "Venture" on my modded Xbox.
Wow! Gaming was intense back in the early 80s.
Is there Coleco on this? TI, i doubt, because you have to press keyboard keys to start game.
No Coleco/TI
The "Immortal" Mr Hancock delivering the retro gaming goods again ! Thanks for making me discovering this one (as well as the link to buy it). I grew up playing mostly on my computeur Atari ST 520 And when I saw my old comp appearing on this list I was "INSTANT BUY !" . It is amazing that such "console" also features MANY Computers & thier games ! I just hope it will be possible to add both a physical keyboard & mouse to it real soon !
It's cheaper on that site
Your gonna make me buy one.
Big thanks for the video. Just ordered the 70k+ version. Really hoping that it is as good as you say. :)
I got one of these after watching this and it has brought much joy to my life! Thank you for bringing this device to my attention!
Which one did you happen to get? John claims the version he has is the 50,000 game one with the 128gb card and 2 PS style controllers. The website shows that version only coming with 41,000 games.
Great tip, bought one on Amazon 5 mins ago.
Wow :-O that lot video games on this mini video game console this thing. By the way awesome video man 😎!
Thanks for reviewing this for us man!
I rolled the dice and bought one. Mainly want to play the NES games and Hacks.
I bought this on Amazon for about $120. I'd say it's worth it. The N64 games can have some issues, but overall, even if you played 200 of the games, it's worth it. Kids would LOVE it.
120 dollars is very expensive, I bought it 50 dollars
@@G_STYLIN congratulations.
@@stupidd6513 thats the standard price on aliexpress .. Congratulation throwing youre money youre name say it all
@@G_STYLIN Meh, I can afford it. Would rather overpay on a few items in life than be a trolling hater. Also, I get laid on a regular basis. Nobody named Olivier ever gets laid
@@G_STYLIN yo poor ya old fool lmao
I love these things! Spot on emulation for majority of the retro consoles before N64.
These things could kill retro gaming stores though if you think about it.
I love.collecting but most people are cheap and will discover these and never collect again... Who knows.
These are still well made for china stuff though !
I want to get this thing so bad, a bit nervous off of ordering from AliExpress... Is the site safe?
when you have to scroll through 48,000 games to get to the one you wanted to play a few days ago when you started scrolling through the games..
I have the console X Pro, I barley found a out this at this moment. The system allow you to use your own controller, which in my case I use my X-arcade dual joystick. Unlike Pandora Box that just jerks you around, the console X actually gives you a lot of games and not just hacks and repeats of the same title.
Man, I’ll probably pick one of these up. I’ve added a bunch of roms to my NES and SNES classic, added an optical drive emulator to an old Dreamcast, and bought a Retroid Pocket 2+ for PS1 and other consoles. But if i can have everything here in one package, I have no reason to not pick one up, even if it’s of only moderate quality.
Got mine for £40 delivered to the UK with the smallest memory card and about 30k games. Really impressed with it and seems to emulate everything upto the mid 90s well including Dreamcast etc. Gutted I didnt go for the 50k games version as I've missed out on the Sharp X68000 and Amiga stuff. One of the controllers stopped working in the first week but other than that I have ZERO complaints for the money. It's even packaged quite well!
Do the games come ready to play? I’ve seen some ppl say you must download
@@bigplb2133 All games were ready to play on mine. :)
@@subliminalvcr nice! Just ordered mine off Amazon, was a bit worried haha
I love this thing, it does get really really hot though so I prop it up on a small sauce bowl.
Does the arcade have blitz?
