I got one for $40 shipped and I love it. Plays well. Some mame games that don't boot up can be fixed by changing emulators. Well worth the money. I use a Logitech F310 controller and it recognized it right away. One of the best controllers. I only wish it was a 256gig instead of a 64gig. I find mostly all systems run very well. Great purchase
I have it too. I also use the Logitech controller you are using. I would be interested in somehow copying the exact image over to a 128 gb card and adding more PS1 games to it....because past PS1 this thing really doesn't handle too well. Which is fine because it is a beast for everything PS1 and earlier. Love it. Cheap considering raspberry pis cost waayyy to much right now.
I recently got one of these and have mostly had no major issues with it, one issue I did have is that most of the time controls have to be set up and changed for each game - if you are not sure what each button does in a game then it can be a problem. I got it because A - it was cheap but performs most of the systems quite well, B - because you can add and remove items (useful when roms may be missing or need to be added to get them to work better). Secondly, the number of systems is very good - including some game and watch games. Yes some of the systems will need a keyboard and mouse - perhaps - but it is worth paying this price as opposed to the more expensive price for something which might not work so well. The number of games/roms is also quite extensive too!
Hey, maybe someone can help me. i just bought this box and it is pretty awesome. My plan was to get an oldschool type 8bitdo bluetooth controller for it. But this box has Android "firmware 3.9" ...and the 8bitdo Controllers require (for example) "Android 4.0" or "9.0 or higher". I'm not so sure, but would that little USB-brick from 8bitdo solve this problem - or am i just stuck very old bluetooth controllers (or wired ones)?
Agree, me too...really like it...only thing I haven't done yet was try it with different controllers that hopefully would work better than the ones that came with it.
@@marcperreault8440 I using a ps3 controller. The c buttons are mapped to the right stick. So square and x are a and b that makes it really akward. Also make sure you have the analog on on the pack in controllers. Center button has to be lit up.
Considering this for my four year old son. Get him into gaming. He wants a arcade. So I think this will be good to build him a little arcade tabletop. Inexpensive and a good starter arcade box for him.
I got this about 2 weeks ago and I have no complaints, just normal stuff with these cheap boxes... more demanding games don't always work but 99% of games will be fine
I've seen this revised before, and on eBay there are somewhat higher price ranges depending on the storage and SD card sizes. Excellent starter gift for someone who wants to run emulators, but are not tech wizards! Would love it if they made a playstation game listing that included Jade Cocoon on these Emu Elec consoles. Obscure titles need love too!
I wonder if you can copy/ clone SD card & use a better quality SanDisk yourself, or one with larger capacity, to be able to add games in collection or favorites that may not be included?

It's great you tested it with another USB controller. Some of these boxes don't let you use anything else. For example that X5 Game Box. For me it would be a deal breaker with any device regardless the cost.
@@reppinNY not all the games work alot of the mame don't work. Dreamcast is hit or miss. Some work some don't. Ps1 was good. As I said mame has quite a few not working. Though the games that do work play well. Not noticed any overheating I normally play for a hour max though. Hope that helps
Thank you very much. Will two more wireless controllers work for you, to play with a total of four controllers. Since for each pair of controllers is a one USB receiver.
@Kristian Moore The motherboard and the chipset are exactly the same in these three models: Amlogic S905M and one GB of ram. The WG-reviewed version of Super Console X with fan also packs the same old stuff.
i didn't know batocera was on the pi, i'd probably stick to recalbox anyway. N64 might be a little hard to work on it, but it's easy to set up and it's had great performance on most systems
I bought the same one, but i got a 4pin connector right where the power Switch is. I Will try to Connect a small fan and see what happens . I see in your video that you have the holes for the connector but is missing the pins. MB.S905.01 is the name of my motherboard 👍
FINALY a GOOD review where the voltage is mentioned too. So many crap reviews out there that do half the information. Man o man. Thx for sharing this. I finaly know i can run this on 12v for my camper TV. 😃
@@nickadventure2286 ok i will also try 3.9 again and do some more testing . I also try DS New Super Mario Bros on 4.3 and there is no lag in the control / controller
@@nickadventure2286 Yes i was not expecting to play PSP or Dreamcast on this box anyway . The box is just not powerful enough. I am happy to go as far as Playstation 1 . All the best to you.
the standard 33,000 one comes with two and that is sonic adventure 2 and marvel vs capcom 2. both run well. the 55,000 one comes with 24 dreamcast games like power stone 1 & 2, DOA, crazy taxi 1 & 2, virtual fighter -does not work well, and marvel vs capcom 2. I really like the 55,000 better but I slapped it into a arcade1up for fun
Good Video. I wonder if you can copy/ clone SD card & use a better quality SanDisk yourself, or one with larger capacity, to be able to add games in collection or favorites that may not be included, like other RPG'S?
@@WickedGamerCollector Thanks so very much for the reply. Do you know how large/ max capacity the SD card can be? ....and is better to get Arcade Box or Pawky box is it? Like, which 1 has more RAM? Especially for playing RPG'S.
I got one but have found that many roms are missing in mame 😭 and the zx spectrum and Atari st don't work on the joypad, need to try them with a keyboard.. but overall an very happy with it
does this console have some kind of reset option when trying to add a different microsd card? does the image have to be pi3 or 4 or odroid? i have another pi3 image on a 32gb micro sd but then it just boots into android
If you connect an xbox 360 controller to one of these chinese boxes, do you need to configure the buttons? Or will the 360 controller work immediately,?
I know you posted this a year ago, but got my arcade box a few months back and was wondering if you've found any way to save game progress on this thing?
How is this compared to the 44$ one previously reviewed? Also dont forget to recommend some good wireless controllers instead of those cheap chemical stuff.
Some assembly required. 12 volt seems kind of high for a product like this. I was expecting 5v maximum from this. Will a Series X or PS5 controller work for these kinds of boxes? I ask because we really don't have any of the older controllers readily available any longer. We also have Switch Pro controllers as well. I might have a few Xbox One controllers laying around and a few PS3 one's as well. For reference- Most of our 7th and 8th generation stuff is boxed away. If I could use original Sega Saturn, PSX, N64, Neo Geo AES, Neo Geo CDZ, Snes, Genesis 3/6 button, Master System, and or Nes controllers I'd be set...but that of course isn't the case (obviously). Man that would be amazing to have a Saturn *Japanese controller for a little box like this.
I got this console, it's a great deal for the money and it has over 30,000 games. My only complaints are it's only 64gb and many of the computer games don't work properly with the included controllers
My controller got messed up i was messin with the controll settings is there a way to reset it back to default? my only button works is L1 and R1 the rest don’t work
Quick question. I have Super Console X Pro and my son and I LOVE IT! I heard that I shouldnt download the update fot it. Should I or shouldnt I? Thank you.
Hey so I got this and I took out the sd card and put it back in. And how it boots to android tv and not EmuElec. How do I make it boot to EmuElec by default again?
Once the emulec start screen finishes, it's just a black screen, I can hear the sound, but no picture. My TV is a pretty old wide-screen, the hdmi seems to go off after title screen. Do you have any ideas why?
I accidentally got out of the software and i now have no idea of how to return the console. It now shows me an android phone screen. Can you please help?
The controllers work, and they’re included. That’s important. This made a great Christmas gift for our family. Imagine it did not come with any controllers at all! Sad faces all around, right? That’s why “dey bodder”. Now I that have it set up, I can buy better controllers.
Wow a less boring little device , I can play until it broke , worth it for small money ! I wonder if you can change to use other better controllers because I got a few laying around ? Wicked give me a sign yes or no ?
got this an having trouble exiting a game back to either game list or console list, have to reboot, there must eb a way, mag says hotkey and Y but that doesn't work (have set hotkey)
@@WickedGamerCollector maybe expecting too much for it to kill a game and go to main console list without effectively resetting. Have reset hotkey but it's no really a kick to main menu its kick to as sub menu then back back and select..you get the idea lol
This is basically just a super console x box and yes do agree that for the price and size of the item, it is pretty impressive to be able to play all them games. however, here is the catch... there are a limited number of games on each console and not the full library and do believe that not all the games or consoles/buttons are configured properly... that is the downside. it reminds me the of super console x 50k game box and they had the same issues.
