    I bought a cheaper KinHank console with similar issues.
    They didn’t bother me.
    I put the games I want in the Favorites folder and stick to that - with 550+ games I love and am thrilled to play and will be occupied by for a long time.
    I replaced the PSone roms I want to play with music.
    I liked having Japanese and American and even some fan-patched versions (my wife is Japanese and I speak it).
    I primarily use my USB Switch controller instead of the battery-powered Dual Shock-offs - which are okay.
    Super Console X2 Pro was well worth $30 for me. Heck, if all it did was play Snatcher, Blazing Lazers, Perfect Dark and Astro Boy GBA, I’d be happy.
    That doesn’t discount your criticism. I just am thrilled with my purchase for what it does right: play a ton of great games from a ton of systems in one little device on my TV with emulator QOL updates.

    I have one of these (found for $80 usd) and all the problems you stated are true. Lucky, I could fix a lot of the problems by changing a few config files. It is an inconvenience and shouldn't have to be done on a "plug and play". It plays pretty smooth after the tinkering and worth the $80 spent on it. But if you can find it for cheap ($80 or under) and know how to mess with retro emulation, try it out. If you don't know/care how to tweak it (which you should not have to tweak anything if they did their job) try to find something better. For the $130 they are asking for it you can buy a handheld with HDMI out and get a better experience.

    Great and honest review Restalgia! I had a similar experience with them, they asked me to delete my video after bringing up much the same points (there have been other companies, some even texting me to take them down). Yeah,...no. It's important for consumers to know what they are buying, that's the whole point of creating a review. Much respect for staying firm and doing the right thing.

    All of these consoles are basically the same older hardware and will barely run anything past PS 1 era, my advice is get a Pandora, they tend to only run up to the same era but do it the best. Great video.

      @cryptidproductions3160 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's about price point
      The ones that are like $100+ are way over priced for the hardware you're getting but if you can find good deals they're worth it, I just found a Console X Max for $40 from an Ebay seller and that's perfectly fine for something that can run up to N64 (as long as you install a stand alone N64 emulator on the Android side)

    Go get'em tiger. 😁
    I totally agree with your assessment, just not your tone.
    I do own several products from Kin Hank and other vendors (love my retro games) and found that most everyone does this same type of shenanigans. Games not launching, if only a couple of titles, isn't a big deal. Poor performance is. I understand that these things happen when Emulec/Batocera/name your OS gets updated but at some point extra QA should be performed.
    My biggest gripe is the ROMs without background music. Why in the world would anyone be so anal about copyrights with a product such as this?
    Will I keep buying Kin Hank products, probably but will do so with the expectation that I will need to do a lot of tweaking if I want more than 75% of my games fully working.

    • @Restalgia
      @Restalgia  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      They told me the reason for the audio tracks being removed was due to "performance".
      Copyright would not make any sense considering the whole device screams piracy. The audio tracks would be a wild line to draw.
      I appreciate your feedback 😊

    • @jskjellman
      @jskjellman 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I've had one version or another of this system for 3years. I agree with your assessment completely. That being said i do really enjoy what does work properly on the console very much and 90% works just fine. I paid $80 for mine and I'm very happy with it. Thanks for the video

    I have an older $80 one and I definitely had the exact same problems. I was especially disappointed with the PS1 games missing background music, which I'm glad you mentioned. I brought it up on one of their videos and they responded but apparently haven't done anything about it, which tells me they probably don't care. I even loaded up Silent Hill and it wasn't even the full game, just some Brazil demo. I can also confirm that a lot of the arcade games crash and reset the system.
    Crazy that they have released more expensive "updated" devices since then that still have the same problems. It's like they aren't even trying.

    I think it is correct to mention that the device has certain limits due to the price, as it is very cheap from Ali Express, and not to focus on high-performance games only. The pros and cons must be mentioned alike. But their changing the sounds of the games is very bad. They must play the games in the original versions

    They've just grabbed a complete ROMset off some torrent site and dumped the whole lot on the device.
    There are sometimes very slight differences in revisions Etc. but it's such a miniscule different 99% of the people wouldn't even notice, let alone care. But it is a waste of space, could have been used to put a few more PS1 games on there.
    But I've seen worse, I've had Famiclones where they've paid lo little notice to the games, a lot of them are super offensice ROM hacks, like the main character is naked or all the enemies have been turned into racial stereotypes.

    I do understand how you feel Ive played with two of those and most copy of the emuelec or the firmware breaks random things. The sound issue is just some things that are broken in the .cfg or the .bin . If your lucky enough and use come propper gameboost app that do optimize for real your configurations files (to the risk of f*cking everythings up) well it do plays all those games very well. But as said, it shouldnt be part of the consumer experience. And Yes obviously to much doubles!

    Some questions about this device: Can you connect it to a PC and tinker with the roms? I have modded my PS Classic for example, so could I just delete everything they have in this and load up my own roms? Also, is there any way to play the device with a USB controller, such as the ones that come with the PS Classic?
    Odd questions for somebody that owns a PS Classic I suppose, but I'm always keeping an eye out for another device that can do this kind of thing in the event that my PS Classic dies someday. Thanks!

    • @Restalgia
      @Restalgia  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      So in short, yes you can connect to pc over wifi, and yes you can use other USB controllers. While I was testing I ended up switching to an Xbox controller because the ones that came with it were so bad.
      If you end up fussing around with the roms and customizing it, you may end up being better just getting a pi 4, with a cool case of amazon instead.
      The value this device has is as a simple plug and play device but since they did a bad job on software, it kinda fails at that.

    Hi Dude, I agree with most of what your saying my friend, But It's not just these Guys there are many
    Companies that are doing the same thing, Games that don't work, Or Run like a pile of dung, I have 6
    of these Boxes and all though they are really good at what they do, you always find games that don't
    work, Or they are super Laggy, And It's usually Nintendo 64 Stuff that don't run right. Even the Arcade
    Boxes With the sticks on, And some of theses are really Expensive. And they still have the same Issue.
    And they all Duplicate the same game over and over. But on that note i Don' mind that If it was done
    Properly, And it was all layed out neatly, What i don't like is when It's the same game 50 times, And
    there Isn't any Difference In the versions, Cause it's the same version, Just Copied And pasted, That's
    the thing that's the con. you wouldn't mind so much if it the game was Actually a different version.
    I don't have this X4 Box, And i don't think I'll Bother, All the one i have the controllers work really well.
    The Super Console X-PRO, And the X2-PRO, Witch i have are very good, But even they have Roms that
    Don't work mate. And again have a stack of Duplicate Games. But they are a good little box. But
    Somethings Still need to change though pall, Like what you said, Games that Jerk, and don't Even Run.
    And The games that don't work always seem to be a game you like to. Anyway Im'e with you all the
    way pall, HELL YEH!. Great Video Restalgia. I have thought this for years mate, And It's very Annoying
    When your Spending £140, The X3 is £150, on Amazon Witch i don't get, That's an older Model is it not.
    But it does Only have 70000 games on, So Mabey they have sorted the Problems out with that Model.
    It has Android 9.0. And emu ELEC 4.6. And Its 8K UHD Display. 4 gig Ram+32G Rom. And so on. Have
    you Reviewed This Model, If Not, Could you Please, Cause i was thinking of getting it, But i won't get the
    X4 though, To many People are saying Bad things about it, The controllers For one man. Thanx for the
    Video mate. you Stopped me from Wasting My Money, Cheers pall.

      @Restalgia  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I'm not upset that the device doesn't run everything perfectly. My points were simple...
      1. Don't include duplicates of games. No way you can defend including 55 versions of the same game, and half don't launch.
      2. If it doesn't run well, don't include it. I am not complaining that games I wanted to add myself didn't run well, I'm saying the performance of their habd selected games was terrible.
      3. You can't also tell me you think it's appropriate to modify games and remove key features like background music.
      These are all common sense things. I can name dozens of consoles and handhelds in the same price point or cheaper that don't do any of this stuff. Anbernic rg353v, rg35xx, rg35xx plus, rg351v, 351p, 351m, trimui smart pro, powkiddy rgb35, even all the JM plug and play hard drives don't do any of this stuff.
