Fantastic review John 👍👍 😀😀 I like how you've explained how, if a game doesn't work, you then need to change the core emulator & you then show how to do it. Brilliant Stuff 😀😀😀👍👍👍🕹🕹🎮
Thanks Steve! Very deliberate as I've noticed a lot of people posting on groups that many games don't work. Most of the times it just needs the correct emulator to work.
What was free? I didn't get this unit for free! I've had no free devices sent to me at any point. I'm sure I did cover it but if not apologies. The arcade roms are all lumped into 1 folder whereas they should be separated to fbneo arcade mame etc. Therefore some need a different emulator to work.
@@stewsretroreviews awesome mate. A lot of folks are complaining that games don't work. But they do with the correct core. Think the worst for games that don't work are spectrum games on here. But majority of games I've tried work fine with the correct core/emulator.
I just ordered one of Ali express, needed that nostalgic hit! Thanks for posting this and explaining how to fix problems! Now to wait for my package and educate my boys on retro gaming! 👍🏻👍🏻😅
I had looked up many reviews before buying this for my own channel and you had one of the best reviews I've seen thus far! It has actually inspired me to do one when it finally arrives so thank you!
@@CrazyBurger I completely agree! I have only seen one that did, however it kind of just silently sped through all the games and I couldn't really keep up Haha
This looks great! I've been looking for something like this that I can plug in to the TV and just play without fiddling with settings, especially with Amiga games. Thanks for the great video :)
Superb, Amazon UK does have this.. 125 quid for 50k game version. Just be careful not to pick one that has long delivery. Most likely coming from China!
I've got the Super Console X Cube, which has the same game list, I've noticed a lot of the computer games need a keyboard, and some of the N64 games won't run, it's a great system otherwise.
Yeah Spectrum heavily relies on keyboard for example, use the virtual keyboard by pressing select on the controller..for N64 try changing the emulator.
@@leonarddurecki5988 Man,I tried everything. Yes,with the ones that came with the console. Won't connect. I started the system with and without the wireless USB nubs and it doesn't work either way
@@leonarddurecki5988 If I start the console without the wireless USB receivers,it boots and says "No game pad detected" and then I insert the receivers,it says "Hold A to configure" I do that and.....nothing. I did notice that there are controller Icons that show on the upper left corner of the screen when I plug in the receivers. Both LEDs flash on the controller and then shut off after 10 seconds (the poorly-translated manual says the controller goes to sleep in 10 seconds if the connection isn't established) If I boot the console with the receivers plugged in,it boots normally to the IU as if it recognized a controller,ready to select console. I think they're defective. Sending them back for a replacement.
@Xero it still works fine, I don't really have any issues with it. Zelda is OK.. but glitchy graphics wise. Not many systems run that well with n64 games. It's playable at least. It differs depending on with emulator you use. A few tweaks and I'm sure it would improve things.
@Xero Most of the games work great as far as I could tell. Need to remember some use the different emulators. So if it doesn't work 1st time it's usually cause you need to choose a different emulator.. such as mame 2003, fbneo etc
@@CrazyBurger how reliable are these things? Would a wired ps4 controller work on one? If it is essentially my childhood in one box under the tv and it runs OK, I'm all in.....
@@rylojr1977 I've not had any issues with them. Not sure about a PS4 controller. I've generally stuck with the ones supplied. They work fine. Alternatively I've used an 8bitdo controller. I'm sure many others will work.
Wow Thank you. I took my time and tried to cover as much as possible to help those decide if its right for them. 10 minute videos don't cut it for this type of thing.
very good intro i like the disneyland ride clip :) Crazy burger i got one too but i made a couple of errors like three or four times. with the sd card, but i love the device. I ordered a upgraded one the pc mini..... i subscribed and liked your video :)
Yeah it is very cool, not perfect but can't argue with 50k games included. Thanks about our intro.. this was what our channel was pre covid.. going back to Disney World next month.. exciting times..
@@CrazyBurger I just ordered my Super console X Pro, looking forward to checking out all the games from my past. Your review and casual walk thru was fantastic. Have you do any work with Batocera or Retro gaming on PC?
@@mrnobodyinvr9762 Thanks very much! Enjoy your super console xpro when it comes! I've done a few Raspberry Pi videos on Batocera recently. Not a lot on PC though. Did use Redream for dreamcast recently for a video. It's brilliant for Dreamcast on PC. Used Antstream and Piepacker on PC also fairly recent. Both are excellent.
@@CrazyBurger I will! I'm looking forward to getting into the Retro gaming a bit more again, I snagged the MiniNES and SNES that were store bought a few years ago, but they lacked so much, and then once seeing your clip and looking into the new era of mini Retro consoles, I decided to jump back it! Thanks for the advice, I got interested in the MiniPCs for strictly Retro games on my Arcade1ups, so thats the next mission, figure out how USB encoders work, and how I get something like Batocera or COINOPs or something to run, and then I will flip the MiniPC into a cab and hook it up, and be a Very happy man!
I have a quick question I wind up messing up my button configuration and now I can’t send it back to default how do I fix this so I can play the game because I can’t play anything because the buttons are all messed up how do I bring it back to factory reset so I can play the games again I just got this this is horrible
One of the many cool features is that you can save ANY game at ANY time! MIddle of a jump in Super Mario? Save it! Halfway through the 2nd period in NHL94? Save it!
Ah good point, we sometimes forget that. The Amstrad always looked really cool though. I always like the idea of the computer coming with the actual monitor.. very unlike the other competitors like C64 and Spectrum.
I just got one. For reasons I don't understand it seems stuck on custom aspect. As a result every game I load I have to go in and change the aspect before I can play a game. Does anyone have a better fix for this problem?
I dont have the configuration file option within retroarch either in the settings or main menu so I cant save my changes. Would anyone know why that would be the case and how to resolve this problem?
Honestly I'm not entirely sure, might be worth digging through reddit.. such as www.reddit.com/r/RetroArch/comments/e6yzvz/help_settings_tab_is_missing/?
I need help I just got My consoled X pro and I messed up the button figuration and now buttons are where they should be and I can’t even push start what do I do how do I fix this without a computer because I don’t have one how can I Bring it to default and play my game again I just got this this is horrible please help me
Just having a go and seems OK.. I've got the emulator set to auto so not sure which emulator it picks as default. There are 6 to choose from, try picking a different emulator and experiment.
I've acquired the older console x version ( not pro ) and was hoping to use a ps4 controller with it, but it doesn't recognise it when I plug it in. I'm sure I read somewhere that it was compatible? Is that not the case??
Mmm I thought so too but apparently no. Not with the stock emuelec. Though non official wired ps4 controller should work. Wireless but connected with a cable does not.
Can you tell me how you got the Super Nintendo to work on that system? I bought the wireless Super Nintendo controllers off amazon and it still doesn't let me play the game.
I have 2 questions : 1) I it possible (and if yes how?) to remove the right and left borders that show at every game? 2) has anyone managed to have correct Naomi controls?
You can change the bezels or borders definitely. If you want to actually remove the borders you would need to change the ratio of the screen. Both can be done in the options. You might need to also access the Retroarch menus to change ratios to your desires. Here you can also change the default controls per emulator.
I plugged a cheap keyboard and optical mouse into the 4gang USB cable that came with the system then turned it on. Little system recognised it and then I got to play lemmings on the Amiga using the mouse 👍
@@CrazyBurger I some how managed to turn off the system bevels on either side of the screen that showed the system (Amiga/spectrum/master system etc) I can't get them to come back on...
I’m new to this kind of emulation box. What controller do you recommend as I was most familiar with the round cherry on a stick ands a couple of buttons?. Such as used on Pac-Man arcade in the 90s.
Mmm not sure.. I have a similar set up but bought a device from amazon that connects to speakers to enable sound. I guess you could use the AV with headphones too.
I am trying to get star wars rogue squadron to work on N64, I believe I have tried all different emulators and it still doesn't work. That being said, I tried it when I first got it and it worked fine (by of course messing with the emulator a bit) just unsure what I am doing wrong now that it doesn't work... can you help and let me know if it works for you?
Recommend 55:54 in the video. N64 is very hit and miss on here but seemed to work best on glupen. This games actually plays well on Raspberry pi 400 on the mupen64plus next emulator.
Thanks to you. Great review. Been watching all kinds of reviews. But I landed on the 114 000 games ( not really) X King. I just wanted the extra power for running N64 and PSP and DC. I am an idiot though, cause I see myself getting caught up in the SNES, NES and those platforms.
@@CrazyBurger Aye thanks. Yeah it feels like a good decision. I wanted a plug and play device. Otherwise I would have bought a mini PC or something. I noticed the earlier boxes have a bit less PlayStation games, etc. So I went for the King. I'm also really curious about the old Amiga 500 and also the odd consoles I never heard of. It's gonna be a blast just testing through some lists and having a laugh at how terrible some games are, and hopefully find some real gems along the way 🙂👍
@@CrazyBurger Can you make a video about the super console x pro tv box system? I'm curious to know about it... The Powkiddy B-01 have a Android TV system, just like the new Chromecast...
LOVED your reviews on this! I'm trying to work out a) if a usb keyboard and mouse is easy to set-up and b) have you or anyone had any luck playing Spectrum 48k games as I understand from another TH-camr external keyboard didn't work on Speccy
Cheers! Yes Spectrum is a bit of a pain. I've not actually tried using a keyboard but you should be able to add a USB keyboard. Might need a bit of work in Retroarch though. I did make a video recently on remapping the buttons for Spectrum games. Might be worth a look. th-cam.com/video/a_s4KLqnfUo/w-d-xo.html
@@CrazyBurger nice one! I loved your video as a couple of others were very sniffy about certain things about the X, whereas any normal person from the 80s/90s surely must see this box as an absolute miracle! A million pounds worth of games!! That said, mine hasn't arrived yet, so hope it works 😬
@@wordsmusic6091 lol exactly how I see it.. thousands of games.. relive your youth or play games you always wanted to but couldn't afford the console or computer it was on.
Just watched the video and thanks for the tips on improving some of the issues you found. I see that you were interested in the Amiga games (like I am) but on Superfrog I see the intro animation but it then goes to a developer/test screen and I cannot get any further. Have you found this? Also on Trolls to remap the buttons (I cannot open doors) do I press L3 R3 together for Retro Arch? Thanks and look forward to your other guides!
Yes I'm definitely an Amiga fan.. correct for Retroarch if I recall.. where you can remap buttons.. so occasionally when games are loading.. the developer test screen may require keyboard input to nudge past it.. sometimes other buttons might help, like pressing one of the shoulder buttons.. to access the onscreen keyboard press select.. them try pressing the space bar. Failing that it could be a bad rom. Or try one of the other Emulator options.
Hi mister! Can i just copy all the files from the sd card using card reader and put it in a folder incase the sd card got corrupted or broken sometin like that can i just buy a new sd card and paste the file that i put it in a folder from my pc?
Yeah course you can. It may take a while to copy over the files but it is recommended to do this. The memory cards supplied are not top of the range. With 50k games on them though it will take forever to copy.
Both the controllers aren't working. There are icons on the upper left corner of the screen showing it detects the wireless usb device but the controllers won't work!! Help!!
@@CrazyBurger Yes. LEDs on the controllers flash when you press the Home buttons for 10 seconds but won't do anything. Even the TV controller that came with it won't do anything.
Is it feasible to take out the micro SD card and copy the files to a PC and run everything from a far more powerful desktop PC to improve performance? I know there is a windows version of RetroArch that can be used as a frontend, and almost all emulators have a Windows version, although I guess that would require a lot of manual work to get that working properly.
I found this machine runs things much better than a PC. The games all run faster and smoother despite the much lower specs. You might have more power on a PC but you also have Windows and many other things to get in the way.
I find using the non default controller results in some crazy glitches n64 is unplayable with anything other than the one bundled just a heads up best to just plug and play as it was intended to do uf you want the best custom emulation use a pc and your desired settings
Couldn't agree more. I totally screwed up my first super x console by messing around with the options to the point it wouldn't load. Sent it back got a refund, got another one now. And apart from changing emulation For mame I don't touch any options. Plug in and simply play !!!
I did my own machine like that 3 years ago. Raspberry pi 3b+, SuperPi case from retroflag, 256gb memory card and 10k games on it. PSP, N64 and Dreamcast is to much for PI 3b+ but even with new PI4 it is not recommended to emulate those consoles because of glitches and overall stability. Back then i spend for it something about 125$ with far better controlers and casing quality. I bet that probably 1/3 of those game do not work at all or at least properly, because checking such huge list of titles take too much time.
No most of them do work, I've not tried every one. There are a few that don't.. but yeah nobody will test 55k games. I agree though.. the Raspberry pi emulation is better!
@@CrazyBurger Thx for reply. Basically i'm testing my michine for 3 years already from time to time ofc. And i think tested was something between 3~4,5 k games on 31 emulators. 300 or more was deleted because roms was faulty. From my experience each game should be tested for 5 min or at least 1lv. because a lot of roms suffers from in game crashes or glitches that makes them unplayable. So i think this Super console should be bought only by people with some knowledge to operat and edit Emulationstation system, or they can be stuck with unplayable versions of their favorite games. Strict "Plug and play" folks should leave it be.
@@RetroMatter lol strangely though it's probably attracting a lot of plug and play folks.. but ideally you need to know retroarch or how to adjust emulators. The arcade roms are an example.. need to use one of 4 or more emulators. Some games won't work on original mame but will working on older version. It can be a pain.
Hi great review, I'm getting one of these systems soon. Can i ask that when your in a list of games say Arcade how do you get back to the Main Menu where all the Consoles and systems are. Would appreciate some advice. Regards Darren
@@CrazyBurger Hi thanks for the reply and info, Ok that sounds really simple. The reason i ask is that ive seen many reviews of these systems and moving around these systems can seem quite difficult and complicated, But if that's as simple as you say that will suit me fine as i'm not really tech savvy, Thanks. Regards Darren
@You Tube1 The super console x pro is probably closer to the pi4 in terms of emulation. PS2 won't run on this. Though you can play the PSP version of Outrun coast 2 coast. It plays fine, may need to tweak the frameskip to 1.
Very nice review. I purchased the unit and received it yesterday I'm a little disappointed it's all your one big machine but I guess I can work around that. I have a question for you when I hope you can help me. Everything worked well I'm just having a problem getting out of a game and getting it to a different gaming system. Can't figure out which buttons to use to get out of the game smoothly. Any info would be really appreciated thank you very much and great job
Some roms you need to choose the correct emulator in the settings. It depends how old the game is. Older arcade games need the mame emulator whereas more modern arcade roms need the fb neo emulator. There's at least 4 or 5 emulators to choose from and every game I've tried uses 1 of them. It's a bit annoying but they definitely do work.
Appreciated! I might have to do another vid just concentrating on arcade and the correct emulator to use. Check out this video at 22.50 for emulator tips.
I run a 3.0 gigahertz doual core and it runs every single arcade game 100% smooth speed and I wonder why all these new ones has trouble running them like Capcom vs.I wonder in core settings that you can over clock each game cpus?My mame can.I do over clock some games like double dragon with no screen lag.
is there a menu for cheat codes? How do you access it if there is can you explain for me please thanks so much! thats a deciding factor for me in buying this so any info helps! :)
Does this system come with cheat codes ? I looked and clicked on the cheat option. There was no cheat codes for any of the systems. What am I doing wrong ? I'm very angry about this
Hi there i recently brought a Super Console X Cube system which is very similar to the X Pro. I absolutely love it and it seems to be mostly working just fine, But i used to own an Intellivision system back in the day and was looking forward to playing those games but i'm having trouble playing them. Now i press the L2 button to get up the controller pad but i cant seem to get the games to play, So am i doing something wrong? Or is there a certain knack of playing the Intellivision games. Any advice on what buttons to press would be much appreciated, Thanks. Regards Darren
@@CrazyBurger I tried to play Atlantis which i used to own but couldn't get it to play, I will try what you suggested thanks for the info. Regards Darren
I had an older similar version to this with fewer consoles. However some games the only way you could come out of the game was to disconnect the power cable. Is it the same here?
I've just got one of these, and 'Tapdra' - whoever - seems to have done a little fettling with the system: My Gameboy/ Gameboy Color/ Gameboy Advance all started with the correct screen resolutions - which was nice! 👍🏻 I'm going to have to work on the 'Glupen64' settings I guess as the controls in 'Goldeneye' are all messed up!! 'Killer Instinct' locks-up after a few minutes of the demo running (which is annoying!), but it runs great on SO many of the other systems... Some of the old home computer systems are going to need some extra work, as the 'select' button' keyboard doesn't always work (no buttons seem to...) - I wonder if a USB keyboard will work? I really want to play Atari 800 'Star Raiders', but it won't start just using the supplied controller... 😔 Nice review anyway, and thanks for the tips on emulators/RetroArch... 😃👍🏻
Cheers mate, yeah it can be a pain to set up sometimes. Try one of the shoulder buttons for the keyboard. I found with Atari 800 and ST that it was mapped to them rather than select.
No but I did get a Retropie p400.. and put some of the games on this. Retropie runs very well but didn't find it user friendly.. I preferred Batocera, though it didn't really play N64 very well. Overall though the Raspberry pi is a very good alternative to this.. if not better.
I think so, there are tons of marvel vs capcom, capcom vs games on here. There are lists of all the games. Search on Google super console x pro games list
Hi, really enjoyed your video. I've just picked up one of these consoles and am just getting to grips with it. One question though - I've noticed on the bottom of the main screen (where it says Options, Menu, Favourites etc) that on mine these words are too zoomed in and part of the clock is missing. I have been trying to change settings to get this sorted but nothing I'm doing seems to work. I've been looking at scaling and video settings etc. I just need these menu options to be zoomed out a touch. I'm not even sure if you can change this setting. I'd be so grateful if you could help. Thanks.
@@CrazyBurger I'm thinking for when playing flight simulations etc. I've purchased a cheap keyboard & mouse package from ebay, all of £7. Yet that has arrived before the console (typical) I'm looking forward this little box that can sit behind my TV and let me play so many games from my childhood. (I've still got a full size amiga & a spectrum, this will stop me from having to set them up) It seams to be ease of use in a single box.

I have one of these. I love it. To play arcade, Amiga and Spectrum games I played as a kid is absolutely awesome. My only problem with it is the Speccy games only seem to be 48k, thus no music. Any idea if you can make them 128k??
@@CrazyBurger I've tried Renegade, Target Renegade (which crashes after level 1 btw 😫😁) and Robocop. Plus, Chase HQ doesn't work at all. Gutted really. Hehe. Thanks for the reply. 😁
@@glenaitken9403 no worries ill have a look. There's a few dodgy roms on there that's for sure. You can always add your own roms. It's really easy to do.
I'm just looking on the newer model, it has tons of Renegade files. Some don't work. A couple are the 48k versions and a few are the 128k versions. With music. How many files does the super console x pro have for Renegade?
Thank you! If you are using the supplied controllers... you'll need to put the Bluetooth dongle in the xpro.. put batteries in the controller and it should automatically connect. Generally the button mapping should be fine for most games without any intervention. N64 being the only one I recall being a pain. You can remap buttons in the retroarch back end in games. I'd highly recommend an 8bitdo controller rather than the supplied ones.
I've got this same model but kind of regret it since I've learnt how to make my own from scratch with the later version of the software and it's easier to add your own games. I got it mainly for the arcade games but was curious to see what else it could do. I still have it for the C64 and amiga type systems.
Don't regret it, it was a step that put you on the path to learning how to create your own emuelec android boxes. And overall, it's really not a bad purchase if you just want something premade.
Hello, (in response to Antonio). I'm not sure about the voltage you mentioned since I only use the power supply that came with the box which is quoted 240v which seems more than enough for a tiny machine.
@@CrazyBurger Ok great! Thanks for the response. I don't have the console yet but I recently ordered it. Don't know much about it yet. How do you get in to the retroarch menu to do that?? Some of those snes games are brutally difficult to beat without cheat codes. LOL. Plus I will mostly be playing this with my 7 year old so would like for it to be somewhat easier.
I think you mean access to dip switches.. if I recall you can access these if you use the MAME emulator. During gsmes you should be able to access the menu by possibly clicking in both R3 and L3 buttons on the thumbsticks. Or by using the mode button on the controller. Apologies I can't remember which one it was.
@@jeffzazueta on AdvanceMAME you can access the options by right clicking on the right thumbstick. Click down on it. Opens up a new menu. Choose dip switches. Here you can adjust life's, difficulty etc. This will vary from game to game. Also might vary how to access this depending on which emulator is running.
@@dagamer4ever yeah there's definitely better versions now. The super console king or maxi for example. Amazon usually have some listings for all of these somewhere.
John, presentation spot on, great stuff, but please could you explain how to stream/capture screen from this console on TH-cam. Is it possible to do it without pc? Regards 🙂👍🏻
Thanks very much! So I use this device that I showcased here..th-cam.com/video/GbCzc5OmHCQ/w-d-xo.html Very cheap and easy but of course you need a PC. You could still stream or record footage by using your phone recording the TV or monitor used. Not the best but still functional.
Mmm I'm not sure its worth the additional money. If you can get a good deal then get the King. But you'll only notice a difference in the tougher to emulate stuff such as N64, Dreamcast, PsP etc.. even then it's still not perfect.
Fantastic review John 👍👍 😀😀
I like how you've explained how, if a game doesn't work, you then need to change the core emulator & you then show how to do it. Brilliant Stuff 😀😀😀👍👍👍🕹🕹🎮

Such a fun console!
It's got so many games to play and discover. 50k games.. unbelievable.
Great review, thanks!
Good Review thank you, for the price its still a good machine for all the games it can play.
Thanks Ben Jr.. it is pretty decent value.. if you tried to do this yourself it would take weeks!
very good intro i like the disneyland ride clip :) Crazy burger i got one too but i made a couple of errors like three or four times. with the sd card, but i love the device. I ordered a upgraded one the pc mini..... i subscribed and liked your video :)
Yeah it is very cool, not perfect but can't argue with 50k games included. Thanks about our intro.. this was what our channel was pre covid.. going back to Disney World next month.. exciting times..
Thank you so much for just taking your time and going thru the systems and games, thanks!
My pleasure I enjoyed it !
@@CrazyBurger I just ordered my Super console X Pro, looking forward to checking out all the games from my past. Your review and casual walk thru was fantastic. Have you do any work with Batocera or Retro gaming on PC?
@@mrnobodyinvr9762 Thanks very much! Enjoy your super console xpro when it comes! I've done a few Raspberry Pi videos on Batocera recently. Not a lot on PC though. Did use Redream for dreamcast recently for a video. It's brilliant for Dreamcast on PC. Used Antstream and Piepacker on PC also fairly recent. Both are excellent.
@@CrazyBurger I will! I'm looking forward to getting into the Retro gaming a bit more again, I snagged the MiniNES and SNES that were store bought a few years ago, but they lacked so much, and then once seeing your clip and looking into the new era of mini Retro consoles, I decided to jump back it! Thanks for the advice, I got interested in the MiniPCs for strictly Retro games on my Arcade1ups, so thats the next mission, figure out how USB encoders work, and how I get something like Batocera or COINOPs or something to run, and then I will flip the MiniPC into a cab and hook it up, and be a Very happy man!
@@mrnobodyinvr9762 Sounds fantastic, hope you document it! I'm hopefully getting an Arcade 1up machine soon. No idea where I'm putting it though!
I have a quick question I wind up messing up my button configuration and now I can’t send it back to default how do I fix this so I can play the game because I can’t play anything because the buttons are all messed up how do I bring it back to factory reset so I can play the games again I just got this this is horrible
One of the many cool features is that you can save ANY game at ANY time! MIddle of a jump in Super Mario? Save it! Halfway through the 2nd period in NHL94? Save it!
Lol yeah the joys.. I would've loved this feature back in the day.. would've saved a lot of frustration lol

the AmstradCPC was a green screen monitor hence the matrix hues :)
Ah good point, we sometimes forget that. The Amstrad always looked really cool though. I always like the idea of the computer coming with the actual monitor.. very unlike the other competitors like C64 and Spectrum.
Do you feel the shaders settings improves the game image for the N64 emulator?
Sure, it's all a personal taste though.
I just got one. For reasons I don't understand it seems stuck on custom aspect. As a result every game I load I have to go in and change the aspect before I can play a game. Does anyone have a better fix for this problem?
I dont have the configuration file option within retroarch either in the settings or main menu so I cant save my changes. Would anyone know why that would be the case and how to resolve this problem?
Honestly I'm not entirely sure, might be worth digging through reddit.. such as www.reddit.com/r/RetroArch/comments/e6yzvz/help_settings_tab_is_missing/?
I need help I just got My consoled X pro and I messed up the button figuration and now buttons are where they should be and I can’t even push start what do I do how do I fix this without a computer because I don’t have one how can I Bring it to default and play my game again I just got this this is horrible please help me
Where did you change the settings? In Retroarch or emulation Station?
Great review
Thanks Bret!
I recently discovered you can now run Batocera with this old chipset, I think I'll give it a go.
Cool, Good luck!
Whats' the best emulator for ps1 games?
I was getting some slow down for CTR today and noticed some audio cut out.
Just having a go and seems OK.. I've got the emulator set to auto so not sure which emulator it picks as default. There are 6 to choose from, try picking a different emulator and experiment.
My super console x cube is not showing the game preview in The Game List
Somebody help me please
Probably need to change the view in settings
I've acquired the older console x version ( not pro ) and was hoping to use a ps4 controller with it, but it doesn't recognise it when I plug it in. I'm sure I read somewhere that it was compatible? Is that not the case??
Mmm I thought so too but apparently no. Not with the stock emuelec. Though non official wired ps4 controller should work. Wireless but connected with a cable does not.
Nice review. Best one on TH-cam. Does it have any gameboy colour games fancied playing pokemon trading card game again.
Cheers mate.. yeah plus you can add your own games too.

Can you tell me how you got the Super Nintendo to work on that system? I bought the wireless Super Nintendo controllers off amazon and it still doesn't let me play the game.
Did you get this to work? Are those 8bitdo controllers or the ones for the switch?
I have 2 questions : 1) I it possible (and if yes how?) to remove the right and left borders that show at every game? 2) has anyone managed to have correct Naomi controls?
You can change the bezels or borders definitely. If you want to actually remove the borders you would need to change the ratio of the screen. Both can be done in the options. You might need to also access the Retroarch menus to change ratios to your desires. Here you can also change the default controls per emulator.
I plugged a cheap keyboard and optical mouse into the 4gang USB cable that came with the system then turned it on.
Little system recognised it and then I got to play lemmings on the Amiga using the mouse 👍

I’m new to this kind of emulation box. What controller do you recommend as I was most familiar with the round cherry on a stick ands a couple of buttons?. Such as used on Pac-Man arcade in the 90s.
I'd recommend anything 8bit do. Really excellent products.
I just ordered this emulator. I get it next week
can you plug in an earphone to the AV? I would like to try it in my pc monitor but it doesn’t have a speaker
Mmm not sure.. I have a similar set up but bought a device from amazon that connects to speakers to enable sound. I guess you could use the AV with headphones too.
Just brought when playing a game can’t seem to get out of it, or back to main menu help please 🙏
Start and select usually takes you back. Otherwise pull the plug and reset.

Yeah there's an AV output you can use for that purpose!
@@CrazyBurger thanks is this best game box to buy all diffefent ones on market
@Rob Rob there are probably slightly better ones, like the max Pro.. but honestly depends what games you are going to play most.
@@CrazyBurger just got in to gaming .want a multi console that play everything my multi retro has died will buy off amazon have 50 quid voucher
I am trying to get star wars rogue squadron to work on N64, I believe I have tried all different emulators and it still doesn't work. That being said, I tried it when I first got it and it worked fine (by of course messing with the emulator a bit) just unsure what I am doing wrong now that it doesn't work... can you help and let me know if it works for you?
Recommend 55:54 in the video. N64 is very hit and miss on here but seemed to work best on glupen. This games actually plays well on Raspberry pi 400 on the mupen64plus next emulator.
Can you plug in a keyboard for spectrum games?
Yes you should be able to, I've not tried it but it should work.
Thanks to you. Great review. Been watching all kinds of reviews. But I landed on the 114 000 games ( not really) X King.
I just wanted the extra power for running N64 and PSP and DC.
I am an idiot though, cause I see myself getting caught up in the SNES, NES and those platforms.
Think the xking is definitely an improvement over this one. Most of the boxes are pretty much similar really.
@@CrazyBurger Aye thanks. Yeah it feels like a good decision. I wanted a plug and play device. Otherwise I would have bought a mini PC or something.
I noticed the earlier boxes have a bit less PlayStation games, etc. So I went for the King. I'm also really curious about the old Amiga 500 and also the odd consoles I never heard of. It's gonna be a blast just testing through some lists and having a laugh at how terrible some games are, and hopefully find some real gems along the way 🙂👍
@@Bathtubcrocodile enjoy.. I definitely loved playing through a lot of the Amiga stuff, games I wished I couldve owned or played back in the day.
I got one 👌
What is the best? Super console X Pro or Powkiddy B-01?
Dunno.. never heard of the Powkiddy B-01.. I'll have a look
Thanks bro! I'll be waiting for your feedback.
@Jonatas Ramada they both seem similar actually. I suspect the B-01 is slightly less powerful though
@@CrazyBurger Can you make a video about the super console x pro tv box system? I'm curious to know about it... The Powkiddy B-01 have a Android TV system, just like the new Chromecast...
@Jonatas Ramada I might, it's really just a load of Android apps that play pretty well.
Can the Amiga and commodore controls be remapped so the controller can be used. ? Instead of a keyboard ?
Most definitely yes
LOVED your reviews on this! I'm trying to work out a) if a usb keyboard and mouse is easy to set-up and b) have you or anyone had any luck playing Spectrum 48k games as I understand from another TH-camr external keyboard didn't work on Speccy
Cheers! Yes Spectrum is a bit of a pain. I've not actually tried using a keyboard but you should be able to add a USB keyboard. Might need a bit of work in Retroarch though. I did make a video recently on remapping the buttons for Spectrum games. Might be worth a look.
th-cam.com/video/a_s4KLqnfUo/w-d-xo.html
@@CrazyBurger nice one! I loved your video as a couple of others were very sniffy about certain things about the X, whereas any normal person from the 80s/90s surely must see this box as an absolute miracle! A million pounds worth of games!! That said, mine hasn't arrived yet, so hope it works 😬
@@wordsmusic6091 lol exactly how I see it.. thousands of games.. relive your youth or play games you always wanted to but couldn't afford the console or computer it was on.
thanks im going to get one
Just watched the video and thanks for the tips on improving some of the issues you found. I see that you were interested in the Amiga games (like I am) but on Superfrog I see the intro animation but it then goes to a developer/test screen and I cannot get any further. Have you found this? Also on Trolls to remap the buttons (I cannot open doors) do I press L3 R3 together for Retro Arch?
Thanks and look forward to your other guides!
Yes I'm definitely an Amiga fan.. correct for Retroarch if I recall.. where you can remap buttons.. so occasionally when games are loading.. the developer test screen may require keyboard input to nudge past it.. sometimes other buttons might help, like pressing one of the shoulder buttons.. to access the onscreen keyboard press select.. them try pressing the space bar. Failing that it could be a bad rom. Or try one of the other Emulator options.
How is accuracy of games? Can you for example set to emulate pal or dendy 50hz systems?
Accuracy seems fine to me.. I mean in most cases games can play and look better than they originally did.. bit the higher end games are an exception
How much is the size of the SD card that you used in this video please?
@@deadfish2553 it's in the video near the start.
Hi mister! Can i just copy all the files from the sd card using card reader and put it in a folder incase the sd card got corrupted or broken sometin like that can i just buy a new sd card and paste the file that i put it in a folder from my pc?
Yeah course you can. It may take a while to copy over the files but it is recommended to do this. The memory cards supplied are not top of the range. With 50k games on them though it will take forever to copy.
@@CrazyBurger Thanks. And btw does your super console x pro still working?
@@andreiwasxd4980 yeah, I've not had any issues with it.
Both the controllers aren't working. There are icons on the upper left corner of the screen showing it detects the wireless usb device but the controllers won't work!! Help!!
You put batteries in?
@@CrazyBurger Yes. LEDs on the controllers flash when you press the Home buttons for 10 seconds but won't do anything. Even the TV controller that came with it won't do anything.
@@CrazyBurger I'm sending it back
@@ShinkuGouki Yeah thats probably wise, that seems like an issue with the usb dongle not reacting to the controllers.
Is it feasible to take out the micro SD card and copy the files to a PC and run everything from a far more powerful desktop PC to improve performance? I know there is a windows version of RetroArch that can be used as a frontend, and almost all emulators have a Windows version, although I guess that would require a lot of manual work to get that working properly.
Definitely feasible. All the files you need are on the memory card. Might take a bit of fiddling but if you know what you are doing.. no problem!
I found this machine runs things much better than a PC. The games all run faster and smoother despite the much lower specs. You might have more power on a PC but you also have Windows and many other things to get in the way.
Nice vid, thank you! What about the AV cable tv out? Is easy to use? Or need lots of config?
Ah it's not something I tested apologies
@@CrazyBurger If you've got the chance I'll be happy to know! ;) (and I'll buy it immediately!!!)
I find using the non default controller results in some crazy glitches n64 is unplayable with anything other than the one bundled just a heads up best to just plug and play as it was intended to do uf you want the best custom emulation use a pc and your desired settings
Couldn't agree more. I totally screwed up my first super x console by messing around with the options to the point it wouldn't load. Sent it back got a refund, got another one now. And apart from changing emulation For mame I don't touch any options. Plug in and simply play !!!
I did my own machine like that 3 years ago. Raspberry pi 3b+, SuperPi case from retroflag, 256gb memory card and 10k games on it. PSP, N64 and Dreamcast is to much for PI 3b+ but even with new PI4 it is not recommended to emulate those consoles because of glitches and overall stability. Back then i spend for it something about 125$ with far better controlers and casing quality. I bet that probably 1/3 of those game do not work at all or at least properly, because checking such huge list of titles take too much time.
No most of them do work, I've not tried every one. There are a few that don't.. but yeah nobody will test 55k games. I agree though.. the Raspberry pi emulation is better!
@@CrazyBurger Thx for reply. Basically i'm testing my michine for 3 years already from time to time ofc. And i think tested was something between 3~4,5 k games on 31 emulators. 300 or more was deleted because roms was faulty. From my experience each game should be tested for 5 min or at least 1lv. because a lot of roms suffers from in game crashes or glitches that makes them unplayable. So i think this Super console should be bought only by people with some knowledge to operat and edit Emulationstation system, or they can be stuck with unplayable versions of their favorite games. Strict "Plug and play" folks should leave it be.
@@RetroMatter lol strangely though it's probably attracting a lot of plug and play folks.. but ideally you need to know retroarch or how to adjust emulators. The arcade roms are an example.. need to use one of 4 or more emulators. Some games won't work on original mame but will working on older version. It can be a pain.
Great review just bought 128gb, Banggood £53ish, how to copy card, is it a sd card or micro sd?

Hi great review, I'm getting one of these systems soon. Can i ask that when your in a list of games say Arcade how do you get back to the Main Menu where all the Consoles and systems are. Would appreciate some advice. Regards Darren
Thanks.. its just B to go back. Check the button of the screen. All the button options are detailed.
@@CrazyBurger Hi thanks for the reply and info, Ok that sounds really simple. The reason i ask is that ive seen many reviews of these systems and moving around these systems can seem quite difficult and complicated, But if that's as simple as you say that will suit me fine as i'm not really tech savvy, Thanks. Regards Darren
To get back to the main area with the various game systems, you “select start” twice??
No.. press select and start at the same time..
Are amiga and atari st games plug and play or do they take you via the desktop first?
Majority are plug and play. Some games do require some intervention by button pressing or access to the virtual onscreen keyboard. Atari ST more so.
@You Tube1 The super console x pro is probably closer to the pi4 in terms of emulation. PS2 won't run on this. Though you can play the PSP version of Outrun coast 2 coast. It plays fine, may need to tweak the frameskip to 1.
@@CrazyBurger Thanks for your help
Very nice review. I purchased the unit and received it yesterday I'm a little disappointed it's all your one big machine but I guess I can work around that.

Can't figure out which buttons to use to get out of the game smoothly. Any info would be really appreciated thank you very much and great job
Press start and select at the same time to go back to the main menus! Cheers mate appreciated!
Can you save progress or do you have to complete games in one sitting…. How many favourites can you favourite
You can save at anytime!
I've read somewhere that this unit heats up like crazy? Is this true?
Na seemed OK to me. Some of the later models have vents to help. Like the super console pro x3.
This little box is pretty awesome, but I'm noticing a lot of Mame roms don't work. That's one of the emulators I bought it for!
Some roms you need to choose the correct emulator in the settings. It depends how old the game is. Older arcade games need the mame emulator whereas more modern arcade roms need the fb neo emulator. There's at least 4 or 5 emulators to choose from and every game I've tried uses 1 of them. It's a bit annoying but they definitely do work.
@@CrazyBurger Awesome, I really didn't want to return it as everything else works flawlessly.
Thank you for your help and great videos!
Appreciated! I might have to do another vid just concentrating on arcade and the correct emulator to use. Check out this video at 22.50 for emulator tips.
I run a 3.0 gigahertz doual core and it runs every single arcade game 100% smooth speed and I wonder why all these new ones has trouble running them like Capcom vs.I wonder in core settings that you can over clock each game cpus?My mame can.I do over clock some games like double dragon with no screen lag.
is there a menu for cheat codes? How do you access it if there is can you explain for me please thanks so much! thats a deciding factor for me in buying this so any info helps! :)
You access it through Retroarch. I never use this part (cheats), so not totally sure.
Does this system come with cheat codes ? I looked and clicked on the cheat option. There was no cheat codes for any of the systems. What am I doing wrong ? I'm very angry about this
Not sure as I don't use any of the cheats. Possibly need to download them through retroarch. Check out this docs.libretro.com/guides/cheat-codes/

'Killer Instinct' locks-up after a few minutes of the demo running (which is annoying!), but it runs great on SO many of the other systems...
Some of the old home computer systems are going to need some extra work, as the 'select' button' keyboard doesn't always work (no buttons seem to...) - I wonder if a USB keyboard will work? I really want to play Atari 800 'Star Raiders', but it won't start just using the supplied controller... 😔
Nice review anyway, and thanks for the tips on emulators/RetroArch... 😃👍🏻

No but I did get a Retropie p400.. and put some of the games on this. Retropie runs very well but didn't find it user friendly.. I preferred Batocera, though it didn't really play N64 very well. Overall though the Raspberry pi is a very good alternative to this.. if not better.

Hi, really enjoyed your video. I've just picked up one of these consoles and am just getting to grips with it. One question though - I've noticed on the bottom of the main screen (where it says Options, Menu, Favourites etc) that on mine these words are too zoomed in and part of the clock is missing. I have been trying to change settings to get this sorted but nothing I'm doing seems to work. I've been looking at scaling and video settings etc. I just need these menu options to be zoomed out a touch. I'm not even sure if you can change this setting. I'd be so grateful if you could help. Thanks.
I'm wondering if it's more to do with your TV rather than the console? Might need to check those settings too.

@@CrazyBurger Ok great! Thanks for the response. I don't have the console yet but I recently ordered it. Don't know much about it yet. How do you get in to the retroarch menu to do that??
Some of those snes games are brutally difficult to beat without cheat codes. LOL. Plus I will mostly be playing this with my 7 year old so would like for it to be somewhat easier.
@@hannsolo51 usually select and start or select and X.. I think.
@@CrazyBurger Awesome thanks! Good to know lol
Can you attach your own keyboard rather than use the on screen one?
Potentially you should be able to using a Bluetooth dongle.
Does anyone know how to change difficulty settings in arcade emulation etc.? I know it can be done but there’s no videos anywhere on it
I think you mean access to dip switches.. if I recall you can access these if you use the MAME emulator. During gsmes you should be able to access the menu by possibly clicking in both R3 and L3 buttons on the thumbsticks. Or by using the mode button on the controller. Apologies I can't remember which one it was.
@@CrazyBurger thank you. Yeah you’re right but I’m having difficulty knowing exactly what to do from there
@@jeffzazueta I'll need to have a look at it in the morning. They'll be options in here to adjust the difficulties.
@@CrazyBurger thank you
@@jeffzazueta on AdvanceMAME you can access the options by right clicking on the right thumbstick. Click down on it. Opens up a new menu. Choose dip switches. Here you can adjust life's, difficulty etc. This will vary from game to game. Also might vary how to access this depending on which emulator is running.
I can’t get the ports games to work. No doom etc.
Could be missing .Wad files.
I have the handheld version of this console, well the contents on it anyway.
Cool, what you got?
How do you make game boy advance games and nintendo ds games pictures to fit to screen rather than the classic resolution each console had

@@CrazyBurger thank you I must have missed that I'm thinking of buying it but don't know if there a better version
@@dagamer4ever yeah there's definitely better versions now. The super console king or maxi for example. Amazon usually have some listings for all of these somewhere.
@@CrazyBurger I can't find super console king or maxi online are you able to do a link if possible

how can you get quick menu in the middle of the game?
I think you click the 2 thumbsticks in.. should take you to retroarch menu.
John, presentation spot on, great stuff, but please could you explain how to stream/capture screen from this console on TH-cam. Is it possible to do it without pc? Regards 🙂👍🏻
Thanks very much! So I use this device that I showcased here..th-cam.com/video/GbCzc5OmHCQ/w-d-xo.html
Very cheap and easy but of course you need a PC. You could still stream or record footage by using your phone recording the TV or monitor used. Not the best but still functional.
Thank you 👍🏻
Is there no 3DO and Sega Saturn on this?
Not as standard no. I doubt they would play well.
@@CrazyBurger Okay because the Super Console X King does have Saturn/3DO and it runs them great so maybe I'll get that one instead.
@@christopherwalkinalloverya5824 Yes if you have that opportunity get that one.. its performance is slightly better overall.
Does it have the game "Omega Race"?
Sensible soccer.? Lotus trilogy? Desert strike jungle strike Rick dangerous.? I might grab one lol I shouldn’t…..
Is there a way to fast forward game play?
Yeah definitely.. Retroarch runs in the background so should be no problem.
Is King that much better than X Pro considering the price?
Mmm I'm not sure its worth the additional money. If you can get a good deal then get the King. But you'll only notice a difference in the tougher to emulate stuff such as N64, Dreamcast, PsP etc.. even then it's still not perfect.
