Been watching for a few months but finally had something to contribute. Got this with a $30 off Amazon coupon in Dec. Plays great on my extra 3060 laptop. Scanned it before using. Over 750k files scanned and no issues / viruses found. Doesn't play Zen 1 pinball. Unfortunate, since I love Adams Family, Star Trek TNG, Mars Attacks. Other than that, no REAL PS5 games. They're listed, but don't load. Only 3, but no biggie. Tri-Force won't play Mario Kart but F Zero AX ROCKS! Always fantasized about this one. This is my 1st dip into emulation, and just about to turn 50. I think I found my midlife crisis. How many can I actually play? Not perfect, but really solid. Can't wait to get the 48+ TB builds or others. Happy with it. Hooked up to a 60" in my den. Enough ranting. Satisfied!
ps3 games and xbox360 are the same titles for both consoles?, literaly duplicate with 1.5 tb of roms!!!!, if u count the duplicate between MAME and FINAL BURN, and lot of games doesn't boot even, I still dont know if it worth the money!!!
That's why the advertised game count is 40k and the real one is 102k there's more duplicates than actual titles but at the price point I think it's still fairly priced for what you get and what works. Xbox 360, ps3 and og xbox will always have limitations. These are emulator districted in many cases.
Yeah I believe the issues many fear and some experienced trace back to aliexpress and other outlets selling this drive. This is an issue we come across with all this type of stuff. One could buy this drive easily duplicate it and resell it for less money. In that process there's endless opportunities to add malware. They sell for less being more attractive to buyers and get your info as well in the process. Amazon is always more expensive but I've yet to encounter a virus in the many drives I've bought. Amazon isn't the Wild West that many other websites are that aren't us based. As a consumer we have the option of choice. Less is often less for a reason.
what era? during the megadrive era we had 100s of cartridges in a box but it allways came down to the favourite 3 anyway lol. people used to knock your front door with games for sale
Almost, almost made it through the entire video. No one could possibly get through even half the games on this collection even if they never ate or slept! But hey that is a good thing, right? What sold me is the Scumm VM collection. I don't know what I find so appealing about those games, but I do. Maybe it's because I am an avid reader at heart, and I just love reading the text while trying to solve the puzzles at the same time. Great review, thanks for going through this amazing collection for us.
Nice, I knew I was right to put this on my AliExpress shopping list, and I had genuine fun watching you show off how loaded this bad boy is while relaxing on my birthday. I'm gonna order it on AliExpress to get it at a better price, probably during a month when I'm not waiting for Switch preorders to arrive, or said consoles e-shop sales don't have anything that wows me. (I have a 1TB memory card I mine for digital-only and titles that get scalped in physical form)
Just got this hard drive and been playing with it for hours. I do consider myself an expert on emulation and could build this myself but I can assure you guys it would take months to years to set something like this up depending on how you go about it. So far everything has worked with controls including the pinball stuff and all the obscure stuff. All the teknoparot stuff is working and pretty much everything I've tested so far. Only a few systems like switch and a few others did not have control setup but most of the controls are set. The only other gripe is you might have to use the esc key or alt 4 to close some systems as the pre programed two button process on the Xbox controller does not close everything but closes most systems. If something is not working its probably related to the individual setup. This is definitely the real deal and would advise to grab it while you still can as something this good is never meant to last.
nice video and good explaining the details .I like how you show and scrolled though the game console list and the number of games for each selection that was very cool
SO buying one of these next paycheck. Already have a little KinHank bedside retro rig that I am very happy with so no beef with KinHank's products, and the sheer amount of gaming on this thing is insane, all the way up to Switch! Super well organized and configured collection too.
Towards the end of the brochure/manual that it brings it tells you that there’s around 40,000 games instead of the 100,000 when you take out the clones and it shows you how to do it.
Great video.. I have this drive for my arcade machine. I love it. There’s an option that allows you to turn off clones and duplicates. So, you don’t see games multiple times.
I really enjoy listen to you go through the nostalgia of gaming on a daily Basis through emulation. I’ve been playing games for a long time since 78 and I see the maturity that has grown through the years. I have every system on the planet right now and the emulation saves me time going through each cable and I appreciate RGG for his through input.
@@OfficialChaseBrogan keep on doing what you are doing explaining the rights and wrongs of the emulators so people can be aware of what they are buying. Since I’ve seen your broadcasts I know that they are top notch and you are very knowledgeable about what you are talking about. What caught my eye on the live one from a few days ago was that they have all the God Of War on the 12TB. Also, I work on a lot of Dell computers that are under warranty repair so I get into the hardware side of things as well. I totally appreciate your true honesty.
I bought one today. Im from Norway, so it will take me a few weeks to get my hands on it, but man i cant wait. Im an old Amiga 600 owner, i was thinking of buying one. But, i feel like its better emulating now days. Just for the cost and for having stuff ready without its 40 years old ^Cough^. This is what i wanted, ive been searching high and low past days, and it seemed like there where many issues with the cheap alternatives. Getting a 12TB disk is worth its cost by its self due its 200dollar cheaper then a standard 12TB, so i can free up the collection i have from before. This was a good investment for an old guy like me. Great video! IM SOOO PUMPED to get it now
Cool Video @RetroGamingGuy . I recently bought this drive and also built myself a i7 rtx 4080 pc , the games runs really really well. and most of the time, i am just wandering in the menu, checking game videos and remembering good old days :)
Awesome video. You are one of the best game content creator. Does these hard drives come with instructions ? There is some of us who won’t have experience with these type of hard drives !! I believe this is overkill !! No one can possibly play every single game on this massive hard drive !!! Can you imagine owing a 96 TB hard drive ? But it’s costs $5,000 !! There are a bunch of collections I never heard of !!! Whoever put this huge collection together is just amazing !!! For this massive collection, you need an I 5 with a 1050 Ti graphics card in order to play the higher end modern graphically intense games. !! Never seen such a huge collection !! Imagine this -- trying to configure our controllers with so many emulators. !!! This will take an incredible amount of time if we want to play a large variety of games !! For PS 4, if they are really PC versions, then why do you say it’s for the PS 4. ??? Way too much duplication !!! Finally , imagine making a backup of this hard drive ??? Why is this advertised as having 40,000 games when there are over 100,000 ????? In all your reviews, you never give us the specs we need for our PCs. !!!! Is this real plug and play or do we have to go into the BIOS ??? Instead of getting this, shouldn’t we consider CoolMods ???
Hey there is go Kris coolmods over there but budget is quite different. It's likely secretaries at 40k games because when you weed out the duplicates that's your true number. It's def loaded with duplicates and collections are too stacked but I can't knock it because it's a reasonable price for what you get in the end. Not my first choice but that's personal preference. I don't ever mention the pc specs needed because those aren't always accurate. You can't go purely off specs because when PCs with similar or the same specs perform differently. If I tell everyone get these specific specs and people choose between 10 different options within that same spec recommendation they'll still have different experiences. It may be slightly different but it will be different still. I don't want somebody to see my recommendation and go out and spend hundreds of dollars on a pc that doesn't give them the experience they desire. I review PCs but in those cases what you see is entirely what you get. In this situation it's much more complicated. As far as plug and play it's accessed within windows you do needs drivers and files downloaded but they provide them and there's a manual in the box when I open it up that's pretty thorough. If you already have a gaming setup you likely have the files and drivers downloaded already.
Thank you sooooo much for your excellent response !!! Very appreciated !!! Wish I had your knowledge !! Now I have a very good understanding after your awesome explanations. So I apologize for stating you never give out the specs. Thank you for advising about the manual for the hard drive. Some of us are not tech savy and afraid of purchasing these plug and play hard drives. I don’t want to pay large sums of money and then find out I don’t know what I am doing. In appreciate you taking the time to respond to my comments. You are the top gaming content creator and respect your opinions.
@@OfficialChaseBrogan I was also curious how to add Wii games because I realize a large chunk of the just dance collection and a few others are missing I'm not sure if you want to make a tutorial on your main channel or if you have a sub channel but if you were to list the steps on how to add games without messing up the wheel that would be awesome thank you the video is awesome btw
I am looking forward for one of these and I will definitely be looking forward to having one of these.. that is going to be a great opportunity for me to go back into the childhood days with full of memories that we have back in the day when they had retro classic video games 🎮 that we use to play, and then they have the same memories that we used to have back then and back when.. and now they have that memories that we can still have in KinHank 12TB Plug & Play Video Game 🎮 and now that they have 100,000 retro video games 🎮 in Hard Drive
Even though I'm not a fan of KinHank with all issues had with my X2 Pro Super Console, I appreciate time & effort you put into these reviews, your video's helped me decide to go the krisscoolmod way of gaming hard drives, I had specs for PC you have, written down to compare what I would need, but can't find it, all ik was a HP Pavillion gaming PC... Anyhow keep up the great work my friend & ignore the haters.
So I recently got this exact drive. And I got to say it was definitely not as prepared as I would like it to have been. I had to go through and reset each emulator to read my controller. To layman. That would have been too much work and they probably would have sent it back. That being said, to have it as a backup ROM collection, that is amazing! Also, if you haven't played with techno parrot that thing is awesome!
@@Macktube yeah it's a little difficult to explain but if you go inside the folders when you open it up at the top there's collections where all your ROMs are located. Right underneath is emulators if you go into there and open each individual folder, you're going to find the EXE for each emulator. So let's say you want to play the switch. It's yuzu so you got to find the the yuzu EXE file and open the application. Then from there you got to go in and set your controllers. The one that had the most difficult time with was absolutely going to be the switch or excuse me, not the switch the GameCube because the GameCube was in Chinese so I needed to hold my phone's translator up so that I could see what it said to click on each option. But yeah you got to go in your emulators open up the emulators outside of hyperspin do not open the hyperspin just open the folders and inside each emulator you have to go through and then manually set up your controls select. You know I use a PlayStation 4 so I had to select PlayStation 4 wireless controller then go in, turn it on and then individually go through the buttons and set each button on the controller manually. That was the only way I could get systems like the GameCube systems like the switch systems like some of the arcades like Mario GP. I had to go into techno parrot and set that up manually so that I can play the game's
@@MacktubeI have not noticed. Honestly. I may have to go look for that. I know if you hit up the start button it brings up a list of like whether you want the additional individual setups on and that kind of stuff. I don't know if there's an update or underneath there.
@RetroGamingGuy I'v had my eye on this box for a while. My only question is does it have an update system that allows you to fix bugs and add new features or is it just locked as it is. Also is there a way to check this hard drive for any malware or spyware?
if the frontend is hyperspin then have a search for Hyperspin controller config, if it is a certain emulator then you need to do setup in there usually though the xbox controller works from the start in the fontend anyway
Could you please do a video showing how to map controllers. I purchased one of these a few months back, and it can be awesome if my controller was mapped properly.
For almost $300 you should be able to ask the seller for this information, if not I would return it. This is just a front end loaded with thousands of illegal roms. What these people are selling is illegal
would you go with this or Kriscoolmod 4tb drive? I know this has 3x the size, but you seemed to like Kriscoolmod's drive as well, and his won't have all the duplicates.
I'd go with Kris's over this because I find it to be better polished off and no duplicates and excessive collections. This one's just a little too overwhelming and at the end of the day I believe less is more
Alright just asking because I'm really interested in getting a plug and play already set up with controller working basically nothing I really need to do. Looking for one that plugs in to a tv screen or a mini pc with everything ready to go. Looking for one that can play the nes, snes, gamecube, n64, psx, psx2, dream cast and possible ps3. and don't want to get one that has viruses if I hook up to my computer. One that has a good library of things. What do you recommend? what do you think the best one is so far?
I bought this drive. Have you tried hooking up the retro shooter guns to it and get it to work. I'm having zero luck. If you have any suggestions for me let me know please. Thanks
Great video @RetroGamingGuy you mentioned that you ran this via Windows 11. Is it possible to boot up to this if I don’t have Windows as an OS installed? I want to replace a current smaller setup I have the is running batocera. Thanks
Thanks for this video. This looks like a great plug-in play solution. I have an older arcade setup with a Wells Gardner D9200 tri-sync monitor. How difficult would something like this be to configure this for that monitor? Insane is right though.. this is almost too much..
Hi.... I really liked the hinhank mini pc... But when I played model 3 Sega, the screen image was set to the right slightly? Couldn't work out how to correct..... How did you get on...? Pete 🇬🇧
I got one on order, cant wait to check it out. I do have a question. I watched another reviewer and one of the games he liked was not working. when he selected it, it play a different rom. He then check on one of the other Emulators and it ran the same Wrong rom. This was because that Rom folder had the incorrect game it it. So... when it comes to all the Dupes you found, are they really Duped and taking up spaces on the HDD in a folder, or are they just like some ones Saves Fav play list ( collections ) just taking up a bit of Data pointing to the same Folder for the rom, cart, or game?
Yeah, I've been trying to build out a collection on my own for awhile now and I'm just over hunting downloads down, I got most of everything that is popular, but I really wanted this for the obscure stuff and the arcade, 100% worth.
How difficult is setup? Hyperspin is never easy. I wish you would have gone into this aspect. Can we use USB arcade stick? What controller? Can we boot into?
Hey, does anyone know if you can access the isos/roms files inside hard drive by just going into the folders in order to copy some of the games to other hard drives? Thanks
How is the background music for the PS1 titles? The music has always been ripped from the X1 to X4 consoles from this brand. Only thing holding me back from buying
Anyone know how to fix black screen error, not sure what I messed up but it boots to Config screen and if I select back it just stays on black screen instead of main menu wheel...help someone
Do u have a mini PC u would recommend through amazon or aliexpress that would run all these games on this drive? Trying to narrow down a mini pc that would do it all without issues. Lot of solid options in the 250-400 range but question if they would struggle with the more high end. Then theres the 500-700 range that seem to be winners but curious if i need to pony up for the top tier or if that mid tier has a gem u would recommend please?
Hi I was interested to buying this and just wanted to know how user friendly this is cause I’m not tech savvy but am a plug n play gamer when it comes to computer gaming. My question was since this hardrive is expensive is it worth buying if my preference of games are mostly the heavy games like gta 5 god of war pc spiderman pc last of us uncharted legacy and Batman Arkham games also emulators like switch ps3 and Xbox and Xbox 360 games I do have a high end pc it has ryzen 9 with and reason 16ram and about 4.something ghz. I know this won’t be perfect but is it worth it. And how will I be able to update the emulators without messing up the hard drive. And where is the best place to purchase it. any advice…
I have made my own Retrobat 5gb, Thing I like about these collections, is saves you a heap of time downloading ROMS, and a great backup source of ROMS, so for me worth buying these
Well said yeah you will have some limitations with any mini pc for the high end stuff sometimes settings adjustments can be made but I'd say a true gaming pc is needed to glide through without any headaches
If you buy a 12TB for cheaper, you can just find someone that has one of these or has a backup image file stored of this HDD and make a clone. $300 is pretty steep. You pay for convenience but I rather do it that way, save some money.
But like if you try clone it your gonna need 12TB storage and the empty ones cost you 200-300 dollars so you rather just buy the ones with games on same price
I'm trying to play some of the Apple II games and get a warning that only the first (floppy) disc on a zip file can when be accessed. I say okay and then in the game they want me to "insert disc 2". Any ideas on a workaround?
Sorry I missed the Vid guys was at church last night. But watching this now seems ok but very rom dumpy feeling about it. Especially with the dupe gun collections. Seems like they downloaded some images and dumped them all together
What do I need to run this system. I don't have a PC....can you just use a TV? If a gaming PC is needed or gaming laptop, what should I get like expansion USB slots for controllers, CD drives etc? Does RetroPie Raspberry 4 just plug into a smart tv?
Thanks for this very in depth review. Would this run on Steam Deck? Would i need to install Windows or is it able to boot directly off the USB drive? Thanks
In future videos could you check for the NHL 90s hockey games like NHL 94 97 etc those were great to play and have the old stars from yesteryear please and great video as always thank you for the time you put in to these
Mine didn't come with controllers but usually anything provided is very entry level and budget friendly. I prefer pc controllers they are more reliable than Xbox ones which would be intended for the Xbox console not PCs
i have a question...does the 12Tb kinhank come fully installed MOSTLY complete collections of psp,ps1ps2 ps3 n64,nintendo and gameboy games?????....cos i just ordered a kinhank hyperspin 2 for 250pounds
I love gaming BUT so new at this type SO can you give an example of a (high end) gaming pc “I hope I don’t sound dumb 😊) or do you got a video on this type of gaming for beginners awesome videos btw I’m gonna order that 3tb gaming console you found on Ali express
Anyone have a solid beginning to end tutorial link that shows how I can build something this for Hyperspin or Batocera? Even discussing the problematic ones like Teknoparrot and Daphne. I have every rom and more that's included on the HDD in this video. No way I'd pay for this. Rather do it myself. Thanks!
Holycow bro! Its massive. So many games. Where do I start? This is what I need. I love the Tekno Parrot and wrestling collection. I would eliminate a number of collections and duplcates need to go. Great in depth review.
Hey just got a question about this, so does it actually hold like pretty popular Wii games like sonic, Spyro, crash Mario kart and Pokémon and that, because I agree the older games are wicked but I wanna know if the 2010 games are on it and you can connect it to your tv ?????
It would get you into most of this yes. It may struggle with some of the high end pc games I haven't tested it with those. Those working kids ps4 and ps5 as those are truly pc
This is all new to me, im 77 years old but i like what i see. Once i plug this in my PC what controls do I need? Can i use a pedestal, two joy stick console?
So, what I NEVER understand in these videos with these boxes... like... if I bought this, could I somehow not only attach it inside a custom arcade cabinet, as well as have a channel to have the game title appear on a marquee monitor?
I'm not sure how marquees work but to the first part of your question yues you can put this in a arcade cabinet if you wanted to. You could do a marquee I just don't know how to go about doing that but I've seen many do it. My cabinets have old school marquees not screen marquees.

Hi.... Did model 3 play straight off the bat or did u need to change any settings? . Pete 🇬🇧
Wait there's a 48TB Build,😮 Is that confirmed coming?
Could you imagine having something like this when you were a kid? We were lucky to get a couple games a year.
what era? during the megadrive era we had 100s of cartridges in a box but it allways came down to the favourite 3 anyway lol. people used to knock your front door with games for sale
I was a kid in the 80's..this product would have been considered science fiction back then.
I wouldn't have been able to wrap my head around the concept of TWELVE TERABYTES
If I had this as a kid I would be indoors permanently 🤣🤣
To be fair 95% are garbage and repeat games.

I review PCs but in those cases what you see is entirely what you get. In this situation it's much more complicated. As far as plug and play it's accessed within windows you do needs drivers and files downloaded but they provide them and there's a manual in the box when I open it up that's pretty thorough. If you already have a gaming setup you likely have the files and drivers downloaded already.
Thank you sooooo much for your excellent response !!! Very appreciated !!! Wish I had your knowledge !! Now I have a very good understanding after your awesome explanations. So I apologize for stating you never give out the specs. Thank you for advising about the manual for the hard drive. Some of us are not tech savy and afraid of purchasing these plug and play hard drives. I don’t want to pay large sums of money and then find out I don’t know what I am doing. In appreciate you taking the time to respond to my comments. You are the top gaming content creator and respect your opinions.
Damm, that's an amazing answer to an unnecessary rant.. cool level headed guy..
Omg do you remember me I was one of the first suggestions for the Ken Hank 12 terabyte hyperspin drive thank you for making this video
Yes that's why I got it! Thanks!
@@OfficialChaseBrogan I was also curious how to add Wii games because I realize a large chunk of the just dance collection and a few others are missing I'm not sure if you want to make a tutorial on your main channel or if you have a sub channel but if you were to list the steps on how to add games without messing up the wheel that would be awesome thank you the video is awesome btw
Overwhelming yet Awesome
I am looking forward for one of these and I will definitely be looking forward to having one of these.. that is going to be a great opportunity for me to go back into the childhood days with full of memories that we have back in the day when they had retro classic video games 🎮 that we use to play, and then they have the same memories that we used to have back then and back when.. and now they have that memories that we can still have in KinHank 12TB Plug & Play Video Game 🎮 and now that they have 100,000 retro video games 🎮 in Hard Drive
Even though I'm not a fan of KinHank with all issues had with my X2 Pro Super Console, I appreciate time & effort you put into these reviews, your video's helped me decide to go the krisscoolmod way of gaming hard drives, I had specs for PC you have, written down to compare what I would need, but can't find it, all ik was a HP Pavillion gaming PC... Anyhow keep up the great work my friend & ignore the haters.
What kind of problems did you have with x2 pro?
So I recently got this exact drive. And I got to say it was definitely not as prepared as I would like it to have been. I had to go through and reset each emulator to read my controller. To layman. That would have been too much work and they probably would have sent it back. That being said, to have it as a backup ROM collection, that is amazing! Also, if you haven't played with techno parrot that thing is awesome!
Can you tell us exactly the steps you took to reset each emulator with your controller?
@@Macktube yeah it's a little difficult to explain but if you go inside the folders when you open it up at the top there's collections where all your ROMs are located. Right underneath is emulators if you go into there and open each individual folder, you're going to find the EXE for each emulator. So let's say you want to play the switch. It's yuzu so you got to find the the yuzu EXE file and open the application. Then from there you got to go in and set your controllers. The one that had the most difficult time with was absolutely going to be the switch or excuse me, not the switch the GameCube because the GameCube was in Chinese so I needed to hold my phone's translator up so that I could see what it said to click on each option. But yeah you got to go in your emulators open up the emulators outside of hyperspin do not open the hyperspin just open the folders and inside each emulator you have to go through and then manually set up your controls select. You know I use a PlayStation 4 so I had to select PlayStation 4 wireless controller then go in, turn it on and then individually go through the buttons and set each button on the controller manually. That was the only way I could get systems like the GameCube systems like the switch systems like some of the arcades like Mario GP. I had to go into techno parrot and set that up manually so that I can play the game's
I had to do the same thing
@@djturtle2006 Thanks that was incredibly helpful. Do you know if this has an update button that lets you fix bugs and or add featurers?
@@MacktubeI have not noticed. Honestly. I may have to go look for that. I know if you hit up the start button it brings up a list of like whether you want the additional individual setups on and that kind of stuff. I don't know if there's an update or underneath there.
@RetroGamingGuy I'v had my eye on this box for a while. My only question is does it have an update system that allows you to fix bugs and add new features or is it just locked as it is. Also is there a way to check this hard drive for any malware or spyware?
I got this but how do I setup my pc Xbox controller to map out the buttons because they are all messed up? Thanks
if the frontend is hyperspin then have a search for Hyperspin controller config, if it is a certain emulator then you need to do setup in there
usually though the xbox controller works from the start in the fontend anyway
This can be used in a tv?
Could you please do a video showing how to map controllers. I purchased one of these a few months back, and it can be awesome if my controller was mapped properly.
For almost $300 you should be able to ask the seller for this information, if not I would return it. This is just a front end loaded with thousands of illegal roms. What these people are selling is illegal
Wow, thats an amazing drive for what you get its well worth the price, will be picking one up for sure, love the Motorhead shout out too🤘
how do you get the hyperspin games to show up when you play them to record like for streaming on obs
DUDE i WANNA see those bloopers!!!! hehehe 🎉🎉🎉 😂😂😂 hope yer doing better since yer huge loss ❤
12 tb is a lifetime of game exploring and playing. I hope it ends up in your Friday giveaway. I have the perfect spot on my desk for it!
Too bad the drive it comes on will not last past a few years if your lucky.
It's an amazing collection for sure. But do you have to rely solely on the carousel, or does it have a search function?
Is the Beelink SER6 powerful enough to handle this 12 tb drive? Just getting into retro gaming and don't have a pc.
Any answers?
I bought a beeline Ser7. Doesn't do so well with xbox.
would you go with this or Kriscoolmod 4tb drive? I know this has 3x the size, but you seemed to like Kriscoolmod's drive as well, and his won't have all the duplicates.
I'd go with Kris's over this because I find it to be better polished off and no duplicates and excessive collections. This one's just a little too overwhelming and at the end of the day I believe less is more
Does this support local multiplayer?
can you create a guide on how to set up controllers on these? Also is there a delay on the controller input?
how do you get your monitor/screen to have each game from all the different systems look crystal clear on screen ?? pleaase ??
Does it have any more games than the other 12tb one you reviewed a few months ago?
I think so it good with teknoparrot
Alright just asking because I'm really interested in getting a plug and play already set up with controller working basically nothing I really need to do. Looking for one that plugs in to a tv screen or a mini pc with everything ready to go. Looking for one that can play the nes, snes, gamecube, n64, psx, psx2, dream cast and possible ps3. and don't want to get one that has viruses if I hook up to my computer. One that has a good library of things.
What do you recommend? what do you think the best one is so far?
google is your friend
I bought this drive. Have you tried hooking up the retro shooter guns to it and get it to work. I'm having zero luck. If you have any suggestions for me let me know please. Thanks
Just like to know what mini pc I can get to use with this hard drive to work perfectly
Ser6/Ser7 and GMKteck K2 or GMKtec nucbox 10
I have one of these and its amazing!!! :)
Does this work on a TV or only plugged to a computer?
Great video @RetroGamingGuy you mentioned that you ran this via Windows 11. Is it possible to boot up to this if I don’t have Windows as an OS installed? I want to replace a current smaller setup I have the is running batocera. Thanks
Why do all of my games run slow/have a minor lag and audio stutter with this system?
Can it be used on your TV or through the PS5? It can only be used on a PC?
Lol... this is a storage media device. There isn't a cpu or gpu to run the software. PC only.
Music (not the game sounds) in all games included? On the x2 pro are the most games without the music files..?
Music is included in all the games I tested yes
Thanks for this video. This looks like a great plug-in play solution. I have an older arcade setup with a Wells Gardner D9200 tri-sync monitor. How difficult would something like this be to configure this for that monitor? Insane is right though.. this is almost too much..
Can you connect light guns? If so which brand do you recommend? Thanks!
Dude, you scrolled past vector games like nothin and spend a couple minutes on wrestling games? 😂 Thanks for the video, appreciate it 👍
Hi.... I really liked the hinhank mini pc... But when I played model 3 Sega, the screen image was set to the right slightly? Couldn't work out how to correct..... How did you get on...? Pete 🇬🇧
Set resolution to 800x600 and set to full screen
@@dazzler171 thanks...sent it back and brought the 500gb HDD £17.. instead with model 3. Running at 1920 on my new 4050 laptop
What pc you use in this video
Great channel man!
Thank you!
Can you plug this into a tv and play? Like the other systems? Or is it just a HDD and needs a PC to play it?
how do you get the ps5 and ps4 console emulators i had bought this hard drive but i only have ps1 ps2 ps3 psp and others help?
I got one on order, cant wait to check it out. I do have a question. I watched another reviewer and one of the games he liked was not working. when he selected it, it play a different rom. He then check on one of the other Emulators and it ran the same Wrong rom. This was because that Rom folder had the incorrect game it it. So... when it comes to all the Dupes you found, are they really Duped and taking up spaces on the HDD in a folder, or are they just like some ones Saves Fav play list ( collections ) just taking up a bit of Data pointing to the same Folder for the rom, cart, or game?
Can't see it on amazon any more from that link,just to two cassette ones. 🤷🏽♂️
Yeah, I just got a link to a 2TB one.
Yeah, I've been trying to build out a collection on my own for awhile now and I'm just over hunting downloads down, I got most of everything that is popular, but I really wanted this for the obscure stuff and the arcade, 100% worth.
How difficult is setup? Hyperspin is never easy. I wish you would have gone into this aspect. Can we use USB arcade stick? What controller? Can we boot into?
Hey, does anyone know if you can access the isos/roms files inside hard drive by just going into the folders in order to copy some of the games to other hard drives? Thanks
How is the background music for the PS1 titles? The music has always been ripped from the X1 to X4 consoles from this brand. Only thing holding me back from buying
Anyone know how to fix black screen error, not sure what I messed up but it boots to Config screen and if I select back it just stays on black screen instead of main menu wheel...help someone
Do u have a mini PC u would recommend through amazon or aliexpress that would run all these games on this drive? Trying to narrow down a mini pc that would do it all without issues. Lot of solid options in the 250-400 range but question if they would struggle with the more high end. Then theres the 500-700 range that seem to be winners but curious if i need to pony up for the top tier or if that mid tier has a gem u would recommend please?
find a second hand gaming pc, you'll get more bang for the buck
Is there anything in the settings to setup retroshooter guns or any other guns for the lightgun games.
Hey RGG how hard are the gun games to configure to this?
Thanks
Unfortunately the link doesn't work in Europe, if someone knows how to get this hard drive from Germany please share it with me! ✌🏼🤓🎮
google is your friend
anyone have a chapter breakdown on this video?
I want this!! Adding it to my list 😊
Hi I was interested to buying this and just wanted to know how user friendly this is cause I’m not tech savvy but am a plug n play gamer when it comes to computer gaming. My question was since this hardrive is expensive is it worth buying if my preference of games are mostly the heavy games like gta 5 god of war pc spiderman pc last of us uncharted legacy and Batman Arkham games also emulators like switch ps3 and Xbox and Xbox 360 games I do have a high end pc it has ryzen 9 with and reason 16ram and about 4.something ghz. I know this won’t be perfect but is it worth it. And how will I be able to update the emulators without messing up the hard drive. And where is the best place to purchase it. any advice…
I have made my own Retrobat 5gb, Thing I like about these collections, is saves you a heap of time downloading ROMS, and a great backup source of ROMS, so for me worth buying these
Do they have Mortal Kombat Collection in this system like Mortal Kombat, 2,3,4,5, and up?
Imagine that paired with that beelink pc . 😮 What a combo ....
RGG maybe it might be a good idea to have a "drives" playlist of your channel
That's solid idea
Ser 7 going to run all of this, or a gaming rig with dedicated graphics required?
Yeah it run but not all at 100% you have to know emulation
But most of the games run good
Well said yeah you will have some limitations with any mini pc for the high end stuff sometimes settings adjustments can be made but I'd say a true gaming pc is needed to glide through without any headaches
Do they have one like this but has hdmi to plug directly into a thays 12 tb like this 🤔
If you buy a 12TB for cheaper, you can just find someone that has one of these or has a backup image file stored of this HDD and make a clone. $300 is pretty steep. You pay for convenience but I rather do it that way, save some money.
And all you data not on a used drive with unknown past and RH.
But like if you try clone it your gonna need 12TB storage and the empty ones cost you 200-300 dollars so you rather just buy the ones with games on same price

I'm trying to play some of the Apple II games and get a warning that only the first (floppy) disc on a zip file can when be accessed. I say okay and then in the game they want me to "insert disc 2". Any ideas on a workaround?
Sorry I missed the Vid guys was at church last night. But watching this now seems ok but very rom dumpy feeling about it. Especially with the dupe gun collections. Seems like they downloaded some images and dumped them all together
What do I need to run this system. I don't have a PC....can you just use a TV? If a gaming PC is needed or gaming laptop, what should I get like expansion USB slots for controllers, CD drives etc? Does RetroPie Raspberry 4 just plug into a smart tv?
Thanks for this very in depth review. Would this run on Steam Deck? Would i need to install Windows or is it able to boot directly off the USB drive? Thanks
I wanna know this too :-/
Is there a search option? Where can i buy this?
Would it be possible, to get specs, for your gaming pc? A general idea would do as well. Thanks.
In future videos could you check for the NHL 90s hockey games like NHL 94 97 etc those were great to play and have the old stars from yesteryear please and great video as always thank you for the time you put in to these
Is this one compatible to the Retro Gaming Console?
@RetroGamingGuy would you suggest the controller it comes with or an xbox controller?
Mine didn't come with controllers but usually anything provided is very entry level and budget friendly. I prefer pc controllers they are more reliable than Xbox ones which would be intended for the Xbox console not PCs
@RetroGamingGuy thanks this helps me out alot and thanks for responding back so fast 🫡
I need Nba Street vol 2 in my life asap lol
i have a question...does the 12Tb kinhank come fully installed MOSTLY complete collections of psp,ps1ps2 ps3 n64,nintendo and gameboy games?????....cos i just ordered a kinhank hyperspin 2 for 250pounds
I love gaming BUT so new at this type SO can you give an example of a (high end) gaming pc “I hope I don’t sound dumb 😊) or do you got a video on this type of gaming for beginners awesome videos btw I’m gonna order that 3tb gaming console you found on Ali express
Anyone have a solid beginning to end tutorial link that shows how I can build something this for Hyperspin or Batocera? Even discussing the problematic ones like Teknoparrot and Daphne. I have every rom and more that's included on the HDD in this video. No way I'd pay for this. Rather do it myself. Thanks!
Holycow bro! Its massive. So many games. Where do I start? This is what I need. I love the Tekno Parrot and wrestling collection. I would eliminate a number of collections and duplcates need to go. Great in depth review.
Did you have to login to Teknoparrot to run the games or sub to their monthly patreon to play most titles?
Does this plug n play into a tv or does it need a pc?
I have a dell optiplex 3050 sff. Could I just pull this hdd out of the enclosure and install it into the dell?
Hey just got a question about this, so does it actually hold like pretty popular Wii games like sonic, Spyro, crash Mario kart and Pokémon and that, because I agree the older games are wicked but I wanna know if the 2010 games are on it and you can connect it to your tv ?????
Thanks for this, awesome break down. On one of your previous videos, I believe you said the Beelink ser6 max would work well with this??
It would get you into most of this yes. It may struggle with some of the high end pc games I haven't tested it with those. Those working kids ps4 and ps5 as those are truly pc
My beelink ser5 runs up to dream cast with no issues ... and psp . I don't go past that with emulation since I still on my ps2 xbox360 etc

Do the arcade games have bezels? Like the ones from the actual arcade cabinets? If not, is there a setting to add them?
This is all new to me, im 77 years old but i like what i see. Once i plug this in my PC what controls do I need? Can i use a pedestal, two joy stick console?
You probably could you'd just have to map it for the retro games which should be done from your main menu
@@OfficialChaseBrogan thanks, love your videos!!
Do u like it better or you prefer the Kool mod collection drives better?
Also check out retroarayuz drives if you want a clean collection
Koolmod is better he doesn't have the duplicates so it's more polished
What about 2 player titles? Can you play local multiplayer?
So, what I NEVER understand in these videos with these boxes... like... if I bought this, could I somehow not only attach it inside a custom arcade cabinet, as well as have a channel to have the game title appear on a marquee monitor?
I'm not sure how marquees work but to the first part of your question yues you can put this in a arcade cabinet if you wanted to. You could do a marquee I just don't know how to go about doing that but I've seen many do it. My cabinets have old school marquees not screen marquees.
Are any of the Zork FMV games on these collections from the PC?
