DISCLAIMER: This video is not 'sponsored'. Product was sent to me for the purpose of review, but all opinions are my own. Company did not have any say in the video content, and did not get the chance to see the video before it was published. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Regarding the issue that some have brought up regarding viruses found on the drive. I scanned it and I found 'questionable' key generators and game cracks in the PC games section of the drive. I think they're just downloading torrents of cracked games, which often are flagged by virus software. Often these are false flags. But sometimes they are not. I don't care enough to test each and every one properly, because like I say in the video I don't support pirating PC games. I always delete them off these sorts of products to make more space for retro games, so if you get this you can just delete the PC games off the drive and it's perfectly clean without them. As always if you want to run cracked PC games then you'll have to do it at your own risk.
I came here to ask this actually lol. Mine came in after DHL hard fumbled it for 3 weeks and the amazon reviews kind of made me worry a little. I'll do some scans and hopefully it's only as you said.
How many Ps2, Ps3, Ps4, Nintendo switch, Xbox games does it have? I might buy it
Hi TechDweeb.. how can I play with the second controller in 2 player games.... because when I try to use the second controller no way to connect and play in 2 player.if you can give me a advice how can I fix this problem thank you
@@foreverfree12345 I haven't had that problem...I plugged in an Xbox and a Switch controller and it seemed to auto map both controllers...What games are you trying to play?

I was born in 1985 and as a little kid I wouldn’t have even been able to imagine something like this. Here we are 38 years later, and I literally can have my whole life in gaming on a 3.5in drive. Forget flying cars, this is the future I wanted!
Haha totally. Although retro games in a flying car would be next level 🤔
I don't know man.. those flying cars are still tantalizing lol.
I'm a younger gamer but still old school enough to experienced the Nintendo in all its glory.
I agree with you, it's insane how far we've come.
You are 2 years older than me, we experienced the golden age of video games, now it's all about DLCs
@TechDweeb what is a good option for a pc to play the higher requirement games? 360? Ps3? I have a Beelink SER mini pc
@@rickjames9039 What you said! :D
Even if these types of devices are mediocre, they're essential for video game preservation imo. Like having the library of Alexandria of video games.
Oh there is WAAAAYYYY over 40k games on here. I would be surprised if there was even only 100k.
400 dollars for stolen games.
@HHRain 😂 Have fun paying ten dollars for Gameboy games you don't actually own. While I enjoy my huge hardrive full of the classics. Games belong to the people, especially when they've been paying for them for thirty years.
@@HHRainit’s $280 and the drive alone costs $230. So it’s really $50 for ‘stolen games’ along with it everything being setup / organized with the correct metadata.
@@jordanrock3494"games belong to the people". Kid your moral compass is screwed up. That's not how this works.... At all. It's not even close to approaching that. Archival copies are fine; but you're clearly delusional.
Very glad that you've reviewed this. It's an awesome device!
Whoa. Now that's pretty awesome. Looks like I know what I'm buying for my birthday next week. Thanks Tech Dweeb
HEY TD this thing is awesome i might pick one up just for the retro roms great video thanks man
I have been collecting emus for a while but I like the convenience of this one. Definitely a buy. Thanks for the info
Thanks I been saving up to get this you got me so hype I can't wait to get me one
Thanks, I've ordered it today! :D
So happy you got this drive. I recently got this thing for the very reasons you listed. I work allot and just don't have the time to download all these rom's. I would love for someone to do a deep dive on this thing. For example how to properly and most effectively transfer these games to a RP3+ or RP2s. Also I have watched your channel and retro game core for over a year now and have been learning the retro game handheld scene very slowly but for some odd reason I still cant get my games to save. If you could do a small intro on how to do a save state very slowly that would be awesome. I just don't understand what I'm missing.
Awesome!
For the saves, you mean in this drive or on your handhelds? If it's on this drive you'll need to open up the retoarch settings (l3 + r3) while the game is open, and then go to the main settings>input>hotkeys, and in there you can set whatever hotkey you want for save (I choose 'select' as the hotkey enable, and r1 as save, and l1 as load). Stop by my discord and ask for help if you need a hand :)
This blows my mind. Has to be the best value for money rom set I’ve seen. This is going on my wish list
Great job and great video editing 😮🎉
Thanks, Tech Dweeb.
I really enjoyed that.
This just arrived. Good to have the entire gaming history in a box.
How was it?
Curious to know if you had better results than some of the reviewers - e.g. which games worked out of the box? eg. teknoparrot, arcades, or common consoles like genesis, snes, PS1, DC, N64, Gamecube, and more advanced systems like PS3, Switch and XBOX360. They mentioned many games do not work like 3DS, but if you use your own emulator then you can at least get the roms configured yourself to run. ...other systems are like this too. So a lot of figuring out maybe?
This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! Thank you so much for this awesome video!
Glad it was helpful!
I finally ordered mine yesterday and dude, I am HYPED! I grew up playing so many of these wonderful games.
Man this is exactly what I need! I'm an old dinosaur that doesn't have the tech savvy or the time to build something like this. I've been watching alot of videos on this but you explained it the best Tech Dweeb! Thank you so much!
if you are not tech savy and you buy this, then use an xbox controller. anything else will cause you a headache to reconfigure. Also run a virus scan. there are some trojans, however don't let that scare you from buying the product. Honestly the value of this is incredible. When you run an antivirus on this know that HACKS and CRACKS are NOT viruses. Those are there to either help you cheat in a game, or to launch specific games. TROJANS and RANSOMWARE are the bad ones. I found some of these but were easily managed with the antivirus that comes with windows - microsoft defender. go ahead and quarantine those that have a severe threat label. there is also a good chance that those threats are just false flags.
To me, your mouse stole the show!
You have an excellent review here. I have been on the fence and held off for awhile!
Keep up the good work and subbed!
Wow. I've watched the other videos you made on these hard drive ROMsets, but even at $300 this is the first one that's really tempted me to go and buy one. Because of my data cap, it'd take me around 9-10 months to download all this stuff. I'd say getting everything in January (in a 12 TB Seagate drive) is worth the asking price.
This is the best one I've ever seen. I'm happy to bring it to people's attention.
You'd probably play more if the games taking the year to download your own collection, loll. Plus there's new English transitions for games every month it feels like.
This thing is nuts. If you did a giveaway contest with something like this HD, it would get everyone going crazy!
This actually looks like the BEST product Kinhank has ever come out with! I love the bezels and shaders included! I have my own rom collection now but I would love to have this just as another backup at the very least haha. Cool product!
Yeah they did a good job with this one. Kinda surprised me because usually they're not great with their rom sets.
@TechDweeb it's not even kinhank they stole it open the text document were it says if you bought this you were scammed it's free
#supportyoulocalstolengames
Just bought it! Thanks bro!!
Antique gamer here, just jumped head first into this hobby and damn, you just made my life so much easier. As you said, just the library alone to use on my Odin 2 Pro is worth the price of admission. Cheers and thanks!!!🎉🎉🎉
I can understand the hate towards these devices. Basically you can build one yourself for cheaper but it is very convenient and great for video game history nerds.
Definitely buying this for thr future i want to watch the snow at my window while im playing vector man in my pc all night in a warm fire 🔥 thanks man
Haha Vectorman, awesome choice!
Thank you for reviewing this
I just purchased from Amazon.
Thank u for the video. Gonna buy one right now. 🎉
Enjoy!
I just purchased one myself. Thanks for the video.
Nice. Enjoy!
Does it include oddworld strangers wrath for the original Xbox?
@@addictofoxygen i’m not sure I ordered it and still hasn’t shipped it from Amazon!
@@coreystill7197 okay - thanks. Hope you get it soon!
@@coreystill7197 kindly tell if bully game was on it?
comments saying that anyone can create by himself this collection and the emulators... is like saying that anyone can build his house by laying bricks. xD
They underestimate the amount of time it would take to make one this extensive.
I remember spending an entire summer putting one of these together and it only had a couple terabytes. Although, there are easier ways to do this, now days.
I bought this a few days ago, and actually found this channel looking for a review of this exact product, likely while u were working on this video. Mines still zooming in from china now, thanks for reassuring my buyers remorse 😂
Haha I do that all the time. You're good here, you'll love it. :D
@TechDweeb yea I probably will, BTW u have the most attractive review of this product on the platform rn 🤣
Really glad you did this hard drive review I'm waiting for mine to get here to me. I was hoping maybe you could talk about some of the gun controls out there for emulation? Like the Sinden guns.
I have a Sinden gun that I need to review. Stay tuned!
@@TechDweeb please buddy, i have just bought my 12 tb,,,,we strongly need a guide how to set up a lightgun on this dirve!!!!!!....thankzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
That's great! 🔥🔥🔥
Thinking about getting an arcade cabinet to set this up in. Thanks for the great video.
This would be amazing for an arcade because it's so bright and colourful and fun to browse!
I thought the same
This is so awesome and I would really want one.
Just ordered mine, this is gonna save me so much time I hope it has a Rock band/Guitar hero section also. Thanks!
Nice! I feel as you do, I'd get rid of current Gen games, you can delete the roms you don't want right? Anyways love your channel keep up the unique videos
Thanks buddy!
Yup, you can delete stuff you don't want. Unfortunately if you add your own stuff it won't be automatically scraped with the videos and stuff. There's a process to rebuild the frontend if you need to but it's a pain.
@@TechDweeb Can you elaborate on the process?
Hey dude, I absolutely love your videos, thank you so much for making awesome content. So, what type of kind of mini PC would I need for this system.? I want to get a mini PC, monitor, keyboard, mouse, controller and I really want this hard drive. What mini PC would you recommend..? Thanks again for all your content 😊😊😊
I'm glad to see your channel getting more traction as you do really good reviews. The reservation that some people have about these drives is if any kind of spyware is hidden on it so it would be nice if someone could do a deep dive into the files and see if there's anything like that.
Im wondering that myself.. I ordered the drive already but some review said there was like 30 viruses and i want to know if its true or just false positives..
@@sergioelizondo4486 I know tecknoparrot emulator does cause a lot of false positives because it has happened to me
im happy with my own emulation setup on my pc and steam deck, but man the value on that is crazy. lifetime of games ready to be plugged and played for under 300 bucks???
Not bad , keep it up 👍
This is awesome my nephew would also love this beside me
Awesome video!! Where did you get that keyboard and mouse at?
Thanks!

Loved this video. I am a kind of tech nerd myself. Talking about pirating if buying is not owning games, pirating is not stealing but sharing games.
How are you kids this morally bankrupt? Emulating is "socially acceptable"; but this whole aspect of making it some virtuous activity is beyond baffling.
@@JgHavertyPirating games is similar to sharing toys, food, or anything for that matter. You capitalistic cold blooded people can't really digest this fact. Emulating and pirating games is not stealing as you don't actually break into studios to steal them. You just modify them to share with others.
I want to thank all those generous Robin hoods branded as pirates by capitalistic minded morons - Codex, FLT, Empress, El Mighuel, Razor and more who had made games accessible to poor people all over the world. 🎉
@@JgHavertyno it's not
Very good value. I've been working on my own "Build" of Batocera for 3 YEARS now! Picking "All killer, No filler" games, scraping/manually finding and adding art and gameplay videos. Researching themes, trying to get the perfect "hidden gem" theme. Loading that theme with my own music list, filled with songs that have a obvious connection to games Eg. "Play the Game" by Queen, "Pac Man Fever" Buckner and Garcia etc... Creating custom settings for all the "testy" games, to get them running just right. Even creating my own boot video! All while dumping all of my own perfectly legally acquired BIOSeses and keys and firmwares and finally games.These things take time and PASSION! You don't just embark on this scale of project for "Funzies". If time is indeed money, then this is a cheap 12tb drive indeed (sure they only had to do it once and pump out copies...)serious work was done. Oh and by the way..... MY drive is only a 128gig mini USB HAH!
Share it pleaseeee 😢😢
Two questions for you please answer how do the c64 games run with the controller? And the little box pc you have in video can you plug that into a tv and run everything there or do you have to have a keyboard and monitor? Ty so much
Thanks for this video. Im gonna go get this. Which mini pc do you run this on?
This video is why I own this Emulator Hardrive. You were 100% on the reasons why someone would want to buy this.
Nice, glad it's working out for ya! I still use mine all the time. It's my main emulation drive :D
Excellent video as always mate!! On amazon some buyers mention that microsoft defender finding viruses, trojans, and malware is this a reality TechDweeb?or is something like a false positive alarm?
I'm wondering the same thing. Any input from those who bought this? TechDweeb?
This thing had a bunch of viruses. I know the anti-virus is probably just throwing false positives because of the software used to crack the PC games on it, but there are viruses that are listed as Trojans so I'm not 100% sure that's the case.
from my experience (i have bought already few gaming hard drive from aliexpress and amazon) I have never had issues with this kind of "viruses" most of the time windows recognise the crack files for pc games as malware, you can sleep on it do not worries, there are not peoples who want to strike your system from china, they just make money with very old hard disk throwing on them hyperspin and retrobat just to justify the price of an old and very used hard disk on sale!!!!
Would love to see the rest of the ps2 and ps3 library added in future, but this is amazing and I definitely want to get it
Tech Dweeb your one of best unique channels and love the whole outlook of channel just very original and funny as hell.
Quick question, did you get any viruses with this RETRO BEAASSSSST?
There are some but you will not get infected by just connecting it. run a quick scan with Microsoft defender and you should be good. quarantine the threats labeled as severe only. there are hack/crack tools in there that the antivirus will label as high threat however those files are of no threat at all. those are just tools needed to make the game run/install.
I bought a similar drive which came with Launchbox but it didn't come with quite as many of the higher-end titles. It was extremely easy to add/delete/off-load titles though and I still use this drive as a depot today. I honestly don't know why anyone would complain about the price unless they already had all these collections saved; If so, just don't buy it.
I noticed you have a lot of mushrooms growing in your mom's basement. I'm no expert, but have you considered letting in some sunlight and using a dehumidifier? Then again, those mushrooms are kind of cute.
I think people just realize that this CAN be made by one's self, and that it would be relatively simple, so they complain without actually thinking through what would really be involved. I just get that kind of complaint often so I wanted to address it in the actual video rather than explain it in every comment 😅
The mushrooms are my friends. They show me truth.
I've seen people build custom arcade cabinets. I would love to build one and throw this in there.
Oh man this would be a PERFECT drive for an arcade cab!
You could certainly have a lot of games work on arcade controls.
Thats excactly what I want to do. Home made cabinet, Mini PC (Minisforum UM780 XTX + this Kinhank Hyperspin 12TB. I just worry that an external HDD like this has slow transferspeed to the Mini PC for Emulation the newer systems (PS3 and so on??)...AND it looks like it only comes with US power plug?? I live in EU/Denmark, can I do something regarding the power plug, I really don't know about PCs and powerplugs (sorry) @@TechDweeb
Looks amazing is there any system you recommend to play from a TV playing retro games on a 60' TV would be awesome
Someone needs to try this and move the whole drive in one of the newer windows handhelds. Would love to see that video for sure!
Here I am sitting at my desk debating if I buy a RG35XX H or a RGB30, or just get Retroarch setup on my Mac - And then THIS comes along. Hot damn.
RG35XX H
@@DonPatro92Why is that your pick?
if you have a MAC you cannot consider this drive, its just for windows!
I got mine in the mail today the same day you release this video. I was so stoked! however so far I have had nothing but trouble with it. I've been stuck and can't close the game and the first game I tried Killer Instinct didn't work for me. I have to admit I'm not computer literate so it's probably me .I will try and reinstall later.
How's the drive working out for you now? :(
better I'm getting used to it@@stephenedwards9341
Hello TechDweeb, started watching you of janurary last year, your videos helped me so much. I bought the nucbox m5, you think if I bought this emulation drive I could at least run Ps3? Might not get the best performance but was wondering since the nuckbox comes in wednesday.
Here's a video of a Mini PC with the same processor as the M5, and I show emulation in this video, which should be similar on the M5: th-cam.com/video/dNgYst0PumM/w-d-xo.html
PS3 is playable, but you won't get perfect performance in every game.
Thanks man I got one myself it’s worth it for sure.
For me I do prefer to set it up myself, but I do see the the positives even for $300 if they they are using a new hard drive (and not a renewed one). Most ISPs have a stupid data cap (from 1-2TB per month) so those people will have to wait between 6-12 months to complete it the old fashioned way. It's basically a extra $50 premium to not deal with the setup and wait time to fill up the whole drive. For me I set mine up to make sure all the ROMs are in english (originally or patched), or games that don't need me to learn another language to play.
However with that said those cracked games may have pitfalls like viruses, because you don't know who's cracks they're using nor where the got them. Also if someone has Steam turned on (even if it's running in the background) when they start one of those cracked games you could get your Steam account banned (or worse). Even though they are cracked most use a phony Steam ID that'll alert the Steam Guard your using a pirated game if Steam is running. That is why if they buy one they need to either make sure Steam is not running, or just delete those pirated games. Oh and scan the drive for viruses when you get it plugged in for the first time..
The drive I linked when discussing the price was a renewed drive. I don't doubt that they're renewed, I personally buy renewed drives all the time, never had an issue.
I did a virus scan. It's clean. I've never heard of a steam acct getting banned for playing cracked games! Is that a real thing?
@@TechDweeb It depends on the crack, but I have seen my fair share of people that got banned over the years. There are some in the cracking community that do a good job to prevent it, and those that do not. It's best though to ALWAYS be cautious especially since these drives do come from China even if they're sold on Amazon.
Dude, I have this and I only use this for the Roms and it’s awesome
Amazon review says it has hidden Trojans and viruses on it, only after scanning. Did your computer find anything?
@@DJ88Masterchief I use this on a separate computer not my every day purpose computer I use it on a mini pc
@@DJ88Masterchief whatever you do, do not use it on a computer that you use all the time just on a computer that you don’t care about
i am so tempted to buy this...
I have one of these and absolutely love it!! The only down side I found is the Switch games. No matter what I do or try I cannot get the controls to work for any Switch games. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong here?? Thanks and great video.
Awesome! I would have to delete the higher end systems from the xml. Less to look at because my baby pc couldn’t handle. But the value is insane here to me. Thanks for review!
Good call!
wth would you need to delete!!!? youre paying for it!!!??? It comes with it!!??? surely just ignore!!!!???? erm its like buying 96tb HDD worth of games and saying i need the 96TB hdd space and deleting ALL of it!!?? surely you go into the RA and turn off the systems you dont want to view? well dont let me tell you how to use your 96tb though lol... wonder how much 96tb costs lol and what HDD are they if theyre mechanical youre gonna have trouble backing it all up and keeping it safe!!!?? Are these things SSDs!???
@@antwango that’s not deleting them. That’s just removing them from the hyperspin list. Games would still be on hard drive.
Its the computer thing thats my problem. I have a basic computer....not meant for gaming. This looks cool to get but it should have been a quick connect to your tv with a HDMI cable
Seems like a great option. Not sure of the legality but i'm interested ahahaha. Hopefully I could copy over just a couple systems onto a smaller drive too, maybe keep a big "master" drive on my gaming pc
That's how I intend to use it. This'll be my master rom collection. And I can use this to add games to all my devices in the future.
The thing you mentioned about y button adding favorites. Is that using the keyboard, the controller, or both? And boosting your resolution. Do i have to with a 1080p monitor? Prince of Persia for example had pixelated light. do i need to tweek these settings and is L3+R3 the way to do it? Any front end graphics settings?
This is insane. I love it❤.
Cool video TechDweeb! I really enjoy your videos! The description in Amazon says you have to install some plug-ins but wasn't mentioned in the video. What are the plug-ins that need to be installed? Just wondering if there's more setup involved to get it running.
you have to install 4 things, they are included in the hardrive and it comes with step by step instrucctions on how to install it, it's very simple
I think it's pretty great! Question: How does one play Wii games on these? You will obviously need some sort of sensor bar for the controllers, no?
They are set to play with controller (you can see in Mario Galaxy I was using the right stick as my wiimote pointer). You CAN use the official controller and USB sensor bar though if you have them.
@@TechDweeb Thanks so much for the reply, I appreciate it! I did download a front end with emulators and roms similar to this but much, much smaller. It has WII so I was curious about how to play it. Many thanks!
From your options of Mini PC’s, which would you suggest to purchase in order to play the higher end games without issue?
Just ordered my own one of these. I have a pretty big collection of games (about 1.5TB) but for £140 including shipping you can't really beat 12tb. As I'm addicted to retro handhelds too this is going to be my main collection drive to pull games from. Thanks for the video as I had no idea these things existed!
I bought a 20tb but could expand if the games i want are not on the drive i hope brute force is on the xbox emulator tho underrated
To play Xbox 360 from that built, what mini PC can I use? Awesome drive. Thanks!
If you want higher end stuff like xbox 360 you'll want a Ryzen 7000 series Mini PC. I just found this one on sale at a great price but there's only 1 left in stock: amzn.to/3S3vtS9
Look for something with a 7840HS or similar 7000 APU if you want high end stuff.
Great review, does it have teknoparrot and good selection of light gun games
Yup! 85 Teknoparrot games and 312 Light gun games. And the Teknoparrot works fine, I just tested it for ya :)
Great thank you@@TechDweeb
@@TechDweeb Sweet! Do the Light Gun games have their own 'category,' or do you have to search all over the drive to find them all? lol
Thanks for this vid. Next pay, this will be my new toy for sure. I have a pc setup for retro gaming and this will be so much better than the lowly 120gb ssd I have in it loaded with a few mame games. I'll have to replace the Radeon 5850 that's in it for the RTX 2060 I have sitting spare in a box though so that I can play some of the later games. Plus the discount will more than cover the shipping here to Australia so that's awesome.
Nice! The 2060 should be able to handle all this stuff no prob. Enjoy your toy :D
@@TechDweeb I shall indeed.
I've been looking for someway to set up and play retro games in a large quantity I'm glad I came across this video, surely gonna cure my retro itch!.
Haha nice
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..
That's awesome, glad it worked out for you and thanks for sharing your experience!
Hey I got mine a few days ago and me and my dad were amazed by the collection we had some fun but...... I was messing around with the DS games and I realize I couldn't play them so I extracted the files with winrar instead of seven zip and now I have an error message that I don't know how to fix please help please help please help😢
Realized😢
The error messages for all things by the way not just the DS games please help
@@user-vb8ln5st3z The DS games worked on my setup and should have on yours so this is odd. However since you extracted the files they will not load unless you make changes to the emulator settings and or hyper spin itself. Ideally anything you alter you should make a copy of just in case as you can’t go back once you alter the files. You can try converting back to rar files? It hard to know what’s going on unless I can literally see the setup. These setups are extremely complex so if you’re not familiar with emulation and hyper spin stuff you should never attempt alter anything as literally one missing file can break the entire setup. Good luck bro ..
Brother …
Would love it even more if you could just plug it in your TV like a console.
That's what Mini PCs are for! Of course that adds to the cost, but you can get some really good Mini PCs at a solid price.
@@TechDweeb yeah I guess, but sell me a mini PC with this already set up on it 😅
Amazing. I hope someone loads these files up to one place.
OMG that would be a month-long download for me 😅
Brill review again... just a quickie, I have a batocera build that's great and wii games actually play well on a switch wired pad... do the wii games do the same on this hyperspin build and just work out of the box with a wired pad?
I would be curious if you could put this drive into a NAS and have it accessible from multiple computers... would be interesting to just have all of this network accessible.
Don't see why you couldn't do that!
You will be able to do that.
Soo, every single game from 1980s to 2020 im sold 💯. This is a crazy good deal. The time to compile all this is 100s of hours.
Agreed.
Oh I should mention it's not every game up to 2020. Once you reach the PS2 era it doesn't have complete rom sets. Just 'best of' sets.
@@TechDweeb oh i was embellishing a bit but sounds like a 100 hours of sorting and downloading. I already order one i always fear the internet might turn off one day lol.
It's currently sold out on Amazon...everyone must have watched your video!

which a.i. software did you use to generate the voice? That is the PERFECT voice for these type of videos

Here I am, a retro newbie, who is still learning how to do all the rom stuff including getting them without getting malware included with them---it's daunting and to be honest quite a bit off-putting to me. This is what I need, and this is what I'll get. Thanks so much for the review, this is what a ton of us need to really get the most out of the retro players I already have and will buy in future 👍
Awesome, glad it helped you out!
Are there good ROMs and bad ones? Just curious because I’ve had a few that play different (old ones vs newer ones).
Not sure what you mean. All the rom files are good here. I tried a ton and didn't find any that were problematic.
@@TechDweeb Several years ago, when we first started collecting ROMs as backups to our physical games, some were not good and didn’t play as crisply as the original game. I don’t know what was wrong with them from a technical standpoint. Probably most new’er ROMs are fine but I wanted to ask.
@warpathh it was an issue with the emulation itself. Some games are just tougher to get running properly.
On Aliexpress I see several people complaining about quite a bit of games not launching. Including tecnoparrot not working at all. Technoparrot can be fixed by some update though it says). Could it be that the actual products sometimes are in worse condition than the review samples out there? Not pointing fingers, just wondering@@TechDweeb
@@warpathh you need a good enough pc or laptop. At least a decent rtx gpu and Ryzen intel cpu combo. That can run all the older stuff Nintendo cemu and maybe some ps3 and Xbox 360 games. I have i7 12700h 3060 and run Nintendo games on yuzu just fine. And cemu and xenia with red dead redemption. That runs 30 to 60fps depends on the area. Oh yeah btw that is a laptop. I can even workaround playing ps4 console on laptop with a capture card. Its pretty neat. I don't need to carry a monitor for the ps4. My co worker jokingly sad I have a whole playground in my room 😂.
Hi Techdweeb! Thanks for this, quick question, what mini PC would handle everything this emulator has to offer? I am referring to the higher-end games on the emulator as I want to set this up to played from my sofa.
a beelink ser 7, or a minis forum um780 xtx (the minis forum is the best right now)...with the minis forum you will be able to play even most of the AAA title in fullHD MEDIUM/LOW quality.
Thanks for video. One question. what about retroachievements? Does it work well? Is it necessary to change cores if I want to use retroachievements on Hyperspin?
Question: How difficult is it to export the ROM files from this drive?
I cannot be the only one curious. Because, if it’s easy enough, I’ll be placing my affiliate linked Amazon order for one TODAY. 😊
It's VERY easy to do! The roms are in the Arcade/Collections/ directory, there is a folder for each system, and all the rom files are in there and easily accessible.
@@TechDweeb OH! So easier to access than the Kinhank 2TB Batocera drive I purchased a couple years ago? If you know that process, then you know exactly why I asked my original question.
@@mvanalst2003 Since they have it set up to use on Windows the drive partition will be in NTFS so explorer will have no issues accessing it. The Batocera drive is partitioned in EXT4 which can not be accessed in Windows due to Microsoft refusing to add EXT4 or any other Unix/Linux file types (though you can add some types like EXT1-3 via 3rd party software).
@@ramy8700 I guess I’ll see. I ordered one yesterday. I can try to reply back with my thoughts, if you’d like.
Any difference in drives? Amazon says 40k games and Kinhank says 100k?
in toTal are 102000, you gonna get 40000 3D games, and other 60000 2D games!!!!!
Epic! Can you easily locate the ROM files in this drive? And use them on other devices / handhelds? 🙏🏻
Yup!
$300 USD for a brilliantly curated collection is totally worth it. I kind of want to get this just to have as an archive.
That's my favourite part about it. Just as a good archive with well done rom sets.
That is why i got it gonna go through and post everything it before they get a dmca lol. Looks like the craziest collection ever . hopefully they get a lot out all over the world.then generations later people will still be playing these all over the world.
@@X862go that's why I'm getting mine too. To have so many generations of games in my collection is a dream come true. Plus, it'll be great to have them all cataloged.
"You can play games on your keyboard but only monsters do that.." 🤣🤣🤣
And I thought I couldn't love you more❤️
One day I'll build my own Retro Arcade with one of these awesome mini computers and this thing! Thanks a lot for the review.
PS: I'd love a video about the best attachable bluetooth gamepads for android phones and tablets/foldables.
Good suggestion for a vid, TY!
@TechDweeb Hi thank you for making this video, this drive seems incredible and the value seems unbeatable. By chance are you familiar with the GPD win mini portable pc? I ask because I am about to order one of those with a 7840 chip and 64gb ram on windows 11 and I was wondering if you knew if that would work well to handle most of the systems and games on this drive? Or if I would be better off sticking to like the 4tb drive or the 1tb portable pc sd card from kriscoolmod?
Yeah I think the 7840 chip should be able to handle most of the stuff on here. Even ps3 should be no problem. You can definitely be totally happy with the 5tb drive I linked in the description, this one just has more full collections of the highest end stuff like Gamecube and Dreamcast, and also higher end stuff like PS3 and Xbox 360, and of course those PC games.
Awesome!! Thank you for the quick response! Whichever drive I decide to go with, I can theoretically copy the frontend software and whichever roms I want from either the 12tb or 5tb drive onto a 1tb sd card for use on the go also right? I believe you mentioned in the video that the harddrive has great value for you even just for copying the rom collection, but I wanted to make sure I could also copy the software to make it all look nice like this presentation too. @@TechDweeb
Thank you tech dweeb great video! I'm going to buy this with my next check. Wondering, will these roms work if I copy them to either my Android retroid 2s or my Linux PowKiddy RGB30? Via microSD?
Hey buddy! Yeah definitely, you can easily copy the roms of this thing onto any device. I did exactly this yesterday, I have a new handheld to set up, so I can just grab the rom libraries off this to add to the new thing. Very nice to have so many games (including all the high end stuff) and not have to be constantly downloading new stuff when you want to test it on your devices.
Are you able to take the drive out of the case? or is it sealed?
Yup! 13:00. It's a Seagate enterprise ST12000NM0127.
I just want to let people know you can play all these games at a higher framerate with no mods using Lossless Scaling from Steam. It let's you play games like Mario 64 at 60 fps. It's frame gen on any graphics card. Your welcome
How do you compare this one to the hyper base 5tb drive? Which one would you recommend? Thanks pal!
I had this same idea back in 2006 when hyperspin was in development i actually made about of the boxs and name art for a lot of the games/ systems back then . I made alot of video intros as well for the gamecube .
As a person who has no time to download every single game due to work commitments, yeah I am all in for this harddrive solely for the complete sets of games for GameCube, DS, 3DS & other retro systems. I shall keep this one as a master drive & copy games that I will eventually play into smaller SSDs.
That's exactly how I'm planning on using it. This is my new master collection. I needed a giant drive for emulation backup anyways so this is like a short cut :P. Although I plan on deleting the PC games and adding more PS3 stuff.
@TechDweeb do you make a backup of this drive? If so, how?
Choosing what to play in this must be a nightmare😂
Haha you're not wrong!
This drive looks awesome, is it locked down or can you easily use file explorer to transfer roms and emulator / BIOS files to handheld devices? That would make this a must have for ease of getting everything out there.
yes you can transfer anything! However, to get it to show up in the hyperspin program wheel is a pain in the ass. You can launch the emulators from windows explorer no problem to play games that don't show up in the wheel. it comes with like 250 GB of free space. so you can add games that are not stored in there.
great video TechDweeb, nice peice of kit, what's the deal this would be a backlog from hell, like the X-Wife of backlogs. Being a member of Arcade Punks, we do this build, almost, old Prime and his circle are also very steeply in the Hyperspin lore, this beats their prices by almost half. say hi to Mom
Haha, backlog from hell indeed!
@@TechDweeb
This look cool, but it’s hard to get it in the UK I think
Maybe you can get it directly through the manufacturer website? www.kinhank-retrogame.com/products/hyperspin-attraction-system-12tb-hdd
I know exactly what you mean. Mainstream marketplaces like Amazon tend to crack down more on any emulation gear with any games included with it, in the UK and EU. Often you will see the product come up for a few days and then it'll either have the "No longer available" tag on the product or it's taken off the marketplace and listings altogether. Ebay and AliExpress tend to be better, but there's also a hell of a lot of fake stuff and rip off merchants on them.
Thanks for your help
And I have one more question, does the hard drive what I have seen comes with a power plug and just wondering is that necessary or does it come in different plugs?
