Hi everyone, thanks for the awesome feedback, and just to clarify, yes I'm aware that Android TV boxes are also a great option. I have three of them coming in the mail and will do videos on them in the future! This video is meant for those who simply want to unbox and plug a fully-featured solution directly into their TV with zero fuss. I should have been clearer in my video about that :)
I’m curious about the AV port. I have an older CRT that I keep specifically for light gun games. I’d like to see how this would handle those games, especially since it has this feature native. I’m guessing that port refreshes like a CRT and not via scan lines (which is what stops light gun games from working on modern TVs. Is this something you can try out? Maybe just confirming how it behaves so I know it’ll work properly.
Russ, THANK YOU so much for doing this video! I really appreciate that you listen to your subs! I would truly enjoy your expert touch on upgrading the system, if you feel it needs it, like you did for some of the retro handhelds!
@@RetroGameCorps be aware that there are a LOT of counterfeit San Disk cards out there, and that it’s highly unlikely they would include a genuine one with a device like this. But, maybe you got lucky!
Well I hope it's genuine. Then again if it has the advertised capacity then there's a good chance that it's genuine. Most fake cards have just a fraction of their advertised capacity.
@@ronch550 I’m afraid that isn’t true, even SanDisk reports that around 1/3 of memory cards that are sold around the world are simply rebranded cards of inferior quality, produced by other manufacturers. Sometimes they also have less capacity, but not in most cases like you state.
Just an FYI that there is an audible noise in the background of this video I haven’t noticed in your other ones. Thanks for taking the time to produce this video.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. It's been getting hot in Hawaii and so I have been using a fan while doing some filming, and it adds noise to my recordings. I need to get better and using a noise gate and removing the "hum".
Im glad you did a review on this. I was debating between this and the pi4 and went with the pi instead. Im super excited to see how you feel about the raspberry pi 4. One thing is dreamcast emulation is fantastic. N64 is kinda difficult. Thanks Russ!
Hey Russ, great review again ;) I also ordered the Super Console X to review it on my channel, i‘m very excited about it. Seems like the best Ready-To-Go Retro console you can get for the money...and man, i love that mousepad on your desk ;D awesome!
I have one too and I can say it's a good purchase. Some games don't run properly but if you buy it you won't regret it specially for the Atomiswave, MAME, and Naomi games.
Nice review. This would definitely be a good option for people that just want to plug in a box and start retro-gaming. I'm putting together a similar box myself based on a jetson nano 2GB.
I'm thinking about getting one myself. Ive been around since the Atari 2600 days so I already know I would enjoy one of these that has every console that I grew up playing. Still have my OG Sega Genesis but only can find about 30 of the games I had for it, not sure where my other 20 or 30 games ended up after the last 30 years. Hope yall enjoy this gaming system, think I'm going to order one today after watching this
I ordered this back in January and it might be arriving as soon as tomorrow. This looks really impressive in terms of all the game it has. I wish it had ColecoVision games. But I agree the console itself does look really cheap and flimsy. Wish it looked more substantial. Thank for you mentioning the "confusing to buy" concern. 17:12. I think I ordered what I wanted, LOL.
Agree. I wish it had Colecovision as well. I tried to download some Coleco ROMS today and they wouldn't play on the Console so far. Also trying to figure out what controller(s) to add to replace what it comes with. But yeah, this system is great stuff right out of the box. I love having EVERY Atari 2600 game, and love the NES titles and Arcade classics. So fun!
@@TheDJM717 Mine just arrived this week. To be honest, I feel a bit lame complaining about ColecoVision games not being included given the insane number of games that ARE included. Games like Mr. Do and Donkey Kong are included. There's simply no way I'm going to be able to play most of these games anyway unless I live to 150. I'm still trying to figure how this thing works. There are tons of option settings. Many of the games seem to work just fine with the controllers that are included. But there are some games where nothing seems to happen on screen or the game just won't start. Very hard to play a game like Missile Command or Super Breakout. Overall, I'm pretty happy with this so far.
It's the second mousepad I've bought from the same Etsy seller, there are all kinds of options. Highly recommend! www.etsy.com/shop/DesignNoy?ref=search_shop_redirect§ion_id=8044876
I'm looking forward getting this soon, I already got a ps classic with 15000 games a SNES classic with 145 games, a retro gp430 with 15000 games also a entertainment system with 620 games. I also getting the super console PC later on, these clones worth your money.
I am glad you confirmed that you can hook up your personal controller to it, for me that is a plus as i do have the 8bitdo dongle and i can hook up my fav controllers.
Hi Russ this plug&play console considered its price could be a nice purchase. Different project is work on Raspberry or something similar. Your videos are always interesting and well made!!! Go on this way!!!
Has it got Samurai Shodown on it? Haven't played that game in 25 years and it would be great if it's on there, used to be on the Neo Geo. I've ordered my Super Console X. Should be here in a week.
Also, search amazon or ebay for any set top box and search for s905x3 and get a 4g ram model. Emuelec can be flashed to an SD and boot to it. Easy and cheap. Use the extra money you saved and buy the 8bit do
Amazon has this is their DC's now via Fullfillment centers, if you're a Prime member you can get it ASAP. I work for a company that sells repair products to Amazon, they usually don't just put anything and everything into their Warehouse System.. this must be a decent product!
Moi j'ai le nvidia shield TV fonctionne parfaitement avec retroarch 180 et dig regarde mes vidéo après c'est sur j'ai passé énormément de temps dans les réglages afin d'obtenir le meilleur résultat
Check out Sonic Love, he has a contact at powkiddy and has done a few videos showing emulation using a tablet running the same specs the new x18s has, if it's the same we are all in for a treat.
Haha, very nice! My speakers are definitely overkill but they sound great. And I have plans to put my OWC hard drive enclosure below my desk, but just haven't gotten around to it.
Great video as always :) I have a Pi 4 with a Nespi 4 case. I want a handpicked game selection, custom scraping media and texts, theme adjustments... Configuring all that is so time consuming. Since I already have the Pi here I can't get myself to buy another console. What I also dislike is that they don't offer a cheaper version without controllers and that you have to use a bluetooth dongle since they don't have it built in. But I agree, both the price and the plug and play aspect are great with this device.
This is an tv box with Amlogic s905w with an image created by a Brazilian guy named Galisteo. I agree, u can buy this product and enjoy asap, but if u buy a tvbox with s905x3, for example, u can flash an micro SD with a lot of nice images avaliable in internet (look at galisteo channel) and have a better performance spending less money. Nice video.
@@spencelatouche8758 u can search in Google or TH-cam. Theres some with emuelec 4 already, and for s905x4. U can get a clear image from emuelec github page and install ur own game packs too.
Great video, and confirms a lot of what I think about this console. For the money, it's an amazing system. I'm having just a couple of issues/questions. One is dealing with the cheap controllers the system came with. The controller you added looks great, but what if I want to play a game like PacMan on the MAME library, Or Missile Command on the MAME library? I'm trying to figure out which joystick to buy for arcade games, and if it might be possible to use a trackball with Missile Command or Centipede or Tempest (does that use a spinning control?)... The other issue I have is that I can't seem to find a compatible download of ColecoVision games and I was somewhat disappointed that they didn't come preloaded. Other than that, this system rocks. The gameplay has been solid, the interface is nice, and it's an amazing value. Thanks for the video!
*Will you please answer some important questions I have about Super Console X:* 1) Can you remove the images on the sides of the screen and just have black borders? 2) How do game saves work? (Save states? In game saves? SD Card?) 3) Can you use any USB controller or just what's included? (I think this was answered.) (I'm ordering one of these, so I hope it lives up to the hype...)
1. You can certainly remove the borders. 2. Saves are done via in-game saves and/or save states, the software will let you do both. 3. You should probably be able to use most USB controllers, there may be some that don't work but the vast majority should.
Nice to see from your chanel a positive review about scx i am waiting for mine to arrive and watching your video it makes me happy with my purchase. I order the 128gb version for 75 euro witch is a good value for what this console offers also watching the zelda ocarinas time running so smooth makes me even more happy. If you have the time i would like to see n64 golden eye performance. Watching many youtubers being happy with that console it satisfine me i feel i did a good purchase. About your review once again a perfect one with your honest opinion as always gg👍 Oh btw i dident know that there is a way to play with your ps4 controler nice to see that. I cant wait to recive mine asap.😁
My Super Console X arrived yesterday and wow! it's pretty much as advertised. Very easy to set up and to start playing but I'm having two issues: 1) How do you jump back to the main menu after playing a game? I mean this one here at 5:15 2) I can't seem to get both controllers to work at the same time for two player games. They both work for single player mode. Am I supposed to do something with the controller settings to recognize the second controller?
I bought this based on this review you made. Thank you so much for making it, it answered almost every question I had. I am Not disappointed. However my menus don't look like yours. AND, when I do get anything of good looking menu, I have no boxes or videos for SNES, or NES... It's annoying as hell. How would I swap it to look exactly like yours? Also, any way to get Coleco Vision put on this?
Have you looked into or researched emulation on Wii U? Seems like the best of every world since it has the gamepad and can do everything that this can do + GameCube / Wii and Wii U. I got mine for $100 used.
Yeah I think I'm getting this. I like that it's just simple plug and play. If it allows me to play Zelda OoT, Zelda MM and a bunch of other N64 games with a N64(usb) controller on my 4K TV I'll be a very happy man already. Does it also have Majora's Mask on it?
@@ghostofpambo6266 I haven't tried it but putting the fan underneath has worked fine because the air flows through some holes that the console has in the bottom. Check in Amazon and search for mini fan for tv box. They're cheap
I just wish theyd make a COINOPS NEXT machine. I have yet to find a perfect system. I dont wanna keep buying and buying. THis may be the one for me though. I dont wanna spend half the price of a PS5 on RetroPie system.
On a dark night, somewhere in a dark alley between the crowded buildings in New York City, two men dressed in trench coats, hats, and ski masks to conceal their identities, meet in secret. "Did you bring the package?" "Yes. Where's the money?" "How much? $65, isn't it?" "Yes. Now show me the money." "Here you go. You sure this has Emuelec 3.9? How many games? You'd better not have a cheap generic microSD card in here or the boys will be paying you a visit." "It's a genuine Huawei 128GB microSD card from Aliexpress, don't worry. About 40,000+ games. And I don't like your stupid threats. Just use Win32 Disk Imager to clone the microSD anyway, for Pete's sake." "Who's Pete?? Ah nevermind! This better be good or you's in trouble, boy! Now let's go before they see us!" Going their separate ways after this secret, shady transaction, they don't even wave farewell, their identities forever remaining a mystery.
I keep going back and forth on whether or not to upgrade to a Pi4, picking up this or getting a Android TV box and installing Emulec. I’m at point I’m tired of downloading images for a Pi and configuring this and that. I spend more tweaking things that I don’t get to play. Recently picked up a AtGames Legends Pro because I was seeing all the great things people were saying about it. The reality is it’s buggy, they send out updates that screw things up and don’t address bigger issues like 3rd party controller support like they advertise. The build quality was good but the platform is a hot mess. The social media (TH-cam and Facebook) community pushing on how great it is it must be getting some kickback from AtGames.
I'm waiting for this to come in the mail I just ordered it from Amazon for 79 bucks, thank you for your review. I heard you mentioned that you made another video about how to change some of the settings to get the most out of the games, do you think you could link me the video on your channel cuz I can't seem to find it...? 🤔. Thank you in advance.
Yes, it's pretty neat, and I like the four USB ports at the front. I reviewed that device as well, but it came out after this one (and this video), which is why I didn't mention it here.
Since this is running emuelec. Could you theoretically share the SD card with other Emulec handheld devices with 2 sd card slots? I dont mean running the actual OS, I'm thinking about sharing my game library and save states. It would be amazing if I could play on my tv, then just chuck the sd card in a handheld and continue my progress. I'm trying to remember if any of the emuelec handhelds actually have 2 sd slots though...
Mine took like 2 and a half months to arrive. Box was kind of beaten up but nothing too bad. The controllers had something rattling inside sobi thought they were both broken. But it turns out it was just the usb stick in the battery compartment. I don't think it was clear the controllers needed 3 triple a batteries to operate. Its okay I guess I can always buy rechargle ones
Great review thank you and found the 8bit do controller receiver. I’m seriously considering this been gaming since NES and missing some classics and love the plug and play function. I looked up how to put my series X on dev mode and try retro gaming on that but I don’t feel comfortable doing it. 🤷♂️ what do you think. Thank you so much again.
Hi Russ, First of all,I love your video's and bought a rg351p and a super console x because of them😁 A quick question about the super console x... I got a message that there is an update for Emuelec,it runs on 3.9 now...the update is 4.1 I think... Is it wise to update,or does the box run better on version 3.9.. I thought you said something about the 1gb ram isn't up to it? Thanks in advance for your answer. Keep up the great vids! Cheers Ed.
Hi Ed, I wouldn’t recommend you upgrade, like you mentioned the 1GB of ram makes the interface and games feel a bit more sluggish in 4.0 and beyond - it really needs 2GB of ram to work properly. Also, the 3.9 you have has optimized emulators for the device, so you’ll get the best performance by sticking with the firmware already installed on the device.
Thank you Russ,for your quick answer. Good to know,I almost clicked the update,but then I remembered something you said about the ram...so had to check it with you,glad I didn't click it 😁.... Cheers!!👍🏻
Thanks for a great thorough video. I have one question about the device. I REALLY want to play the Neo Geo game Hook. With Peter Pan, or other characters from the movie, running around in a sidescrolling beat em up game. Does it run on this console, and is it included? I haven't been able to find any machine that can play it properly.
It has a heatsink already glued onto the CPU, but no other cooling. This chipset is rather low powered, it gets warm after use but I wouldn't say it gets "hot". Hope that helps!
Thanks for the great reviews! I picked up the Pro after watching your video on that one, and also the 8bit Do SN-30Pro controllers. When I go to configure the controllers, I can’t get it to recognize the thumb sticks. Did you have any trouble with that? Would you mind sharing how you set up your 8bit controller to work on the Super Console X? Thanks again!
This is one of the best video's out there for the Super Console X. Can you tell me where i can find iut hiw to save the GBA Video settings and a guide to set the GB up like this video please?
Hi, thanks for watching! To save the GBA settings, be sure to adjust the Game Ratio in the EmulationStation settings, that will save them for you. This will show you how to set up the GB settings: th-cam.com/video/xY6pbbFwFB8/w-d-xo.html
So this is interesting, but for a TV environment I'm fine using my home PC. Is it overkill? Yes, but consider this: CRT shaders! And highly accurate emulators, like Higan for SNES! I don't think an emulation box can handle those.
In middle of Tring to configure dig on android box to get something similar was attempting emuele but couldn't figure out device tree and image to use on my box so changed direction but if had noticed this before hand I may have just done this
In which file format is the micro SD card formatted FAT32 or NTFS. How many GB on the 128GB SD-Card in total is already occupied by the operating system, emulators, etc. and ROMs, because the real size of micro SD cards from different manufacturers is different. If you also want to pack Roms, you can definitely take a bigger 256 GB card straight away. Which cards of which manufacturer are recognized by the SCX?Thanks.
Nice review. How many GB is on the 128GB Card free to add own roms? Can I put a image of the 128GB card on a 256GB SD-Card to load more own roms of the SCX? THX.
Please, a video on how to get ColecoVision games on the Super Console x. Where to put the bios. How to use the emulator to access the keypad for the games. Coleco is always forgotten. I’ve tried to load roms, but I’m doing something wrong. I can’t find the info any where. Thanks.
I'd love to grab one of these, but I much prefer wired controllers. I did a few Google searches but couldn't find anything definitive as to whether it can be done.
nice vid dude. im curious whether the sdcard is combination with the OS+rom or only occupied with rom files. so we can test different OS by swapping sdcard , even use it as android tv box since the chipset in this device is commonly use for entry level android tv box..
Apparently the device already has android on it. If you take out the card and turn it on it will boot to Android. I think the sd card has the emulator emuelec + roms on it. I believe Emuelec is basically a cutdown version of linux + various emulators. So other OSs should work too. (But I don't own the unit, so I didn't test it).
Hi everyone, thanks for the awesome feedback, and just to clarify, yes I'm aware that Android TV boxes are also a great option.

Good review. The key is "minimal effort" and "plug and play". It seems someone finally got it.
Yes, exactly. Not ideal for tinkerers, but a great solution for anyone who doesn't want to fiddle with settings.
Among so many videos about this console this video helped a lot. I managed to change default low resolution on N64 thanks to your guidance.
Just an FYI that there is an audible noise in the background of this video I haven’t noticed in your other ones. Thanks for taking the time to produce this video.

I'm not smart enough too buy parts and build from scratch, so i own this item and i have no complaints 👌👍✌😊.
You are not alone.
Hey man you're more than smart enough to build something like this from scratch
@Tom Snoodle you ain't gotta get em like that 💀💀
I just don't have the tools and too old to care enough to put in the effort these days.
Man it's so easy a caveman can do it.
Solid review. The device looks excellent. If I wanted such an emulation device like that I would totally choose this one.
Thanks for this amazing review! I've seen this before, and all of it looks AMAZING! love how you can change the title menus.
I purchased one for the same reasons. I’m really digging the old school Atari games !
I am shouting you out tonight at 830 pm pacific for your awesome Super Console X Review! My first premier!

I have had my eye on this for a while, I'm gonna wait for the Powkiddy x18s.
It's neat for what it does, I hope that the PowKiddy x18s is as great as it appears to be!
I haven't seen that Powkiddy but if it has Atomiswave, Naomi, Dreamcast and PSP games go for it. If no Superconsole X can give you all those games.

Cheaper to make your own Emuelec box with a 905W chip
Holy Crap our desktop setups are nearly identical! I have different components, its how it's physically set up. Great minds...

But I agree, both the price and the plug and play aspect are great with this device.
This is an tv box with Amlogic s905w with an image created by a Brazilian guy named Galisteo. I agree, u can buy this product and enjoy asap, but if u buy a tvbox with s905x3, for example, u can flash an micro SD with a lot of nice images avaliable in internet (look at galisteo channel) and have a better performance spending less money.
Nice video.
The worst thing is the China guys got emuelec and galisteo hard work to sell things that the both offer for free. I really didn't like that.
@@forati I agree, I'm not a fan of these free software solutions being sold for profit.
Any other recommended images other than those by Galisteo?
@@spencelatouche8758 u can search in Google or TH-cam. Theres some with emuelec 4 already, and for s905x4. U can get a clear image from emuelec github page and install ur own game packs too.
Great video, and confirms a lot of what I think about this console. For the money, it's an amazing system. I'm having just a couple of issues/questions. One is dealing with the cheap controllers the system came with. The controller you added looks great, but what if I want to play a game like PacMan on the MAME library, Or Missile Command on the MAME library? I'm trying to figure out which joystick to buy for arcade games, and if it might be possible to use a trackball with Missile Command or Centipede or Tempest (does that use a spinning control?)... The other issue I have is that I can't seem to find a compatible download of ColecoVision games and I was somewhat disappointed that they didn't come preloaded. Other than that, this system rocks. The gameplay has been solid, the interface is nice, and it's an amazing value. Thanks for the video!
Excellent video I was on the fence until I watched this
*Will you please answer some important questions I have about Super Console X:*
1) Can you remove the images on the sides of the screen and just have black borders?
2) How do game saves work? (Save states? In game saves? SD Card?)
3) Can you use any USB controller or just what's included? (I think this was answered.)
(I'm ordering one of these, so I hope it lives up to the hype...)
1. You can certainly remove the borders. 2. Saves are done via in-game saves and/or save states, the software will let you do both. 3. You should probably be able to use most USB controllers, there may be some that don't work but the vast majority should.
@@RetroGameCorps Thanks for the info, it was very helpful.
Awesome! I’m buying it now
Fire TV stick works great for me for this application on a pinch. Otherwise I really don't like playing retro games on a big screen.
Yeah it's definitely an acquired taste, I like gaming on handhelds :)
Nice to see from your chanel a positive review about scx i am waiting for mine to arrive and watching your video it makes me happy with my purchase. I order the 128gb version for 75 euro witch is a good value for what this console offers also watching the zelda ocarinas time running so smooth makes me even more happy. If you have the time i would like to see n64 golden eye performance. Watching many youtubers being happy with that console it satisfine me i feel i did a good purchase. About your review once again a perfect one with your honest opinion as always gg👍 Oh btw i dident know that there is a way to play with your ps4 controler nice to see that. I cant wait to recive mine asap.😁
Hope you enjoy it when it arrives!
Thank you.🙏 one question with the 8bitdo adapter i can conect only one ps4 controler per time; or i can conect multiple ps4 controlers;
deffo going to buy one of these one day
My Super Console X arrived yesterday and wow! it's pretty much as advertised. Very easy to set up and to start playing but I'm having two issues: 1) How do you jump back to the main menu after playing a game? I mean this one here at 5:15
2) I can't seem to get both controllers to work at the same time for two player games. They both work for single player mode. Am I supposed to do something with the controller settings to recognize the second controller?
Thank you.
I bought this based on this review you made. Thank you so much for making it, it answered almost every question I had. I am Not disappointed. However my menus don't look like yours. AND, when I do get anything of good looking menu, I have no boxes or videos for SNES, or NES... It's annoying as hell.
How would I swap it to look exactly like yours?
Also, any way to get Coleco Vision put on this?
WOW, stumbled on the channel. new sub!
Have you looked into or researched emulation on Wii U? Seems like the best of every world since it has the gamepad and can do everything that this can do + GameCube / Wii and Wii U. I got mine for $100 used.
Looks badass
Skies of Arcadia, let's Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah I think I'm getting this. I like that it's just simple plug and play. If it allows me to play Zelda OoT, Zelda MM and a bunch of other N64 games with a N64(usb) controller on my 4K TV I'll be a very happy man already. Does it also have Majora's Mask on it?
There are other games that run fine in the Super Console X PSP emulator. For example FIFA Street, Virtual Tennis and Marvel The rise of the imperfects
I recommend you to buy a mini cooling fan to put it underneath the console because it heats up a little bit.
Does it make a difference if you put it on its side?
@@ghostofpambo6266 I haven't tried it but putting the fan underneath has worked fine because the air flows through some holes that the console has in the bottom. Check in Amazon and search for mini fan for tv box. They're cheap
@@manuelhernandez589 Thanks. I'll pick one up but I need the console first!
@@ghostofpambo6266 go for it. You won't regret it.
I just wish theyd make a COINOPS NEXT machine. I have yet to find a perfect system. I dont wanna keep buying and buying. THis may be the one for me though. I dont wanna spend half the price of a PS5 on RetroPie system.
Oh Boy, I was looking for a machine like this! Seems perfect for me.
Can I just drag&drop everything to a bigger SD Card or what should be done?
On a dark night, somewhere in a dark alley between the crowded buildings in New York City, two men dressed in trench coats, hats, and ski masks to conceal their identities, meet in secret.
"Did you bring the package?"
"Yes. Where's the money?"
"How much? $65, isn't it?"
"Yes. Now show me the money."
"Here you go. You sure this has Emuelec 3.9? How many games? You'd better not have a cheap generic microSD card in here or the boys will be paying you a visit."
"It's a genuine Huawei 128GB microSD card from Aliexpress, don't worry. About 40,000+ games. And I don't like your stupid threats. Just use Win32 Disk Imager to clone the microSD anyway, for Pete's sake."
"Who's Pete?? Ah nevermind! This better be good or you's in trouble, boy! Now let's go before they see us!"
Going their separate ways after this secret, shady transaction, they don't even wave farewell, their identities forever remaining a mystery.
Really cool little box. Is it possible to change the console art 'sidebars' to something else or are those permanent?
I keep going back and forth on whether or not to upgrade to a Pi4, picking up this or getting a Android TV box and installing Emulec. I’m at point I’m tired of downloading images for a Pi and configuring this and that. I spend more tweaking things that I don’t get to play. Recently picked up a AtGames Legends Pro because I was seeing all the great things people were saying about it. The reality is it’s buggy, they send out updates that screw things up and don’t address bigger issues like 3rd party controller support like they advertise. The build quality was good but the platform is a hot mess. The social media (TH-cam and Facebook) community pushing on how great it is it must be getting some kickback from AtGames.
0:45 I am seeing MMBN everywhere I need a new game immediately xD
did anyone else hear the dog collar at 1:36? LOL
Haha, sorry about that. I have two dogs in the house who are always jingling and jangling, so I didn't notice it was in the video!
I'm waiting for this to come in the mail I just ordered it from Amazon for 79 bucks, thank you for your review. I heard you mentioned that you made another video about how to change some of the settings to get the most out of the games, do you think you could link me the video on your channel cuz I can't seem to find it...? 🤔. Thank you in advance.
The Super Console X Cube is the same thing with a much cooler appearance looking similar to the NES.
Yes, it's pretty neat, and I like the four USB ports at the front. I reviewed that device as well, but it came out after this one (and this video), which is why I didn't mention it here.
Since this is running emuelec. Could you theoretically share the SD card with other Emulec handheld devices with 2 sd card slots?
I dont mean running the actual OS, I'm thinking about sharing my game library and save states.
It would be amazing if I could play on my tv, then just chuck the sd card in a handheld and continue my progress.
I'm trying to remember if any of the emuelec handhelds actually have 2 sd slots though...
Mine took like 2 and a half months to arrive. Box was kind of beaten up but nothing too bad. The controllers had something rattling inside sobi thought they were both broken. But it turns out it was just the usb stick in the battery compartment. I don't think it was clear the controllers needed 3 triple a batteries to operate. Its okay I guess I can always buy rechargle ones
Hi friend.
Excellent video, I loved it.👍
I would like to know if Soul Calibur from Dreamcast works well.
Great review thank you and found the 8bit do controller receiver. I’m seriously considering this been gaming since NES and missing some classics and love the plug and play function. I looked up how to put my series X on dev mode and try retro gaming on that but I don’t feel comfortable doing it. 🤷♂️ what do you think. Thank you so much again.
I think this is such a simple solution, it's definitely worth it. I would worry about messing with my Xbox too, if I had a Series X :D
Hi Russ,
First of all,I love your video's and bought a rg351p and a super console x because of them😁
A quick question about the super console x...
I got a message that there is an update for Emuelec,it runs on 3.9 now...the update is 4.1 I think...
Is it wise to update,or does the box run better on version 3.9..
I thought you said something about the 1gb ram isn't up to it?
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Keep up the great vids!
Cheers Ed.
Hi Ed, I wouldn’t recommend you upgrade, like you mentioned the 1GB of ram makes the interface and games feel a bit more sluggish in 4.0 and beyond - it really needs 2GB of ram to work properly. Also, the 3.9 you have has optimized emulators for the device, so you’ll get the best performance by sticking with the firmware already installed on the device.
Thank you Russ,for your quick answer.
Good to know,I almost clicked the update,but then I remembered something you said about the ram...so had to check it with you,glad I didn't click it 😁....
Cheers!!👍🏻
Thanks for a great thorough video. I have one question about the device.
I REALLY want to play the Neo Geo game Hook. With Peter Pan, or other characters from the movie, running around in a sidescrolling beat em up game. Does it run on this console, and is it included?
I haven't been able to find any machine that can play it properly.
Great review. My biggest concern is actually the cooling. I'm sure it's passive only, but does the unit get really hot after extensive play?
It has a heatsink already glued onto the CPU, but no other cooling. This chipset is rather low powered, it gets warm after use but I wouldn't say it gets "hot". Hope that helps!
Great video! Thanks! I love your keyboard! What is it?
It is a Keychron K2!
Thanks for the great reviews! I picked up the Pro after watching your video on that one, and also the 8bit Do SN-30Pro controllers. When I go to configure the controllers, I can’t get it to recognize the thumb sticks. Did you have any trouble with that? Would you mind sharing how you set up your 8bit controller to work on the Super Console X? Thanks again!
Hi Retro Game Corps, how did you manage to have live previews during the Snes listing? Other reviewers don't show previews. Great video by the way!
This is one of the best video's out there for the Super Console X. Can you tell me where i can find iut hiw to save the GBA Video settings and a guide to set the GB up like this video please?
Hi, thanks for watching! To save the GBA settings, be sure to adjust the Game Ratio in the EmulationStation settings, that will save them for you. This will show you how to set up the GB settings: th-cam.com/video/xY6pbbFwFB8/w-d-xo.html
KinHank is the maker of the console.. 6:10 ref . IE the KinHank Super Console X.
i bought one last year not impress with contoler so im going to get cord p3 contoler
I soon have mine. But, can you make a video to show us how to backup the ssd card?
So this is interesting, but for a TV environment I'm fine using my home PC. Is it overkill? Yes, but consider this: CRT shaders! And highly accurate emulators, like Higan for SNES! I don't think an emulation box can handle those.
Oh yeah, that's a great setup.
Great Vid....it needs a proper breakdown vid tho...is the 1 gb ram expandable???
The 1GB is not expandable, unfortunately. I think Wicked Gamer did a teardown, if you want to see it in action.
@@RetroGameCorps Thanks !, too bad about the ram, this sounds almost perfect!
In middle of Tring to configure dig on android box to get something similar was attempting emuele but couldn't figure out device tree and image to use on my box so changed direction but if had noticed this before hand I may have just done this
In which file format is the micro SD card formatted FAT32 or NTFS.
How many GB on the 128GB SD-Card in total is already occupied by the operating system, emulators, etc. and ROMs, because the real size of micro SD cards from different manufacturers is different.
If you also want to pack Roms, you can definitely take a bigger 256 GB card straight away.
Which cards of which manufacturer are recognized by the SCX?Thanks.
Looks awesome 👏 Has it got River Raid on the Atari selection ?
Yes results for "dump it"
Nice review.
How many GB is on the 128GB Card free to add own roms?
Can I put a image of the 128GB card on a 256GB SD-Card
to load more own roms of the SCX? THX.
Aliexpress has these $30 or$40ish, but for some reason Ebay sellers want about double.
Looks Nice How Big are The Gigs?
Please, a video on how to get ColecoVision games on the Super Console x. Where to put the bios. How to use the emulator to access the keypad for the games. Coleco is always forgotten. I’ve tried to load roms, but I’m doing something wrong. I can’t find the info any where. Thanks.
It runs Emuelec by the looks of things. Check out the details of that emulator.
But can the bessels be turned off? I would prefer just black bars personally.
this box looks good value
I'd love to grab one of these, but I much prefer wired controllers. I did a few Google searches but couldn't find anything definitive as to whether it can be done.
Yes, any OTG wired controller will work fine with this device.
nice vid dude. im curious whether the sdcard is combination with the OS+rom or only occupied with rom files. so we can test different OS by swapping sdcard , even use it as android tv box since the chipset in this device is commonly use for entry level android tv box..
Apparently the device already has android on it. If you take out the card and turn it on it will boot to Android. I think the sd card has the emulator emuelec + roms on it. I believe Emuelec is basically a cutdown version of linux + various emulators. So other OSs should work too. (But I don't own the unit, so I didn't test it).
Where did you download the theme @ 5:35 it looks awesome my kid would love to have it on the tv screen
