Your right Us/We at Batocera do not like these, and they are against the terms of our open-source software license as they charge money for many many projects that we include that outright say they cannot be used like that.
Lol remember the old racing games? On a ps2 controller x was go and square was breaking. They didn’t start using the triggers till ps3 Burn out 3 was my favorite for a long time and I still love it.
He made a good point about how it's not really good for the average consumer ( having to go into the Bios etc), but yeah if he made a video of it running on a cheap PC and it ran well then I would definitely say he did the opposite of what he set out to do. As of right now he just made it look good, but it is all stolen software that exists already by itself, so the running well as he stated may have been more to his computer then the product lol.
@@joshuajefferson3504Which is why I'm saving to get a Retro Pocket 3 + and a Oden hand held PC. I can play all the classic games from nes to Psp on the former and PS2 and above on the latter.

You mean like the bullshit Ubisoft's been pulling lately? Or past times when other companies de-list games & block access to them even if you bought them? Or when they use DRM so bad they themselves have to use a crack in order to "patch" the DRM out of the digital copy. Not to mention all the censorship AKA "localization"
@@user-yt5sv2lu6q they erased user accounts (that had game purchases on them btw) for being inactive for too long. meaning those users lost their purchased games and will have to make a new account and repurchase those games to ever play them again (if they are even still sold).
As illegal as it is, at least they didn't even hide it's literally just a flash drive full of emulators. Most competition make a cheap plastic casing and call it the Wuu, the Notendo Swink, or the Playstomper 7, this one was like "yeah we know what this is."
the stupid/crazy thing is that getting your own shirts, bags or whatever you make to amazon is really hard from outside of usa as you need to prove that you own your brand and you can't prove it yourself easily, to curtail piracy. putting pirate electronics however is easy and amazon doesn't bother having a single employee spend 15 minutes daily cleaning it out even.
Yeah, you are right. Don't buy pirated games. Just spend 2 million dollars and buy the legit ones that are no longer available for normal people and fill your entire house with the original consoles and carts that are 35 years old and break all the time..😂 Good idea.
Roms are us poor folks that can't afford 60 to 1000 dollars on video games. I buy games and play roms. Though I'm surprised they haven't gotten in trouble for selling the games.
@@jessicacounts7180 They dont get into trouble since it's 90% abandonware that has since a long time ago not made the publisher any money eitherway. Think the makers of these games are mostly happy that people still get to enjoy them all these years down the line
“One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue... The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It’s by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates.” - Gabe Newell
The biggest decision for me was game companies not delivering on their promises. I must have wasted a good $1000 or more on terrible games throughout my life and don't shed a tear over the thousands of game I've ripped off as a result.
@edKolis definitely not impossible! Music industry figured it out. If it weren't for the many free music streaming platforms, pirating music would still be much more common. Most kids these days haven't pirated music. I don't use music streaming myself. I still prefer to download all of mine and make my own playlists.
@@jaysonovo4778and yet nobody is making money off streaming, Spotify still isn’t profitable. Artists are making a fraction of a penny per stream. All that yip yap about Napster and the RIAA ripping artists off, they actually made MORE money back when people bought vinyls and CDs.
Batocera by itself is legal and free. You have to source the system bios files where required, and you're on your own, backing up your games, or otherwise finding the roms. For the less technically savvy, collections like this are easier.
honestly any thing for the 90's is much much better than anything they have today back in the 90's it was all point to point what was great they were simpler and better its to much of these story telling non-sense that destroyed games in this day and age all the new games feel repetitive to me! so i loose focus! its not about player experience its all about how high the quality of games can be!
This is so weird because I remember when Nintendo went HARD against the R4 cards being sold on Amazon and eBay but even before the 3DS was discontinued you could easily get one from them
I think it's about timing. When R4 got hunted left and right by Nintendo Ninjas, DS was still in production. Then 3ds came, those cards IIRC only for DS games not 3ds. And at that time, Nintendo Ninjas focused on the 3ds hackers (confirmed more in gigaleak about their plan), and later on Team Xcuter (a.k.a Gateway3ds). Remember, we didn't get news about 3ds hackers after discontinuation.
@@bitelaserkhalif There was a 3DS cart as well, but after the exploits that allow you to run unsigned code straight from the SD came out, it quickly faded into obscurity.
@@gamamew 43,254 at least. I bet they sell this super cheap, because the real money comes from the scammers keylogging your computer and defrauding you over and over. lol
Some of the handheld emulator consoles are getting to be amazing. Go for one of the ones that dual-boot android and Linux. But then you can also find resellers who include a micro-sd that’s loaded up with either every game ever made, or the better option, which is the top 100 roms for every console. Having EVERYthing means that you will have 100 lousy rom-hacks of every game and it’ll be impossible to scroll through all the trash.
PS2 racing games don't use trigger for accel/brake, they use cross/square. One thing you can't blame on the thumbstick. ONE thing. EDIT: Might want to check under P for Bonk, they might be running the JP version...
A lot of people don't know the face buttons on the PS2 were analogue, how hard you pressed it was an analogue input for racing games like burnout or grand tourism
he's just a bloody idiot thats why lol the ps2 controller didn't even have triggers but he had to try to find a way to blame the emulation. What he did was outright prove why they sell and why they might actually be worth it, he was having a blast and couldn't even hide it lol.
@mormacfey it is not against the GPL to sell the Software. The GPL allows you to redistribute the software and charge as much as you want. And even if it was against the GPL they are selling the physical stick not the code. Do you think it should be illegal to sell a pc with Linux pre-installed?
@mormacfey you have to show they modified the code to claim they did. You don't have to provide the source code during sale. You only have to make source code public if you made changes and there is no reason to believe this is not just an unmotified Linux redistributable. You are allowed to sell the redistributable. That is what the GPL says. There is no reason to think they pirated the OS. Now the roms are different but we are only talking about the Linux distro.
But the controller "stopped" working before he died lol. Could be input latency, though I wonder why it wasn't until then. Need to watch the stream to see if I would notice if there is input latency or not lol.
I have an original mattel intellivision with the burgertime game. The game was very clunky & the controls did not always work, so it was a very frustrating console to use.
I've had this for quite a while and I absolutely love it. Amazon sells handheld game consoles with ROMS included as well as hard drives full of ROMS. It's not a new thing. Anbernic and PowKiddy make some great handhelds. There's also the Super Console X that hooks right to the monitor thru HDMI - no boot order changes thru a PC required. This particular USB Drive featured in the video also works with Macbooks that have Intel Processors, but won't work with the M1 and forward Apple Processors.
yeah but the point is that they profit off selling free software and games the just grabbed from places like cool rom or romhustler. you'd be pretty stupid to buy a flash drive when all of what they offer you can get for free yourself. now I guess if your lazy then a thumb drive with everything already there might make it worth it.
Right, this guy acting like this is some new scam is hilarious. The size he purchased for the price, he was completely ripped off. Some of the 2tb with a 200,000 game collection drives are around $100. Even if you ended up not using half of the games you still have a 40$ 2tb harddrive to show for it.
The reason why the trigger didn't accelerate on burnout takedown is probably because a lot of racing games used the X button to accelerate at the time. It didn't become common to use the trigger for that until the 7th gen
I might grab one next month just for those roms. Finding them safely online, dealing with download limits on sites and stuff, it sucks. These companies don't care about preserving their games so this a convenient rom source. Copy the roms to my linux rig for safety because plugging that into a Windows rig straight up wouldn't be wise.
Just be aware that this guy literally found one of the most pathetic versions of this to exist. For the same price you could easily purchase a preloaded 1 tb usb drive with a much larger library. If you really want everything they have 8tb to 16tb HDD's preloaded with pretty much every rom imaginable from ps3 to gamecube, n64, ps1, ps2, xbox etc and even including hundreds of AAA modern pc Games. These will only cost maybe 40 to 60$ more.
It’s not sold by Amazon don’t blame Amazon on something that not theirs it has to say sold and shipped by Amazon I bought the Sega Genesis mini 2 that comes with Sega Cd games it was not sold by Amazon it was sold by someone in Japan I had to pay $20 for the shipping read who sells the item
The thing is when I worked in an office years ago I had an internal HDD, put into a portable carrier, filled it with mame games, and it blew my co workers' minds. I'm sure they mentioned wanting one and willing to pay. Some people just have no idea how to emulate and will just pay for the thumb drive with roms.
It really isn't that hard to set up batocera or retrobat, nothing a quick Google search can't fix to help set one up.... The only thing difficult to get is the Bios files, romsets are easy to get if you know where to look..... Emulation is incredibly accessible nowadays, personally I rather just build my own library, these things have too many duplicates.....it's never what they claim it really has....
@@aikidoboynj yep, I can and have in the past made plenty of these type of liveusb devices but for 40$ it's already done and ready to go, i'm thinking of getting it.
Yep. Sony used pressure sensitive buttons for a while on their controllers. Nice to know I wasn't crazy for thinking it made me go faster when I was a kid.
Absolute lie right here. You're full of it. Older games on xbox and xbox 360 used the A button to drive/accelerate for example, Saints Row series and need for speed used A to drive instead of triggers. Switch thr triggers tail end of 7th gen start of 8th
Thats not actually a bad deal if you have slow internet or just cant be bothered to gather romsets and set up emulators. Probably loaded with malware though.
Your not buying the roms or bat your paying for the work that goes into putting the collection together and making sure everything works out of the package and of course the hardware be it usb or an raspie or android box. I have built a 14tb launchbox collection that has taken me years of work perfecting.
You’re a pretty cool dude. I’m glad I found your channel. I’m a retro gamer, still admittedly stuck in the past. My favorites include NES and SNES RPG’s, and I just recently discovered that Xbox actually makes jRPG’s that very closely resemble the old school games of the 90s! I just finished Sea of Stars and am now playing Chained Echoes. Yaaaas!😊
Cool, where can I buy one and what games are on it? I don't care about pirated stuff. I'll buy it. Tell me where I can get one and what games are on it.

Laws created by intelligent, caring and ethical people are usually as such. Laws created by diabolical, selfish folks are usually pretty horrible for anyone but them - but worst of all are laws created by the stupid and/or naive, for they usually, rightly serve no one well, including the writers themselves.
What are these called exactly; I mean the form factor where it has the flash drive with an HDMI output? Could you buy them blank, or get one and wipe it and then insert your own SD card with an image and run it?
What Rich Says: "I'm going to stream myself playing around on some games with this tonight" - What Rich Does: Gets to the title screen of a few games, takes his shirt off and proceeds to watch Phil/Quantam TV ... It's great stuff
I don't agree with this at all. Hear me out. Super Mario, Castlevania, Contra, ect. I can understand because the company that made those still sell them. But what about The Gaurdian Legend? There's thousands of examples I could give that the only way you could get them is to buy it from a dealer who's not paying royalties. So if you're going to ban emulators you'll also need to ban sells of physical copies being sold by people who aren't paying royalties. If you do that some of these games will be gone forever.
The fact that Amazon allows things like this to be sold on their site makes me question their reliability. It's no wonder more and more people are waking up to the fact that Amazon isn't worth it. Heck even Amazon Prime is ridiculously expensive and their delivery time isn't guaranteed anymore.
Where have you been the last 10 plus years. Amazon has been doing this. Temu does this now so does Walmart and Target. Your whole statement about people waking about amazon isn't true when they are doing better every year.
They did write, " It's no wonder more and more people are waking up " , @@alphaking32... but I forget the best thing to do on internet is pedantic "well, actually" 🤣👍
Rich you're like 15 years older than me, you should be old enough to remember that PS2 era games used x on PlayStation and a on Xbox to accelerate. From Racing games to GTA to platformer minigames
It's so weird going back to older games that control that way. Even though I lived through it as well, I'm 45. It's like, the triggers are right there, why weren't developers using them?!?
@@ArcaniaSkypirateDen9516 I had a thought that maybe the triggers weren't pressure sensitive back then, but the regular buttons were, so that's why they were choosing them. But no, starting with the DualShock 2 and the PS2, all of the buttons (except select/start/L3/R3) were pressure sensitive/analog inputs. I think it's just that nobody thought to use them for accelerating and braking/reversing in driving games yet, so it was probably just a carry over from the PS1 era to keep using the regular face buttons... Or I 'would' think that, except that I'm looking up controls for Dreamcast racing games, and they all tend to use the triggers. So I guess the idea just hadn't filtered over to PS2 and XBox games. Even Headhunter. On Dreamcast, it uses the triggers for driving the motorcycle. On PS2, it uses X and Square.
Oh the irony of pointing fingers at pirates while using AI generated pictures. Do you think pirating old games they don't even sell anymore is worse than supporting modern AI companies that build their models on top of billions of stolen pictures?
lol this is a dumb video. What do you care is Batocera doesn't like it. You can't even say the name so whats the big deal. Let people buy what they want.

I thought he was trying to avoid content matches on the music but this makes more sense as xbox had the analogue triggers and ps2 had that function on the buttons lol
Assuming the capacity of that memory stick is really 128GB, more than half of the $39.99 price tag is from the "labor" of putting together all of that pirated software, including the Linux variant that's actually supposed to be free!
Thanks bro. Because of you i actually bought a good amount of these. Got one for my gaming room, one for my man cave, one for my pool house, and purchased 3 for my vintage style arcade systems in my bar area on my house. Plus i grabbed a few for around the house. I will say they are 1000% worth it especially for my arcade systems I've had zero issues with them. Thanks for the review.
Triggers became the default driving button PS3 onwards save for the Gamecube. Might I also add, these older EA games always had absolute bangers for their soundtracks? If you didn't have to update the bios, I could imagine getting this for some disadvantaged folks I know in Morocco. Would give them something to do. Does this require you to have a decent PC or is it mostly plug and play?
Public Services: I'd make sure you vet the company before booting to a USB and running a custom OS...that's probably foreign... And connects to your Internet with access to your hard drive. But yeah sure what's the worst that could happen 😂

you boot off of it, not your system. pretty sure this would be pc only@@kiillabytez
Just be aware that this guy literally found one of the most pathetic versions of this to exist. For the same price you could easily purchase a preloaded 1 tb usb drive with a much larger library. If you really want everything they have 8tb to 16tb HDD's preloaded with pretty much every rom imaginable from ps3 to gamecube, n64, ps1, ps2, xbox etc and even including hundreds of AAA modern pc Games. These will only cost maybe 40 to 60$ more.
@@coastalorigins3031Care to point me in the right direction?
It’s not sold by Amazon don’t blame Amazon on something that not theirs it has to say sold and shipped by Amazon I bought the Sega Genesis mini 2 that comes with Sega Cd games it was not sold by Amazon it was sold by someone in Japan I had to pay $20 for the shipping read who sells the item
The thing is when I worked in an office years ago I had an internal HDD, put into a portable carrier, filled it with mame games, and it blew my co workers' minds. I'm sure they mentioned wanting one and willing to pay. Some people just have no idea how to emulate and will just pay for the thumb drive with roms.
the only thing they pay on you is your effort and internet and electric bills. lol. thats how 3rd world does.
It really isn't that hard to set up batocera or retrobat, nothing a quick Google search can't fix to help set one up....
The only thing difficult to get is the Bios files, romsets are easy to get if you know where to look.....
Emulation is incredibly accessible nowadays, personally I rather just build my own library, these things have too many duplicates.....it's never what they claim it really has....
its funny cause every single Brazilian that likes videogames also knows how to emulate and stuff
It's the convenience
@@aikidoboynj yep, I can and have in the past made plenty of these type of liveusb devices but for 40$ it's already done and ready to go, i'm thinking of getting it.
Good job Bezos
The burnout 3 part was hilarious.
Playstation 2 was using the buttons to drive in driving games while xbox used the triggers.
ahh thats why
Yep. Sony used pressure sensitive buttons for a while on their controllers. Nice to know I wasn't crazy for thinking it made me go faster when I was a kid.
Yup. PS2 shoulder buttons were still just buttons; L2 and R2 weren't trigger-like yet.
Yep I downloaded it on my deck and tried to use the triggers lol. I don't use X to accelerate at all.
Absolute lie right here. You're full of it. Older games on xbox and xbox 360 used the A button to drive/accelerate for example, Saints Row series and need for speed used A to drive instead of triggers. Switch thr triggers tail end of 7th gen start of 8th
Thats not actually a bad deal if you have slow internet or just cant be bothered to gather romsets and set up emulators. Probably loaded with malware though.
Yup. Copy only the rom files to a Linux rig first for safety and then pass those to Windows on a different drive. Bam.
Your not buying the roms or bat your paying for the work that goes into putting the collection together and making sure everything works out of the package and of course the hardware be it usb or an raspie or android box. I have built a 14tb launchbox collection that has taken me years of work perfecting.
Dang! 14tb?! Does that include PC games?
@@Menleah yes it also includes every windows operating system as separate VM's and games on each of those machines.
Uhh...do you have a website? Lol.
@@TheMccaleb19 im sorry i didnt mean to imply that i sold these things im just someone who built their own.
@@TheIcePhoenixx Wow, that's a really awesome archive!
You’re a pretty cool dude. I’m glad I found your channel. I’m a retro gamer, still admittedly stuck in the past. My favorites include NES and SNES RPG’s, and I just recently discovered that Xbox actually makes jRPG’s that very closely resemble the old school games of the 90s! I just finished Sea of Stars and am now playing Chained Echoes. Yaaaas!😊
Cool, where can I buy one and what games are on it? I don't care about pirated stuff. I'll buy it. Tell me where I can get one and what games are on it.
Damn. Rich is reviewing tech in the USA. Is this 2016?
What is the market for this? Anyone savvy enough to use it knows how to do all this and can download ROMs.
Wow finally a review made in the USA
"This is arguably, if not THE, most illegal gaming device that is sold on Amazon." Should we tell him about the 5TB version? 😂
Nah yust tell me about it 😂
The most surprising thing I found on Amazon was the mod chips for xb360, the sdcard board for dc and everything you’ll need to mod ps2, ps3 and psp
There's a hdd on there now with every game console all the way up to switch except Xbox one. Ummm wife I know what I want for Christmas hahahahaha
@@fordshojoe8080please tell me the name of it. 🙏🙏🦵
@@fordshojoe8080never mind. I found it. 😁
@@fordshojoe8080you got a link
Awesome 👍 good job my fellow retro gamer 💪 I have just joined your channel and we are connected now 🙂
Amazon has everything. I bet they have Kodi drives filled with movies and free cable addons. 🤔
Damn I hope so lol
Isn’t that what the Amazon Firestick is for lol
Watching Rich play retro games is not something I knew I needed until now. We need more birds, more bursting, breasts, shooting ropes, while Jay's cat jumps to its death, while Dreamcast guy is eating a carp in the closet, while Rich plays Splatterhouse. K thx bai
"We need more breasts"
What?😂
@@ArcaniaSkypirateDen9516 If you don't get that reference, you don't watch RTU streams nearly enough haha
Purchases illegal item, complains that someone made an illegal item.
I'd love to see you review cheaper handhelds, like the Miyoo Mini or some of Abernic's new devices
I got the miyoo and anbernic gameboys and they both rock
The controller wasn't working because you went from player 1 to player 2....🎮
Fun Fact: "Legality" and "Illegality" is just a Human construct. "Laws" and Morality don't mix.
Laws and morality do mix. Laws don't exist without morality.
There is objective morality
@@DaRealND19 I seriously doubt that.
Laws created by intelligent, caring and ethical people are usually as such. Laws created by diabolical, selfish folks are usually pretty horrible for anyone but them - but worst of all are laws created by the stupid and/or naive, for they usually, rightly serve no one well, including the writers themselves.
@@josueveguilla9069 Why?
What are these called exactly; I mean the form factor where it has the flash drive with an HDMI output? Could you buy them blank, or get one and wipe it and then insert your own SD card with an image and run it?
What Rich Says: "I'm going to stream myself playing around on some games with this tonight" - What Rich Does: Gets to the title screen of a few games, takes his shirt off and proceeds to watch Phil/Quantam TV ... It's great stuff
id be scared of what that does on boot with your computer... >_>
finally another tech review from review tech
I might just pick one up just for the roms. Thank you for sharing.
Birds a consoles
Rich tomorrow: Hey everybody, I am now the CEO of the most illegal console Amazon sells. Let's get into it.
😂😂😂😂
Rich tomorrow
I don't agree with this at all. Hear me out. Super Mario, Castlevania, Contra, ect. I can understand because the company that made those still sell them. But what about The Gaurdian Legend? There's thousands of examples I could give that the only way you could get them is to buy it from a dealer who's not paying royalties. So if you're going to ban emulators you'll also need to ban sells of physical copies being sold by people who aren't paying royalties. If you do that some of these games will be gone forever.
The fact that Amazon allows things like this to be sold on their site makes me question their reliability. It's no wonder more and more people are waking up to the fact that Amazon isn't worth it. Heck even Amazon Prime is ridiculously expensive and their delivery time isn't guaranteed anymore.
I view Amazon Prime as subscribing to a flea market that delivers.
You know how sometimes there’s stores that sell “new” but totally 💩items
Where have you been the last 10 plus years. Amazon has been doing this. Temu does this now so does Walmart and Target. Your whole statement about people waking about amazon isn't true when they are doing better every year.
This is why when they deliver it late, I get the item for like 50% off or even free sometimes🤙🏻
They did write, " It's no wonder more and more people are waking up " , @@alphaking32... but I forget the best thing to do on internet is pedantic "well, actually" 🤣👍
Amazon: Buy now and it'll be there by 12pm-3pm
Me:* *buys item* *
Amazon:See you in 3 days!!!
😭😭😭
Rich you're like 15 years older than me, you should be old enough to remember that PS2 era games used x on PlayStation and a on Xbox to accelerate. From Racing games to GTA to platformer minigames
It's so weird going back to older games that control that way. Even though I lived through it as well, I'm 45. It's like, the triggers are right there, why weren't developers using them?!?
@@shsrpr
I would like to know what went through these developers heads back then.
@@ArcaniaSkypirateDen9516 I had a thought that maybe the triggers weren't pressure sensitive back then, but the regular buttons were, so that's why they were choosing them. But no, starting with the DualShock 2 and the PS2, all of the buttons (except select/start/L3/R3) were pressure sensitive/analog inputs. I think it's just that nobody thought to use them for accelerating and braking/reversing in driving games yet, so it was probably just a carry over from the PS1 era to keep using the regular face buttons... Or I 'would' think that, except that I'm looking up controls for Dreamcast racing games, and they all tend to use the triggers. So I guess the idea just hadn't filtered over to PS2 and XBox games. Even Headhunter. On Dreamcast, it uses the triggers for driving the motorcycle. On PS2, it uses X and Square.
He’s not a gamer, he’s a TH-camr who pretends to be about gaming. 😂
BREASTS!
Can it play Generation 1 and 2 Monster Hunter games? And NEW Nintendo games too?
Somehow we always tend to forget that back then in most racing games, accelerate is X or A instead of R2 or RT like nowadays.
Oh the irony of pointing fingers at pirates while using AI generated pictures. Do you think pirating old games they don't even sell anymore is worse than supporting modern AI companies that build their models on top of billions of stolen pictures?
More of these videos Rich. Rich playing retro games is a winner
lol this is a dumb video. What do you care is Batocera doesn't like it. You can't even say the name so whats the big deal. Let people buy what they want.
Never would have known about this if it weren't for you Rich thanks buddy
Complains about a company stealing games for profit. Then plays said stolen games on his you tube channel to make money. No hypocrisy here.
Hey Rich, huge fan here! I've been following your content for a long time, and I must say, this new stuff you've been putting out is fantastic! It's a refreshing change from the oldies on DK, and I really appreciate the effort you put into it.
And let's talk about the merch - those shirts are pure gold! They are not only stylish but also hilarious, making them a must-have for any fan. Keep up the great work and looking forward to more exciting content and awesome merch in the future! Cheers! 🙌👕
We haven't seen rich review the modern consoles dk oldies have
Using a VPN doesn't hide your activity, all it does is hide your IP address. You are still leaving tracks and cookies everywhere you go, sites still know it's you.
I Love how Rich keeps changing the track in Burnout 3 because he cant stop hitting the back triggers from muscle memory 😹😹
I thought he was trying to avoid content matches on the music but this makes more sense as xbox had the analogue triggers and ps2 had that function on the buttons lol
Not sure what the point of this video is. To advertise for them? I'm gonna be ordering one because of your video lol
Amazon listing titles always makes me laugh
Ah those gaming chair titles, oh and their price differnces of the same product....yeesh.
Why have they not been sued yet? Open source does not mean you can take the software and sell it for profit!
Rich has all of your gaming contraband needs... 😅
I would understand if these games were still being sold, but they are not. Roms should not be illegal.
He got carried away and started enjoying the game.
LoL
3:30 how tf do you pirate Linux 💀
Assuming the capacity of that memory stick is really 128GB, more than half of the $39.99 price tag is from the "labor" of putting together all of that pirated software, including the Linux variant that's actually supposed to be free!
Rich Tomorrow: My computer has a virus...
On wish you can get basically the same but its a cheap 1tb - 4tb hard drive with pirated pc games.
I ordered a Steam Deck not too long ago. I haven't used it yet, but I bet it runs better than this "emulator".
I hate to inform you but good ol Quantum has a TikTok account. And it’s delusional man.
Thanks bro. Because of you i actually bought a good amount of these. Got one for my gaming room, one for my man cave, one for my pool house, and purchased 3 for my vintage style arcade systems in my bar area on my house. Plus i grabbed a few for around the house. I will say they are 1000% worth it especially for my arcade systems I've had zero issues with them. Thanks for the review.
All I got from this video.... no offense is, damn this plays well and spot on mostly. Oh but don't buy it. LOL
Triggers became the default driving button PS3 onwards save for the Gamecube. Might I also add, these older EA games always had absolute bangers for their soundtracks? If you didn't have to update the bios, I could imagine getting this for some disadvantaged folks I know in Morocco. Would give them something to do. Does this require you to have a decent PC or is it mostly plug and play?
A cheap i3 with 4gb ram laptop would do, and a link from youtube on how to change the bios.
Maybe if companies would support their own games Maybe people wouldn't have to pirate their games
Does anyone have a source to a micro sd card setup like this so I can use it on my rog ally?
great video rich! oh Burger time lmao!
Never seen the setup so zoomed out like the intro, feels weird
the Linux OS they are using on these are Open Source OS that can be used on anything even raspberry pi. The os and themes can be downloaded all free
Do you know if this will work for the Xbox Series X?
But is this still better than the Soujaboi gaming console?
nice promotion, i didnt know about these, thanks
Quick say but i use purple dns and I’ve never got a virus
I'll make sure to steer clear of ExpressVPN.
Public Services: I'd make sure you vet the company before booting to a USB and running a custom OS...that's probably foreign... And connects to your Internet with access to your hard drive. But yeah sure what's the worst that could happen 😂
1:50 A Christian Straight Man Appears!
I dont think thats even close to the worst. I watched a video recently reviewing a 12 TB hard drive that works in windows that is full of ROMs that doesn't even require USB boot
I would never run this, but might be fun to add to the collection lol.
Without express vpn, everyone would know what chicken pron sites Rich visits. 😂
I think it's cool! Hope they get better! 😁
Rich: "I'm not obsessed with Quantum."
Has a image of Quantum on his shirt, phone and in the background.
