Hey everyone, welcome back to another Cheapo Game Console review thingo! Hope you all enjoy this one, next up will be the GS5 thing I got from Temu. Also thanks so much for the interest in that Temu video, I don't think I'll do a follow up from it. It was more a once off with the thumbnail. I'll go back to the old style again :) If you know about Custom Firmware for this, let me know. Not sure about the GS5 but we will get to that. Let me know what you thought of this one and if you think it's worth the $30 AUD?

depending on the SoC on the board you can definitely flash your own images but you would be playing around recompiling linux kernals to get it work, the rockchip IS REALLY UNDERPOWERED, i have a rockchip rk3399 SBC (Raspberry pi ripoff) and theres certainly rockchip linux oses, give me a message with the image of the sd card and i could try see if you can atleast get some custom roms on it
Given the "GS5" name refers to many different products (with and without pro) it is impossible to know more or guess without cracking it open. Even model numbers are likely to be inadequate here. One of the different GS5 products online show menus basically identical to this stick, so *if* it is of the same lineage, it could be somewhat related. Though it may also be an entirely different system.
there is a video on yt where a guy modded these that use firmware version 4.0 or 5.0 to be able to play more emulators and even use the real ps1 bios as i just uses the HLE BIOS built into retroarch
37:37 THAT unpopulated area with 3 holes is probably a UART bus (from the R and T probably referring to the TX and RX of the bus). It's a simple protocol that gives you a behond the scenes look on what the device is doing. Assuming this device runs Linux if you were to hook it up to a USB TTL adapter to the computer and running a tool like PuTTY you will be able to see the Linux boot log and if you are lucky you will probably get a root shell where you can interact with the device behind the scenes. I mess around with UART constantly with stuff like routers and cheap miracasters. TL;DR If you see this (labeled T R or TX RX) chances are you can easily hack this device
look up youtube channel Augusto Cavalca videos not English tho but has links in the comments to download the FW that was modded to run other system and it runs ps1 much better too will work if your stick uses V4.0 or V5.0 FW
HDMI input is no matter, because 2 dollar adaptor HDMI to VGA you can buy, I bought 2 of them and working fine. Two different model. One is Female VGA and one have male VGA. So later I use for all other devices. and That one I put on a old Monitor which have VGA only. It now has HDMI port and I can use this monitor as a current one. As like this you can buy HDMI to AV converter. I bought this one and the counter way one also which AV to HDMI one. Old CRT TV I can use NTSC mode and HDMI port it has now. Pal also can work if you use these 3 type of converter mixed. Pal version is way better of course.
I had a CRT by Sony, I believe it was a trinitron and it had HDMI ports on it. Got it for free from a TV repair place that said it was junk, found a break in the power cord so I replaced it and the TV worked fine for years. I believe I got rid of it in 2020 when the power supply board went out.
Commando was a NES game, I remember playing it as a kid and I had found a small glitch in it. at the Boss of the first level, if you died just before you killed him and the door to the next level opened then your commando would literally get back up and walk into level 2 and you'd just continue to play the game as if nothing happened. Not sure if this glitch also worked with every boss/end level enemies since I had only ever beaten the first level.
I know some people that actually bought this and I gotta say: the game list is actually good. There's some classic games in there that you can play with your friends. But the image quality is awful on a modern TV (idk if it is supposed to be like that or if it was just bad configured), but I think it will actually look good on an old TV. I would recommend it if you want to play some old games with your friends and just have fun
You can buy cheap convertible adapters, HDMI to VGA, HDMItoAV, AvtoHDMI, and then mix them properly, you can see the PAL quality on a VGA Monitor, because Adapter can receive the PAL signals.
you go into retroarch and change controls settings for kof set the buttons for a=b b=a c=y d=x once set all the games should work, i think the game stick default was that
To change the OS a good option is postmarketOS, linux for mainly phones but also other devices, seeing it has a Rockchip SOC it could be possible to make a port. Also try hooking up a USB keyboard and trying CTRL+ALT+F(whatever) which on most linux distros should bring you to a terminal.
To add a custom firmware of some kind would be possible for something like emuelec as the dongle stick thing seems to be a glorified android box in a smaller form factor. So if you followed an install video of how to do it on a similar spec android box would most likely work on this. Would be cool to see if it works.
Maybe if you manage to plug in a keyboard and also have plugged a usb with a low resource Linux distro and make it boot form the usb you could maybe install the linux distribution that's in the usb (i'm think of this because if it runs retroarch so maybe it can run linux)
I had this for a bout a year before finally setting it up. I bought this for games like Final Fantasy 3 for the SNES, but was happy to find MAME for some of the arcade games I grew up with. Was happy to see Flashback for the Sega on there. Be nice if they had Shadowrun and Beavis & Butthead. Find out as soon as I figure out how to get my headset to work with the tv I have this hooked up too. Might be another year hehe. However, maybe you'll answer a question? You turn off the tv this thing turns off? I can save my game and turn off the tv and walk away? Except for having enough power to maintain saves for games? Instructions are kind of trash.
Just got mine today for £12, the capcom and snk games run almost perfect. So of the really old arcade side scrollers don't run well, so it's a hit and miss, most snes and mega drive is fine. And the PS1 is not really worth mentioning, But for that price it's fine, plus playing Simpsons arcade with my daughter is golden. So I'd say 70 percent of the games work fine. And at that price it's great, especially if you're on the move
Just stumbled upon one of these and thanks to your video I left it there for someone else to use. While neat, I already have many ways to play these games already. Thanks for the information and saving me some money. :)
I brought one from Temu and goes ok if you can ignore the stuttering sound and gameplay at times. Hard to find the game you want and have been able to find some using the search function . Tried to add a PS1 game but can’t seem to find it in any of the lists
there is a video on yt where a guy modded these that use firmware version 4.0 or 5.0 to be able to play more emulators and even use the real ps1 bios as i just uses the HLE BIOS built into retroarch
I got mine afew months ago but never set it up til now after seeing all the diff reviews and started thinking i had a dud on my hands but dude... I must be one of the lucky ones. The sound was tinny as but i had no problems after trying 30 games over diff emulators and no issues whatsoever.
"Turn a sniper rifle into a gatling gun." Most games have a reloading animation for guns, so no matter how much you're spamming the button, it's not going to fire any faster. Using that to showcase their turbo button is very odd.
yoo i gonna get this for my christmas just brings back memories i miss those games and i can get from temu for 25 with two controllers over 10k games so cool i gonna hav fun with it!
I bought this and it loads on my TV but the image flickers to black and back again. I tried different cables and chargers but still happens. I connect it to a 55 inch phillips ambilight tv.
Basically just like a raspberry pi its running of an sd card which makes hacming and upgrading the os really easy. Might even be able to put a rpi 0 in it
It seems like you're trying to be Rarez. That's okay. It's a wonderful channel that doesn't put much content out anymore. And there was always room for more people to cover the topics. Good video. Liked and subbed.
Current situation on the market is that for $30 you could get emulator machines that would run decent emulation of 16-bit consoles, like SNES and Mega Drive . They usually try PS1 and N64, but hardware is too weak for that. For a decent PS1 emulation you need something that costs at least $60-70 .
@@kevinrecinos1163 Try to find channel Wicked package for China. He does mostly emulator consoles, lots of them, some good some bad. For example, he recently praised certain console based on Celeron chip that does PS1 and N64 flawlessly, and could even run some PS2 and Cube games (and Dreamcast of course).
You can just take a hdd, put batocera on it and add the roms for free. The chinese options have doubles and missing titles. They just download rom packs and put it on there. If you take a old desktop hdd it will load everything many times faster.
I have one of these and its not too bad.A lot of crappy old games but plenty to keep you happy with some of the Nintendo/PS1 games.I paid $38 for it on Ebay and its a good buy..I just bought this for a bit of fun 👍
I did a Google search of the RK 3032 and I found a dude on Reddit who had one of these chips in an old TV box. He said he was able to get Debian and Ubuntu to run on it. However; it was a giant pain in the rear to do as there's nothing for these so he had to build the images himself. I enjoyed the video. The stick itself seems worthless; but, another commenter said that these controllers can do real analog on the sticks by fiddling with the Mode button. It might be kind of fun if you have a Dex dock, or an equivalent like a Steam Deck dock, to wire your broken Galaxy Fold, or any old Galaxy from the S8 up, to the TV and plug the dongle into a spare port on the dock. I assume it would connect to an Android phone over OTG being it was recognized by Windows, and if so you'd have a neat TV emulation console that could actually run things for next to nothing.
Before Diamond actually came out, I was playing that on emulators and it just had this really janky vibe to it being passed off as "official" but just a reskin of another game. It was pretty good for the time. Haven't played it in AGES!
@@SMOOREZ I actually have been playing it since like the year 2002 on the same emulator (Rew) and i still love to play it. The music is so good because is the same composer as Castlevania 1 (Kinuyo Yamashita) and i was gifted the game guide too and it has very nice art. The mangas are expensive though.... Its a reskin of Keitai Denjuu Telefang Power Version and Jade of Speed version. Both games are pretty good and the monsters even have a personality and friendship mechanic. Also, thanks for your reply, you are one of my favorite youtubers. Salutes to you and Ripley (She is adorable).
I just ordered one, I am going to be using a plug to power the device because both my firesticks play up if I power by tv USB, no problems on a plug. So fingers crossed.
Technically yes there are CRTs with HDMI on it however by that logic both the Xbox Series Consoles and PS5 support CRTs by the fact that these TVs exist
I have ordered one of these, I intend to use a plug to power it rather than the tv, I have to do this with my firesticks or I have issues, so j am hoping using a plug will reduce or remove some of the issues people having. Seen somenine use a plug, load street fighter, it was perfect.
I have the model up from it, the 'GD10' which features, allegedly, 2GB RAM and an aigame905L CPU. I've not taken it apart to check. N64 and PS1 games are a crapshoot, but pretty much everything else runs quite well. If anyone buys one, I heartily recommend imaging the SD card, and burning that image onto one that isn't a wafer of shit. Other than that, it's great fun revisiting the Megadrive and SNES games I played with my kids when they were younger. ROM legality aside, I paid £35 for mine, they're now £21. There's many hours to be had enjoying retro gaming. My TV looks quite good with it. Perhaps the CPU is a little whuftier in the GD10? I've had no issues with the controllers. ps. I've just bought a Powkiddy v90 for shits and giggles.
You can compare Apples and Oranges, but at the end of the day, I think if you can find 10-20 games that play Half Decently, then you got your monies worth for $30.00 - $30.00!, isn't it worth at least that, for a kid to have some fun?
"Wireless pair battle" that's what happens when you have 2 RC cars that use the same protocol and you get interference from your friends radio. J\K but "wireless pair battle" is hilarious, so is the picture of two guys dancing with photoshopped PS gamepads in their hands. Also, FINALLY a device that allows me to game on my graphoscope. What? You don't own a graphoscope? "Alien Double Stupid" is right up there with the best bootleg game titles i've heard. And if you're not grinding one box, then you're cheating on the other boxes you grind on. Have a little respect for your box, and please, for your boxes sake, if you choose to grind on more than one box, use protection. My favorite Engrish game title i saw on an EBAY listing is subtle, yet full of chuckles: "NBA Basketball Jam"
Probably worth $30AUS just for the two controllers, Although the item itself would be better replaced with a Raspberry Pi running Batocera. ETA well it would have been had the RaspPi prices not gone completely nuts!
Ripley is a Sony fan girl and she's very disappointed that he reversed the PlayStation buttons. She'll get over it; but it's going to take lots of bribery on Shane's part. Possibly up to two cans of tuna, even!
Power outage archive means that if your net is down, it has memory space to save your games until you have power again, is my guess. Just a guess from years of reading the instructions, and realizing is usually really is pointless, as they're barely English.
Where do you find the game to download and the instructions I got none were in English, so I feel like I was scammed out of my money because I don't know how to get the games on this thing or how to hook it up
doies does it have a filter that smoothes cthe gprahics? on the pixel games and over all liek sega and aall i jhave the x2 plus but i hate the filter that they forced on it
Well, for the device, it's not bad, pretty good for 8-bit and 16-bit emulation. Not much use other than that, maybe to control the light of your house, some automation, but that's just about it as the CPU is very weak in today's standard (not even good for 1080p TH-cam playback). $30 is actually on par, but a little bit expensive in my opinion.
Hey everyone, welcome back to another Cheapo Game Console review thingo!

Oh the Eclipse batteries, recognize them from some DankPods videos.
At least they don't blow smoke
AAA!!!!
oohh my pukcelks
My cat toy said "batteries not included" on the box, yet inside the box were 3 eclipse batteries that felt like they were filled with feathers.
Na no
I appreciate your extremely generous interpretation of "runs pretty well" 😂
Yeah I found one of these once and just the complete lack of aspect ratio adjustment and performance issues ruins this entire thing.
This console is like a box of surprises. You accidentally bought it, it accidentally plays games and you accidentally had fun
😂😂😂😂
I accidentally shat myself

A very small number of CRT-TVs had HDMI ports. They were very rare, but they existed. So it's not technically a lie.
Was just about to mention the last CRT TV I owned had an HDMI port. Too bad it only supported 1080i, 480p, and 480i.
@@icebergmm thats still pretty cool tho
Yes, the Sony Vaio t.v. my wife and I bought in 2003 hadn't hdmi input

I know some people that actually bought this and I gotta say: the game list is actually good. There's some classic games in there that you can play with your friends.

You can buy cheap convertible adapters, HDMI to VGA, HDMItoAV, AvtoHDMI, and then mix them properly, you can see the PAL quality on a VGA Monitor, because Adapter can receive the PAL signals.
720p is good on modern TV. This console is not that powerful to play 1080p native
Can you load your own games on the SD card?
The video quality is ok buy most games flicker really badly
alien double stupid was toejam and earl which is honestly a pretty damn good alternative name for it lmao
I love how the knife just despawned at 11:03 😂
With the "bloke" and the "game" in there got me 😭love the aussieness
It looks like the non-volatile storage is just the microSD card, which you should be able to image with something else.
you go into retroarch and change controls settings for kof set the buttons for a=b b=a c=y d=x once set all the games should work, i think the game stick default was that
as long as the boot loader is not encrypted and what not that rockchip can hum along at 1.3 ghz with an overclock . and it helps ALOT
this product really feels like the definition of "it tries". not terrible. not great. but relatively cheap and you'd probably get a laugh out of it.
My boy has a family pocket GP-40 that he connects to his TV. I bet this is much better for his use case and actually runs more games.
I find these little gadgets interesting. Thanks for the review!
This is my first retro console. I wonder if i can take another memory card and install another console os with more emulators.

I love that game and the music is SO good.
Before Diamond actually came out, I was playing that on emulators and it just had this really janky vibe to it being passed off as "official" but just a reskin of another game. It was pretty good for the time. Haven't played it in AGES!
@@SMOOREZ I actually have been playing it since like the year 2002 on the same emulator (Rew) and i still love to play it. The music is so good because is the same composer as Castlevania 1 (Kinuyo Yamashita) and i was gifted the game guide too and it has very nice art. The mangas are expensive though....
Its a reskin of Keitai Denjuu Telefang Power Version and Jade of Speed version. Both games are pretty good and the monsters even have a personality and friendship mechanic.
Also, thanks for your reply, you are one of my favorite youtubers. Salutes to you and Ripley (She is adorable).
I just ordered one, I am going to be using a plug to power the device because both my firesticks play up if I power by tv USB, no problems on a plug. So fingers crossed.
Technically yes there are CRTs with HDMI on it however by that logic both the Xbox Series Consoles and PS5 support CRTs by the fact that these TVs exist
They have def jam fight for NY on there ? Please reply I need to know
Sagem, the brand that was bought by Samsung or Nokia like 15 years ago
4:37 Thats Necalli
6:04 You guessed Cammy right
I have ordered one of these, I intend to use a plug to power it rather than the tv, I have to do this with my firesticks or I have issues, so j am hoping using a plug will reduce or remove some of the issues people having. Seen somenine use a plug, load street fighter, it was perfect.
just wondering is there a way to swap out the controllers?
I have the model up from it, the 'GD10' which features, allegedly, 2GB RAM and an aigame905L CPU. I've not taken it apart to check.
N64 and PS1 games are a crapshoot, but pretty much everything else runs quite well.
If anyone buys one, I heartily recommend imaging the SD card, and burning that image onto one that isn't a wafer of shit. Other than that, it's great fun revisiting the Megadrive and SNES games I played with my kids when they were younger.
ROM legality aside, I paid £35 for mine, they're now £21. There's many hours to be had enjoying retro gaming. My TV looks quite good with it. Perhaps the CPU is a little whuftier in the GD10?
I've had no issues with the controllers.
ps. I've just bought a Powkiddy v90 for shits and giggles.
Would not get decent PS1 emulation for less than $60 . $30 is price range of SNES and MegaDrive.
Alien Double Stupid was ToeJam & Earl, you can see the image on the screen.
Ho Smoorez you did a video on custom firmware for this tick retroarch could you send a link to me please.
You can compare Apples and Oranges, but at the end of the day,
I think if you can find 10-20 games that play Half Decently, then you got your monies worth for $30.00 -
$30.00!, isn't it worth at least that, for a kid to have some fun?
Does it have rewind function?
when i connect mine to my tv, it just says no signal. can someone help?
"Wireless pair battle"
that's what happens when you have 2 RC cars that use the same protocol and you get interference from your friends radio. J\K but "wireless pair battle" is hilarious, so is the picture of two guys dancing with photoshopped PS gamepads in their hands.
Also, FINALLY a device that allows me to game on my graphoscope.
What? You don't own a graphoscope?
"Alien Double Stupid" is right up there with the best bootleg game titles i've heard.
And if you're not grinding one box, then you're cheating on the other boxes you grind on. Have a little respect for your box, and please, for your boxes sake, if you choose to grind on more than one box, use protection.
My favorite Engrish game title i saw on an EBAY listing is subtle, yet full of chuckles: "NBA Basketball Jam"
Probably worth $30AUS just for the two controllers, Although the item itself would be better replaced with a Raspberry Pi running Batocera.
ETA well it would have been had the RaspPi prices not gone completely nuts!
So can you plug in a multi USB dongle to the stick to connect arcade sticks or would it not work
Kinda like a usb multi tap
i want to see actual retroarch running on this thing. the version that you put on a rasperry pi
Have any button layouts for the different consoles??? So confused
I’m looking for one with a working 1998 Star Wars Trilogy Arcade. Don’t know if it’s included? Thanks for any info
That was the PlayStation version of Tekken 3 not the arcade version btw big giveaway was the other mode selections available at the main menu 😀
I got this for 80pln tought one day is this gon be dog water but when it arrived i got so excited and went to play my fav adventure game
Is it possible to change the aspect ratio ? The video being stretched out is really annoying.
My dad got me one, and I’m hoping to mod it, just gotta wait till someone figures it out and does it for me
Seeing a gadgets internals are satisfying
Because whyt ppl are aliens
15:35 Such beautiful music.
Lack of Ripley cameo makes me a sad panda.
Ripley is a Sony fan girl and she's very disappointed that he reversed the PlayStation buttons. She'll get over it; but it's going to take lots of bribery on Shane's part. Possibly up to two cans of tuna, even!
Can i connect arcade stick box with it because i don't like wireless controller i have two arcade stick wire .
Please tell me
Power outage archive means that if your net is down, it has memory space to save your games until you have power again, is my guess. Just a guess from years of reading the instructions, and realizing is usually really is pointless, as they're barely English.
yo man your pfp is really cool B)
So if you found one at a return store for $8 would it be worth giving it to your kid or something for Christmas or something?
So mine comes in on Saturday...I am kinda leary on it ...
Hello controller not working when installing retroarch on gamestick how to fix it.
Is there any way to save games? The save state option seems to do nothing
Mine saves but if I turn the stick off, all my saves are gone when I play again. Very frustrating.
I'm really confused my game stick lite won't show up when I put it in my hdmi port
Where do you find the game to download and the instructions I got none were in English, so I feel like I was scammed out of my money because I don't know how to get the games on this thing or how to hook it up
Oh, the thing aliexpress advertises to me every SINGLE *DAY*
If its stock up what did you do. Thats mu problem it always stock up 😭
doies does it have a filter that smoothes cthe gprahics? on the pixel games and over all liek sega and aall i jhave the x2 plus but i hate the filter that they forced on it
I was given one of these but I can't even get the menu screen to load. Are these known for being problematic that way?
Well, for the device, it's not bad, pretty good for 8-bit and 16-bit emulation. Not much use other than that, maybe to control the light of your house, some automation, but that's just about it as the CPU is very weak in today's standard (not even good for 1080p TH-cam playback). $30 is actually on par, but a little bit expensive in my opinion.
I need a power outage archive so I can archive power in case I need to archive power.
can we use different pads for this? like any classic knob joystick?
what hardware does it run?
This one has some of the best Chinglish I've seen
