I would really like to get one, but your affiliate and amazon link only show a search page. Any way you can link to the specific product? There are so many variations and I want to make sure I'm getting the one you're recommending in your video. Thank you for any help!
Saw this the other day, but came back to watch it again and comment. Bravo! Love seeing these because I dont know many ppl making these and I love seeing them. Going to be getting a setup similar in the not too far future.
Excellent content. Solid point all well taken. Excellent depiction on the ROMset breakdown and allocation on that memory card and how simple it is to move/add/ modify ROMS and resolution options within emulation station. Thanks again
I considered buying the GT King but seeing I already had a great collection of ROM's decided to buy the Nvidia Shield instead. OK your not getting Emuelec and all the fancy graphics but to me the Shield is still the king of emulation boxes, plus you can switch easily from playing your games to watching TH-cam etc. Loving your channel Techdweeb. It's the funniest real retrogaming / modern gaming show on TH-cam. Nice work fella.
Love the intro also. Literally LOLd at work after your little play. Quick question. Have you ever considered doing a give away for your collections of devices you don't use? That would be fun. Especially since you won't show us what's behind the door.
Really cool review. For $280 now it’s a little high considering it’s also just a black box like you said. I would have liked more Saturn Games. Nice that you can edit the frame per second and resolution. I have an Odroid Xu4 with Emulation Station and can’t change any of those settings. Subscribed!
I have a ps4 and recently bought a PX4 Emulation box for under 100 USD. and I honestly love it, currently playing metroid at the moment and also just beat Castlevania Aria of sorrow. Love emulation: Its cheap, accessible and you get to play great games and play games you couldn't afford as a kid, well in my case anyway.
I definitely enjoy these videos. I have bought a few emulation boxes. I started with the original scx and i ended up bricking it then bought the cheapest one i could find for $37 shipped. It worked fine until the cheap SD card failed. Since i never learned to use a PC (i may the last guy) i couldn't copy the card so then i bought a different brand scx box branded "heynow". This one is the s905x3 and i can tell the difference. This one has been working good for over a year. I found a friend to copy the SD card immediately but this one is holding up. I'm happy with what i have but wish i would have bought the one in this video. After owning scx for so long i feel the extra power the king has is worth the money. The x3 actually does a good job but I definitely would prefer better. I honestly thought the king was the same box with a skull on the case. This video was very helpful thanks Tech Dweeb
Hahahaha your review was absolutely hilarious XD I love the Dweeb persona, including the D20 dice etc on the table... "It has an audio jack... eh, I mean hole, headphone hole" hahaha. Plus informative! Subscribed. Cheers
Primal Rage was one of my favourite fighting games on the SNES growing up, especially with it being one of the only five SNES games my grandmother had at her apartment (two of the other five being Caesar's Palace and Vegas Stakes... Vegas Stakes was genuinely really entertaining tho). When I played the game with my brother, we didn't even try to fight each other, we just tried to eat the humans.
5:20 boot up music is a metal rendition of Bloody Tears from Castlevania II, perhaps the most famous 8-bit track of all time. I think I remember you aren't a Castlevania guy lol
For us old fogies, can you show some original arcade PacMan, Ms PacMan, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, Defender one day, or include them in future game performance reviews. That would be cool. Thx. Loving your channel, by the way.
Fantastic video! Even though I know how to curate my own collections I still watched this. Seems like a decent device for those that aren't too tech savvy and just want to plug it in and start playing games! Meanwhile, what's up with some of the Dungeons and Dragons dice? Woops! I'm leaking out my dweebness!
@TechDweeb You're the best. Thanks. I'm making one with the HK1 Box Android TV box. I'll just use RetroArch so I can still use the other functions of this device. I just bought it super cheap online. Maybe it's not selling that well now because they are gave me the free air mouse with it which I didn't order. They just want to dispose there stock.
I bought the Super Console X-Pro as an easy to pack,easy to set up system i could take anytime i was away ie family or hotel stays and it more than lived up to what i was expecting…now after three years of owning it I’m looking for a replacement that will play more recent consoles up to PS2 like the Saturn,Game Cube and Dreamcast,so the King is definitely worth keeping an eye on
The Y6. Yeah it's good. I don't like it more than these android console versions, but the Y6 is the best super cheap emulation stick that is actually good.
I`ve played Nuts and Milk as a kid. It was one of those games you`d see packed with other simple, arcade style games (like Lode Runner, Mario Bros., Ice Climbers etc.) on multi-games cartriges. I can`t say i love it or even particularly like it, but it definitely is nostalgic, and it`s not like the game itself is bad.
Hey Fellow Dweeb! I recently discovered your channel, probably via the algorithm of similar nerdophile interests I have. You are the King of my tech views lately, my liege. I've done emulation on my Mac/Windows/Linux builds - and, being honest, it is sometimes an overwhelming affair. I need to dig deeper into your retro-gaming catalog - but I love putting older systems to work running these ROMs from yesteryear... I bet you've done something I haven't poked at, but I'd like to see some retro-PC (2010-2016) retro-gaming... A way to save the current scrapyard of home PCs that are neglected, disrespected, and sent to a eCycle... I bet you've already done it... but... if not... ALSO I EXPECT RPG CONTENT OUT OF YOU AT SOME POINT - I know you haven't done this, but that much polyhedral virtue signalling... Hmmm... You don't even test RPG games much.... Shame.
Welcome Dweeb! Yeah I have a few low-end PC emulation thingies. Like this recent one. th-cam.com/video/y44FNj0irYk/w-d-xo.html I have the next one of that series in the works now. Actually RPGs are my main type of game that I play. I don't test them much I guess because they're slower and less flashy. I propbably should show more of em.
@@TechDweeb Well, yeah, and RPGs can be kinda niche too... I've actually been toying around with making some TH-cam stuff - but my chef life (and being a home haunter for Halloween) keeps me pretty busy... But I'm hoping to get my haunt barn open enough in mid-summer to do a "Crypt of Computers" homage to both horror movie hosts and tech videos. It's a weird crossover, but I basically have sets that would work... Really enjoying your stuff, and I checked out a bunch of your emulation stuff last night after work. Thanks and keep it up :)
I noticed the games you showed have no bezels included which is different from the KinHank version of the Super Console X King. So if having bezels pre-configured is important to you then the KinHank version of this product would be a better choice than the JMachen version.
As I understand it, the kinhank version is filmed with 5-6-8 copies/versions of the same games. To inflate game-count to 117K. That means many hours of deleting if You wan’t a somewhat clean games list compared to this. (I might be wrong, I’m trying to figure out wich Box to get myself and Watch many reviews 🤷🏻♂️)
so Dweebie my friend from the north, For thine xmas I got the Rbg30, white, I love it, RP3Flip, very powerful , but it's complicated, no mic, bummer , but was a pleasure exporting launchbox from my gaming pc, a fly experience , the FMC 40th anniversary controller works great. not a daily runner, bluetooth drop_outs, battery issues on day two, I dig the the little thing, but I also may banish it to the china cupboard, Rgb 30 takes the prize , it's a smooth legit new ride, thanks my friend )
4:30 - I'm the opposite. I could do without the skull, but if I were to buy a little android box, I'd want it to look as generic as possible. This is a great form factor, IMO.
Thanks buddy! Um, I think any of these sorts of emulation boxes are fine tbh. They all have the same controllers, with a few exceptions. You can usually find the games lists online, or at least reach out to the company and ask for the games list (They have always provided it to me whenever I've asked). I'd go for something like this, or the Hyper Base FC, anything with a larger amount of storage (because that means they are more likely to have the full MAME romset). Did you see the vid where I turned the Super Console X into an arcade cabinet? th-cam.com/video/1BE5jr2grqg/w-d-xo.html
Yes, you can save multiple games at once (you can toggle the save state, and it's probably bound to a hotkey, but if it's not you can bind it yourself). And I personally WOULD go for the 256gb version over the smaller one, because for the extra price it's worth it to me not to have to NEED to copy over extra games. And the bigger size SD cards aren't padded with duplicates, you'll just get more of the higher end systems (the CD based systems, because those games are larger in size). Hope this helps!
I had this same problem too with dreamcast not playing, it's not the roms.. I forget what it was! I think it was if you take off booting from the bios or something, but it works!
@@TechDweeb Tinker around in the retroarch settings for the core, I had the same issue booting up to that screen, there's a way around it, I just wish I remembered what it was.
I backed an old Kickstarter that put a tiny Linux Emulation Station machine in an NES cart. You'd probably love it. Downside was I never learned enough about Linux to configure controls or activate/setup the power button. Ah well. I'd be willing to share it if you wanted to review it. But this box looks pretty good and am curious what else it can run. If its struggling with PSP at 3x then how could it hope to run anything higher. Good review and am going to check out their products. Thanks Tech Dweeb, and I really dig all the Tabletop dice you decorate your scenes with. Have you done anything with Tabletop? 📝
Either is fine. Amazon is always a good choice because you get it quick and can return easily if problems. But often it's cheaper through the manufacturer.
SUPER easy. It's all built into emulation station. All you need is a little usb splitter/hub/dongle and setup each controller through the frontend, they SHOULD automatically work in the games after that.
i am a bit confused- why call the Hyper Base King a "console" if it needs to be connected to a computer to work? Isn't a "console" able to play its games directly plugged in to a screen, without the need for a computer? I am just really confused with the vocabulary we are seeing and I am sure I am not the only one. Or maybe it looks at 5:00 like you are plugging it to your computer but maybe you are not ? Can you please clarify? it's awfully confusing. Thanks buddy
not a negative! but- has anyone told you that you sound like a male Froppy? (the frog chick from My Hero Academia) She's legit my favorite character next to Bakugo lol good video man! 👊 and you are pretty funny lol
Hi again.with the other console thing I just changed themes all good.on another different subject.i wanna play my jamma arcade with multiple games on TV.my TV has vga in and 3.5 jack but on jamma box doesn't have 3.5 out only vga out.only the 3 colours green blue and other for 3.5.i just wanna plug vga out from jamma box into TV and play like in front of TV with arcade controls and bypass crt inbuilt tv as it's cocktail and on wheels.i use the green 3.5 output on jamma board for headphones.works awesome.please help.i know u can.
Can anyone please confirm if there’s any lag between the controllers and the game play? I’ve purchase 2 Emulators already only to be really disappointed by the latency. Just want a machine that is super responsive. Also does this come with 2 controllers? Can I use wireless or plugin controllers with it? Huge thanks in advance for any replies/help
Were the emulators you purchased before android consoles? If so then you should be able to do something about the lag. Under the retoarch menu, in the settings under "video" make sure to turn "threaded rendering" off. That is a BIG help with the latency. You can also adjust the latency settings of the quick menu. Try setting the polling rate to early or late. And make sure you disable any shaders or screen filters. That should make it much more quick and snappy.
I'd still go for a way cheaper mini pc, but while I'd actually enjoy putting in the work to make it into a console, I understand most people wouldn't. Or simply can't, it's not something everyone has knowledge, time, patience or love for. Or they want something diminutive, invisible and completely silent. Considering the price of the GT King itself, even the price isn't bad. Me, I'd still have way too much fun making my own device though.
This one can definitely handle the Dreamcast version of MvC2. Most of them will actually. I'd say this Hyper Base King or the Super Console Cube X3 would be good choices.
oof... Id love this if Dreamcast worked right out of the box, better yet though, can this device load custom firmware/software? For example I got the Anbernic RG351V and I installed ArkOS on it when I got it. Could this device do something similar?
Hard to say. This runs android 9, so you can load up anything that runs on android 9, but for custom OS's like emulationstation you need to have a custom build that matches the exact hardware you're using. So I doubt ArkOS would work out of the gate unless they have a build specifically for the s922x chip. That's be awesome though!
This was an excellent review and thank you!!! Have you heard of the Retro Gaming Haven ETROPIE RETRO GAMING CONSOLE - 512GB - OVER 150,000 GAMES OVER 70 CONSOLES - EMULATION CONSOLE EMULATOR RETRO GAME CONSOLE? I would love to hear what you have to say about that one!!!
Sega Saturn Nights is the Bomb ! Sadly , I have to edit the .XML list and have a bin copy. Very sadly , 3do isn't on my system , I have the 256GB version
Its more expensive than what is worth. I bought gt king 95€ before 2,5 years and in 11/11 chinese offers the superconsole x2pro with 65€, that's 160 total. I fixed the emuelec for s922sx using the sd card from superx2.120€ cheaper while have what you show +1android box extra (the superx2)
I'm fairly impressed here. I wouldn't have expected it to handle 1080p that well on n64. More importantly though, let's get that Hyperbase FC cartridge decorated, yo! By the way, I need some kind of guide for how arcade games work. I'm so confused between MAME, Final Burn Alpha, etc, blah, blah, blah
Hey @techdweeb - thank you for the video - very helpful! I am looking for some further help. I purchased this console, and am having trouble upscaling the PSX emulator. I can't get my PSX games looking near as good as yours. I have tried Rearmed - don't think there is a way to upscale in this emulator. I can find the upscaling portion inside the settings of Duckstation and Swanstation, but after selecting a higher resolution, and restarting the game, it doesn't seem to change - still seems to be low res. I have also tried shaders to make the PSX games look better with limited success. Would really love to see if you have some guidance.
It doesn’t seem like much of an improvement from the year old Super Console X King I already have… Maybe in another 3 - 4 years they will add more systems and games.
Yeah it's probably pretty much the same as that unit, maybe a slightly different games list but the same performance because it's based on the same Android box
AVGN had his own video game, why not have a Tech Dweeb video game too? I would like to see a crowd funding on a Go Fund Me and see it happen. I'd buy it.
To begin with yes a cracking games box, got it for Christmas and it took 2months to get to the UK, But mines just erased everything by itself inc 37,000 games on the Ed card, I just switched it on one day got halfway through a game then the screen went blank…. 3/4mins later it all reset itself, no more program on the box and the as card was empty so these kind of box’s are so unreliable which I’ve heard it happens a lot with this cheap games box’s I payed over $100 for it😳👎🏻
The JMarchen plug n play windows retro hard River I bought came with our 103.000 game . I've deleted duplicates down to 78.000 games now and I'm still on the letter H roms What makes it so bad they are almost all casino slot and fruit machine games that are totally unplayable as they are just still images
3DO games were great, I don't know what you're talking about. I for one am thankful they include 3DO games. The Star Control 3DO version was better than the PC game version. Space Hulk and Road Rash all better on 3DO than playstation.
@@TechDweeb That's cool! Yeah the 3DO system was a great gaming console that was really overlooked by many people back in the day. It's probably my all time favorite gaming platform next to PC.
I tried to use a 32x upgrade on a JVC XEYE, it was technically incompatible with the cd swing door and I really only got it for doom... Meh has an addendum to it's definition.
I would really like to get one, but your affiliate and amazon link only show a search page. Any way you can link to the specific product? There are so many variations and I want to make sure I'm getting the one you're recommending in your video. Thank you for any help!

I am just really confused with the vocabulary we are seeing and I am sure I am not the only one. Or maybe it looks at 5:00 like you are plugging it to your computer but maybe you are not ? Can you please clarify? it's awfully confusing. Thanks buddy
Please tell me you kept the crown on it after done recording.
The crown stays. FOREVER.
Can it play GameCube or wii games?
Nope, not on this device. You'll need one of those mini PC based consoles for GC and above.
@@TechDweeb do you have a recommendation for one like that?
Opinion please:
I've recently seen this model with a s905x3 chip...is that more powerful than the x2?😊
The S905x3 and S905x2 are very close in performance. Barely any difference between them
@@TechDweeb Thank you! (Love your content!✌)
not a negative! but- has anyone told you that you sound like a male Froppy? (the frog chick from My Hero Academia)
She's legit my favorite character next to Bakugo lol good video man! 👊 and you are pretty funny lol
Nope haven't heard that one yet! 🐸

Sounds like the only option for you will be to use an active converter.
14:34 What the hell Dweeb I was trying to go to sleep soon.
I wish someone will make a emulation box RPG edition.
From 8 bit up to 6th gen ps2 GameCube.
Would it be possible to play 4player games or is this 2pl only??
Yup! You'll just need some extra controllers and a USB hub to allow you to plug them in.
Daphne Laserdisc games not listed?
From what I can see they're mixed in with the arcade games.
Can anyone please confirm if there’s any lag between the controllers and the game play?
I’ve purchase 2 Emulators already only to be really disappointed by the latency.
Just want a machine that is super responsive.
Also does this come with 2 controllers? Can I use wireless or plugin controllers with it?
Huge thanks in advance for any replies/help
Were the emulators you purchased before android consoles? If so then you should be able to do something about the lag. Under the retoarch menu, in the settings under "video" make sure to turn "threaded rendering" off. That is a BIG help with the latency. You can also adjust the latency settings of the quick menu. Try setting the polling rate to early or late. And make sure you disable any shaders or screen filters. That should make it much more quick and snappy.
I'd still go for a way cheaper mini pc, but while I'd actually enjoy putting in the work to make it into a console, I understand most people wouldn't. Or simply can't, it's not something everyone has knowledge, time, patience or love for. Or they want something diminutive, invisible and completely silent. Considering the price of the GT King itself, even the price isn't bad.
Me, I'd still have way too much fun making my own device though.
I have to ask do it have Trog on it? I’ve been trying to find it to show my daughter
Can you tell me if they have NBA Live for Playstation 1?
I’m really looking for an emulator that plays marvel versus Capcom two is there one day to recommend
This one can definitely handle the Dreamcast version of MvC2. Most of them will actually. I'd say this Hyper Base King or the Super Console Cube X3 would be good choices.
Yes this box looks great it deff worth the money i would buy 1 but i cant buy stuff online never done that before
“Frogs and flies” isn’t that the game they played on that movie “grandma’s boy”?
oof... Id love this if Dreamcast worked right out of the box, better yet though, can this device load custom firmware/software? For example I got the Anbernic RG351V and I installed ArkOS on it when I got it. Could this device do something similar?
Hard to say. This runs android 9, so you can load up anything that runs on android 9, but for custom OS's like emulationstation you need to have a custom build that matches the exact hardware you're using. So I doubt ArkOS would work out of the gate unless they have a build specifically for the s922x chip. That's be awesome though!
when you say "play it with a friend, you'll have fun", who are you playing with to know that?
A friend. Pay attention.
i didnt expect $279.99 . . . . . . .
Nice! Looks like a great little machine!
No power button?
its retro, whats it like for commodore64 typre games??
This was an excellent review and thank you!!! Have you heard of the Retro Gaming Haven ETROPIE RETRO GAMING CONSOLE - 512GB - OVER 150,000 GAMES OVER 70 CONSOLES - EMULATION CONSOLE EMULATOR RETRO GAME CONSOLE? I would love to hear what you have to say about that one!!!
I haven't heard about it but I'll look into it!
is this better than the pi4
Thank you Mclovin
Does this system have Nobunagas Ambition?
Can you usb in game pads?
Yup!
Are there any of these boxes that have the full set of pc-engine cds both the US and Japanese? I loved Future Boy Conan
Forget the Amlogic Chipset S922x or S905X3/2 as the RockChip RK3588 and RK3588S kick thier arse
Orange Pi 5, Rock Pi5, and Android H96 Max V58 TV Box
the video doesn’t have cc 😢
It will, TH-cam just needs time to auto-generate the CCs.
where did you get this its sold out everywhere lol
Sega Saturn Nights is the Bomb ! Sadly , I have to edit the .XML list and have a bin copy.
Very sadly , 3do isn't on my system , I have the 256GB version
This android box has been on sale for years under the name beeline gt king
Its more expensive than what is worth. I bought gt king 95€ before 2,5 years and in 11/11 chinese offers the superconsole x2pro with 65€, that's 160 total. I fixed the emuelec for s922sx using the sd card from superx2.120€ cheaper while have what you show +1android box extra (the superx2)
Could you let me know if streetfighter the movie the game the arcade version is on this system
anyone know what skin that is?
I'm fairly impressed here. I wouldn't have expected it to handle 1080p that well on n64. More importantly though, let's get that Hyperbase FC cartridge decorated, yo! By the way, I need some kind of guide for how arcade games work. I'm so confused between MAME, Final Burn Alpha, etc, blah, blah, blah
That is a GREAT idea for a video!
@@TechDweeb Cool! I really do hope you do that 🙂 I'd look forward to it!!!
you should get a surface duo for DS emulation
Awesome this is going on my list.
Does it have nfl blitz?
love the TTRPG vibe
Hey @techdweeb - thank you for the video - very helpful! I am looking for some further help. I purchased this console, and am having trouble upscaling the PSX emulator. I can't get my PSX games looking near as good as yours. I have tried Rearmed - don't think there is a way to upscale in this emulator. I can find the upscaling portion inside the settings of Duckstation and Swanstation, but after selecting a higher resolution, and restarting the game, it doesn't seem to change - still seems to be low res. I have also tried shaders to make the PSX games look better with limited success. Would really love to see if you have some guidance.
Has it got No Fear mountain biking play station
Frogs and Flies was great. Thanks for reminding me about that game!
It doesn’t seem like much of an improvement from the year old Super Console X King I already have… Maybe in another 3 - 4 years they will add more systems and games.
Yeah it's probably pretty much the same as that unit, maybe a slightly different games list but the same performance because it's based on the same Android box
AVGN had his own video game, why not have a Tech Dweeb video game too? I would like to see a crowd funding on a Go Fund Me and see it happen. I'd buy it.
Oh man that would be like a dream come true!
@TechDweeb Yes sir it would be great. Something to keep me entertained while I'm out working offshore diving.
Your voice sounds like Clint from Hershey 😂
Great video
Waiting for one that does, Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox games. Until the I'll stick with the stuff I've got that already does all this.
Good call. I'm sure we will have much more powerful devices very soon
@@TechDweeb can't be far off
Very disappointed not to have Nights and Bug! On Sega Saturn.
I've got to add Adventures of Robin Hood to my Amiga XML list . That was a great game
To begin with yes a cracking games box, got it for Christmas and it took 2months to get to the UK,
But mines just erased everything by itself inc 37,000 games on the Ed card, I just switched it on one day got halfway through a game then the screen went blank….
3/4mins later it all reset itself, no more program on the box and the as card was empty so these kind of box’s are so unreliable which I’ve heard it happens a lot with this cheap games box’s I payed over $100 for it😳👎🏻
That's the main problem with these android emulation consoles - cheap SD cards :/
The JMarchen plug n play windows retro hard River I bought came with our 103.000 game . I've deleted duplicates down to 78.000 games now and I'm still on the letter H roms
What makes it so bad they are almost all casino slot and fruit machine games that are totally unplayable as they are just still images
What the... This thing has the Intel skulltrail/skull canyon logo on it.
Or like a ripoff of that logo that's been simplified.
Haha you're totally right. I didn't even notice that.
3DO games were great, I don't know what you're talking about. I for one am thankful they include 3DO games. The Star Control 3DO version was better than the PC game version. Space Hulk and Road Rash all better on 3DO than playstation.
You know what, I've never really given it a chance. I will try out the games you suggest!
@@TechDweeb That's cool! Yeah the 3DO system was a great gaming console that was really overlooked by many people back in the day. It's probably my all time favorite gaming platform next to PC.
I tried to use a 32x upgrade on a JVC XEYE, it was technically incompatible with the cd swing door and I really only got it for doom...
Meh has an addendum to it's definition.
Doom resurrection for the 32X is the best way to play it.
