I have another version of this device and thought that I would share a few take aways. First and foremost, I have seen other videos that totally rag on the controllers being crap, which they are not all that great, but, as someone who was around during the hey day of the Atari 2600 when it first came out, I can tell you that you really don't know what a crappy controller is until you have played with some of those that we had back in the day that were just garbage, yet, we managed to have a good time none the less. Seeing the changes happen through the years from what it was to what it is today, the differences in terms of the controllers alone are night and day to say the least.
I also have to agree with everyone saying that the older systems, such as the Atari 2600, ColecoVision, Genesis and the like, those games work pretty well on these little devices. In all honesty, I bought the one that I have because I wanted to play the games from when I was a kid a million years ago and just have some old fashioned fun. Just like music can take you back and make you remember a time and place, so can video games, especially the ones that you played all the time, such as River Raid for me. The first system I ever bought for myself personally with my own money was the Sega Genesis, and, of course, the first game I bought was Mortal Kombat. I quite literally have all three versions of the Sega Genesis system and all work, so, if I really want to get that old school feel and gameplay, I can slide the cartridge in and turn one on and play all day long.
This brings me to the overall problem with emulation. No matter what they do, how they present it or how far the technology goes, you will never have the same experience as you would with the real deal originals. As some have said about the PS1 games on these systems, to include the sound for these games would increase the storage space required and subsequently lower the number of games that can be put on these devices as a whole. Then you have to take into account that different hardware is going to respond to different emulators differently, meaning that you are never really going to get a true to life emulation of some of the systems without having to break the bank in terms of hardware. Which brings be to the biggest thing to consider. If you look at the cost of these devices, like the one I bought a couple of years back that cost just shy of $50 on AliExpress, and it comes with 33424 video games on a micro SD card, take into consideration and account that as the system requirements for the more modern games increases, the potential for the video games to run smoothly is going to diminish, if not totally drop off. I knew going in when I bought the one that I did that the device would run the systems I wanted to play, the older ones like the Atari, Genesis, NES, etc, were going to run fine, so, when I came across a game from a more recent device that didn't run well, I didn't really worry about it, so when you go into these things you have to take that into consideration. The other thing you have to take into consideration when buying these devices is to divide the cost by the number of games and what you will come up with is that you are paying fractions of pennies on the dollar for these games, so, if one doesn't work you are not really out all that much aside from being disappointed. But, at the same time, you have to know going in that the device is only capable of so much, beyond that point it simply is not going to work well regardless of the emulator that is used.
All of this kind of reminds me of when clients of ours were buying up all of these little Netbook computers because they were small and cheap, thinking that it was going to be this total system replacement for their desktop computer. We tried telling people that they have a lot of limitations while having a lot of potential uses, but, people bought them, found out that they could not do what they wanted the system to do and then complained about the system. It is the same thing that I see with these little devices, they have a place, they have a use and they have their capabilities, if you can accept what they can do and what they cannot do and can pick them up for a reasonable price, great, but, if you do not want to accept that there is a high probability that the device is not going to do more modern games and then complain about it, then who is really to blame for that?
NES Scanlines: Set the shader to "none", then it will just be the clean crisp pixels. You can do this as a global option, or set it per system, or set it per game.
The legend of emulation is here
Techdweeb to the rescue!!! saving Padawan RGT85 from the clutches of evil scanlines !
It's pretty easy !
tech dweeb is the real king of emulation
I can't for the life of me figure out how to get rid of them. Is there a video tutorial somewhere?
I have the super console X cube from kinhank and I love it. Some games dont play perfectly but for the price it's a great little console to have in a bedroom to play some retro games before bed or when your laying around on a lazy Sunday afternoon lol.
I have the super console X2 pro and it’s very good generally. I use mine for arcade games which it does without problems. I was impressed that it can do the super scalers from sega plus rail shooters. It’ll do Tate mode and works with my arcade stick for shmups. Not everything works or works well but 90% works as it should. 8/10.
I really appreciate your review. I have bought a past kinhank release and had a similar experience. I was watching to see if your review would be skewed since it was sent directly to you from the developer, but you stayed true to yourself and I think gave an accurate fair review. Really appreciate you giving valid and unfiltered feedback. I know it must be tough in these situations when a company gives you something to review. You dont want to trash a product, it sounded like you gave good constructive criticism. Hopefully they want to improve the user experience and its not just a cash grab when it comes to their long term vision.
Hey Shawn I saw your hat and just had to say Let's Go Heat!
This is the type of content I expect to see from a Super Console X4 TH-camr.
I have the old versions and they are amazing to me for what it is for the price. I think it's a 90's kids dream system.
I have the Super Console X3 Plus. For your PS1 games I wonder if you have the rewind feature enabled? I was having issues with my PS1 games running slow too but I figured out that I had the rewind feature turned on and apparently that causes a lot of performance issues for the PSX emulator on the console. Once I disabled the rewind feature my PS1 games ran smoothly.
Got one in eBay for $60 I like it but Nintendo 64 sucks an only 19 Dreamcast games smh an we can't save everything
I can explain some of the performance issues. Some games rely more on CPU while others rely more on GPU power. Depending on the output of each component and what game you're trying to play, It'll either run silky smooth or slow to a crawl. This is why PC guys recommend decent specs for both
My 6 favorite systems of all time in the thumbnail love 90s gaming
We have the Super Console Cube X3 and like it a lot. Going to wait to see if one gets released with the NES style case like the X3.
Finally, a TH-camr retro gamer who doesn’t like stupid CRT filters 🤯. Great video.
Thanks RGT. This is what I have been looking for. I will be buying this.
Don't connect it to the internet it has malware
@@alexenochss like everything else these days
@@Xanatos0504
No lol not everything. Weird response.
I would like to see you review some of the GIANT sized hard drives.. do they have a majority of the newer libraries? Do they really run if you have the right workstation? Get one of those 16TB HDD systems
I hated scan-lines at first with emulation until I was emulating with the steam deck and the setup showed scan-lines and no scan-lines side by side. In certain games, the scan-lines make the sprite look a lot better. These sprites were made with scan-lines in mind, so you lose some of the detail when you take them out.
yes but it doesn't look as good as real CRT TVs usually.
You play on a steamdeck?! Lol embarrassing
Why?
Everyone's favorite Emulation TH-camr
Might have to pick this up 😁 🦆🦆🦆
Still searching for the ultimate plug and play through gen 5? Any recommendations
I had one of these and thought that an update would fix some of the problems. So, I let it run an update and it hasn't worked since. It's a shame that Kinhank doesn't put a little effort in to getting these to be truly plug and play.
7:00 the scan lines are for games that require them for their graphics. A good example is Boulders Gate: Dark Alliance for GBA. Try playing it without scanlines and you’ll quickly see how all the graphics mush together. The scanlines for some games create this false 3D image and without them, everything becomes a mushed together 2D collage.
is carmageddon 1 on it? would be nice to play that again since back in the day you needed a special graphics card or something just to make it run good?
Hi, thanks for the review, how much time does the controller batteries last?
Screw scaan lines! I'm going on 53. Years old and started my video game obsession before atari2600 with a RadioShack pong game... I love the nostalgia of older video games but give me a crisp clean high definition picture all the time!
yeah the music speeds up to in the original Super Street fighter 2 Turbo... I know this because when I bought the Capcom/street fighter collection for PS2.. it did the exact same thing on SSF2Turbo!
Lemme tell yah thats a very interesting box for sure. I think I would advise anyone wanting this level of emulation and maybe a little bit more to get a steam deck because I feel like it worth the investment and the set up of emulation on the deck. You can also dock to a big screen so its a win win tbh! Thanks again Shawn and keep up the good work!
Steam deck price was is nowhere near comparable to this. I agree the steamdeck is a great device but this thing is barely over $100. You're spending 3x as much for a Steamdeck dude
Yeah my Steam Deck is actually my primary emulation device. I love being able to play roms both on the TV and on the go. Not to mention being able to play my Steam library. Definitely worth it for anyone who has the extra dough
Road Rash 3do was a unique Road Rash and the best one ive ever played. Best game on 3do for me.
Received my X4 Plus today. First impressions are good. Only downside is I can't figure out how to get audio through the headphone socket when running Emulec (I've tried changing the audio device to 0,0, 0,1, 1,1 etc). Works fine when running in Android mode.
Hi after you tried with a lot of frustration to take off the edge lines while the game is running then kindly write here what is the procedure? Thank you
You actually have me wanting one of these
That’s too I was hopeful at the beginning of the vid. Thanx though. Great review.
Can you play these at ade boxes using a joystick set up , also do they have controller mapping?
Rgt your awesome thanks for the info and thats a real kool knicks hat you have
Great little device to throw in a Arcade 1up
We need a review of all 90000 games! 😂
@RGT 85 do you think you could do a video showing off your hat collection?
RGT's a big Sega fan, but has he ever covered the Yakuza series?
It's good to see our favorite Nintendo TH-camr branching out into other areas.
How do you translate the controls for consoles for say like the intellivision that used the overlays on the controllers?
I’ve been considering one of these type of consoles. Seems worthwhile anyway.
Is there a listing of all the Saturn and Dreamcast games that are included in this thing?
I have bought super console HNX3 like this one in the video but I have lags with PSP and Dream Cast games, what is the solution please
Now if only we could get something like this in a handheld/portable rig, that'd be great. Because I don't have a TV to connect this to, & probably won't have for some time.
They remove music on playstation games on these not to improve performance, but to decrease file size. If one was so inclined they could put their own playstation games on here with music. I'd check and see if there's some kind of playstation upscaling involved. Normally playstation runs good on these.
Just out of curiosity do they have midway arcade games on these systems?
Hi,.I was watching you video! I got mine but for some reason the remote is not working I can't turn it on! Any idea how to fix it?
Do they have one of these with every wrestling game on it?
Does this have PC engine or turbo graphix games? If not is there agood retro console that does? Thx
@rgt85
Please review more portable retro systems such as Retroid 🤘
I would die to have both a handheld and home console pre loaded with every SNES and PS1 JRPG. If it could fit more RPGs and/or other genres thatd be even better but i at least want all my childhood RPGs. Ive tried twice in my life to accomplish this. The first time someone converted my Wii. I spent 200 bucks around 2010ish, played 2 retro games and then yried to play the new Zelda so it updated itself and wiped all the games off. Yeara later i spent a whole week watching a youtuber who reviews all the handhelds. I finally chose 1 and played it for about an hour because some games were preloaded. After trying for 4 hours to load games i simply couldnt fogure it out so i put it on a desk and went outside. Apparently you can NEVER let the battery get to zero or it will never turn back on. So ive spent about 400 dollars to play 4 retro games for a total of a couple hours.
RGT 85 needas to review the Anbernic 405M if he is really the king of emulation he is reviewing all the cheap stuff lol
I’m curious as to why you don’t use the controllers that come with the rest of it. Then we don’t have any idea as to how good/bad the controllers are, and if they may affect the game play.
Hi, I need a retro Pacman game. Obviously the joystick is the greatest of all time controller. But no other game other than pacman. Not any new version, but the old version of Pacman (not Miss Pacman or any other version) to play on my desktop Mac or even TV. Do you have any idea where I could find one?
I brought the last emulator that you recommended the super console x. It gets ridiculously hot after half hour, starts to glitch and freezes on screen. Very cheap and cheerful product, but it's a fire hazard
That's why got this one I have the old one two and this has a cooling fan
Shawn you into MMORPG's at all? their retro?
why do the consoles take the music out of the console? ist it for copyrighte reasons?
128$ on amazon! seems really high... was it always this expensive or did they increase the price? There are some other options for around 50-60$ so...
Cruisn’ USA was very choppy as an actual copy. Had those issues you mentioned on the actual N64
So what do you think is the best retro emulators with wrestling games on it
I always see you guys test the consoles. But I was wondering about old arcade games how do they play? Pacman Ms pac man asteroids stuff like that?
You gotta combine your love of arcades and modding and get an atgames Legends Ultimate modded :)
I just want one of these with all the n64 and GameCubes games. I already got one with snes games
3:53 That's him, that's... that's Klonoa!
Do it have space jams for sega Saturn or ps1?
How do you pair a ps3 or xbox 360 controller to this unit?
Do you have an emulator system that you would recommend?
Are all of the panzer games included?
I lost count... How many emulation devices did you buy at this point :P ?
Not going to lie.. was more interested when the thumbnail made it look like a Power Morpher...
What emulator system do you recommend?
I love certain artificial scan lines in retroarch. In fact I use them for all sprite based games (which is a lot of my retro gaming)
easymode halation all day.
I love scanlines too but I think running them at very high resolutions like 4k is when you’ll get very good results. At a lower res like 720p they look kinda bad.
Id want it just for the cave shooters. Ive never seen one of these with a slot just for cave
Just a note, "they turn off the music" on these games to save space on the SD card. Essentially they leave the music files out of the rom installation so they can fit more games on. I think it's a crap move as it's half the enjoyment of the games listening to the music, especially on Tony Hawks!
The best model they have is the super console x king from all the gameplay ive seen duponts channel do on it. It runs the smoothest and he lets you know what games and work and dont work on these various kinhank systems
What control pad do you use
Can I hook this up to my Arcade 1up? Modifications???
Do you know of any consoles that have Star Wars Battle Pod?
Also, as someone thats bought multiple kinhank consoles, on ps1 they like to use crappy roms for whatever reason. Tekken 3 is notorious. I just delete the rom they have and replace with my own. I realize that takes away from the plug and play mentality of it, but thats just what they use for ps1 for whatever reason.
How im looking for the most complete plug and play hdmi console that has complete list of retro consoles, mame and everything from neo geo.
Does this have online capabilities as far as any multiplayer?
Can you just plug in to tv or does it has to be pc???
Can you save progress in games on this?
Nice video ! Sub & Big Like ! And love retro games.
That system looks okay. Last night through my Google Feed I discovered Ring of Honor wrestling. It had some very interesting wrestlers and interviewers. Seemed alright.
Is there a place where I can find the complete game list?
Hey Shawn does retro dookie play
Wrestlefest do you know the minis the mini retro handhelds
Ah i always needed a dating sim in my meed for speed game 😂
You're right, I hate scan lines too.
I feel like one of these ever really hit the mark for a 100% all around good emulation product. You should make your emulation device lol and sell it to me.
Consistency is definitely key if they got one running smoothly for everything it would sell like hot cakes
hot cakes
@@pvsweetypie delicious hot cakes 🤤
Illegal Chinese hot cakes.
How many PC Engine games and Dreamcast games on there?
Does it have International Superstar Soccer by Konami?
I'm seriously considering getting a super console like Arcadian Console, but I fear a scam or problems with my console. I want every game from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.
Can I connect Pandora’s box arcade fight sticks to this ?
Shaders are the crown jewels of Retroarch.
i bought a super console x a couple years ago and playstation and dreamcast work great, only system that didnt play right was N64
i know alot of people dont like my solution but.. my pc runs everything fantastic. and we have great internet (3gbps). everything is hard wired with Ethernet and i have apple tvs as my tv boxs. i just stream my pc games to my apple tv, double press the sync button on my xbox controller and it switches between my pc and apple tv. there is the tiniest bit of input lag, but that only bothers me in competitive e-sports in witch case id be sitting at my desk to use my mouse and keyboard. but for family games and/or single player games, i dont mind the setup at all :)
Problem with emulation scanlines is they never look as good as a real CRT TV so better clean.
Is there any I can get with Saints row on. Not looking for kid games.
Is there a list of games for this console?
Road rash was the best game on the 3DO and the main reason I picked it up and then gex the gecko lol.
