I just got mine last week .. I love it .. the games run smoothly .. lots of imports .. arcade classics … Macross .. mazinger z , king of fighters Godzilla. etc .. well worth it .
lol There are ton of games on there that don’t work. There are games you cannot start. There are games that have glitches in the first level where you can’t even move or get around anything you’re just stuck. A lot of the games lag sitting game play. They don’t all run smoothly. Also since they are emulated some of the games are stretched out and you can’t read words on the top and bottom. As a retro game player since 1981 this game stick is highly subpar. This game stick is garbage good thing it’s an emulator. I ditched all the bad games downloaded all the good roms to mine. My controller back was broken when sent. It’s a pure garbage for emulation untill you mod out the emulator with better roms and better Operation System.
A game review that’s not over 10 minutes? It’s a miracle. I get so tired of hot winded 20 to 30 minute game review videos. Thank you so much for this short to the point video.🎉
Silly question, I tried just plugging it in when I bought it and it did not turn on. I then charged it for several hours and its blue light when on so I tried it on my computer and tv and it will not turn on. Any suggestions as it does not tell you on in the directions.
I bought this, but when you select a game to play you can't pause or exit it. I have to turn off and on my LCD to go back to Main Menu. If you know how to exit please reply
Hi i just received this one and plugged it as required, unfortunately the gaming list is not appearing in my TV, howbto get this game list in the tv? We need to install any application in the tv?
If theres no single button for that try start and select at same time that shouod do it 👍🏻my remotes have a button kinda like the playstation button that brings up that menu but start and select also works
This is an excellent system! I owned about three or four of them which I bought on Temu last year. I paid about $28 at the time, but now I think they’re under $20. I can relate to the video arcade, and spending a ton of money on quarters to entertain myself. But I Don’t have to anymore With this game stick. It’s well worth the money!
iirc u got to keep pressing the middle button and the controller will start blinking, looking for its dongle thing (the little usb thing u plugged into the gamestick).
Having an issue where i cant play any game except PS1 games on this thing. Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this? Im able to enter any game, for example final fantasy 3, but once in the game menu , nothing works, i press all buttons and nothing works except for being able to exit out. On the other hand ps1 titles play well
Had anyone had issues with the remotes connecting? I’m on my second box bc they just keep disconnecting and then I can’t get em back. Also haven’t been able to get on 2 player when they do work for a minute.
Can I lower the sensitivity of the controller? It toggles too fast and in Zelda your shield goes on and off if you click it Won’t last long with that type of controller
Planning on getting this. Just want to make sure Contra was on it. Would be a great birthday present for my mom as I remembered she loved playing that game when I was a kid.
I honestly just ordered the system. It was $16 but it was 20 with tax. I’m really looking forward to this because I brought a Nintendo switch and the games are a bit to pricey
There is no way on earth the M8 Gamestick has Nightmare in the dark, if so I would definitely purchase one, it was one of the best arcade games I played during my childhood.
try connecting your gamestick to an old phone's adapter instead of plugging it on the tv, because the tv's voltage sometimes is too low to power it up.
In the Ad here I bought it stated PSP, but, it's not there. Can it be added? Can this stick be turned into a TV stick - menu at the beginning like firestick, go into TV or games? Thanks
It is originally meant for TVs. I’m not sure about PSP, if it can’t run PS2 games. But, if it does, who knows, maybe PS2 games will BARELY be playable too
I’m looking for one of these or something similar that has the 1998 Sega Star Wars Trilogy Arcade. Do you know of anything that has it? I don’t have a PC so I need something that will work on a TV. Thanks to anyone with any info.
Couldn't get the controllers to connect. Maybe I just don't know how. The screen came up on my big screen tv but couldn't select anything on the menu. Nothing worked, no scrolling, no selecting, nothing, zip. Is there something I gotta do to activate the controllers?
How do you use third party controllers with this ? I would really prefer to use wired or rechargeable controllers like a PS4 controller instead of having to use batteries.
it looks like we both have the same console but why doesn’t mine have the old sonic games? actually most games on mine are bootlegs and knockoffs and there is only sega games like sonic advanced
I have what looks pretty similar to this. Keeps flashing black on and off and the sound is awful. It's a shame as it seems like it would have been great.
I'm a huge fan of these gamestick things! There's a version called GD10 from the AMPOWN Store, nowadays it's the 2nd best when it comes to these, it's the one I got for me. It can run SNES without slowing down and the n64 works well with it too. Only the Dreamcast is kinda eh, has some games where the fps drops or some of the graphics glitches like Sonic Adventure 1 (even tho Sonic Adventure 2 runs perfectly), but the PSP for example, it runs smoothly most games. the more demanding ones like God of War, Dante's Inferno and GTA won't run well on it, but most other games will run in 30 or 60 fps. The SD card it comes with sucks by the way, I've heard people having trouble with it after a month's of usage, and the joysticks aren't the best either. Honestly, I did buy a new SD Card and a Joystick just to play on my gamestick and the investment was worth it for me.

Thanks for the awesome review. i must buy this now!
You can try using a adapter for the powe instead of the tv's usb port in my case it did the job and fixed the emulation problems
Can you recommend a power supply that will work with this system?
Same.
@@NutnFartsy He means the USB plug adapter instead of sticking the other end of the usb into the tv
So the better the power the better the emulator runs? Like with FIRESTICK it works better plugged into the wall versus plugged into the USB on the TV.
How do go to the search?
