A lot of people in the UK were trying to sell these on tiktok but they got banned. I was never convinced by then to buy one even though they claimed they were good even with psp games.
I really like your honest reviews man. None of the "sticks" are worth it. They are money grabs for unsuspecting people who see "game quantity" as the biggest reason for their purchases. Oh wow!!! 100,000 games? That other console costs double and it only has 50,000!! Anyway, its dumb if you ask me. Theres a ton of better options out there if you don't want to build your own. These sticks are good for cottages or something and if they are around $20
Totally agree. Fine for nes snes genesis etc but thats it and who knows how long they'll hold up even with that stuff. There's no telling what their longevity is.
You said the X2 isn't worth the $50 but "you can get into something for a little bit more money that's going to give you a flawless experience that's offered (with the X2)." What system for a little more money would that be? Can you recommend something that's much much better?
@@RngRoy280 Thank you very much I'll check that out but in the meantime I picked up and RPi5 and added Retropie and a bunch of games. Just having to sort out the crap now. Cheers!
Not a good product (avoid). There are better builds out there to look at or make your own. The only positive thing about this was your awesome review my brother. You make those products look like gold. Love your honesty as always.
Does yours have the same controller as his?? I’ve seen a couple different ones just lookin for the better controller before I pull the trigger no pun intended
My x2 has 700 PS1 games not 37 as shown in this video a few like resident evil not English version so cant read text and character speak in Spanish so cant play them other i tried all played good a few dont load the save so have to replay from start again
I've got the game stick which has over forty one thousand similar to this, but I have the xbox controller. I just got it this morning and when I go into a game, I cannot exit out of it. No matter what I do, all the buttons, I touch, hold buttons, combinations, nothing I have to turn my t v off and i'm back on again to power it down and back up in order to start from the very beginning again. But when I want to search a game which you did, you're in the main menu when you can select all of the Emulators, that's where you push the search button and you can search through the entire collection and get all the mortal kombats, or whatever you're looking for.
I got one. Experienced a roughly half a second to one second lag from when I hit a button to something happening on screen. Tried to pair a new controller,didnt work. Turned down the graphic settings to 360p and now the whole thing wont load on any of my TVs outside of the first "gamebox" screen. 50 down the drain. Just wanted something to play these games on my tv.
I got one and ps1 games like resident evil didn’t work to push R1 to raise the handgun. It was like a constant singular push compared to holding in X in New Ghostbusters 2 shooting a consistent proton stream. I tried to fix the controls and now the controls are basically multiple directions and no start+select to bring up rhe menu and now i cant get in at all from the main loading screen. How does one reboot?
They’re cheap, seems like they only last a couple months before something goes bad. Best bet would be to buy a PlayStation vita and jailbreak it or get emulators on PC
I bought one of they sticks to take around with me as a portable option to my gaming pc necause i work away from home alot and it was awful it started malfunctioning and i started having graphical problems and crashing randomly so i didtched it
Any way to reduce controller sensitivity? Zelda N64 can’t press your shield (it toggles on and off super fast and doesn’t stay on) and aiming is way too touchy
Bought a couple of these… everything plugged in as it should, hdmi, power, usb receiver, new batteries in controllers (and switched on)… comes on the screen ok, but the controllers just will not connect (lights flashing)… tried everything, changed usb receivers, bought wired usb controller… nothing! 😞
I got one from Tumu and $45 only the dreamcast game have a steering problem sonic and driving games wont go left or right and some games dont save or dont load the save so have to play from start again a few like resident evil games not in English so cant read on screen and character speak in Spanish so cant play them
You could spend about 100 bucks more and get an n100 mini pc which would let you emulate ps2 and some gamecube games as well as psp n64 maybe even saturn plus the retro retro systems
Hello, I have X2 ultra 128gb game stick the same as the video, I accidentally changed the controller configuration, I can't open the main menu because start+select doesn't work. Is there any solution to reset the controller with buttons or other method? Thanks
There was a version of a tiny ps1 on the market a few years back that has ridge racer and alot of sega classics the games worked perfect not sure where to find it though.
You need to buy a hard drive version to play ps2 or 3 higher graphics required these game stick just to n64 or Dreamcast and PS1 mine had 700 PS1:games
can someone tell me how to connect this to my pc? I used my available hdmi port on the back of my video card but nothing shows up on hdmi one or two on my monitor. Is there something on the pc I need to change?
Amazing video thanks. I got one myself but cant find a way to backup the sd card since pc cant see it nor I can install fresh emuelec on it since it cant see it too... if anyone can share how to do that would be really amazing and thanks in advance
I ordered this got it hooked it up, the controllers didn't work, I ask how to fix it, they just refunded me back. Does anyone know how to trouble shoot the controllers to get them to work
You have to plug the little tiny dongle into the back of the stick. Looks like what you'd have for a wireless mouse. I had the same issue till I found it hiding in the box.
Is there a stick you recommend that has a bunch of full PSP games that plays good. I'm not a big gamer so frame rates and stuff like that doesn't bother me. Just as long as the game plays and the sound isn't completely off.
No matter how bad it is, for $30 it costs you can't go wrong. These days remakes cost $20 to $30 a piece. To have all these games on 1 stick for pennies is a bargain.
Full games mate but I had one for Christmas and it feels cheap and nasty and the graphics are terrible. I've got a original ps one and that runs smoother.
Hey man I need HELP!! Just bought the game stick from TikTok specifically for WCW/NWO revenge. I love it, except I have no idea how to do a taunt which sucks bc that is how you get a special (ability to hit finisher in game). PLEASE show me how to do this!!!!
People that do have these type of game sticks, either it be X2 game stick etc. yes people see the flaws but not everybody can afford a PC. Whatever game stick or device you have the point of it is the memories of your childhood. Some people's opinions does not deter a person's love for gaming. Everyone is looking for a cheap deal. No matter where you get it from, long as it works it can be junk or it could be the best thing like sliced bread. If a person can play their game at a cheap price they would do it. The way the economy is in america, usa, US whatever you want to call this place. And I was born here, the economy is the pits nowadays not everybody want to buy a PC old or new. You have to worry about feeding your family paying mortgages rents other bills that's going to take some money away from happiness, peace . So a little cheap device works well for a lot of people that may not have the space, wife expectancy , etc. thank you for the review and your opinion of the state of this device. I really appreciate it. I have two of them the 40,000 unit, and the 60,000 unit. Now I understand that being duplicates yes. But at the same time when you have a wife children mortgage water, gas bills to pay. That's a great idea! I mean a lot of people say if it's so easy how come didn't nobody else come up with the idea for the people here that's always looking for a great deal. Respectfully everybody has the opinions in the know how, but can't come out with a good idea for other common folk they love to play games too.
I absolutely agree with you, it's just for fun and it's nothing serious, it's not a committment either where you're putting in too much money so I understand your love for the game sticks 💝
You finally said what so many people were thinking, yes a mini-pc is better but when you have adult resposibilities you cannot spend so much on games ! And with two controllers you can play old classics with your family and it will be hours of fun for everybody !
I thought you focused too much on the Directory, and not enough on the actual Game Experience. I seen only 4 games out of 20000 that you tried. About 3 minutes of showing the games in a 27 minute video.... I Feel like my time was wasted. I've seen other reviews of the same or similar game stick - and they thought it was actually pretty decent overall for the cost.
Does it have the old X-men arcade beat'em up. Seems like the only way to play that game these days is to buy that goddamn 1-up arcade machine. They can eat my ass not paying $500.00 for one game
I wanted to buy it mostly for silent hill, metal gear and resident evil psx, I didn't see them so not worth it, and then I own the psps with the castlevania, final fantasy and other exclusivea gamea and I didn't see them and you said avoid psp, why bother putting all those games if you can't play them
Emulation is the way to go... But not when it sucks !
Omg this should be a t-shirt and be in every store in the WORLD. ♥️✨
Yer I got one of this crap shit stick things because I just wanted to play some old games on my tv

You should record your voice and the gameplay as separate tracks in obs so you don't get shut down by the game audio. 😁

Thanks!
Whats the best stick to get that loaded?
better builds? What can you recommend?
Question I have is can you use a different controller that uses a USB stick Or do you have to use the 1 that come in the box
Has so much knowledge about them he doesn't reply😂
X2. Great for Sonic vs Knuckles Genesis. Lovely
Thus, this seems to be a good buy if one wants games from 8 bit to 16 bit consoles
I bought one and it's not bad for 20 buks, been playing alot of the games I played growing up.
Are they full games or demo
Full
Does it save game? My r36s deletes files after I turn it off. I just wanna play Pokémon fire red again
@supersaiyantacos it does
Whats the best emu to price point product that you suggest?
Appreciate the full walkthrough and honesty. Got a follow from me for sure now.
Chase- I noticed the retro games on the stick has all its games fit the whole screen. Does it look good in your opinion instead of 4:3?
$40 on tiktok. People complain, but even if half the games work, it is well worth the money
They are really pushing these on TikTok
that’s where i seen it
I like mine from TikTok
@@RichardBenitez-nc8hbyou have a link for the one you bought by chance brotha?

Great break down video, thanks. Question: can you get into the menu system to remove game that don’t work?
Same
Yessssss did you solve it?
How do you go back to the main screen to play other games . Mine won’t let me do that I pressed every button…
Mode button between the joystix
My x2 has 700 PS1 games not 37 as shown in this video a few like resident evil not English version so cant read text and character speak in Spanish so cant play them other i tried all played good a few dont load the save so have to replay from start again
Hey Chase, given your mixed review of this stick...is there a gamestick with a ton of great games that you would highly recommend?
What would you recommend that cost a little more that gives you a better gaming experience?

How do you pair your controller with the device?
there's a usb hole in the back where you put the wire
@@allaboutcristianothe controllers are wireless from what I can see 🤷🏻♂️
Not wireless there a small item you put into the game stick
@@logannorthington719 think of it as a Bluetooth stick
Its like 40.00 for all those games. This is a good deal.
I got one. Experienced a roughly half a second to one second lag from when I hit a button to something happening on screen. Tried to pair a new controller,didnt work.

how did you bring up that settings menu to be able to exit the game? I've just been unplugging it whenever I was done
Does it have Double Dragon on arcade?
Bro loving the the console look and games
It’s not working with my brand new projector

I’m trying to find Rampage World Tour arcade and Gauntlet Legends arcade. Any of these sticks have them?
Once you start playing a game it won't let you exit out of the game I tried to play Mike Tyson's Punch-Out but the controllers response is not fast

So which would you recommend then ? If not this one ?
You could spend about 100 bucks more and get an n100 mini pc which would let you emulate ps2 and some gamecube games as well as psp n64 maybe even saturn plus the retro retro systems

Which game stick is better the powkiddy y6 or the game stick x2?
This is example of when you buy something online and watch unboxings because you are too exited.
Nba jam? Anyone played that? How's its performance?

And superstars.
You can always get the mame file if it's not listed.
Hello . How do you get wrestefest? Does it come on that x2 thingy or somewhere else ?
Do you need 4k tv to play the device?
The question is how do you power on the controller???!!!
So what would you recommend as this 2x stick is put together very poorly and the emulators do not perform like they should.
Can u use the controllers tho? For laptop retro gaming? And two player at the same time??
It's not plug and play with my windows 10. So I'm guessing you will have to find the driver's for it .
Got one on tik tok and the SD card was empty no games nothing and no dongle for the controllers not to mention the power cord is SUPER short
There was a version of a tiny ps1 on the market a few years back that has ridge racer and alot of sega classics the games worked perfect not sure where to find it though.
How do you connect the second remote ?
I’m looking for the one that could play PlayStation 2 games and PS3, do you guys know anything?
You need to buy a hard drive version to play ps2 or 3 higher graphics required these game stick just to n64 or Dreamcast and PS1 mine had 700 PS1:games
can i add more controller using dongle with multiple usb A slots for wired or dongled controllers?
What about the input delay?
You scrolled right over Mortal Kombat
I thought I wasn’t tripping 😂 I saw that 2
Thanks for the review. The Y6 from Powkiddy is better performance and more systems but is also flawed. Ugh
How to configured the controller to play mk trilogy ?
can someone tell me how to connect this to my pc? I used my available hdmi port on the back of my video card but nothing shows up on hdmi one or two on my monitor. Is there something on the pc I need to change?
The game stick needs to be plugged into the monitor/TV itself, not into a pc.
BR stands for Brazil, I guess.
Amazing video thanks. I got one myself but cant find a way to backup the sd card since pc cant see it nor I can install fresh emuelec on it since it cant see it too... if anyone can share how to do that would be really amazing and thanks in advance
