    If you are of a certain age, these little boxes are pure nostalgia. For the price this is incredible value for money as an all in one retro experience. C64, Amiga, NES, SNES, Master and Genesis. Shame they've not set up some of the systems correctly, particularly the handhelds but otherwise an incredibly cheap way to Retro Game. Thanks for the little technical bits as well.

  • @sideswipe1261
    @sideswipe1261 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I’m going to first try just setting the system on small, plastic encased ice pack like for lunch coolers. If any condensation forms that’s as easy as putting a dry cloth in-between. Or just leaving the screws out soni can pop the top off the console should help cooling considerably. Another very simple solution is adding an inexpensive (5Below or even Dollar tree) USB powered fan they sell for “self cooling” with soft blades pointed at the opened case during play. Another option is simply cutting more vents or holes into the casing too, maybe sides or bottom if needed and affixing a fine-mesh dust screen over the holes. Or yank an old heat sink from an old computer CPU or graphics cards with fresh thermal paste. There’s dozens of ways to cool this down if needed for between $0.00-$3.00. Not worried. I understand that some prefer to keep everything looking tidy, which is always nice, but I didn’t order one to gaze at the shell, but to play the games, so function beats form in my book.

    Thanks for this excellent review. I am still waiting for one of these boxes that hit the sweet spot between performance, price and content. Each seems to have issues, from overheating to a ton of duplicates, to no sound to save space on the SD card. I was even willing to pay for the console X king, but even that box has issues. That really surprised me, considering the cost. I just I will just have to wait. So far the best solution for me has been to buy a used PC, put a fairly decent GPU in it, and run a Botecera hard drive. Thanks again.

      As for the rights and wrongs about that, personally, I have no guilt in playing games that are over 10 years old for free, the real guilty ones are the companies trying to profit on something decades later.

    I was interested in this sort of machine for a long time but came to the conclusion that setting up your own emulation front and set of emulators, backup game rom library and so on was half the fun.
    Plus, if you use your pc or build a dedicated machine for it you can plan ahead and make sure it can run the stuff you like.
    Still enticing to see if there ever will be one of these that'll match what you can do yourself with RetroArch + Launchbox on pc or even handhelds like PSVita.

    • @sideswipe1261
      @sideswipe1261 ปีที่แล้ว

      Indeed! And much at this point is more about tweaking the emulators and software than needing to change the hardware anyways. The speed and ease at which he entered the settings and downloaded that smoothing filter (which didn’t affect performance at all but made for better graphics) looks nice to me. I’ll also be running it through my Marseille MClassic HDMI external graphics card which is feature packed and makes a huge difference on many platforms with zero added lag despite reprocessing all the graphics in real-time. I have one connected to a powered 5-way HDMI 4k/60HZ splitter I feed all my consoles through before it outputs to my TV. Works great!

    Kinda wish KinHank started using TV boxes with bluetooth included, they're just a couple of bucks more expensive than the ones that don't have it from the same manufacturers so there's little excuse for them to keep chosing the cheapest option all the time... Going to something that could emuelec 4.0 or higher would get a noticeable price hike for that extra ram, but that's totally not the case for bluetooth and it would make those cheap controllers something we could skip more easily.

    Can you remove the sd card from this device, insert into your pc and boot the sd card as startup. Would Emulec, Retro Arch run on your pc as if from this device, albeit with better performance?
    Edit: Nevermind, apparently you can't run Emulec on a pc.

    First thing I do when a machine is pre-loaded is delete all the games. It's pointless, overwhelming and makes navigation a chore. That's just me though.

      100% agree. It's usually just shovelware anyways.

      I take the card out, put it in its box and keep that as stock.
      Then use a brand name card and flash your own OS, I prefer Batocera, and set up your own build.
      Ofcourse the point of these preloaded systems are plug and play so its an alternative for those that dont know how to set up their own, or dont have time etc..

      Sure, that's exactly what I do as well. I like starting from clean firmware and my own ROM library. But we're not the target audience of a device like this :)

    Between this cube vs the super console x pro, which is greater in your opinion? I've heard the king is top tier and price on the list but out of the two lower level ones, it seems they have comparable number of games, emulators, and specs just different console?

    Just received this thing, for 50$ it seems worth it. When I boot it up it runs, but the green power light comes on red. Also, having issues with wifi and controllers 3 and 4.

    Did Chicken get to review the console at the high temperature? My cat lives on my cable box, I assume because of the heat it puts off. Maybe Chicken prefurrrs more spicy gaming.

      I would say the GT King will give you the best N64 performance for under $150. Here is my guide on how to set it up: retrogamecorps.com/2021/11/12/guide-diy-super-console-x-king/

    • @RetroGameCorps
      @RetroGameCorps  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think that if you got a cheap android box and built the EmuELEC image from scratch (like in my HK1 video earlier this year), you could make a super simple setup for people, with just a few games on it. For a TV-based system, that's probably your best bet.
