That's what chinese manufacturers do since 2018:every 6 months they open the unsold mediaboxes cases and they transfer the old motherboards to new cases with new updated os/emulators interface trying to sell them again. The improvement in the speed depends just on the new emulators. Spec remained the same in the last 4-6 years!!!!!
This chip is S905L3A, it's a customized version of 905x2, the main frequency is also 1.8Ghz, and the GPU is g31. It can be tested by some software under the Android system, such as AIDA64.
If the chinese could make a deal with nvidea to produce their older lesser powerful cards like the 640 or 730, or even a similar new GPU, they could have some pretty powerful boxes at least for emulation.
They would still need to be able to interface it to a system and/or integrate it with an SoC. You know short of an x86 box based on a modern Celeron/Pentium chip.
At least I expected an aml922 system. But the interface seems to evolve a bit. So maybe in a year or two when the RK3588S is common and cheap it will get a lot better. But now it still seems that a tiny bit of performance comes at a unreasonable premium.
My pc with a 3060 run ps2 well. If I 4x resolution it starts to stutter. I think we are still a few years away from sub $100 ps2/360 emulation. Although I've seen good results with the series S.
@@Lennyg845 for that price, you might have to wait up to 10 years. Remember, 8 bit emulation was accomplished more than 20 years ago. And 32 bit is not perfect yet on sub $50 devices.
U can get a budget used Ryzen laptop around 150 that can run PS2 well as well as play PC games. I got a used laptop with Ryzen 3 3200u. I can play a lot of PS2 games at 1080p and it runs GTA 5 30fps at 900p for example
I wonder if this box is slowing down on 3D games due to the cooling. Do you think you could try one day installing an aftermarket CPU? Something similar to a Raspberry Pi cooler. Would make a cool comparison video "default vs modded" cooling.
To play Tekken mame, you actually need a specific emulator like Mame 0139 but it's on Batocera. If you play Tekken 5 on PCSX2 you get the full arcade versions with full rosters.
what kind of memory card does this use? my super console X cube memory card crapped out on me and it was a no name brand in it.I tried to plug it into my computer and it had drive errors the computer couldnt fix,also for n64 you need to go into the core options in retroarch and change it to parallel64, the games run way better
Great review, as always. How about a side-by-side comparison of boards with different CPUs? Edit: Never mind, I just found your "Best of 2022" video :)
Hi, just wondering whether you have a top 3 picks for these type of emulation devices. I was thinking criteria like, working games on the hardware specs it has (N64 etc), no dupes, no endless copies of games / different makes of same game, decent controllers, and put together well / UI etc. Also maybe a category for 2 players, and then something that will handle 4 players Mario cart There are lots of videos around reviewing these game boxes, but not a lot current I could find on which ones out of all of them are the best based on the above criteria? thanks
Hey I’ve been watching a lot of your videos but I’m a bit confused witch one to get I do want to play Saturn/n64 and psp what would be the best in your option?
I'm thinking about buying one of these for the games, but i also want to use it for streaming. Can I install IPTV apps like NetGo and IPTV Smarters on this one?
Nice review, I have one of these early generations boxes and unfortunately the SD card get corrupted. I'm just using the boxes as Android box TV. I'm planning to buy another one, can somebody tell me how to make a copy or back up copy of the SD card? These manufacturers uses very cheap SD card that don't last.
Go check out Russ at 'Retro Game Corps' here on YT; he has several tutorials about updating firmware on these sorts of devices and handhelds, which include full details on backing up the supplied SD cards.... 😉
So I have a ps4 pro Haven’t done any updates after 8… Do I jailbreak it and turn it into something like this? Or do I buy something like this and have it ready to go?
Is its me or my gamepads work strange in fighting games? PvP. I think buttons stop responding sometimes for P1 or P2. Maybe this is because both gamepads are on one receiver?
Got the super console 1, some games don’t play, so would like to see if they do load and work on this one.. Arcade: superman, Spider-Man, alien 3 the gun, etc.
Can the SD card that comes with these consoles be used with other similar consoles? Or are they coded to work in only the one they came with? General question to anyone.
I got one of these for Christmas but have been unable to get it to boot up EmuElec. It will boot up the Android Screen but that is it. How do you switch between the two? Thanks for your time.
@@WickedGamerCollector I did that. Plugged it in on the opposite side of the controller. When I try to boot to EmuElec it gives me an Android Recovery screen.
@Wicked Gamer & Collector Looking for an System where i can play that metroid 2 remake from the nds. Is this game on that console and is it playable? Thanks
Thanks. I don't really like what I call 'unboxing porn'. I'm just interested in what the tech can do. Maybe other people are different, but I'm not gonna watch a video like this and decide I don't want that product because they did a crappy printing job on the pamphlet, or because I don't like the way they beveled the box flaps, you know? Anyway, thanks again. tavi.
Another reshelled S905X based box. There are no improvements in this console and buying this would just be like buying any of the others. The only improvements you see are actually due to EmuElec being updated which you can do on your own system. Highly advised buying this as you aren't getting anything new. There are many boxes out there much better than this one which have S912 chipset or S922X
It's what they do all the time. Slap a name extra and try to sell it. Even more wicked they do this with a 1 month time window so makes even no sense 😆
Those old games, never ran at 60fps, the norm was 30fps and no one complained or missed 60fps, as it was not around. Don't get obsessed by needing g 60fps, when these reto system were basically running 30fps, even Saturn, N64, ETC, very few ran past 30fps. I have no problems with games running at 30fps, only PC players or new generation console owners complain. Old school was never 60fps
Buddy .. if you say plays most games well... what game platforms 😳 Game Cube, PS2 and N64 are a no go for these Android box / emuelec machines. We need a PC for that at the moment 😲

Can we have both.. :\
Without a cooling fan, not a good idea to try emulec
I believe Panzer Dragoon only ran at 30fps Natively on Sega Saturn, and Panzer Dragoon II Zwei ran at 30 fps, and 60 fps during cut scenes.
The flying metal plate...
Not great, but $88 for the 256GB is also not a bad deal really.
Best way to play retro games is on original hardware.

IMO it's always better to just play natively on the real hardware and a CRT monitor. The best experience.

Do I jailbreak it and turn it into something like this? Or do I buy something like this and have it ready to go?
Could you use that usb with the loaded files and Emulators on a better computer or device 🤔 for better performance.
Is there a power supply for American outlet?
Can you please list the processor for each? X1, X2, X2 pro
Doesn't even matter they are all minor upgrades with resoluting in not any performance boost what so ever in many platforms like PSP, N64 etc..
@@WickedGamerCollector thank you sir. Love the witty videos, you always make me chuckle or 2 👍

yup

Hello. Can I ask what handheld you recommend? I just sold my gamekiddy gkd350h (kinda regret it). What would you recommend getting now?
Does it work well with the AtGames Ultimate?
Do you know how to see the games list if not could you check if sonic r and sega rally on the sega saturn is on this.
looks like the Amiga 500 is the best enulator to run eveything, all these boxes from chyyna cannoto handle the big files
Is its me or my gamepads work strange in fighting games? PvP.

Maybe this is because both gamepads are on one receiver?

Got the super console 1, some games don’t play, so would like to see if they do load and work on this one..
Arcade: superman, Spider-Man, alien 3 the gun, etc.
Those should work on that particular console but you have too fiddle with ALL the emulators to make sure.
Did i hear correctly this isnt available in the US?
Could the date be the "3921" on the top side of the PCB?
Any updates on this guys? Anyone got one for a comment? Does it have old Amiga and Neo Geo games on it?

@@WickedGamerCollector good one
This x2 is great but in my Playstation emulation, i have only the sound fx but not the music... why ?

When the games get ripped wrong or they don't add music that is the reason why.
Is this actually from Kinhank or somebody else?
This is from Kinhank indeed.
No other weird company's.
How is this next gen? It contains an S905XL. The advertising on the link states S905X2, which is a con.
Yes... they are naughty to show 1 thing and say it's another one.

Do xbox 360 controllers work with this?

will any of thise boxes run without internet, or how do it work
