Wrong link?
@@moose7908 i just clicked it and it leads exactly to what its supposed to be. Dunno whats up on your side lol
@@Madlittlepixel ty!! I'll try a different way
With all do respect MLP the link takes me to a Phone case page lol. I'm thinking it's possible they might've taken it down or it sold out??
@@i.still.function3463 I dont know these Ali links be acting weird. try this one bit.ly/3ke2E5g or www.aliexpress.com/store/4785023
Im getting into these emulation boxes so looks like I'll be getting this one. Im looking to save money on games and the associated hardware. Thank you for reviewing this for us!
i loved the bezzles for all the games in this video. do you know if this $40 box comes with bezzles pre configured as well?
Forgot I ordered one based on this video. Got an email this morning saying it cleared customs. Looking forward to playing with it. Thanks for the review.
i loved the bezzles for all the games in this video. do you know if this $40 box comes with bezzles pre configured as well?
Thanks! I ordered one, hopefully I'll get it by Christmas 🎄
Dik Doc - I guess urologist was already used.
It gives new meaning to the word stream
Thank you very much sir I just picked one up. Love the channel.
Bro love your vids you should do more of this cheap emulators handhelds or box
Great video.Would love a video on a deeper dive on the settings and configuration.
I'm ordering mine tomorrow! I'm kinda excited ☺️☺️
Great video thank you.
I have ordered this a week ago. It seems decent especially for the price.
Good looking dude ! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 i was about to get the Pow Kiddy Y6 but this one ia better since you can set things up 😉 thx man i appreciate 👍🏽
Have just ordered this based on your review...as a retro gamer I have my fingers crossed!
i loved the bezzles for all the games in this video. do you know if this $40 box comes with bezzles pre configured as well?
@@DonTravelsTheWorld yeah, they are all there when you start it up. Have received mine now, very happy with it.
Thanks for sharing! I plan to get one next payday.
Simple question : will it run on an arcade cabinet if I connect my USB joypad adapters on it?
That would save me so much time. I love Pis but man some images just won't run.
Thanks for sharing, does the box support highscore for the games ?
Hi MLP, what is the theme used for this system? Could you provide a link?
Hey MLP do you have to use the SD card that comes with Retron 77 to update the Stella and download games or can you use any Micro sd
Great video. Wouldn't mind getting one of these just to see pc-engine cd games and some of the Dreamcast stuff . Saves a lot of looking around for roms etc, Especially as retro games are so expensive nowadays
Unfortunately, it only has 3 Dreamcast games.
@@user-rh4fc2dg8e really? :( what games?
@@user-rh4fc2dg8e wtf. Can u load more onto it tho
Looks good enough and cheap enough for me. Thank you!
Can you switch off the bezels? Can you save your game state progress?
If you add own ROMs to this device can you also add game artworks? Do the games automatically show up in the menus?
Hey, are you reviewing the new 12TB launchbox and hyperspin drives on aliexpress?
I like these kind of devices. Problem is there are so many of them! Which one to choose!!!
Granted I have many of the original consoles and games but something like this is just so convenient! No switching cartridges or disks and waiting for them to load. One thing to hook up instead of several consoles and all their cables and power plugs.
I can tolerate the glitches and problems for the convenience.
you could use it when youre on vacation and your hotel/motel TV's got HDMI
or if youre at someone's place
Thanks! I just got one of these! Ships by mid month!
The menu system looks just like a pi, I'm so tempted to buy one and stick in my arcade that I'm currently building, will them arcade buttons and joypads work with em just like a pi? If it does then this seems the way to go.
Wander if Theirs bezels on the arcade game as well
Great review. I'd love to see a list of games that are featured.
Seems like an awesome device. So much choose from. I hope they're still available in a few weeks.
Dude, how did you use the retro Mario!? 😵

Hi. Is this better than the Kinhank brand? The cube one
Ever since the Ouya people have been using android boxes to make game consoles out of them that is the only thing Ouya has done for the gaming market.
Thank you very much. Will two more wireless controllers work for you, to play with a total of four controllers. Since for each pair of controllers is a USB receiver.
How do I make a back up copy of the sd card?
Hello! Great review, thank you. Wondering if you had any idea how to control the c64 games? I cnnot get them to function.
Can you use this device with either a Hori Pro Kai 4 or an X Arcade?
awesome, thank you. did you check if it can 'save state' ? cheers
Any ideas how I can factory reset this? Made a mess trying to configure the controllers
Thank yo for reviewing this ive had my eye on it for a wile but theres nobody reviewing it
Can we load a clean version of EmuElec on this thing or are we stuck with what it ships with?
Great video 👍
Do the provide all of the side bars?
I bought it right after watching this video! Dammit Ron! That was too good to pass up! lol
i loved the bezzles for all the games in this video. do you know if this $40 box comes with bezzles pre configured as well?
i loved the bezzles for all the games you showed. this $40 box comes with bezzles pre configured as well?
Looking forward for this answer too.
@@phpianocover seriously. if it comes pre-configured with all those bezels, I am buying asap!
It does! Everything he shows is configured like that out of the box, and you can add your own if you want too
Thanks. I might try this one👍☺
I bought this system based on your recommendation, it does play great. I have a question, does it play game genie codes?
Can you got a replacement controller?
Can you add more USB ports to play 4 player games? I couldn’t get that functionality to work on the Super Retrocade
I would also like to know this. Or at least know which bluetooth controllers are also compatible. My android Bluetooth controller did not connect
Thanks for the video I may buy one of these
Does anybody know how to stretch the screen?
I removed the bazels but now I have 2 black stripes right and left, and I see the image is compressed horizontally. I am using a Dell 1709FP.
Thanks!!!
I had never seen Dolphin Blue from Atomis Wave, looks awesome I want to play that game now!
same
Does this have Daphne on it? Or are the games on Daphne in MAME?
What is the best 4k hdmi box that uses emulators that plays wii u and ps3 and, Dreamcast and 3ds?
did you try to use other controller? like arcade stick? for pc?
I own Retroid Pocket 2 and Evercade but they are solid mobile devides. This Arcade Box seems perfect for a spare tv, especially for the money.
Wow! OK.
Well, I just watched this video and went and bought one of these sets. The 8GB Raspberry Pi was about $160, then I have to assemble it, download the software, install the software, find the game ROMs, download and install the game ROMs…and the controllers are sold separately.
For $40, what’s not to like?
If you intended for your machine to serve only as a retro museum, for very low cost and without expectation to handle tougher hardware, absolutely. I have also heard that for this purpose, a 2 GB RPi 4 should be sufficient.
Wondering if this could be hooked up directly into legends ultimate arcade with the hdmi cable and usb? 🧐
i cannot read the microsd on my pc because i want to add/change some games, how do i read this card? also what kind of OS does this have? are there images for this device,oi3/4 or odroid?
I certainly ordered this... Best deal ever? As a gamer I say yes 🥶 It's unlimited fun.
I just bought this for .myself for Christmas! It was 20 bucks more, bc ali express wasn't keen on my payment method, so I bought it somewhere else. The pawky pad looks cool too! Ps2 and gamecube? Yes please!
How do I enter the menu with the settings you opened in the last minute of the video?
Is there a way to find the SD card contents uploaded somewhere?
I think it makes a lot of sense, looks complete.
Would you be able to confirm if Banjo on N64 works ok or that it’s actually in the library for playable games?
Any ideas on why, when I am in Mame, it keeps forgetting my controller configuration? I have to set it Everytime I get out of a game in Mame right now.
The EmuElec frontend runs well with this chipset. N64 runs better with the S905X chip, which is on more higher-end SBCs or Android media boxes
Ive noticed a bit of input lag with the wireless controller. Is there a way to fix this?
I have a lot of input lag with the wireless controllers.. some people with the same problem?
What controllers work with it? I have a Nintendo switch controller, but it is only compatible with Nintendo I believe. Also, how do I get the drastic option again? It came on once and now I can't seem to get it again. The controllers that I have don't work. Incant even play games at all
Can we play full screen ???because ı dont like on left and right platform names.
Can you do a video on how to add games to it, more specifically shadow warriors for mame emu. It's in the games list but all I get is a old school dos style error prompt that won't boot up the game, it just goes back to game list when trying to start it. I'm assuming it's because the lynx emu has it as well but listed under ninja gaiden and obviously the graphics aren't as good, I've noticed that with some other games as well. It's really the whole reason I bought this thing,lol. Help a bother out!
How do you set it up on your tv or computer?
i have this box but when playing ps it often lags, can i know your smooth setting for ps1 with this emuelec box?
You need the remote control to work to start it?
How do you reset the arcade box? I messed up while configuring my arcade stick I don't have a start or select button and can't get to the main menu to reconfigure my gamepad
Still sticking with my PC I like low to high emulation I use retrobat as my frontend its very good I'm very happy with it and I use it with windows 11 no issues at all.
On thursday i buyed on aliexpress,Is It a good deal???
What is native resolution output? Thanks.
If you're looking for retrogaming up to ps1 power, you really can't go wrong with these systems.
It should be nearly as good as a raspberry pi 4. You could play most Dreamcast games on lowest resolution no problem.
@@wolffactor56 do all these games come already installed on this device?
@@DC4LHO33 yes they do. Only issue I had and it's minor is the game descriptions aren't in English. Beyond that it's a great system for the money. If you can find Amlogic S905X3 or X4 for a little more I would recommend them more.
i loved the bezzles for all the games in this video. do you know if this $40 box comes with bezzles pre configured as well?
@@DonTravelsTheWorld yup and you can get other bezels
How do you stop the controller LAG?
R all these games already in it and where is best to buy it from??
Best advice is to make a full back up of the sd card incase the original becomes corrupted in the future.
Definitely
@@Madlittlepixel hey the link brings up Pokemon cards. Do you have another link bro? Either of them are working for me.
@@bkay4440 AliExpress links will be weird and will depend on your region. Best bet is to goto the site and search dik doc store
@@Madlittlepixel i got it. Thanks. I appreciate it!
How do I make a full back up of the sd card?
Hey new sub here, great video, I just received my arcade box this week. I was wondering is there an option to search games? Pls post if you know, thank you!
The link doesn't work could you provide a link? When I click on the item it puts an unrelated item in the cart.
Can I use my own USB controller? I don't really know how to mod my playstation classic. I don't know how to set up a mister or a retro pie.
I think this would be good for me. I'm mostly interested In snes and lower anyways. Does this have screen tearing.
Yep it pre-configures just about any USB controller you can throw at it.
what fight stick can you use with this?
I know it been a long time since you mess with the arcade box but I am having trouble with ps1 games slow and glitchy tried different roms crash bandicoot 1 and 2 it hard to tell what is what any help please
Does it have Bluetooth built in to pair wireless controller?
Also can you remove the borders on both sides when playing games?
No Bluetooth support, unsure if a dongle would work. But yes, there's a plethora of bevel options, including adding your own or having none.
@@hotdoggington6962 👍
Does it get hot,does it have a cooling fan?
Hi! Can you trade and battle for Pokémon games with that console to another console?
Very interesting! I would buy it.
Eyes are going bad is this ok with castlevania on ds? All three of em small ds screen isn't an option any more
So all these games come included on this device?
I just ordered one. I just built an arcade cabinet with raspberry pi. Will this work with arcade stick and buttons?
Yep get the intec switch arcade stick, plan on building me one.
Its a good price point for a plug and play. And it seems to run the Dreamcast stuff better then some other stuff I have seen that costs more. This is for people that dont want to do the work it takes to do a Pi set up. And that is valid way to approch it.
I can see the wisdom of a pre made setup. Not everyone has the time or know how to set up a RPI and throw the games on themselves.
The only caveat with these pre made set ups is if you need help or if the controls or something goes sideways your SOL.
That would be me then. When I was younger, I would have enjoyed the challenge, but now, I cba. :)
i loved the bezzles for all the games in this video. do you know if this $40 box comes with bezzles pre configured as well?
Hi i have a box arcade i was trying get. A game from mame. An changed the emulac now the screen is all green can it be fixed?
I have a problem with the console would you help ? I had played and shutdown system from the menu. Later when i push the power button to start loads the picture of emueleg and the signal disappears remains a black screen.... How do I fix it or if there is a way to reboot the system?
My graphic looks nothing like that , is something wrong with my mines ?
does this include mortal 123 and 3 ultimate arcade version
Hi all, there is no sound during game, all cable properly connected. Can i have some advise how to solve the issue?
Can this run the light gun arcade games on the newer tvs?
Did this game system display in 720p image stretch?
Will this work with a usb hub to upgrade to 4 players?
Ordered one. Hope it works with different controllers if I use a Magic NS stick.
I bought one of these, and after startup, it goes to a green screen. Do you know what might be wrong with it
