![The World's SMALLEST Retro Gaming "Console" [Hyper Base 'Mini' review]](/img/tr.png)
Don't know if anyone will still be reading comments on this particular video, but just want to give a quick update. I tried to use a windows 7 laptop to change/add/remove roms on this device, but couldn't read or open the hidden partition on the supplied SD Card despite following the advice from you good people. I recently bought a cheap Chromebook, and found that this gave me instant access to all the details on the SD card supplied with the Y6. Subsequently I've been able to tailor the roms that this device can play, including removing games that I aren't interested in, and also adding other roms. Despite all my tinkering, the Y6 continues to work and plays the roms that I've added! Really nice to see PSP games running on my TV, and on such a cheap device - great shout Mr. Dweeb!!
Well done! Hope this comment helps some people out 🤓
Sorry for the noob question but if I wanted to back up the card on a more expensive/reliable card, can I just copy the files to my pc then drag them onto a new card?
For some reason I keep seeing stuff about using a specialist program to make an "image" etc...
Just a quick DISCLAIMER first - I'm a noob, and a pensioner too, which factors in it's own problems, lol, so none of this response is based on any sort of technical knowledge, just my own experience with this device! As you can see from my previous posts, I've only been to fully access the SD card supplied with the gamestick on my chromebook, so haven't been able to do anything with it on my Windows 7 laptop. I downloaded all the files on the gamestick onto my chromebook, then transferred them onto a SanDisk SD card, but it wouldn't work on the gamestick. I'm only guessing here, but I think that maybe when you switch on the gamestick, the emulator gets a boot instruction to look for specific files that are on the hidden partition, which i presume has a drive no. (?). As there wasn't a hidden partition on the card that I "made", then that's perhaps why it wouldn't work? I think that the idea of making an "image" of the original SD card may work as, in theory, it'll be a direct copy? I haven't had chance to do this yet as I need to do a bit of research into how to make an image. If you try, and it works, please let us know here. Good luck.@@anamomonouse
@@anamomonouse The whole "the included SD card is unreliable" schtick needs to die off already. Most people brick their SD card by powering it off during a write or some other end-user behavior. It's possible these SD cards are an old stock of a slower speed, but there's only a handful of facilities in the world that can make an SD card and I assure you they aren't going to deliberately make "bad" ones.
I have to admit. This is an awesome gift for someone who wants to relive 80s and 90s retro gaming. Thanks 4 the review❤
Switching back to a PC after 10 years and I decided to do some emulation again. I found your channel and man so much has changed. Definitely going to pick this up from my younger siblings. Great video with great detailed explanations. I feel like this game stick would be perfect to throw in a bag and take with you when you’re traveling and just plugging to hotel TVs and stuff. Definitely going to subscribe.
Welcome! Yeah I'm with ya. This is a great no-fuss device, small enough to bring with you and cheap enough that you don't care if it doesn't work flawlessly. I'm planning on bringing this and giving it to my buddy at his cottage.
You have become my fav when it comes to tech and Retro stuff. I have subscribed to many others but I'm beginning to think I only need yours. The only way is up for you man.
Thanks so much for saying so!
Literally spent days adding emulation to a Firestick 4k and then I see this. Can't wait to watch on and see whether it's any good! Keep up the great work Dweeb!
The Firestick is real PITA for doing emulation (I have the 4k Max) and , in the end, I decided it was absolutely not worth the headache, which is disappointing because it would have been a really nice bonus. Amazon just really doesn't seem to want you messing around that way because of the security on that thing. This game stick would be nice if you have the extra HDMI port and you don't care about the aspect ratio issue.
your better off using the firestick.
Is firestick good can run psp gta i see firestick everywhere i like tips about it
@@littergamer I used a standard 2017 and psp I did use frame skip. N64 seemed ok. Dream cast was ok and PS1 is fine. I have seen reviews and the 4k version can run fine on native speeds.
What do you all use on your firestick I need a lil help
I love that this console is super basic and you can’t change a lot of the settings. I have been looking for something like this for my niece and nephew. It’s perfect. I don’t want them to mess things up in retro arch and get lost in some retro arch menus. Love your videos.
Thanks buddy! I agree, it's great because you can't mess it up!
@@TechDweeb hey great episode
It's a good start. If they're like me they'll get the urge to tinker and figure it out themselves. c: They'll have all the roms already.
I like it every time you say POW KIDDY the cat comes out 😸
I’m dead 💀
Maaaan I just looove it 🤩🤩 🐱🐱🐱❤😊
Me too
If pow kitty doesn’t buy your pow kitty gif for their new mascot I don’t know what their marketing team is doing
youre a godsend for showing all the game titles on screen. im always looking to add new games to my library
Excellent review, TechDweeb literately answered all of my questions.
Im surprised on how well the PSP games ran.
Glad I could be of service!
Here recently i have become interested in emulation.I discovered your channel about 3-4 days ago and have watched a good handful of videos. Really have enjoyed watching and listening to you. Great little sprinkle of humor mixed in with very easy to understand information on the products you cover. This might be something i try out as i'm brand new to emulation. This one might be the good starting point. Yeah i'm with you on the aspect ratio and not being able to change that. But i can adjust my tv to fit that ratio like you showed with how you did that. Might be ordering this tomorrow.
Glad you're enjoying the vids! I agree, this is a good starting point. It's cheap enough that you can buy this and play around with it and enjoy it fully, but if you stick with the hobby and want more at least you didn't spend $200 on something you'll be upgrading, right?
I bought a Y6 thanks to you, and it might be the best 50 I've ever spent lol. Its right up my alley as plug and play
Great review! Just bought 4👌
Man. Technology has come a long ways in 20-30 years. Remember when we used to have to plug giant cartidges into a clunky box that would blink red half the time, along with multiple cords and a 50 pound converter box?
Watching this makes me wonder if they could design a similar device, with an option to plug in an SD card or thumb drive with other interfaces and multiple preinstalled games.
Haha I know right!
Looks like a great gift for my older uncles who haven't gamed since the og Xbox era
Yeah it's a great gift because it's so easy, nothing to screw up!~
The left right kitty combo is 🔥
This is rad! Thank you🙃 I'm not a powkiddy fella but I may absolutely grab one of these up!
I personally really like having full control over my retro game collection, even though it can be a massive pain in the ass at times. But I also know that most people have no absolutely desire to mess around with emulators, cores, front-ends, controller mapping, scraping for box art or any of that stuff, so I can see this being a good option for them.
It's not that I don't like emulation and would love the easier accessibility of having a bunch of my retro games right on my TV but 1 I don't know anything about it and 2 my old roommate stole my computer so couldn't even watch a TH-cam video and figure it out so thus I'm sticking with basement full of retro hardware that takes up tons of space 😂
Yeah I agree. This is so damn easy that anyone, even non techy people, can enjoy it and not worry about messing it up.
@TechDweeb well im going to have to do some research thanks
I've spent hours trying to work shit out and left frustrated not wanting to try. I've had it easy before but not lately. I want to customise things with only the games I want and space for more.
Your video is the best review on this!
TechDweeb, love your content. Anyways, I have a question. In PS1 emulation, does the 2nd thumbstick have its own input, or does it just mimmick the face buttons? Im thinking of buying one of these, and this is one of the dealbreakers for me.
This thing slaps. Just got mine today. I’m going to gift these to everybody. Playing couch coop games are a blast… so easy to jump in and out of games with a player 2. You rule tech dweeb
Nice! These would be awesome gifts for sure. Thanks buddy!
I wonder if I'm 1st in line bro
Great review 👏
Can anyone else vouch for the quality of this device? The comments/reviews on ali express don't seem too great.
Last question: did you test multiplayer with the two controllers? Just to be sure it works nicely when you play multiplayer. Multiplayer would be pretty cool for fighting games, sports game, and racing game. Thanks again
Yup! Worked!
I hate and love that I have bought multiple systems bc of you (Retroid Pocket 2+ and Powkiddy v90) This will be a perfect one to gift to my buddy who literally doesn't care to touch anything and just play right away so thank you good sir. I feel like I need to join this discord with all my weird Nvidia tablet and Nvidia clam shell systems that were sadly before their time.
The V90 is a solid system, I'm glad I talked you into that one! :P
Yeah I think this device is a great gift device, for people who don't want to fuss around with any settings and just want something that works without anything to mess up.
@@TechDweeb I think you're right. I've been watching for about a year now ever since I moved to New York from the south, so I just went back introvert to games. Keep up the great content man!
Mine came in yesterday. Pros: Great for a traveling game system. Lots of cool games and a nice library overall. Plenty to keep you busy. Cons: Some games are harder to work with the controllers (Star Wars arcade and Star Trek) and it starts to warm up. But this is great for what it is. I'll make sure to bring a USB fan with me when I travel to keep it cool. Overall it will do what I want it to: entertain me.
Thank you TechDweeb!
Enjoy!
Hey Jay, is your opinion still the same 5 months later? Is it worth the price? Is heating of the stick a big issue or just minor issue? Does it have a heavy plastic smell? Let us know your updated review on this. Thanks
I love your charm TechDweeb! Content is a very nice, I like!
Thanks buddy
Got one, and I love it, thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Love your video's Mr Dweeb!!! Makes me laugh out loud every time I see that Pow Kitty animation......🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha yeah I love that! I keep thinking I should review more Pow Kitty products just so I can whip that out more often :P
@@TechDweeb do you sell Merchandise? I would love a Pow Kitty t-shirt.
Just to clarify can you actually 1) save games? (Have you turned it off and back on to see that saved games are actually still there, and have you tried with a few different games to make sure)? 2) are the Roms organized without duplicates or broken roms or unplayable roms? 3) is it possible to add Roms? 4)can you hide the stick behind the tv to play or does it need to be exposed in front of the controllers for connectivity (sorry if it's a stupid question) 5) how are the controllers powered, and how long do their batteries last?
Thanks so much, love your videos
I guess you missed this question, please let me know thankksss @techtweeb
I'm looking for a loaded and ready box to plug straight into my tv. I was hoping to get a decent one that has gamecube and ps2 games ready and working too.
Any ideas are welcome
Thanks for a very informative video techdweeb I’ve been researching these game sticks and this seems like the clear winner I bought one today
Nice. Enjoy!
How's it holding up? Still the best available for ease of use?
I was just thinking the other day it would be cool if you reviewed one of these. I was looking at the cheaper ones that come with snes or genesis clone controllers but I imagine everything that matters to me was covered in this video thanks!
Lots of them are pretty crappy. I bought this one because since it has the s905x2 chip I thought it would be better than the super low end ones.
That thing is surprisingly capable for the price. Like really surprising.
Yeah it caught me off guard.
Beware that this thing freezes A LOT. I ordered one the day it appeared, and in PSP games always freezes after some minutes :(
U awesome bro I'm gettin one of this thank u for all the hard u put in your I luv your Contact
Should I worry if it heats up quickly because mine seems to.
I probably going to get this because WHY NOT! I can bring it on a trip. Even if there's no internet. I appreciate how it's just setup. Regardless of not being to adjust settings. Oh well it's a great deal.
Yeah I think it's great for that sort of usage. Just grab it and go, easy emulation with no fuss.
Cool review just found you so I have subscribed 🤓
Welcome!
when's part 2 of the pc building guide going live? :D
I just got parts for a new build for my wife and I'd like to see your take on building the system, an actual guide as you did there. That video helped me a lot choosing the parts for the next build, I didn't do it in quite some time and it was a great refresher :)
Nice emu stick video btw :D
It's on the way! That'll probably be the next video, or the one after that. Stay tuned buddy :)
Excellent review. I just ordered it. ty o7
Nice. Enjoy!
I wanna know if the voice he talks in is his real voice or his character voice for his youtube cause i feel like talking like that for a whole video would take awhile but if not then very good way to use your voice 👍
you deserve 100k at minima, I know it's going to happen very soon!
I hope you're right 🤞
@@TechDweeb Yes I'm! Unless the earth disappears under Godzilla's laser beam...should be ok! ;)
No tinkering, it just works? That's enough to sell me at this price. I dont mind a slightly stretched image if i can't find the aspect ratio button on my tv.
3:08 A-hole. Giggle giggle giggle
Are all the games sample games or are they all full story mode games?
P.S love your work. Respect
Full games my dude! I was actually quite impressed at the rom set.
Love the videos Dweeb! my favorite retro nerd
Thanks buddy
I love your videos and your reviews are always so well detailed.
And the device should be named Pow Kitty. 🐱 😂
I totally Subscribed.👍💯
Keep up the good work. 😎
Thanks for saying so :)
Not being able to change it to 4:3 is a major downside, such a shame, this device seems awesome all things considered.
hi, amazing review mate, but you didnt mention if we are able to save game plays and come back to them and continue where we left.
Yes you can, but there's only one save state per game.
Can games be added to the stick?
Well, if for some reason they HAD to have a filter and there was no way they could allow the user to toggle it, I think they made the right choice. Those original pixels were always smoothed by a CRT at the time.
Still no clue why they couldn't allow you to toggle it off though, that's odd.
Thank you for this great review.❤
Could you please tell me how do you connect the controllers with the stick? I just have a red, green blinking light or quick blinking light. Then they turn off with no connection.
You've plugged in the USB dongle for the controllers, right? Other than that I'm not sure what to suggest, they should 'just work'. If you've made sure to plug in the dongle and they're still not connecting maybe there's something wrong with the dongle?
@@TechDweeb I am stupid. Thank you Dweeb. And thank you again for representing this cool stick.
Just to let everyone know version 2.0 of the firmware is out now and what a improvement you still don't have full control but you can change screen ratio and controls there is also so nice music in the background. And also mutpital save states.

I'm very satisfied with this stick gameplay when i see your review but i need some save game when playing.. can this stick saves game when playing?? thats all i need here
Yes. It'll save the games via cartridge saves, and you can also use save states.
@@TechDweeb via catridge?? Does the consumer provide the stick with a catridge?
No no. I mean that the game will save normally (like, if you use the in-game save option), as if you were running the game off the original cartridge on original hardware. You don't need anything, your games will save fine :)
@@TechDweeb ok boss.. thanks..👍
I’m not sure if anyone still checks these comments, but can anyone verify if you’re able to connect multiple controllers? By that, I mean can you have 3 or 4 controllers connected, and how do you buy them
If you find this answer pls share
Looks awesome
The 2600 set is only a few megs compressed and the core would be small so I don't think it was a space issue.
As a test I added on atari 2600, it worked fine!
Don’t worry Techdweeb you are secrets safe with me bro 🤙🤣😂
🤫
just curious, what it be better to use a AC adapter to power it, as opposed to the USB port on a TV, it's possible this game stick, could draw more current than the USB port provides , and exceed 0.5 amps. just don't wanna roach it, if I get one lol
Yeah possibly. Really any usb port on a TV should have overcurrent protection. I used this plugged into my TV, into a monitor, and into a game capture (while plugged into my PC for power), and didn't have an issue with any of these.
Hello, thanks for the video. One of my gamepads just stop working. Do you know any other compatible gamepad with Y6?
Not that I have found, but if you contact the seller they should be able to offer you a replacement.
The controllers are rechargeable or they use batteries? Also, can I use a wired usb controller or other type of bluetooth controller with it? Besides save state. Other ways to save game?
Batteries. I'm not sure about other wired controllers or BT controllers (I don't have this with me right now to test for you), but usually you CAN use other controllers. You can save in-game or use save states.
@@TechDweeb ok. Thank you
The v90 has a screen that always tears in emulation. That's why I'm excited miyoo is making a clamshell in the sp form factor.
My v90 used to on stock. I have the 1.2v one so not the original one. Updated the firmware to a custom one and tearing seems very minimal for anything below the PlayStation now. My son uses it to play pokemon and Zelda games for what it is worth.
Wow I think wicked it's a package from China would love this consider the fact you say that the games run good great video thanks 👍 I should get this so I can free up some space on my phone 😂😂😂
This stick can save game when playing??
Yup!
@@TechDweeb The sd card got sell outside or not? Because i just bought this stick.. waiting for the shipping arrived..
cool review! does it get hot? would something like this be able to last a long time? like tons of hours on both device and controllers,
It does NOT get hot! A little warm, but not hot. I don't understand why tbh.
@@TechDweeb someone on a review wrote this," Has delay in the controls makes the game difficult since the controls are not precise" how are they actually? they seemed to work in your video.. any complaints?
Just watched the videos about making your own Emulation Drive. Is it possible to make your own Emulation Stick out of a Fire Stick or Chromecast? I want a small library of favorites, mostly N64 and older
It definitely is! You can install your own emulators, your own frontend (like Dig or Daijisho), and copy over all your games. I haven't tried that personally but it should work fine in theory.
Are Sega CD games on here?
That's very impressive and I'd seriously consider it but that aspect ratio issue would really get on my nerves over time, especially with the lack of other features like multiple save states. I do like it a lot though and if they tweak it just a tiny bit more, I might get one down the road. I definitely like it when they keep these things simple but I"d want to connect my own controller and change the aspect ratio as appropriate at the very least.
I'm with ya. If my TV/Monitor didn't have the aspect ratio option then I wouldn't even bother. But for me, since I have that, it actually was totally fine.
@@TechDweeb so God dweeb the holiest ..
I think its coming down to how we are so spoiled with getting used to save states on all of our handhelds
the POW KITTY toy branch. ah yes, the POW KITTY game stick. funi.
Good review. Subbed.
Welcome!
which resolutions? can i use this with a crt tv? using an av adapter…
Yes you can use it with a CRT TV with an AV adapter. I was doing it earlier myself!
receive mine today after watching your review. love and hate it so far. Do you think that we can install a bacotera or a full emuelec since its a Amlogic Aigame 905X2? Would love to get more "options" like aspect ratio or filtering.
I'm not sure tbh. I tried using an SD card from a different S905x2 device but it didn't work. Not sure if they're using a custom version of the chip or what. Would be worth a try though, to install an S905X2 fresh install of Emuelec on an SD card, see if that works.
Still waiting on mine. Did you get the 128 gb? Does it seem like there's more games if you did?
I would be curious what the "best" low cost plug and play option is, that has more options and solid PSP performance...
Y6
Someone named Gizmodo mentioned in a review that you can swap out the 2.4 GHz receiver that came with it and you can use a bluetooth receiver instead to connect to other wireless controllers
Just a quick question just looking for resident evil or some silent hill or some of the medal of honours are they on the stick? Just curious.
I just checked for ya. None of those on on here. But you can add your own games pretty easily, so if you have this you can download whatever games are missing and just copy them over to the sd card.
Can I save a game with this? I want to play some old Zelda games
Yup!
I ordered this from Amazon. Not got it yet. Do the controllers use batteries and what size?
I wonder how much of this great performance was due to the television model that was used?
I don't think that affects performance at all. I've used this on the TV, my monitor, and also my game capture device (where I recorded the footage) and the performance is the same.
PS1 games without music is a meh for me. Do you know if the larger drive version has them intact? I wonder if you source the PS1 games yourself for the full versions if it will run them. You didn't mention if you can add your own roms and isos.
Not sure if the larger version has the roms with sound, however you CAN add your own roms.
@@TechDweeb Sexy, tyvm. For the ones undoubtedly missing music (like Ridge Racer and Wipeout I bet) I just clear the games I don't need for the full ones. That works out. PS1 games aren't hard to find hehe. I see a lot of final fantasy games are missing too. Easy fix tho! ^^
"3D Game" gotta love the name 😂😂😂
Very creative name huh?
Wow, that's a surprise. Emuelec 4+ is supposed to require at least 2GB ram, yet usually incompetent Powkiddy made it work on a cheap stick this well. Wow.
I always thought your viewers are more technically inclined and knew what those emulation drives were the moment tgey saw them, I completely forgot how it was being new to the scene. You are educating new generation of techdweebs!
That said, I've had my eye on that V90 for ages, but never ordered. First packages started arriving late, or even never during Covid. Now, we've got either very expensive shipping, or very insecure, with 10% of goods not arriving and Aliexpress almost always siding with the seller. We don't have Amazon here (we can order, but with crazy shopping costs). I'll have to start and prowl ebay, maybe that's a new place for my country.
Yeah I know what you mean. Sometimes I'll make a vid on an emulation thing assuming everyone knows what it is and how to make it, and then I'll get the most basic questions and realize that lots of people want to play their old retro games but have no clue about the technical side.
Haw do i swich on off safe thank you
On the main menu press start and go to shutdown.
@@TechDweeb thank you so much I've got lot like it but deleted games safe thanks ordering one Monday not for DC or 64 mame and psp look good love your video on it game list be cool thank you agen
Does it have ds?
Hi, the HDMI plug on my Y6 broke so I can't plug it to my TV anymore. Can I take the Micro SD card out and plug it to my laptop or computer and play the games there? If so, do I have to configure anything?
Thank you!
Yes you can use the game files on the SD card on your computer, but you will need to install the emulators on your computer. Check out my "Perfect emulation drive" video for a tutorial on how to install Retrobat, which makes the process easy.
@@TechDweeb omg thank you so much for that info 😁! I thought I lost my money and had to buy another one! I was told "no" by another user. I'll watch your vid now!
I get mine in next Tuesday can't wait to play the heck out of it i just hope it has Need for speed underground and some of the Ssx games on it for Ppsspp. Can't wait to have a late night game session.
Did it live up to expectations?
What about Cruisin' USA for N64? Does it run fine?
Actually that game wasn't on here. Crusin' world was on it, and that ran nearly perfectly with only a few stutters but it was very playable. I didn't show it in the vid because I lost some of my footage.
Mine arrived with the Bluetooth dongle missing 😢
Did anyone try if it works with another game controller?
Yikes. Contact the company, they should be able to send you a replacement. I haven't been able to get this one to work with any other controllers, unfortunately.
Hi what could I do to the sticks heat
Can you change the aspect ratio on your tv to help the look of the screen stretching?
Yup. That's what I did in the gameplay that I captured.
Would it work with usb arcade controllers? If so this would be the best route for a homemade arcade machine
I couldn't get any other controllers to work other than the ones that came with it.
I know most of them come with controllers, but can any of the devices connect with other controllers? I’m trying to have a classic game night with my brothers and I would like to use the snes, genesis and n64 controllers I purchased from Nintendo.
Usually yes. I can't say for sure on this device but I imagine you'd be fine to use 3rd party controllers since it's based on emuelec 4+.
Thanks…. Ordered. Can’t wait!!
Love my handheld, but I can’t wait to sit around the tv waiting for turns like we used to do when we were younger even if it’s for one night.
@@gamefann
Did it work with the controllers you mentioned?
Looks good. But does golden eye run on it from n64?
I see two controllers - is there couch co-op/vs multiplayer? And any idea if the 128GB version has music in PS1 games?
Yes, you can definitely do couch multiplayer. I'm not sure if the 128gb version has music tbh. You can add your own roms though, so if a game you wanted didn't have music you could clear some space on the device and add your own version of that game.
Hey Dweeb....i was reading reviews. Did you ever lose co troller connectivity? How about input lag? Thanks
No and no. Controllers worked fine, and zero lag as far as I could tell.
I just ordered one! The one question I have is about lag, some reviews said there was poor input latency. I know there are a lot of variables to consider such as line of sight, distance, etc... and that makes me think user error is possible. Could you give your opinion from your experience with the Y6 on its input response time?
I didn't notice any lag or latency. My test is to play a shmup, if those feel perfect to me then I'm happy. And they did, here, when the device was plugged directly into the TV (I did notice some latency with my display capture, but that's pretty normal).
I'm Sorry friend, how to add games and covers on the stick? I managed to add games but not games covers, to add that you would need to open the gamelist.db file and add the titles added to the roms including the cover to see. Do you know how I can read that file? I tried with many programs but I didn't succeed, either I get an error when opening the file or I see it encrypted and I can't modify it by viewing it that way
Can I connect my 8bitdo controllers with it
Good question. It should technically be possible with emuelec 4+, but this is so stripped down it wouldn't surprise me if they cut out the bluetooth functionality.
I want one but I want my good controllers for it
Another TH-camr reviewed it and said he couldn’t connect any other controllers to it. 😔
Tech dweeb i love your show. So cool
Did you try any 2 player games with both controllers in use like fighting games?
