1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,520
there are literally hundreds of thousands of games for dozens of

2
00:00:03,419 --> 00:00:08,519
consoles but if you want to play any of them you will not only need the console

3
00:00:07,319 --> 00:00:15,420
they were made for you'll need a controller it's easy that can display it and the game itself and since retro game

4
00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:20,520
prices have soared so high that GPU prices are jealous

5
00:00:16,859 --> 00:00:21,720
emulation just makes sense no clutter no

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:25,260
wear and tear on your valuable cartridges and disks and no worries

7
00:00:23,580 --> 00:00:31,439
about controller or video signal compatibility right well the fine folks

8
00:00:28,619 --> 00:00:35,880
selling machines like this on AliExpress have heard the call to action loud and

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:41,820
clear and they put out more consoles than anybody knows what to do hyper base

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,760
FC this is a football club it's a joke

11
00:00:41,820 --> 00:00:48,420
for my European friends the point is are these things any good can they play ROMs

12
00:00:46,980 --> 00:00:54,000
in any way that's close to how they performed on original Hardware or they

13
00:00:50,579 --> 00:00:56,879
just repurposed Android TV boxes is this

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:02,039
a repurposed segue to our sponsor War Thunder War Thunder is a free to play

15
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:06,900
online vehicle combat Sim Extravaganza with over 2 000 highly detailed Vehicles

16
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:11,400
you can battle enemy forces in style click the link below to get a free Bonus

17
00:01:09,119 --> 00:01:16,560
Pack I can't wait to get to the game station five but I have to because we're

18
00:01:14,220 --> 00:01:23,640
starting with the me pad 80. this is the whole thing 89 inches 89 inches of what

19
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,159
oh no way

20
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:33,960
this is one of those things the whole console is the controller

21
00:01:30,299 --> 00:01:37,920
that is quite possibly the worst

22
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:40,200
joystick I have ever felt ever it's like

23
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:47,400
an even bigger version of that awful slide around one from the DS family it

24
00:01:43,259 --> 00:01:48,960
grinds wow a single AAA battery and with

25
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:55,280
only a little bit of gross residue inside the enclosure

26
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:55,280
wait wait is this a flashlight

27
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:03,000
um I'll take unnecessary feature creep for a hundred

28
00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:11,280
s then we take our AV cable this is just mono audio and composite video and

29
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:14,060
immediately we're up just like that whoa

30
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:17,900
that latency though wow oh

31
00:02:18,980 --> 00:02:27,239
okay this is the game for sure this is

32
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:30,480
truly awful scaling like look at Mario's

33
00:02:27,239 --> 00:02:32,360
Sprite as he's moving around

34
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:36,959
terrible and then if I want to play a different

35
00:02:34,260 --> 00:02:42,660
game reset oh wow that's it well I just realized

36
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:49,800
that shape is like a Sonic oh you're right it's Sonic the Hedgehog

37
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,959
shape which makes no sense at all at the

38
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:55,200
price of this thing I'm having a pretty hard time justifying it they go for

39
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:59,879
anywhere in the neighborhood of 20 to 30 bucks one other knock against it is it

40
00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:03,540
has to be powered by battery but I also gotta say as a nine-year-old visiting

41
00:03:01,980 --> 00:03:08,700
Grandma's house in the summer if he'd had one of these instead of nothing I

42
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:14,940
would have been pretty into it just like I'm into this next unboxing the game

43
00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:20,120
station five does this actually include

44
00:03:14,940 --> 00:03:20,120
two controllers oh it totally does

45
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:27,780
that looks very cheap we get only AV out

46
00:03:24,659 --> 00:03:30,599
at least we get power in this time no

47
00:03:27,780 --> 00:03:35,879
micro SD no HDMI which is really curious because it has

48
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:39,599
spots in the mold for it reset and power buttons in the front and then two USB

49
00:03:37,620 --> 00:03:45,260
Twos for a joystick one and joystick two no clip mod

50
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:49,319
wow that's about as simple as it gets

51
00:03:45,260 --> 00:03:52,620
we've got some kind of soc on some kind

52
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:54,000
of adapter board we've got some schmoo

53
00:03:52,620 --> 00:03:59,580
on here presumably because they don't want you to know what chip this is yep

54
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,200
there is no MicroSD and no HDMI to be

55
00:03:59,580 --> 00:04:05,760
enabled I have to assume that this is a generic chassis and there are a variety

56
00:04:03,900 --> 00:04:11,040
of different boards that might end up inside it hey look it includes a little

57
00:04:07,799 --> 00:04:13,379
stand that and the 200 total games are

58
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:18,959
already making me feel pretty good about this one

59
00:04:15,540 --> 00:04:20,880
the hell is this manual oh it's Russian

60
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:26,880
right but for what this has a wireless controller

61
00:04:24,060 --> 00:04:32,220
this has some kind of gun it has game cartridges

62
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:34,020
and we're wiring into a VHF box for some

63
00:04:32,220 --> 00:04:39,479
reason what the hell are they talking about dibs flare one

64
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:43,080
oh there's no shoulder buttons but there

65
00:04:39,479 --> 00:04:44,759
are labels molded into it in case you

66
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:52,320
forget which side is left and which side is right to prevent this

67
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:54,360
is a very similar looking interface but

68
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:57,600
based on that we can at least play Super Mario 3

69
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:04,460
um maybe it's a little more powerful what the hell is fruit gift

70
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,460
I have to know

71
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:13,440
are we competing I have the same information that you do

72
00:05:10,380 --> 00:05:15,540
it's combat if combat isn't multiplayer

73
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,300
I don't know what will be wait what you have to you have to hit these guys while

74
00:05:16,919 --> 00:05:25,259
they're down isn't that like against the Geneva Convention okay milk and nuts

75
00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:30,240
what is happening right now oh what the oh I'm dead so here's

76
00:05:28,139 --> 00:05:32,360
something fun uh this button goes to the side

77
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:38,580
that's the extent of my buttons thanks for playing

78
00:05:35,699 --> 00:05:43,680
time to move on to the arcade box comes in a little carrying case

79
00:05:41,699 --> 00:05:49,740
controllers that actually weigh something even if they still feel pretty

80
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:54,320
knockoff Wireless though this is feeling like some more Primo

81
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:59,580
bootleg right here oh though

82
00:05:56,580 --> 00:06:02,639
we did a video recently about these

83
00:05:59,580 --> 00:06:05,759
Android TV boxes which is presumably

84
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:08,759
what this is and they can be just chock

85
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:10,199
full of malware got a little 64 Gigabyte

86
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:16,560
micro SD card do not remove warranty void you're not

87
00:06:13,979 --> 00:06:20,639
getting the warranty from arcade box you need two separate dongles for the

88
00:06:18,539 --> 00:06:25,020
two separate controllers brilliant let's see how it goes this thing better

89
00:06:23,039 --> 00:06:30,300
impress me much as my fellow Canadian would put it

90
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:32,699
dollars yeah it's Android TV okay can

91
00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:37,100
confirm it's running mulak which is Linux distro that's specifically for

92
00:06:35,460 --> 00:06:42,560
emulation whoa okay

93
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:45,180
45 PlayStation games

94
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:49,500
I doubt it oh

95
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:53,460
these are reversed Tanner tells me though that you can fix that in software

96
00:06:51,419 --> 00:06:57,300
which actually makes perfect sense joysticks usable

97
00:06:55,740 --> 00:07:03,840
I mean wow yeah emulation speed seems fine I'm

98
00:07:02,220 --> 00:07:07,979
a little surprised I mean for the price I shouldn't be surprised but for how

99
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:12,900
light this thing is I am a little surprised one cool thing about this one is that

100
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:17,160
absolutely whoops

101
00:07:15,180 --> 00:07:20,460
nothing would prevent you from just pulling out that micro SD card because

102
00:07:19,139 --> 00:07:25,620
realistically what you care about your warranty on this thing and putting different games on it however I would

103
00:07:23,940 --> 00:07:30,060
caution you against plugging this into your network the device is very rooted

104
00:07:28,020 --> 00:07:34,560
including root file explorer shell emulator Etc which isn't necessarily a

105
00:07:33,060 --> 00:07:40,319
bad thing because it gives you full control over the system it just means

106
00:07:37,319 --> 00:07:42,539
that they also had full control over the

107
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:45,900
system at some point the instructions are well written though so as long as

108
00:07:44,099 --> 00:07:51,539
you're happy with the game library and you don't mind the Fairly cheap I mean

109
00:07:48,599 --> 00:07:55,139
controllers again for Grandma's house consider being pretty usable Tanner

110
00:07:53,580 --> 00:07:58,319
insists that I try a couple of other games that he loaded onto a USB drive

111
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:03,599
that's kind of impressive actually you just throw games on a USB and it picks

112
00:08:00,539 --> 00:08:05,160
it up yeah I I find it it's quite nice

113
00:08:03,599 --> 00:08:08,520
unfortunately you do still have to follow the folder structure uh what are

114
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:13,259
you expecting to go wrong here so we're gonna see some of the textures

115
00:08:11,039 --> 00:08:16,680
messing up we're gonna see things kind of fading in

116
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:20,879
and out I see some textures messing up but in

117
00:08:18,599 --> 00:08:25,259
terms of my expectations for a machine like this it's pretty playable isn't it

118
00:08:23,220 --> 00:08:29,400
it's pretty playable yeah I think they loaded it up with all of

119
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:33,180
the games that can reasonably run on this right that would explain why Crazy

120
00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:38,219
Taxi is the only Dreamcast game on this thing also Dreamcast games are really

121
00:08:35,219 --> 00:08:42,539
big and that's only a 64 gig micro SD

122
00:08:38,219 --> 00:08:45,300
hey it's time to do the hyper base FC

123
00:08:42,539 --> 00:08:51,360
Metro gaming console these controllers look Pro promising

124
00:08:48,839 --> 00:08:55,260
buttons are a little stiff but joysticks feel not bad and they've got all the

125
00:08:53,160 --> 00:09:00,060
buttons where I would expect them to be I don't think

126
00:08:57,300 --> 00:09:07,920
that the style of the controllers could be any further from the box itself if

127
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:10,140
they tried oh oh that's pretty cool look

128
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:13,920
there's a SATA interface so you could just plonk a two and a half inch hard

129
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:17,940
drive or SSD in there and have basically all the freaking storage you could want

130
00:09:16,380 --> 00:09:25,140
it gets better wait wait there's a cartridge hold on

131
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:27,360
there's a drive in the cartridge there's

132
00:09:25,140 --> 00:09:31,560
a hard drive in the car Wait so hold on does it does it have any it currently

133
00:09:29,940 --> 00:09:35,459
has zero games oh it's just adorable and shaped like a

134
00:09:34,140 --> 00:09:40,200
nest cartridge oh I like it

135
00:09:38,580 --> 00:09:43,680
there's not much we know about the hardware right out of the box it's a

136
00:09:41,580 --> 00:09:48,420
quad core a53 processor we know it was set up with a Dell poweredge r740xd oh

137
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,899
these are just like ROM hacks yeah I think that's one

138
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:57,920
of the biggest selling features if one of these machines is ROM hacks hey this

139
00:09:54,779 --> 00:10:01,200
is cool hey what's up

140
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:03,480
wait where'd you go behind you oh balls

141
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:07,920
oh balls I think I'm gonna stall I think I stalled

142
00:10:04,820 --> 00:10:10,560
and I fly off into the sunset I'm

143
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:20,339
guessing this one is 200 bucks I'm seeing it on AliExpress right now for

144
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:22,440
61.27 USD 61 2 clear these are not

145
00:10:20,339 --> 00:10:27,260
amazing controllers by any stretch of the imagination I wouldn't pilot a

146
00:10:23,820 --> 00:10:29,760
submarine with them but for 65 bucks

147
00:10:27,260 --> 00:10:34,380
also including the console with all the pirating done for me well certainly a

148
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:38,279
better value than that stupid overpriced one we looked at last time I think this

149
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:41,640
is the winner so far actually I take back what I said about the quality of

150
00:10:39,660 --> 00:10:45,720
these controllers they feel pretty good in the hand but look at the size of this

151
00:10:43,620 --> 00:10:50,160
dead zone just like the original console

152
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:56,459
no it's straight or friggin turn beats of

153
00:10:54,360 --> 00:11:01,560
Rage what is Beats of Rage that is a Thomas wave I think beats of

154
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:07,620
rage is an open source version of Streets of Rage yeah but it

155
00:11:03,660 --> 00:11:09,540
it's a console oh

156
00:11:07,620 --> 00:11:13,680
well we're gonna have to play badass babes

157
00:11:10,860 --> 00:11:20,420
good loading screen what is this press attack to break free

158
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:22,920
okay Yep this is gonna need to go unplug

159
00:11:20,420 --> 00:11:29,820
replug how about the super console x-king did they rip off Intel's skull

160
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:32,339
branding yeah b-links done a couple

161
00:11:29,820 --> 00:11:37,079
different things that that has that skull branding on it yeah this one

162
00:11:34,740 --> 00:11:41,700
actually looks like kind of Premium it doesn't include a controller though

163
00:11:39,300 --> 00:11:46,140
this one also uses MicroSD for storage though I guess technically nothing would

164
00:11:43,560 --> 00:11:50,579
prevent you from plugging in a USB external drive whether it's a hard drive

165
00:11:47,820 --> 00:11:54,720
or a USB thumb drive some key stats for this one it uses an s922x processor

166
00:11:53,040 --> 00:12:01,260
which is significantly more powerful than the s905x that we saw before and

167
00:11:57,959 --> 00:12:03,779
it's running Android nine

168
00:12:01,260 --> 00:12:09,660
but that's only the nand this is still loading up emulek oh I guess yeah that's

169
00:12:06,540 --> 00:12:10,920
true this thing's got to be rooted as

170
00:12:09,660 --> 00:12:16,680
hell I like their interface though the art on

171
00:12:14,579 --> 00:12:19,519
this particular one is really nice the art is really nice

172
00:12:20,459 --> 00:12:26,880
really nice interface but one of the things we noticed is that

173
00:12:24,899 --> 00:12:31,140
there are a lot of games missing from their N64 Library compared to the other

174
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:34,680
consoles that we've looked at so the only conclusion we can draw there is

175
00:12:33,180 --> 00:12:39,899
that it probably doesn't handle them very well for some reason which is weird

176
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:42,540
because it uses an s922x processor

177
00:12:39,899 --> 00:12:46,800
instead of an s905 which is quite a bit more powerful it could just be that it

178
00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:49,680
this is a very incomplete game Library they've got most of the ones I would

179
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:54,000
care about though Ocarina of Time Star Fox 64. I mean is

180
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:58,200
it flashing up the top of the screen always there uh no that seems to be a

181
00:12:57,300 --> 00:13:05,639
problem power of the hardware is reflected in the price this one goes for about 125

182
00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:07,200
dollars without all the mulex stuff

183
00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:12,240
pre-loaded on it you can see it's got b-link branding on it but we actually

184
00:13:09,540 --> 00:13:16,920
got ours from kin Hank and they're the ones who are loading all the software

185
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:19,920
onto it so you're paying about 15 extra

186
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:22,160
for them to configure it for you load it

187
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:27,060
up with a bunch of games and then hopefully not put anything malicious on

188
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,940
it the nand runs Android version 9 and the only other really interesting thing

189
00:13:28,260 --> 00:13:35,579
I think about the hardware here is that these USB ports are USB 3. so if you had

190
00:13:33,300 --> 00:13:40,680
a high speed USB storage device you might get slightly better performance

191
00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:43,560
out of it theoretically if you can get a

192
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:50,040
good Android install going that will be a pretty good TV box too bringing us to

193
00:13:46,019 --> 00:13:54,360
our last the super console X pro comes

194
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:59,519
in oh my goodness two boxes

195
00:13:54,360 --> 00:14:02,519
wow laser cut acrylic enclosure with a

196
00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:06,800
kin Hank logo lasered into the side of

197
00:14:02,519 --> 00:14:06,800
it okay 60 mil cooling fan

198
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,980
a USB hub does it come with four controllers

199
00:14:14,519 --> 00:14:20,899
or controller but hey these are those same controllers again they are well we

200
00:14:18,420 --> 00:14:26,220
are shorted two dongles I think I noticed kin Hank has come up a lot are

201
00:14:24,060 --> 00:14:31,260
these guys a power player in the pirated Android game console space it seems like

202
00:14:28,740 --> 00:14:36,839
they're just buying and then reselling Android boxes essentially but they're

203
00:14:34,380 --> 00:14:42,240
they also carry a couple of x86 computers

204
00:14:38,220 --> 00:14:44,160
that is a friggin loud fan

205
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:48,779
and it smells oh oh you

206
00:14:46,620 --> 00:14:51,920
what the heck why does it smell

207
00:14:52,260 --> 00:14:56,360
this looks pretty good for a virtual boy game though

208
00:14:56,459 --> 00:15:03,779
oopsie daisies this is completely unusable

209
00:15:01,079 --> 00:15:10,139
and it's not even super powerful this is using an s905x so it's not even the most

210
00:15:07,620 --> 00:15:15,240
powerful console we've seen today now my question for you is is this really what

211
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:18,060
was in the picture on the site they have

212
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:25,440
two different versions of this I bet they do this is a super console X Pro

213
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:27,959
Plus the X pro looks almost like a super

214
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:32,579
famicom and from what I can tell isn't actively cooled which I never thought

215
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:41,880
would have been a bad thing but here we are it smells it's loud it's soldered

216
00:15:36,060 --> 00:15:44,579
right into the DC jack and no way it is

217
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:48,060
that is the stupidest thing I've ever seen ever you want to see something

218
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:52,260
stupider it's all together with these plastic screws there are a couple

219
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:57,480
consoles we saw today that if you're comfortable with the piracy and uh

220
00:15:55,380 --> 00:16:02,160
profiting off of others IP aspect of these products could recommend the one

221
00:16:00,420 --> 00:16:05,940
with the slot loading cartridge in the top that one's pretty cool what's that

222
00:16:03,959 --> 00:16:10,560
one called again hyperbase FC but the performance not that great yeah but the

223
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:13,199
price I mean yeah the 150 one was

224
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:17,459
definitely smoother but it cost twice as much and that one was 65 bucks it

225
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:22,139
includes two controllers and a 500 gig hard drive again it comes back to

226
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:25,800
Grandma's house come to Grandma if you just want something for the kids to do

227
00:16:23,639 --> 00:16:30,360
that's cheap and cheerful there's far worse ways to spend your

228
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:35,880
money this one on the other hand this one is stupid like this stupid segue to
