00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.520
there are literally hundreds of thousands of games for dozens of

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

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

00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:20.520
prices have soared so high that GPU prices are jealous

00:00:16.859 --> 00:00:21.720
emulation just makes sense no clutter no

00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:25.260
wear and tear on your valuable cartridges and disks and no worries

00:00:23.580 --> 00:00:31.439
about controller or video signal compatibility right well the fine folks

00:00:28.619 --> 00:00:35.880
selling machines like this on AliExpress have heard the call to action loud and

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:41.820
clear and they put out more consoles than anybody knows what to do hyper base

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:44.760
FC this is a football club it's a joke

00:00:41.820 --> 00:00:48.420
for my European friends the point is are these things any good can they play ROMs

00:00:46.980 --> 00:00:54.000
in any way that's close to how they performed on original Hardware or they

00:00:50.579 --> 00:00:56.879
just repurposed Android TV boxes is this

00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:02.039
a repurposed segue to our sponsor War Thunder War Thunder is a free to play

00:00:59.160 --> 00:01:06.900
online vehicle combat Sim Extravaganza with over 2 000 highly detailed Vehicles

00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:11.400
you can battle enemy forces in style click the link below to get a free Bonus

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

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

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:26.159
oh no way

00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:33.960
this is one of those things the whole console is the controller

00:01:30.299 --> 00:01:37.920
that is quite possibly the worst

00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:40.200
joystick I have ever felt ever it's like

00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:47.400
an even bigger version of that awful slide around one from the DS family it

00:01:43.259 --> 00:01:48.960
grinds wow a single AAA battery and with

00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:55.280
only a little bit of gross residue inside the enclosure

00:01:50.520 --> 00:01:55.280
wait wait is this a flashlight

00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:03.000
um I'll take unnecessary feature creep for a hundred

00:02:00.420 --> 00:02:11.280
s then we take our AV cable this is just mono audio and composite video and

00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:14.060
immediately we're up just like that whoa

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:17.900
that latency though wow oh

00:02:18.980 --> 00:02:27.239
okay this is the game for sure this is

00:02:23.300 --> 00:02:30.480
truly awful scaling like look at Mario's

00:02:27.239 --> 00:02:32.360
Sprite as he's moving around

00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:36.959
terrible and then if I want to play a different

00:02:34.260 --> 00:02:42.660
game reset oh wow that's it well I just realized

00:02:39.900 --> 00:02:49.800
that shape is like a Sonic oh you're right it's Sonic the Hedgehog

00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:51.959
shape which makes no sense at all at the

00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:55.200
price of this thing I'm having a pretty hard time justifying it they go for

00:02:53.700 --> 00:02:59.879
anywhere in the neighborhood of 20 to 30 bucks one other knock against it is it

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

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

00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:14.940
would have been pretty into it just like I'm into this next unboxing the game

00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:20.120
station five does this actually include

00:03:14.940 --> 00:03:20.120
two controllers oh it totally does

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:27.780
that looks very cheap we get only AV out

00:03:24.659 --> 00:03:30.599
at least we get power in this time no

00:03:27.780 --> 00:03:35.879
micro SD no HDMI which is really curious because it has

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

00:03:37.620 --> 00:03:45.260
Twos for a joystick one and joystick two no clip mod

00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:49.319
wow that's about as simple as it gets

00:03:45.260 --> 00:03:52.620
we've got some kind of soc on some kind

00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:54.000
of adapter board we've got some schmoo

00:03:52.620 --> 00:03:59.580
on here presumably because they don't want you to know what chip this is yep

00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:01.200
there is no MicroSD and no HDMI to be

00:03:59.580 --> 00:04:05.760
enabled I have to assume that this is a generic chassis and there are a variety

00:04:03.900 --> 00:04:11.040
of different boards that might end up inside it hey look it includes a little

00:04:07.799 --> 00:04:13.379
stand that and the 200 total games are

00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:18.959
already making me feel pretty good about this one

00:04:15.540 --> 00:04:20.880
the hell is this manual oh it's Russian

00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:26.880
right but for what this has a wireless controller

00:04:24.060 --> 00:04:32.220
this has some kind of gun it has game cartridges

00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:34.020
and we're wiring into a VHF box for some

00:04:32.220 --> 00:04:39.479
reason what the hell are they talking about dibs flare one

00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:43.080
oh there's no shoulder buttons but there

00:04:39.479 --> 00:04:44.759
are labels molded into it in case you

00:04:43.080 --> 00:04:52.320
forget which side is left and which side is right to prevent this

00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:54.360
is a very similar looking interface but

00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:57.600
based on that we can at least play Super Mario 3

00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:04.460
um maybe it's a little more powerful what the hell is fruit gift

00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.460
I have to know

00:05:05.100 --> 00:05:13.440
are we competing I have the same information that you do

00:05:10.380 --> 00:05:15.540
it's combat if combat isn't multiplayer

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

00:05:16.919 --> 00:05:25.259
they're down isn't that like against the Geneva Convention okay milk and nuts

00:05:22.500 --> 00:05:30.240
what is happening right now oh what the oh I'm dead so here's

00:05:28.139 --> 00:05:32.360
something fun uh this button goes to the side

00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:38.580
that's the extent of my buttons thanks for playing

00:05:35.699 --> 00:05:43.680
time to move on to the arcade box comes in a little carrying case

00:05:41.699 --> 00:05:49.740
controllers that actually weigh something even if they still feel pretty

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:54.320
knockoff Wireless though this is feeling like some more Primo

00:05:51.900 --> 00:05:59.580
bootleg right here oh though

00:05:56.580 --> 00:06:02.639
we did a video recently about these

00:05:59.580 --> 00:06:05.759
Android TV boxes which is presumably

00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:08.759
what this is and they can be just chock

00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:10.199
full of malware got a little 64 Gigabyte

00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:16.560
micro SD card do not remove warranty void you're not

00:06:13.979 --> 00:06:20.639
getting the warranty from arcade box you need two separate dongles for the

00:06:18.539 --> 00:06:25.020
two separate controllers brilliant let's see how it goes this thing better

00:06:23.039 --> 00:06:30.300
impress me much as my fellow Canadian would put it

00:06:26.960 --> 00:06:32.699
dollars yeah it's Android TV okay can

00:06:30.300 --> 00:06:37.100
confirm it's running mulak which is Linux distro that's specifically for

00:06:35.460 --> 00:06:42.560
emulation whoa okay

00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:45.180
45 PlayStation games

00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:49.500
I doubt it oh

00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:53.460
these are reversed Tanner tells me though that you can fix that in software

00:06:51.419 --> 00:06:57.300
which actually makes perfect sense joysticks usable

00:06:55.740 --> 00:07:03.840
I mean wow yeah emulation speed seems fine I'm

00:07:02.220 --> 00:07:07.979
a little surprised I mean for the price I shouldn't be surprised but for how

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

00:07:11.520 --> 00:07:17.160
absolutely whoops

00:07:15.180 --> 00:07:20.460
nothing would prevent you from just pulling out that micro SD card because

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

00:07:23.940 --> 00:07:30.060
caution you against plugging this into your network the device is very rooted

00:07:28.020 --> 00:07:34.560
including root file explorer shell emulator Etc which isn't necessarily a

00:07:33.060 --> 00:07:40.319
bad thing because it gives you full control over the system it just means

00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:42.539
that they also had full control over the

00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:45.900
system at some point the instructions are well written though so as long as

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

00:07:48.599 --> 00:07:55.139
controllers again for Grandma's house consider being pretty usable Tanner

00:07:53.580 --> 00:07:58.319
insists that I try a couple of other games that he loaded onto a USB drive

00:07:56.880 --> 00:08:03.599
that's kind of impressive actually you just throw games on a USB and it picks

00:08:00.539 --> 00:08:05.160
it up yeah I I find it it's quite nice

00:08:03.599 --> 00:08:08.520
unfortunately you do still have to follow the folder structure uh what are

00:08:06.960 --> 00:08:13.259
you expecting to go wrong here so we're gonna see some of the textures

00:08:11.039 --> 00:08:16.680
messing up we're gonna see things kind of fading in

00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:20.879
and out I see some textures messing up but in

00:08:18.599 --> 00:08:25.259
terms of my expectations for a machine like this it's pretty playable isn't it

00:08:23.220 --> 00:08:29.400
it's pretty playable yeah I think they loaded it up with all of

00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:33.180
the games that can reasonably run on this right that would explain why Crazy

00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:38.219
Taxi is the only Dreamcast game on this thing also Dreamcast games are really

00:08:35.219 --> 00:08:42.539
big and that's only a 64 gig micro SD

00:08:38.219 --> 00:08:45.300
hey it's time to do the hyper base FC

00:08:42.539 --> 00:08:51.360
Metro gaming console these controllers look Pro promising

00:08:48.839 --> 00:08:55.260
buttons are a little stiff but joysticks feel not bad and they've got all the

00:08:53.160 --> 00:09:00.060
buttons where I would expect them to be I don't think

00:08:57.300 --> 00:09:07.920
that the style of the controllers could be any further from the box itself if

00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:10.140
they tried oh oh that's pretty cool look

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

00:09:11.880 --> 00:09:17.940
drive or SSD in there and have basically all the freaking storage you could want

00:09:16.380 --> 00:09:25.140
it gets better wait wait there's a cartridge hold on

00:09:22.100 --> 00:09:27.360
there's a drive in the cartridge there's

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

00:09:29.940 --> 00:09:35.459
has zero games oh it's just adorable and shaped like a

00:09:34.140 --> 00:09:40.200
nest cartridge oh I like it

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

00:09:41.580 --> 00:09:48.420
quad core a53 processor we know it was set up with a Dell poweredge r740xd oh

00:09:47.040 --> 00:09:51.899
these are just like ROM hacks yeah I think that's one

00:09:50.760 --> 00:09:57.920
of the biggest selling features if one of these machines is ROM hacks hey this

00:09:54.779 --> 00:10:01.200
is cool hey what's up

00:09:57.920 --> 00:10:03.480
wait where'd you go behind you oh balls

00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:07.920
oh balls I think I'm gonna stall I think I stalled

00:10:04.820 --> 00:10:10.560
and I fly off into the sunset I'm

00:10:07.920 --> 00:10:20.339
guessing this one is 200 bucks I'm seeing it on AliExpress right now for

00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:22.440
61.27 USD 61 2 clear these are not

00:10:20.339 --> 00:10:27.260
amazing controllers by any stretch of the imagination I wouldn't pilot a

00:10:23.820 --> 00:10:29.760
submarine with them but for 65 bucks

00:10:27.260 --> 00:10:34.380
also including the console with all the pirating done for me well certainly a

00:10:32.040 --> 00:10:38.279
better value than that stupid overpriced one we looked at last time I think this

00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:41.640
is the winner so far actually I take back what I said about the quality of

00:10:39.660 --> 00:10:45.720
these controllers they feel pretty good in the hand but look at the size of this

00:10:43.620 --> 00:10:50.160
dead zone just like the original console

00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:56.459
no it's straight or friggin turn beats of

00:10:54.360 --> 00:11:01.560
Rage what is Beats of Rage that is a Thomas wave I think beats of

00:10:59.160 --> 00:11:07.620
rage is an open source version of Streets of Rage yeah but it

00:11:03.660 --> 00:11:09.540
it's a console oh

00:11:07.620 --> 00:11:13.680
well we're gonna have to play badass babes

00:11:10.860 --> 00:11:20.420
good loading screen what is this press attack to break free

00:11:16.760 --> 00:11:22.920
okay Yep this is gonna need to go unplug

00:11:20.420 --> 00:11:29.820
replug how about the super console x-king did they rip off Intel's skull

00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:32.339
branding yeah b-links done a couple

00:11:29.820 --> 00:11:37.079
different things that that has that skull branding on it yeah this one

00:11:34.740 --> 00:11:41.700
actually looks like kind of Premium it doesn't include a controller though

00:11:39.300 --> 00:11:46.140
this one also uses MicroSD for storage though I guess technically nothing would

00:11:43.560 --> 00:11:50.579
prevent you from plugging in a USB external drive whether it's a hard drive

00:11:47.820 --> 00:11:54.720
or a USB thumb drive some key stats for this one it uses an s922x processor

00:11:53.040 --> 00:12:01.260
which is significantly more powerful than the s905x that we saw before and

00:11:57.959 --> 00:12:03.779
it's running Android nine

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

00:12:06.540 --> 00:12:10.920
true this thing's got to be rooted as

00:12:09.660 --> 00:12:16.680
hell I like their interface though the art on

00:12:14.579 --> 00:12:19.519
this particular one is really nice the art is really nice

00:12:20.459 --> 00:12:26.880
really nice interface but one of the things we noticed is that

00:12:24.899 --> 00:12:31.140
there are a lot of games missing from their N64 Library compared to the other

00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:34.680
consoles that we've looked at so the only conclusion we can draw there is

00:12:33.180 --> 00:12:39.899
that it probably doesn't handle them very well for some reason which is weird

00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:42.540
because it uses an s922x processor

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

00:12:44.700 --> 00:12:49.680
this is a very incomplete game Library they've got most of the ones I would

00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:54.000
care about though Ocarina of Time Star Fox 64. I mean is

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

00:12:57.300 --> 00:13:05.639
problem power of the hardware is reflected in the price this one goes for about 125

00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:07.200
dollars without all the mulex stuff

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

00:13:09.540 --> 00:13:16.920
got ours from kin Hank and they're the ones who are loading all the software

00:13:13.560 --> 00:13:19.920
onto it so you're paying about 15 extra

00:13:16.920 --> 00:13:22.160
for them to configure it for you load it

00:13:19.920 --> 00:13:27.060
up with a bunch of games and then hopefully not put anything malicious on

00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:29.940
it the nand runs Android version 9 and the only other really interesting thing

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

00:13:33.300 --> 00:13:40.680
a high speed USB storage device you might get slightly better performance

00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:43.560
out of it theoretically if you can get a

00:13:40.680 --> 00:13:50.040
good Android install going that will be a pretty good TV box too bringing us to

00:13:46.019 --> 00:13:54.360
our last the super console X pro comes

00:13:50.040 --> 00:13:59.519
in oh my goodness two boxes

00:13:54.360 --> 00:14:02.519
wow laser cut acrylic enclosure with a

00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:06.800
kin Hank logo lasered into the side of

00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:06.800
it okay 60 mil cooling fan

00:14:08.040 --> 00:14:12.980
a USB hub does it come with four controllers

00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:20.899
or controller but hey these are those same controllers again they are well we

00:14:18.420 --> 00:14:26.220
are shorted two dongles I think I noticed kin Hank has come up a lot are

00:14:24.060 --> 00:14:31.260
these guys a power player in the pirated Android game console space it seems like

00:14:28.740 --> 00:14:36.839
they're just buying and then reselling Android boxes essentially but they're

00:14:34.380 --> 00:14:42.240
they also carry a couple of x86 computers

00:14:38.220 --> 00:14:44.160
that is a friggin loud fan

00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:48.779
and it smells oh oh you

00:14:46.620 --> 00:14:51.920
what the heck why does it smell

00:14:52.260 --> 00:14:56.360
this looks pretty good for a virtual boy game though

00:14:56.459 --> 00:15:03.779
oopsie daisies this is completely unusable

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

00:15:07.620 --> 00:15:15.240
powerful console we've seen today now my question for you is is this really what

00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:18.060
was in the picture on the site they have

00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:25.440
two different versions of this I bet they do this is a super console X Pro

00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:27.959
Plus the X pro looks almost like a super

00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:32.579
famicom and from what I can tell isn't actively cooled which I never thought

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

00:15:36.060 --> 00:15:44.579
right into the DC jack and no way it is

00:15:41.880 --> 00:15:48.060
that is the stupidest thing I've ever seen ever you want to see something

00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:52.260
stupider it's all together with these plastic screws there are a couple

00:15:50.100 --> 00:15:57.480
consoles we saw today that if you're comfortable with the piracy and uh

00:15:55.380 --> 00:16:02.160
profiting off of others IP aspect of these products could recommend the one

00:16:00.420 --> 00:16:05.940
with the slot loading cartridge in the top that one's pretty cool what's that

00:16:03.959 --> 00:16:10.560
one called again hyperbase FC but the performance not that great yeah but the

00:16:07.560 --> 00:16:13.199
price I mean yeah the 150 one was

00:16:10.560 --> 00:16:17.459
definitely smoother but it cost twice as much and that one was 65 bucks it

00:16:14.880 --> 00:16:22.139
includes two controllers and a 500 gig hard drive again it comes back to

00:16:19.560 --> 00:16:25.800
Grandma's house come to Grandma if you just want something for the kids to do

00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:30.360
that's cheap and cheerful there's far worse ways to spend your

00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:35.880
money this one on the other hand this one is stupid like this stupid segue to
