1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,640
the M25 by estam comes with one of the

2
00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:10,519
most unusual takes on intellectual property that I've ever seen this device

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:16,279
has pre-installed more than 30 copyright games that's right friends this is one

4
00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:17,680
of those pirated game consoles if users

5
00:00:16,279 --> 00:00:23,519
need to install other game programs they should pay attention to the copyright of the content if there are disputes or

6
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:28,840
other liabilities caused by copyright it has nothing to do with our company

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:34,079
brother you guys ripped off a PlayStation portal and put a lot more

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:38,640
than 30 pirated games on it the website claims

9
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:43,920
30,000 pirated games and there's a lot more to be fascinated by back here it

10
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:48,079
runs Linux has a 3D rocker and offers

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:52,520
excellent 4K image quality on its 480 in

12
00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:54,239
X 272 in display now I'm not American so

13
00:00:52,520 --> 00:01:02,000
inches are not really my measurement of choice but I think you might mean 480

14
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:03,080
pixels x 272 pixels on a 4 in display

15
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,960
how big is this 4.3 in however in spite of all that

16
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:15,600
I'm actually kind of stoked on this thing which means it's a good thing it has an anti-skid design otherwise no

17
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:17,680
wonder where it would be safe for my

18
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:22,600
excitement I think they mean the grippy tops on the on the joysticks W it boots

19
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:29,759
up pretty fast it turns off immediately this is

20
00:01:26,119 --> 00:01:31,960
just is this switch just power just cut

21
00:01:29,759 --> 00:01:35,320
the power got what appears to be an air intake over here and then I don't know

22
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:40,920
there's another one but that seems to be blocked no obvious exhaust mini HDMI out

23
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:49,320
though so you can hook it up to your TV headphone jack micro SD slot and USBC

24
00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:51,000
charging oh uh okay I had heard that the

25
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:55,040
triggers had an issue getting caught on the housing I didn't expect it to happen

26
00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:59,479
the very first time I touched them well they seem to be okay now got our

27
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:03,360
shoulder buttons over here pretty mushy

28
00:01:59,479 --> 00:02:05,399
face buttons I would say and a usable

29
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:09,239
d-pad but I mean realistically what are your expectations for something like

30
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,480
this plus minus here appears to be for volume control and then we've got start

31
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:16,920
and select both of them are labeled home I guess they couldn't be bothered to do

32
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:22,720
another mold that doesn't have home on it the joystick seem again functional

33
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:28,360
enough oops did I launch something how did that happen I'm sure that was on me

34
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,360
the U interface is just it's a Linux

35
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:34,879
drro that's sort of heed towards emulation that that was probably not on

36
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:39,040
them uh what also isn't on them is this message from our sponsor dbrand who is

37
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:43,519
promoting dark PL really they're promoting dark plates do those guys ever

38
00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:47,720
miss an opportunity to kind of like twist the knife on Sony if you want your

39
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:51,920
PlayStation 5 to look a little less like a PlayStation 5 and more like a

40
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:55,440
PlayStation 5 with dark plates on it they've got a bunch of different styles

41
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:59,239
and they even offer Innovations like cooling

42
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,120
holes sorry I mean speed holes but they don't make it go faster faster they make

43
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:06,799
it run cooler let's play a game I've played before so I know how it should compare

44
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:12,760
to the original experience played a ton of this as a kid there's a bit of a

45
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,280
weird moare on the screen uh that's not

46
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:18,640
visible in person it actually looks pretty darn good uh the sound is not

47
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:26,360
very good this game actually has a banger soundtrack oh yeah here we

48
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:30,760
go bring it on uh Ed or Bonsai I think

49
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:32,640
dang it okay got him

50
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:40,400
you know what though for all my complaints about the d-pad and the um

51
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:42,120
the ABX y being kind of mid um and like

52
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:47,680
the travel is longer than I'd like to see on the d-pads and stuff like I'm not

53
00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:48,879
quick on it it's definitely good enough

54
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,799
with that said I'm not trying to play a fighting game or anything like that the

55
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:59,760
question now is how it's going to handle more demanding systems it's got a pretty basic quad core cortex a55 processor

56
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:02,920
from Rockchip with a pretty mid Mai G

57
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:06,879
CPU so I got to say it's a pretty

58
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:11,239
complete seeming package man I am I am

59
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:16,919
sucking right now get out of

60
00:04:11,239 --> 00:04:18,600
here oh man flashbacks anyway no issues

61
00:04:16,919 --> 00:04:24,800
running SNES games that crappy frame rate is true to the original game and

62
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:27,240
actually this kind of low Fidelity audio

63
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:31,880
sounds pretty okay on the speakers and I quite like the screen as well it seems

64
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:36,680
accurate enough that it wouldn't bother me of course Super Nintendo not the most

65
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:41,240
demanding thing why don't we step things up a generation and move to the

66
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:44,720
N64 which trigger oh man those triggers are

67
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:49,440
terrible okay now to evaluate the joysticks dude these dead zones I don't

68
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:55,039
even know how to deal with this like I might as well be using the d-pad at this

69
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,720
point oh this is really difficult to

70
00:04:55,039 --> 00:05:00,479
deal with with that said the emulation

71
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,199
smoothness other than those couple of hiccups that I saw

72
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,199
earlier dude I have no fine control I

73
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,440
don't know if I can I don't know if I can do this I'm just I'm going to get

74
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,320
one green shell and that's going to be all I need or a

75
00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:24,400
star ah got him let's

76
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:26,560
go the joysticks are terrible however

77
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:31,120
the emulation performance so far has been pretty decent that's not a lot of

78
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:36,720
PlayStation games that kind of makes sense though this is the 128 gig version

79
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:38,520
I don't have uh oh oh you just pull

80
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:42,960
it CHF memory card I have no idea who you

81
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,960
are but I guess you probably make good memory cards how am I playing a game

82
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:52,440
right now no no it's not it's not in the RAM o

83
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,440
high

84
00:05:54,560 --> 00:06:01,840
jump oh yeah oh yeah no

85
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:07,800
no no this way harder than it looks fudge

86
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:12,800
never get out of here

87
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,599
no did I just do like amazing the first

88
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:18,880
time and it's like impossible to clear it again oh no I got it I got it I got

89
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:22,280
it you know that game does make me wonder though if the timing was so

90
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:29,160
difficult because of input legs so I'm going to play a game I'm really familiar with and see how it feels on

91
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,919
this uh where's my Super Mario World at

92
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:36,360
let's go wait there's no Super Mario World on

93
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,360
here hold on are there no Mario

94
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:42,880
games oh no touchcreen a bit of a downer

95
00:06:40,479 --> 00:06:50,639
that didn't even occur to me there's no Mario games wait there was Mario Kart

96
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:54,080
hold on a sec what it had Mario Kart 64

97
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:55,560
on it and he recommended this game yeah

98
00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:00,800
I don't think I can really blame the input lag on this for my woses

99
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:04,440
everything that's on here should run

100
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:06,360
pretty okay and yeah this experience is

101
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:12,840
something that could easily be recreated by installing EMC on basically anything

102
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:15,560
and loading some ROMs onto it but the

103
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:20,120
package here is not the worst value it is it 90 bucks and it's amazing how much

104
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:25,400
value you can deliver to your customers when you infringe other people's IP and

105
00:07:22,759 --> 00:07:30,560
except no disputes or other liabilities caused by copyright it has nothing to do

106
00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:34,039
with our company so I can't promote buying this thing but what I can say is

107
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:38,240
if I was trying to keep my kids busy in the backseat on a long road trip there's

108
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:42,360
certainly worse ways to do it in conclusion these pirate consoles raise

109
00:07:40,039 --> 00:07:44,960
all kinds of legal and ethical concerns but I'm not going to tell you what you

110
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:49,879
should or shouldn't buy what I will tell you is if you spend your about $90 I

111
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:54,280
think on the 128 gig version of this one there are a few usability issues the

112
00:07:51,800 --> 00:08:00,039
thumb sticks suck the emulation performance is okay and the triggers do

113
00:07:57,599 --> 00:08:03,800
get stuck as we saw in some reviews online so you might be able to kind of

114
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,599
shave the plastic down a little bit and alleviate that but I don't think there's

115
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:13,520
anything you're going to be able to do about the joysticks so make of that what

116
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,520
you will And subscribe to ShortCircuit
