00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.640
the M25 by estam comes with one of the

00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:10.519
most unusual takes on intellectual property that I've ever seen this device

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:16.279
has pre-installed more than 30 copyright games that's right friends this is one

00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:17.680
of those pirated game consoles if users

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

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:28.840
other liabilities caused by copyright it has nothing to do with our company

00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:34.079
brother you guys ripped off a PlayStation portal and put a lot more

00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:38.640
than 30 pirated games on it the website claims

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

00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:48.079
runs Linux has a 3D rocker and offers

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:52.520
excellent 4K image quality on its 480 in

00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:54.239
X 272 in display now I'm not American so

00:00:52.520 --> 00:01:02.000
inches are not really my measurement of choice but I think you might mean 480

00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:03.080
pixels x 272 pixels on a 4 in display

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:08.960
how big is this 4.3 in however in spite of all that

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

00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:17.680
wonder where it would be safe for my

00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:22.600
excitement I think they mean the grippy tops on the on the joysticks W it boots

00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:29.759
up pretty fast it turns off immediately this is

00:01:26.119 --> 00:01:31.960
just is this switch just power just cut

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

00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:40.920
there's another one but that seems to be blocked no obvious exhaust mini HDMI out

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

00:01:45.119 --> 00:01:51.000
charging oh uh okay I had heard that the

00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:55.040
triggers had an issue getting caught on the housing I didn't expect it to happen

00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:59.479
the very first time I touched them well they seem to be okay now got our

00:01:56.399 --> 00:02:03.360
shoulder buttons over here pretty mushy

00:01:59.479 --> 00:02:05.399
face buttons I would say and a usable

00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:09.239
d-pad but I mean realistically what are your expectations for something like

00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:13.480
this plus minus here appears to be for volume control and then we've got start

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

00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:22.720
another mold that doesn't have home on it the joystick seem again functional

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

00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:30.360
the U interface is just it's a Linux

00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:34.879
drro that's sort of heed towards emulation that that was probably not on

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

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:43.519
promoting dark PL really they're promoting dark plates do those guys ever

00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:47.720
miss an opportunity to kind of like twist the knife on Sony if you want your

00:02:45.640 --> 00:02:51.920
PlayStation 5 to look a little less like a PlayStation 5 and more like a

00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:55.440
PlayStation 5 with dark plates on it they've got a bunch of different styles

00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:59.239
and they even offer Innovations like cooling

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

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

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

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:14.280
weird moare on the screen uh that's not

00:03:12.760 --> 00:03:18.640
visible in person it actually looks pretty darn good uh the sound is not

00:03:16.640 --> 00:03:26.360
very good this game actually has a banger soundtrack oh yeah here we

00:03:21.480 --> 00:03:30.760
go bring it on uh Ed or Bonsai I think

00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:32.640
dang it okay got him

00:03:30.760 --> 00:03:40.400
you know what though for all my complaints about the d-pad and the um

00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:42.120
the ABX y being kind of mid um and like

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

00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:48.879
quick on it it's definitely good enough

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

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

00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:02.920
from Rockchip with a pretty mid Mai G

00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:06.879
CPU so I got to say it's a pretty

00:04:02.920 --> 00:04:11.239
complete seeming package man I am I am

00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:16.919
sucking right now get out of

00:04:11.239 --> 00:04:18.600
here oh man flashbacks anyway no issues

00:04:16.919 --> 00:04:24.800
running SNES games that crappy frame rate is true to the original game and

00:04:21.520 --> 00:04:27.240
actually this kind of low Fidelity audio

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:31.880
sounds pretty okay on the speakers and I quite like the screen as well it seems

00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:36.680
accurate enough that it wouldn't bother me of course Super Nintendo not the most

00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:41.240
demanding thing why don't we step things up a generation and move to the

00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:44.720
N64 which trigger oh man those triggers are

00:04:41.960 --> 00:04:49.440
terrible okay now to evaluate the joysticks dude these dead zones I don't

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

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:56.720
point oh this is really difficult to

00:04:55.039 --> 00:05:00.479
deal with with that said the emulation

00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:03.199
smoothness other than those couple of hiccups that I saw

00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:08.199
earlier dude I have no fine control I

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

00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:15.320
one green shell and that's going to be all I need or a

00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:24.400
star ah got him let's

00:05:19.960 --> 00:05:26.560
go the joysticks are terrible however

00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:31.120
the emulation performance so far has been pretty decent that's not a lot of

00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:36.720
PlayStation games that kind of makes sense though this is the 128 gig version

00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:38.520
I don't have uh oh oh you just pull

00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:42.960
it CHF memory card I have no idea who you

00:05:41.440 --> 00:05:45.960
are but I guess you probably make good memory cards how am I playing a game

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:52.440
right now no no it's not it's not in the RAM o

00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.440
high

00:05:54.560 --> 00:06:01.840
jump oh yeah oh yeah no

00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:07.800
no no this way harder than it looks fudge

00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:12.800
never get out of here

00:06:09.440 --> 00:06:14.599
no did I just do like amazing the first

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

00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:22.280
it you know that game does make me wonder though if the timing was so

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

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.919
this uh where's my Super Mario World at

00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:36.360
let's go wait there's no Super Mario World on

00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:36.360
here hold on are there no Mario

00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:42.880
games oh no touchcreen a bit of a downer

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

00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:54.080
hold on a sec what it had Mario Kart 64

00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:55.560
on it and he recommended this game yeah

00:06:54.080 --> 00:07:00.800
I don't think I can really blame the input lag on this for my woses

00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:04.440
everything that's on here should run

00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:06.360
pretty okay and yeah this experience is

00:07:04.440 --> 00:07:12.840
something that could easily be recreated by installing EMC on basically anything

00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:15.560
and loading some ROMs onto it but the

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

00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:25.400
value you can deliver to your customers when you infringe other people's IP and

00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:30.560
except no disputes or other liabilities caused by copyright it has nothing to do

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

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

00:07:36.080 --> 00:07:42.360
certainly worse ways to do it in conclusion these pirate consoles raise

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

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

00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:54.280
think on the 128 gig version of this one there are a few usability issues the

00:07:51.800 --> 00:08:00.039
thumb sticks suck the emulation performance is okay and the triggers do

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

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

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

00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:13.520
you will And subscribe to ShortCircuit
