Yo mike i like the review, left an abo. Im always curious about the different android gamig machines, what you have is an pandoras box clone and is mostly used to play 80 early 90 arcade games from neogeo mvs, cps 1+2 arcade board and others. The nintendo nes games are mostly romhacks and not originals thats why the weird names due legal reasons and i guess you are not bad in the games, from what i hear from your button presses and the animation in the game is that it have extreme input lag what is common from this gaming sticks with wireless controller. Try used it wired and btw. The 64gb sd card holds all the games and a ps2 memory card is 6mb :) thanks for the review

[@MikesWorld1]

Thanks for the reply. After playing it more, there are varying clone versions but the NES originals are in there too, you just have to find them. Every game I could think of to search for I’ve found. There isn’t any lag at all on the originals. A couple of examples of original games I’ve played are Excitebike, Double Dribble, Ninja Gaiden, & Jaws. We also found the original Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. The Mortal Kombats are great.

[@ReKon1zA]

@@MikesWorld1how is the preformance? Did you realize stutters or lower framerate on ps1 games or nintendo64? My son always ask me to play my nes snes ps and n64 collection but i worry the wear and tear. This little machine would be perfect to play coop with my 6yrs old without stressing my original equipment

[@MikesWorld1]

I didn’t notice any of that on the original versions. The off-versions I did see it. For instance, the original Mortal Kombats are perfect but the other versions it’s noticeable.

[@MikesWorld1]

There certainly have been a lot of people having a lot of issues with this system. All I can tell you is mine has worked flawlessly since I bought it and is still working great. We play it all the time. The quality of the builds of these are not great. They are cheap Chinese systems. It’s a gamble. A lot of people are saying their controllers won’t connect. The controllers are on the same bandwith (2.4Ghz) as WiFi, which could be causing interference. I turned off 2.4Ghz on my router so my home WiFi is only on 5Ghz. That may be why I’m not having problems. It really is a crap shoot buying one of these.

UPDATE: ion a whim I decided to go ahead and set it up as is without the universal receiver and guess what? It works fine! Obviously they made improvements to the original version that does not require the universal receiver, but for some reason left the usb port on the gamestick to confuse people

Hey Mike thanks for the review, just started playing this exact game stick with my son and all is good for about 10 mins the it cuts out. The game stick feels very hot at this point. We give it 15 mins to cool down then can play for another 10 mins before it heats up and cuts out again (by cutting out it loses signal in HDMI port and doesn’t register anything plugged in). Has this happened to you, any ideas? Cheers

[@MikesWorld1]

I have not had that problem. We’ve played for hours at a time with no issues. But I will also say my tv is not right up against the wall so there is good air flow around it which might be keeping it cool. Maybe try putting a small fan blowing air behind the tv just to see if that fixes the problem.

I have not had that problem but my best guess is it’s not getting enough power through the USB port and that’s why it keeps shutting down and rebooting. Your TV’s USB port might not be putting out enough amps. Try using a USB/AC adapter and plugging it directly into a wall outlet. I think it needs at least 1amp output.

It’s either overheating or the signal to the controller is being blocked. If your tv is right up against the wall with no air flow to it, the stick will overheat.
