Is the super x King better than the cube mini

[@mikeandroid3512]

So but can I use a retro bit usb sega Saturn controller on this console ? Will it work ?

[@jeroldbrooks4526]

I just Ordered 2 of The Super Console X Cubes, One for the Living Room and One for The Bedroom... Memories especially The Intellevision and Atari 2600... I'm 56 Years Old and you're never to Old to Game it up👍...

[@TheFLOMAN76]

I just ordered the 256 gig model. Can't wait to plug in and play! Perfectly Imperfect to me. And I love the old-school aesthetic. I'm 45 years old, I grew up with the NES and all that so this thing is very appealing to me. You said 95% of all games work... Sold.

[@pika23]

Mine is shipped out from ali express, can't wait to get this!!

[@fonya4380]

I have a nice hw mame setup at home, but bought this to have as well it is so worth it - the portability and low power consumption are great features

[@jaychoi7569]

Not bad for $99.00 dollars on Amazon. For having that many games, I think it’s worth it. Even if some games don’t run well.

[@stevemahoney5209]

I agree with you. I also think that the Super Console X Max (hockey puck style one ) may be slightly better.

[@Devildog81]

I ordered mine on Ali express. Came out to $56 out the door.

[@TheWarmotor]

Well, I can't build a Pi system for less than this and the emulators seem to be better supported and the more difficult ones seem to run better. I'm going to recommend this the next time someone asks me to build a retropie system.

[@marccaselle8108]

When I got a Pi3B+ canakit via eBay it was 90 dollars in 2019. I checked and now that same kit or the pi4 canakit costs 120 dollars or so.

[@scottj.7639]

Thanks for the review Doug! Greatly appreciate the overviews of all these devices.

[@cooltoy]

My pleasure, happy to help the community when and where I can

[@collinsarcade2939]

You are in the game settings instead of the system settings, you can remove the bezels easily

[@CompleteGeekTV]

Another good option. I like the looks and the 4 USBs.

[@japohn]

My friend was wondering there are images out there that one could find and load onto a more powerful device. He already has the controllers and stuff. And the physical legally obtained copies of all the games.

[@wanghotangho5803]

I don’t give much a crap for the power intensive Tekkens or racing games. I’ve got a PS4 and PS3 already. Buying this for those creepy sounding Amiga games. The sound and music on those things is extremely cool! Commodore 64, Spectrum, NES, SNES, Genesis is what I’m into. Dreamcast, Saturn, NS4 I’m not too bothered with.

[@MustafaAltun.]

I would be glad if you answer? I want to play games in 16:9 format by enlarging the screen, is it possible?

[@cooltoy]

Yes

[@MustafaAltun.]

@@cooltoy thanks kinhank super console x nes is sold in my country. I hope the features are the same.

Getting myself one. Thanks for the review and the links as well.

Just seen your channel for fist time.great 80s type intro.cheers man from the uk.....

[@cooltoy]

Hey, thanks!

[@eav208]

I just playing mines but now everytime im trying too start my game it restart the whole process ???

[@cooltoy]

Sounds like you need to contact the manufacturer, that’s not normal

[@mrhan9134]

Can the Super Console x Pro Cube Retro game console play Sega Saturn game and PlayStation 2 game with an additional emulation in each game console ROM? I'm curious.

[@BURRITO44]

Just received this. For the price of $95, it’s excellent since it comes with over 50,000 retro games. Every retro console that comes with thousands of retro games are not going to be absolutely one hundred percent perfect. Remember this - these are not licensed games. If you desire perfection, they you need to purchase consoles with licensed games. China produces loads of these type of android boxes. Some will be better than others. You must do the research first prior to considering any console loaded with unlicensed games.

[@canadianguy2088]

Hey, Can I ask a question about the console? Dose it come with battle tanx and battle tanx global assault from the N64?

[@BURRITO44]

By the way, I have lots of licensed Hanes which are far from perfect. Many contain all kinds of glitches. Some software companies have better Staff than others. The ones who are experienced will make better games. They must know the console backwards and forwards.

[@wertywerrtyson5529]

Did you ever solve the issue with the bezels? I recently ordered one and I have an OLED TV so I don’t want bezels that could burn in so just want black borders.

[@collinsarcade2939]

I connect mine to my FInal Fight arcade1up machine i modded with an Intec Deck! It's amazing!

[@kiodiekin]

Sounds like they didn’t properly associate all the emulators with the games. Turning off the bezels if it’s similar to retropie is 2 fold. U have to turn the bezels off then disable another option in the emulator. If the console games r crashing at launch that’s really bad. That’s more common for arcade titles.

[@cooltoy]

yea it's an easy fix by going into the emulator settings and pointing things to the right emulator path, but it definitely should have been caught before it went out the door for sale. Bezels don't have to be turned off per each emulator, global settings have always worked in the past.

[@kiodiekin]

@@cooltoy ya a lot of people don’t go through each game or rom pack checking. Global settings for emulators will work sometimes but if it’s a different emulator and also doesn’t save when u exit u gotta do it each time.

[@MatchboxGarage]

Mine seems to be stuck on demo mode and games are not playable?

[@cooltoy]

Sounds like you need to reach out to the manufacturer for resolution

[@Maizan24]

Like the nes appearance. 50000 games blows my mind. I've been an avid gamer for probably 35 or so years. I would be lucky if I played 1000 different games in that time.

[@cooltoy]

it's way more games than any one person will ever play for sure

[@rogerkreil3314]

I’m getting mine in a couple weeks hopefully! 😀🕹😀🕹😀🕹😀🕹😀🕹

[@nobeac]

Do u know what version of MAME is on the device? Can you plug it into the lan and update the thing? Or can you update the emulators yourself?

[@user-hx1vf2xe6q]

I noticed that when you went on the screen to change the bezel, the bottom of the screen shows that "A"is select. Maybe, you have to hit select button to confirm before you hit the back button. That's only my guess though 👍

[@gamer_guts9836]

Great review. I ordered one for the kids. But as you mentioned, I need something more powerful to handle N64/Dreamcast/Sega Saturn...etc. What would you recommend that HAS all these games built in? Price is not a problem.

Hello on KZbin channel I really enjoy the episode I look forward to seeing more of the great episodes "very informative I'm very well detail how you did get video keep up the great work

[@Dot0011]

I got the cube and got the same controllers in the video and everything worked good. Then i bought some snes wireless controllers and configured them and it jacked the original controllers. Now when i go back to configure the original controllers the select button doesnt register that i am pressing it and after i configure one analog stick i cant configure the other, it says already taken. Is there a way i can wipe out all the controller settings?

[@Siders2032]

Anyone know if there is key mapping in the controller settings?

[@westmcgee9320]

It looks like no one has replied in 4 months so… Yep.

[@TommyBahamy]

what is the most powerful commercial emulation device out there now? thanks!

[@cooltoy]

Depends on if you are including standard or mini PCs or just single board computers

[@stevemahoney5209]

The Super Console X King is the most powerful one they offer but it's $300. Try the Max one at about $125 😀😀

[@LIOTBs]

THank you for that great review. If I did want one with no hicups, which would you suggest?

[@Uhfgood]

Anyone have any ideas as to why it would randomly freeze up? I can't even start playing games. Worked for a few days and then now I can't use it.

[@Kppot]

so this is basically batocera on some ARM machine, right?

[@markianclark9645]

COOLTOY...I'm late discovering your channel..algorithm just suggested now..great review of this Super Console X..see all the emulators on Wicked gamer and collector channel over in Europe..he's in Netherlands I'm in England..saw this console months ago on his channel..buys them all..he's not in depth like this....Killer Instinct SFC was bad..worst SFC/SNES I've ever seen..like N64 and Dreamcast stutter on low end SoCs..wow..but most games play ok..quite expensive too I saw on AliExpress..subscribed

I think the super console x stick is the best form factor. Plus it uses usb power which can be sourced by the tv. I have the original version. Love playing crazy taxi on it.

[@r.t.8468]

How well does that play Marvel vs. Capcom 2? Thx!

[@Bo_Knows_Tecmo]

@@r.t.8468 it plays it pretty well. Mine has the Naomi version and Dreamcast version. If you are a super serious player then I would recommend playing on pc via emulation to get the absolute best experience. There is an xbox 360 port and ps3 port. Not sure if they have been delisted in the online stores for both consoles.

[@r.t.8468]

@@Bo_Knows_Tecmo Thanks! Appreciate it!

[@SignalRidge]

Always love these product reviews even when the product is craptastic. For this one, you could get better results with an old Optiplex. This is basically just a Raspberry Pi running Batocera. I built a budget emulation machine on my channel for about $15 and it performs way better. But you also have to know what you’re doing lol. This could be useful for someone who doesn’t want to mess with downloading roms, metadata, etc.

[@MacBack123]

Ok boomer

[@incomingtruth49]

Optiplex is a pc of course it would be better. People want just a smalll thing and already everything included thats why they want to buy these things and it's more than a PI because Pi4 can't even run n64 decently. I'm waiting for the Chinese to make one console which also can run gamecube and wii and is not above $300 :s

[@SignalRidge]

@@incomingtruth49 true, true. running GameCube on one of those things would be sweet as hell!

Wow, wish we could all be as good as you.

[@rayvictory]

What device do you recommend ? Which one is the best to purchase ?

[@cooltoy]

"best to purchase" depends on many things such as a person's budget, which games/emulators they value the most out of, what features a consumer wants etc. There is no "best" item for every person

[@Masdamind99]

I'm kind of sold on this one, but you mention that it's not powerful enough. What would be a step up from this?

[@cooltoy]

The more powerful offering from Super Console would be their “King” model. Though it’s also twice as expensive

[@ATStormRider]

@@cooltoy Thanks!

[@cooltoy]

No

[@jasonziegler6262]

My experience with this console isn't completely satisfactory. It's fantastic for most games but if you're playing really big games like the N64 legend of zelda, the in-game saves as well as the save and load states are unreliable. They'll save for a while but then, without warning, you'll find them just gone. As if you never played it. On one attempt, the save state got stuck on a 0% permanent loop and the system froze when attempting to exit the game. I could no longer save anything after turning the system back on, so I did a factory default reset on it. The system startup had a totally different boot up video AND nearly 9,000 games vanished. It was no longer "Kinhank". Just an "Emulation Station" and start + select exit function no longer exists.
