Super Console X Cube Review (Cheap Tat or I Want That?)

Hey whatsup guys OSG here with a change from the norm for me ….im doing a product review. So I was asked to review this retro gaming console called the Super Console X Cube….. yeah the name is a bit overkill and its from china so god knows what we are gonna get. The system is for sale on Ali Express from £33.95 pounds for the base model with 2 wireless (SNES clone controllers) up to £64.52 for the full shebang with 256gb memory, 4 wireless (PS3 clone) controllers and fully loaded with games.

[@chrismcconnell8248]

Got the missus to get me one based on this review (and many others), and whilst everyone else seems to rave about it, for me, personally, it has been nothing but utter garbage. Within 30minutes of first turning it on, the games slowed down to a crawl and became unplayable (at one point, takes 40seconds for a basic NeoGeo game to boot). Have tried everything, from a new SD card (which invalidates the warranty, making this basically now, a 100e hunk of plastic shite, with all honesty), to different controllers, a fan to keep it cool, to using different emulators. I have spent a fair few hours of my time, trying to find a workaround, and now I cannot even get a refund or a new one, because of attempting to change the SD card. Basically, for me, it seemed like a great deal, but has actually turned out to be perhaps the worst pile of shit in retro gaming I have ever purchased. Honestly, stick to official releases, at least then you know the thing is actually useable. Very disappointed (and no, not OSGs fault as I probably just got a shit one), but worth pointing out that there does seem to be a risk of getting a duffer. Wife is also unhappy as now she is convinced she bought me toss. Quite sad overall.

[@oldstylegaming]

Im sorry you have had this experience mate but you arent alone, it does seem very hit or miss to the quality... mine was class and i have after passed it onto one of my patreons and he loves it.. lots of people are happy but the odd comment came through about problems, this one guy has had nothing but trouble and they are too refusing to refund ... for that reason i have told the vendor that i wont be reviewing another item they have sent me.... i understand that there maybe issues with some units and thats to be expected in any console even xbox and playstation but i cant be associated to a company that doesnt refund. I understand your wifes anger. Ive pinned this comment so other people know the risks. I know i said the systems i tried were good which they were...i have however seen videos claiming it emulates the n64 great which it doesnt at all and also the psp which the games on it must have been hand picked for using low resources cos anything taxing is rubbish. I do feel slightly responsible for you getting one though so sorry... if there is anything i can do let me know

[@volvoguy804]

Sorry to hear this also. I bought the 64gb version and the problems I have were minor. The box art and game summaries (metadata) disappeared for a few of the systems. I think this was because I turned it off prematurely. Also playing some of the older consoles caused the sound on my tv to stop working (atari 800, intellivision). I eventually got the sound working though. But will stay away from selecting the older consoles or use a different tv. Other than that, everything has worked ok. I know you don't want to spend any more money and I don't recommend this but they do sell just the sd cards (with the content on it).

[@chrismcconnell8248]

@@oldstylegaming Not your fault, plenty of other KZbinrs singing its praises. Just sad, because I really wanted it (I have pretty much every other official mini console, and love collecting them) but wanted this for the Amiga and Atari ST stuff, which is pretty difficult to get going without some knowhow. It seemed a great deal, but honestly, has been utterly useless. Just frustrating, and seems to me, they have been handpicking good versions with quality components to send for review knowing it will get snapped up. Very disappointed tbh. Ah well, least it gave me some ROMs -_-

[@TheStuffMade]

I did a review on the Super Console X Pro some time ago and I've been really happy with that console, sounds like it's very similar in performance to the X cube you've reviewed. I'm mostly into the retro computers like C64, Spectrum, Amstrad, Amiga and Atari and I found it's great that you can plug in a wireless USB keyboard and mouse combo to play games on the Amiga and the other retro computers without any issues.

[@1stdrive]

I'm pleased to read you can plug in a keyboard/mouse. I was just going to ask about that after reading some posts online about how they didn't work with this. That'll be perfect for games like Dungeon Master. Is there any way you could get old DOS PC games like Kings Quest running on this?

[@1960ARC]

I first saw this reviewed on the immortal John Hancock channel, he always tells it like it is. So was really interested to hear what you would say. This does appear impressive. I use my shield TV for emulation which does an amazing job on the Dreamcast. My son just got me a Pi 400 for Christmas and pimiga is awesome. I think if I didn't already have these systems and the C64 maxi I would be getting one of these as it really seems to do a good job. I'm more into older systems to be honest. 8 and 16 bit. Big Atari fan, pretty much have all the systems that appeared in the UK. I've never seen anyone testing intellivison emu. My favourite game was Tron deadly discs. I have that console too and the game controller is rather unique, I've not been able to match game play in emu due to the control method. Great review and channel!

[@oldstylegaming]

I saw his too and although he is right about a lot of the stuff... he is very misleading on the N64 .... the emulation on that system on this console is pants...and i mean unplayable on certain games like goldeneye which lets face it is the game people want...i didnt touch on it in my review but went back on and checked it for people who asked in the comments...other than that and a few little niggles that most likely could be tweaked in individual emulators its worth the money although i have had some negative responses back from people who have bought them and had major problems... so i think its obviously a hit or miss thing on what the quality of the console you get sent

[@1960ARC]

@@oldstylegaming I think the most important point is, these look the same and may have the same name, but I doubt they are all the same inside. The shield is a fantastic emulator and I've had mine for many years. But do you remember the ouya that did N64 very well before they pulled the plug on it. It had the odd stutter but very playable. I did immediately notice you did no N64. I have to say I spend most of my time on 8 and 16 bit games I do play Ocean Horn on my shield over and over, find it very relaxing after having given up COD and the like, my wife said it was making me too aggressive.

[@JoshuaGanoTyraxLightning]

Looks like a interesting snazzy dude... though I can't disagree with ya on the name. Sounds like the kinda name a Dev's 5 year old cooked up when asked cause the Devs racked their brains tryin to think of somethin then just plain flat out gave up at it. :P (Though to be fair, though I can have Critical Hits at times, i'm on average not real awesome at Name Thinking myself.) Curiosity: Did problems with any of the games get addressed or were they Ported to this with all legacy bugs/problems totally intact? Or was determining this even possible for you during your hands on? For example, one PSP Game I once had & played was "Legend of Heroes: Tears of Vermillion"... wasn't a bad game, but had its flaws. Especially notable was times when the Dialogue Translation into English could be a real fixer-upper at times & there's even one scene where it looked like attempt to Translate Dialogue into English flat out fucked up & resulted in illegible gibberish that somehow never got fixed before Game Release.

[@darrenhatley2899]

Hi i'm thinking of getting this Cube console or one similar. The only thing holding me back at the moment is that i'm a massive fan of the classic Arcade games and console games of the 70s 80s and 90s but ive heard that some or sometimes many of these games dont work, Is there any truth in that and what games didn't work? Also i prefer wired controllers so would any USB controllers work on this system. I would appreciate some advice before i buy a system like this even though on paper they seem Brilliant? Thanks.

@@oldstylegaming listened to the video again. I missed the bit where you gave the right price for the 256GB version. I only remembered the price you gave for the base version. I figured I might as well go for the upgraded model. Great video though, it’s made my day.

[@8_Bit]

Looks like a good system at a great price. Only thing about comparing the cost of it to the Amiga Mini is that the Amiga people are actually paying for legally licensing all those games, and they're getting new molds made for all the parts - Amiga case, CD32 controller, Amiga tank mouse, and that all costs a lot of money. This can be so cheap because all the work was done by other people, and even the molds are mismatched clones from Playstation controllers and mini NES consoles. Just seems fair to point that out, if there's going to be any comparison.

[@oldstylegaming]

I heard that the Amiga mini didnt (and couldnt sell with) the whdload stuff as that is for none commercial use only... and come on Robin... how many people are gonna pay 120 pound for a mini and not put illegal roms on... no on... i think yhey have like 30 confirmed games that tbh aren't really that great.... and how many of the kids that really did the hard work coding the games will see any money from that licensing? Im not saying its right but at the end of the day they are basically the same thing just one is pretending to do it legally

[@oldstylegaming]

China mate, everything from there is cheaper...which used to mean sub standard stuff but slowly they are catching up and their tech is getting better and better and still at low prices

[@totophi]

@@oldstylegaming : …of course, with the caveat that cheap memory cards still cannot be trusted and therefore you want to copy over the game content to a (real) SanDisk product. 😎

How to make things less pixelated in gameplay?

[@oldstylegaming]

Depends on what system you are on, remember most of these will have been on crt so thats the problem, however most emulators now has options for filters that smooth things out... but i havent checked how to do it on here

[@chrismcconnell8248]

Just curious, got the missus to get me one of these as a recommendation from this channel (love it btw), but within 20mins of playing, pretty much every game is stuttering, and unplayable, regardless of whatever emulator I switch to. Just wondering what the workaround is, because otherwise, this is just a waste of money , really if it is a regular thing (and the wife is a bit upset, because she now thinks she got me a duffer of a gift). Am using stock 64GB one, but differs from the one in the video (is called Super Console X Pro), so wondering if there is anything I can do. Many thanks, peeps!

[@1960ARC]

I don't have one of these, but I'm surprised that you say it's the same on all systems. The NES and other 8 bit should be a piece of cake. I would consider getting another SD card and copying the one you have on to it. As it may be an SD card issue not reading fast enough. Fingers crossed!

[@chrismcconnell8248]

Many thanks, I was thinking this myself, as it seems weird it is for all. It runs fine for a while, and obviously obviously emulators work better than others, so I swapped them over. But I can play say, a MAME, game like Sunset Riders with no issues for 20mins, swap to a PS1 game for 20mins, stuttering begins, and massive slowdown and sound errors, and then I can swap back to a game I know was working excellently from the get go, on same emulator, and have the exact issue from launch. So was wondering if a hardware issue, but hoping just a crap SD card, otherwise was a waste of 100e (wife went through another website and got a more expensive one, silly woman lol). But thanks for reply!

[@1960ARC]

@@chrismcconnell8248 sounds to me that it's possibly over heating! Modern processors throttle back when they get too hot. Heat sink may not be fitted to the processor correctly, ie need thermal paste, in any case improving cooling may cure your problem. If it's the SD card when you start a new game it should be ok for a few seconds, perhaps a minute, but then the card may not be fast enough. Good luck

[@chrismcconnell8248]

@@1960ARC Just changed the SD card now to a Sandisk one, so if that doesn't work, I suspect overheating then also, but literally what option I will have then with all honesty, as I am not really skilled or confident enough to start taking the thing apart to make better cooling or such. Hope not, but shall see in a moment , I guess. Thank you anyways!

Honestly i AM not a big fan of this modern retrô games consoles, only the ones That you can insert old carts from console and i afmit some portables are cool (altough i never liked portables because of the small disply).i prefer the Raspberry Pi. Harder to configure , but more customable. You can insert the games. But i have to agree that the price is cheap. I just hope that the gamepads have some durability

[@oldstylegaming]

Yeah im saying they are good but really ive only had them a few days .... but as far as functionality goes on the couple of hours i played today it was spot on, one the batteries are in it feels no different to my PS3 one which is now coming up 15 year old and still going strong

[@Simonicusmaximus]

With regards to the memory card I will get a sandisk and copy across, does anyone know what file system to format the card in? I would assume fat32?

[@oldstylegaming]

Would think it would be fat 32 but you could check with the original one and you may need a sd cloning app as i have cloned raspberry pi ones before and you cant easily copy using windows...a quick google will point you in the right direction though

I have bought this but have found an immediate problem. I bought the 256Gb version and it gives you instructions on how to download the game ROMs (why they could not have those ROMs on the drive already is beyond me). However the link no longer works so I cannot at the moment download the games which makes the console useless. If they cannot fix the problem I will be asking for my money back as I will be left with a console I cannot actually use.

[@oldstylegaming]

Ill email the bloke who sent me the console and ask him mate. If you can email me on [e-mail] ill get the reply back to you. Im sorry if my review has led to this, i only had the 64gb one and never tried gettinh anymore games. You would have thought that the games would have been on though...thats ridiculous

[@philhemmings5035]

@@oldstylegaming thanks for replying. Because all pads are in essence same device they all behaved the same.

I had that awful feell of dread just like when I rode my evel kneivel over my sisters hair net and knackered it on xmas day 1977ish . Lol. Glad its sorted i can get stuck in now. Cheers mate.

[@Matty112uk]

What version of the Pi could be inside though? 🤔 A Pi 3 on The Pi Hut comes in at £33 on its own. I doubt this is a Pi4. My Pi4 4GB cost £75 with a special case and the official plug. If it is a Pi, you don't even need to use that cheap controller. Plug in a 8bitdo Pro or Pro+ in there (it's my emulator controller of choice now). I know that most of us that use emulators don't have legitimate ROM files (it's impossible to 'own' MAME roms lol!), but to blatantly sell a machine with thousands of illegal roms is typical of AliExpress I guess. 😂

[@oldstylegaming]

This will take any controller mate that you throw at it, its only emulationstation at the end of the day,... i would think its a clone of a pi but maybe not a clone of Pi3 as the emulation seems too smooth on DreamCast but could be wrong ...its been ages since i had a Pi

[@1960ARC]

I think this system is just custom chips. The pi is not as powerful as the Nvidia shield. I used to bring the Dreamcast down to play my favourite game soul calibur, but now just use the shield and I really can't tell any difference, to be honest the shield is clearer on a modern display. Anyone that doesn't have either a pi or shield, the super console X cube is a no brainer after the great review.
