Thanks for the review. What is the portable monitor you're using in the beginning, and do you recommend them? Looking for a portable monitor especially for one of these types of gaming consoles, but I have zero experience with them. Thanks!

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Very welcome Jackie, thank you for watching! I've had that monitor almost a year, it's been great. Here's my review video on it, if interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIu5qYt3lMp2mrM . There is a link to it in the video description. I personally like this monitor, it has been reliable and I've used it in a number of videos while connected to my recording equipment. You may be able to find a better price on a different monitor, so definitely shop around. But, if I hadn't received this one for review and needed one, I'd buy it.

[@socialjusticewarrior2316]

@Wagner's TechTalk. I must say, this is the best channel I have found in a long time. I am binging your videos right now. @Wagners I was going to buy this until i found out that the MAME sounds are missing in many games. I'm not comfortable messing around with emulators on PC's so a plug and play pre set up system is very appealing to me. I want something like the Super Console X Cube, but with the MAME sounds fully working. Any recommendations I would hugely appreciate.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Thank you SJW! Just about all the options out there are going to require some kind of tweaks here and there. One that includes 100 licensed games is the Legends Gamer Mini: wagnerstechtalk.com/algm/ There are some great games, but a limited selection of them. However, by adding a specially formatted USB stick it can play thousands more using CoinOpsX: wagnerstechtalk.com/al-coinopsx/ Though, the process is documented fully on that page, it is a little time consuming -initially. I've heard Sam's Club may have them on sale in certain locations around $50 which is a steal IMO.

Thank you Christopher! I don't use any of those tools myself. I do have a bit of information here: wagnerstechtalk.com/common which covers how to backup the microSD, restore/resize and a bunch more information that you may find useful. Hope it helps!

Love your channel and bought a super console X based on your review. Anyone know how I can alter the control to move the aim reticle on terminator 2 (MAME) to work with the controllers? Also, how do you play the ds games? Thanks for any help in advance!

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Hi Kevin, thank you for your kind comments! I think for both of these, the analog button will be helpful. Press it to turn it on, then in DS you should be able to press the right-stick down to access the menu and make any adjustments you need. For T2, I think with Analog on that will work as well. I don't have the unit on-hand, this is from memory but give it a try. Should help!

[@salvajito23]

Hi. So I recently bought the super console x cube from Amazon and now it’s stuck in the emuelec screen. Does this mean that the SD card is corrupted?

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Could be, or it could be the controller lost connection that gives the appearance that it is stuck. Perhaps check the batteries first. If that doesn't help, you can get a replacement from Amazon. I'd recommend, as soon as you do at least make a backup of the original image. That way, if it ever gets corrupted again, you can always restore it to a new microSD card. Here's some some steps on how to do that: wagnerstechtalk.com/common/#Backup_Clone_a_Drive

Hello is it possible to flash and use another system on the Super Console X family like ArkOS (RG351MP) or RetroOZ (RGB10 Max 2) or is it just a waste of time? I love the idea to play ports like HOMAM2 and other PC games on TV via SCX. Is it possible? Thank you.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

I have tried installing a few operating systems, outside of EmuElec, without success. If I figure it out in the future, it is definitely something I would make a video about. I've not investigated in several months, I'll add it to my todo list to revisit.

[@juanjolon3086]

Hi! Great video, one question. Is there a reason why the bottom options don’t respond with the buttons on the menu. For example, Press Y to put title in Favorites. However, it’s actually the X button instead. Do you know how to fix the buttons issue so that the options on the screen are what we press? Thank you in advance for your help.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

It's running Emulation Station, the buttons may not 100% correspond to what you see. Unless you're familiar with re-mapping the controls, I'd be very cautious and make sure you have a backup first. It's possible to get it pretty hosed up. That said, on the main menu press START on the controller, then remap controller (I think) is the option. Then presss+hold a button on the controller to remap and assign the buttons

[@jameshopkins5702]

Do u need to setup wifi to play? Did u have issues with the remote where when selecting a game, it goes back to the console menu.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

No, you don't have to setup WiFi to play. Not sure what you mean by the console window. The main menu can be accessed by pressing the START button (press it again to hide it). When in-game, press SELECT+START to exit the game. When selecting a game, press the A button to start the game. Hope some of that helps.

[@wguillaume98]

[@seasons-beats]

Question: can you take the SD card and put it into an HDMI stick instead of using the console? Also, would the console or an HDMI stick work with a wireless game controller (as these ones feel cheap).

[@WagnersTechTalk]

The short answer is no. The "HDMI Stick" would have to be based around the same CPU used here. In your case, you may find this option more interesting (SCX Stick): kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4O5pnWJqa1loLs

[@seasons-beats]

@@WagnersTechTalk If I back up the SD, could it theoretically be put onto an HDMI? I hate the cordage attached to the console, even though the console itself looks cool. As for controllers, could one upgrade to some different versions, like a universal controller?

[@volvoguy804]

In the initial menu where you select the systems, my screen appears to be slighty not sized correctly (the bottom bar is kind of cut off where it says menu, random etc.) Is there a way to adjust this resolution?

You can adjust resolutions, with a big caveat: it may cause big problems. Please see this video which is essentially the same internals as that of the SCX Cube: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nF7Xf5dpZs2qeLc It's why I often recommend making a backup of the microSD. In this video, I show what can happen and why a backup is important before attempting to change the display resolution. Hope this helps!

[@WagnersTechTalk]

If I recall correctly, I think you can press SELECT+X to enter the RetroArch settings on the device. You can then add a frameskip to improve the performance at the cost of a less-smooth experience. If you made a backup of the microSD, you can also re-flash it back to the original settings.

Since this video was created, I did wind up documenting all the steps I took on my website to make it easier. To back it up and restore it to a new card, please see this: wagnerstechtalk.com/common/#Backup_Clone_a_Drive . At least make a backup of the card that came with it first. That way if things go wrong, you can restore it. I've had folks ask me to send my image, I can't do that.

That's another reason why in this video I recommend making a backup of the microSD at the beginning. You should be able to plugin a USB keyboard to enter the controller mapping menu, then remap.

is there a way to change individual game languages? take the PC engine for example, all the games are in Japanese and I can't find a way to change it to English. I suspect since each game is the Japanese version there is no way to change it but hey....it doesn't hurt to ask...

[@WagnersTechTalk]

To change it, you would need to locate/download a rom and copy it to the microSD. Definitely possible, so long as there is an English version of the game out there.

How do you stretch the screen for the emulators?

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Operating from memory here, but I think you can go into per-system game settings and set the aspect ration to 'core provided'. This will use the original aspect ratio of the game. If that's not what you want, you can try one of the other settings (if you want it stretched).
