The Super Console X2 Pro impresses with its vast library of included games, boasting a staggering collection of 100,000 titles. While it handles most of these games with ease, there are some limitations due to the processing power of the chip.

Great review! Do you know if it’s possible to copy the 256gb micro SD card from this device and use it in the Box Arcade? My Box Arcade card got corrupted when I tried to add games to it and the roms disappeared :( I noticed others have had the same issues when handling these console SD cards.

[@quickskillz]

I could not say, however I know Ali express has cheaper products with just the MicroSD card loaded with roms. I would not buy this unless you needed the hardware as well.

[@sefrazier1271]

Quick question cab anyone please tell me how c64 games play on here with the controllers included thank you

[@BelmontClan]

Mine just delivered yesterday I was impressed by the background music as I’m browsing through the games library, I was hearing bits of rock like queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, the game of thrones theme, Dido, even game soundtracks it’s refreshing to get that. Worth noting that you you’ll get a ps2 style controller but with the abxy on the buttons so the buttons as a default are the opposite in the selecting of games the buttons A is actually B, Y for X I actually paid $46 for mine so I had to dig long to find it cheaper, never hesitate to hold out for the cheaper price it will make you feel better, I wouldn’t have paid $70 that would have been a hard pass so customers shouldn’t get discouraged and I also bought mine on AliExpress and bought extra wired controllers so I didn’t have to use wireless and yes sometimes the trigger buttons stick occasionally.

[@quickskillz]

That's cool! Mine didn't have any music. I was able to load all mine in though.

[@quickskillz]

I ordered the X4. I plan to review it when it comes in.

[@BelmontClan]

@@quickskillz hmmm interesting so I looks like I got lucky, from what I’ve seen in other videos for the x4 it’s still the same 100,000 + games nothing else got fixed or updated

[@quickskillz]

@BelmontClan That's probably true, however the chip that powers it is supposed to be better. The X2 struggles with the newer games. Hoping the X4 fixes that problem.

[@BelmontClan]

@@quickskillz I wouldn’t go betting on that, but I do hope you have reviewed other videos on it before making your purchase. I always research and make an informed decision before buying.

[@pedroalberoni6608]

How do we change the OS? are there any alternatives to Emuelec? I saw that emuelec is out of date

[@quickskillz]

I would not change the OS as it is built for the Andriod box that powers it. You can update it if you connect to the internet.

[@BoredGods]

Great Video i will now buy one 😅 What do you think about the Super Console x Cube 3?

[@quickskillz]

I haven't reviewed it. Maybe I will order one to try out. Unless you are trying to play the late 90's early 2000's games. There is no need to spend more money on the system. This one plays everything from PSX down fairly well with the exception being N64.

[@Jeffreycee]

I had ordered the x2 , and after a few days the screen went black after the kinhank loading screen. So it’s return time. I ordered the x2 pro hoping it will be better. I tried a lot to troubleshoot my problems but no luck. I’m not a techie haha. It’s a great system though, had all the games I wanted to play. What’s the difference between 64 gb or 250 gb? I’m sure lots more games, but is it just a better running machine? I ordered the 62 gb x2 pro so I hope it’s still up to par.

[@quickskillz]

The only difference between the 2 is going to be storage. If you plan on playing the newer games. N64 and newer, get the larger memory card. As for the black screen, I have never encountered that problem. One thing I will say though, is you should be shutting down the system before powering it off. Try removing the micro SD card and booting it up. Then turn off the machine and put the SD card back in and reboot it.

[@Emma-dh1lx]

​@@quickskillzHow do I shut it down?

[@quickskillz]

@Emma-dh1lx I am going to do a tutorial video on this. The best way for me to shut down the system is to press start in the home screen and select the option on the bottom that says shut down. At that point you might get a screen that says saving meta data. Wait until the screen goes black. Once it goes back, unplug your system. You can plug it back it to start it up. Leave the button in the back pressed on, all the time.

[@Emma-dh1lx]

@@quickskillz I ordered my through TikTok. I'm hoping they can do a better job than Amazon sellers. It's on its way from China. I've had a great past retro consoles with them. The Anbernic 505 is flawless with much more options than the Amazon version. Fingers crossed 🤞

[@quickskillz]

Yes, you will need a Bluetooth adapter for the device to detect it. Something like this. TP-Link USB Bluetooth Adapter for PC, Bluetooth 4.0 Dongle Receiver, Plug & Play, Nano Size, EDR & A2DP Technology, Supports Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7/XP for Desktop, Laptop, PS4/ Xbox Controllers (UB400) a.co/d/63aDfdJ

[@Bootyhunter1971]

I want to find an SNES and a Genesis and possibly a Saturn Controller (might could use same one for Saturn and Genesis) for respective games. I have this system and its awesome, but the controllers are its achilles I believe.

[@quickskillz]

I have connected an SNES USB controller. The weight isn't exactly the same but the feel is on par. I believe you can also find a USB converter for the OG controller. You will be able to map the controller if you do hook one up to it.

[@samrosenthal6242]

Can you add the roms from this device to other devices?

[@quickskillz]

If you plug the included micro SD card to computer. You will have access to all the roms. As long as you know how to run the roms via emulation, you will be able to drag the files off the micro SD card and run them in other emulators. Keep in mind you will likely need a Micro SD card reader or adapter to SD card.

[@StarxBaller]

Good afternoon if you are reading this a problem has been happening to me with the console I enter a game I know the new super mario bros ds or any game everything is fine but the control does not respond it does nothing I don't know if you know anything the console I bought on amazon because my parents don't buy on aliexpress and don't know that's why this error happens to me thanks for reading and If my English is bad it's because I'm using Google Translate thanks

[@quickskillz]

I review the Super Console x4 pro in another video and it works perfectly. Watch that video. I'll test to see if I can run the DS on my Super Console x2 pro.

[@thewayofjay1577]

I heard in some amazon reviews that the x2 suddenly stops working after light use over a few months. Have you experienced anything like this personally?

[@quickskillz]

Mine is still working. I follow a shut down procedure that is recommended by Emeulec. While on the home screen, I press the menu button and shut down from the option. Depending on what you are playing it might take 2-3 minutes for it to shut down. I get a screen called saving meta data. Once the device powers down itself, I unplug it from the wall. I never press the power supply button. Once you plug it back in, it auto starts.

[@quickskillz]

It is very tempting to shut down from the game you are in by just pressing the power off button in the back. These are reconfigured Android TV boxes and the power off button doesn't seem to be the best way to power on and off. I leave the button pressed in all the time and use the in-game menu to power it off.

[@Scyber_Official]

@@quickskillz How do you power off in the menu?

[@stephenblidgeon9551]

@quickskillz well, super X2 will arrive here around 10-15/12 since need a month from Banggood. When I'll have it in my hands I'll make a clone of SD and will check on GT king. In worst scenario I broke a cheap SD card of 10€ 😅😅😅. But if it works will be awesome to use it in a stronger box, my beelink is still on official OS, so is also android 9 like super x2

Should I get this, or the Super Console X Cube?

[@quickskillz]

I reviewed the X4 Pro. Imo that one is the best I tested so far. The x2 pro would be next.

[@tyler6929]

Just got mine ordered. Has anyone tested if you can delete the duplicate of the games it comes with? Like delete all the non USA versions

[@quickskillz]

Yes. You will need a Micro SD reader and and SD slot on your computer to access the files. You can also access the files if you connect the device to your wifi. It is a bit time consuming to delete the duplicate files since they are saved in separate folders per system.

[@tyler6929]

Another question, if I really wanted to, could I just delete all the games and only put the ones I want on there? And if I were to order a wireless n64 controller with a dongle would it work.

[@quickskillz]

@tyler6929 When you plug the micro SD card into your computer. You will have access to all the roms. They are stored in folders and formated to be accessed by the OS. You can easily delete the roms but keep the folders that way you can easily add the corresponding roms later if you need to.

[@quickskillz]

@tyler6929 You should be able to connect a Bluetooth controller if it has the receiver. This model ships with 2 Bluetooth controllers shown in my box opening video. The problem I had with the N64 controller is there was not enough buttons to assign the dedicated hotkey. I use a pc controller that looks and feels like an Xbox controller but it has extra buttons on the face to assign a hot key. Normally you can use "select" as the hot key but the N64 controller doesn't have a select button.

[@tyler6929]

I read through the specs on the x3 and x4. Aside from the chip, there is no difference in how they operate. If you are inclined to play 90's games or older, you will be good to save the money and get the x2. If you feel like you will play dreamcast or newer, you may have a better experience with the x3 or x4. However the x2 pro could handle them in my review. I stand by my recommendation of getting the 256 gb storage as the newer games take close to a gig per game. If you know you will be content with the older gen games, the 64 gb system is your best bet and save the extra $20-$30.
