This right here is the POW KIDDY game stick and wireless controller combo. It’s a tiny little thing, it’s just like an HDMI dongle really, but you can shove this in the HDMI hole on ANY TV and fire it up and BOOM, you’ll be playing all your old favorite retro games in like 1 minute. It’s just about the simplest plug and play emulation device that’s ever existed. And you want to know if it's any good do ya? DO YA? Well, alright, calm down, I'll tell you. Watch the video.

Don't know if anyone will still be reading comments on this particular video, but just want to give a quick update. I tried to use a windows 7 laptop to change/add/remove roms on this device, but couldn't read or open the hidden partition on the supplied SD Card despite following the advice from you good people. I recently bought a cheap Chromebook, and found that this gave me instant access to all the details on the SD card supplied with the Y6. Subsequently I've been able to tailor the roms that this device can play, including removing games that I aren't interested in, and also adding other roms. Despite all my tinkering, the Y6 continues to work and plays the roms that I've added! Really nice to see PSP games running on my TV, and on such a cheap device - great shout Mr. Dweeb!!

Sorry for the noob question but if I wanted to back up the card on a more expensive/reliable card, can I just copy the files to my pc then drag them onto a new card? For some reason I keep seeing stuff about using a specialist program to make an "image" etc...

Just a quick DISCLAIMER first - I'm a noob, and a pensioner too, which factors in it's own problems, lol, so none of this response is based on any sort of technical knowledge, just my own experience with this device! As you can see from my previous posts, I've only been to fully access the SD card supplied with the gamestick on my chromebook, so haven't been able to do anything with it on my Windows 7 laptop. I downloaded all the files on the gamestick onto my chromebook, then transferred them onto a SanDisk SD card, but it wouldn't work on the gamestick. I'm only guessing here, but I think that maybe when you switch on the gamestick, the emulator gets a boot instruction to look for specific files that are on the hidden partition, which i presume has a drive no. (?). As there wasn't a hidden partition on the card that I "made", then that's perhaps why it wouldn't work? I think that the idea of making an "image" of the original SD card may work as, in theory, it'll be a direct copy? I haven't had chance to do this yet as I need to do a bit of research into how to make an image. If you try, and it works, please let us know here. Good luck.@@anamomonouse

@@anamomonouse The whole "the included SD card is unreliable" schtick needs to die off already. Most people brick their SD card by powering it off during a write or some other end-user behavior. It's possible these SD cards are an old stock of a slower speed, but there's only a handful of facilities in the world that can make an SD card and I assure you they aren't going to deliberately make "bad" ones.

Great video with great detailed explanations. I feel like this game stick would be perfect to throw in a bag and take with you when you’re traveling and just plugging to hotel TVs and stuff.

Here recently i have become interested in emulation.I discovered your channel about 3-4 days ago and have watched a good handful of videos. Really have enjoyed watching and listening to you. Great little sprinkle of humor mixed in with very easy to understand information on the products you cover. This might be something i try out as i'm brand new to emulation. This one might be the good starting point. Yeah i'm with you on the aspect ratio and not being able to change that. But i can adjust my tv to fit that ratio like you showed with how you did that. Might be ordering this tomorrow.

The Firestick is real PITA for doing emulation (I have the 4k Max) and , in the end, I decided it was absolutely not worth the headache, which is disappointing because it would have been a really nice bonus. Amazon just really doesn't seem to want you messing around that way because of the security on that thing. This game stick would be nice if you have the extra HDMI port and you don't care about the aspect ratio issue.

Man. Technology has come a long ways in 20-30 years. Remember when we used to have to plug giant cartidges into a clunky box that would blink red half the time, along with multiple cords and a 50 pound converter box? Watching this makes me wonder if they could design a similar device, with an option to plug in an SD card or thumb drive with other interfaces and multiple preinstalled games.

But I also know that most people have no absolutely desire to mess around with emulators, cores, front-ends, controller mapping, scraping for box art or any of that stuff, so I can see this being a good option for them.

Well, if for some reason they HAD to have a filter and there was no way they could allow the user to toggle it, I think they made the right choice. Those original pixels were always smoothed by a CRT at the time. Still no clue why they couldn't allow you to toggle it off though, that's odd.

That's very impressive and I'd seriously consider it but that aspect ratio issue would really get on my nerves over time, especially with the lack of other features like multiple save states. I do like it a lot though and if they tweak it just a tiny bit more, I might get one down the road. I definitely like it when they keep these things simple but I"d want to connect my own controller and change the aspect ratio as appropriate at the very least.

@TechDweeb

It definitely is! You can install your own emulators, your own frontend (like Dig or Daijisho), and copy over all your games. I haven't tried that personally but it should work fine in theory.

I see two controllers - is there couch co-op/vs multiplayer? And any idea if the 128GB version has music in PS1 games?
@TechDweeb
@TechDweeb Жыл бұрын
Yes, you can definitely do couch multiplayer. I'm not sure if the 128gb version has music tbh. You can add your own roms though, so if a game you wanted didn't have music you could clear some space on the device and add your own version of that game.

Thanks for the great review. I bought one and would like to delete non-working or Japanese language roms and replace them with english roms, however when I plug the sd card into my pc, the only vivsible files are Emulec ones (no folders with roms in them). Have you managed to put any of your own roms into this thing?
@TechDweeb
@TechDweeb Жыл бұрын
There is a separate partition called "ROM'. If that's not showing up on your pc you'll need to assign a drive letter to that partition: Step 1. Right-click This PC and choose Manage - Disk Management. Step 2. Find your USB drive in the list. Right-click the FAT32 volume on your SD card drive and select Change Drive Letter and Paths. Step 3. In the window that opens, click Change. Step 4. Assign a new drive letter to your USB drive and click OK.

@TechDweeb Hiya mate, thanks for replying with the walk through, I'm in my late 60s & can find this stuff challenging 😆. Followed it on my Windows 7 PC but still not showing the separate partition called "ROM", just still shows the emulec files. Guess they don't want their customers messing with it!

just curious, what it be better to use a AC adapter to power it, as opposed to the USB port on a TV, it's possible this game stick, could draw more current than the USB port provides , and exceed 0.5 amps. just don't wanna roach it, if I get one lol
@TechDweeb

Yeah possibly. Really any usb port on a TV should have overcurrent protection. I used this plugged into my TV, into a monitor, and into a game capture (while plugged into my PC for power), and didn't have an issue with any of these.

Thanks for the video. I checked out the UK version for this. Its a bit too pricey. I have an old andriod box with same chip and more ram on it so I think I will just get a spare SD card and boot it with that. It has bluetooth on it so I have a few controllers that will do the trick. A bit of messing around but at least its not going to cost anything and will have the customisation needed for each game. Great video though. ..
