  1. Hey friend, I am looking for something that can run and play for 2 players games like super smash bros melee/mario kart or samurai showdown 1&2, what dobyou recommend? Is g11 pro a good option?

  2. I skipped pretty fast through it, as I wasn't expecting every option to be a cheap chinese piece of junk import with questionable reliability/long term software support.
    I can easily come up with two solutions that are A+, costs like peanuts and are no landfill material: 2017-ish windows laptop and 2009/2012/2014 Mac Mini (the 2010 and 2011 are bad). My first choice is the MacMini 2009 with Mojave as it is the cheapest, easiest to mod and most reliable, loaded with a modern browser, VLC and OpenEmu. You set it up in like 10 minutes, and it is rock solid. You will have a mouse next to your TV, but I don't care, as it is way easier than menu diving through a remote or game controller. Also the Mac does 24/50/60p when connected to a TV, so no judder. They do like 25 bucks on classifieds.

  3. lol

    more rip off consoles

    pirates in hot pursuit

    lol look how many Nintendo games there are and they dont hide it is amazing.

    everyone knows Nintendo will jump on this junk and lawsuits in the making

    even when Nintendo is booming breaking record's in movie, theme park and games.

    will see how long this last The uploading and downloading of pirate copies of Nintendo games is illegal

  4. Hi buddy I’m really considering buying a retro hdd would you recommend the kinhank 2tb batocera. Or retrostation 2tb hdd. I think the actual preloaded boxes don’t offer the power as I have a powerful gaming laptop. Please could you help thankyou. I’m a subscriber too

  5. Thanks for this. My dad got an X96 Max and I was going to get one too, but I decided to look around a bit and after watching this video I went and checked the prices on the recommended systems and found that the Odroid N2+ has gone down to only $83 in the year since this video came out so I'm more than willing to get that instead.

  6. Thank you for the video. I’m interested in the GT King Pro, but saw this is barebone system. How can one add games to it? Excuse my ignorance, I know nothing about these things.

  7. This was useful as I am just learning about these and was wondering which could play more demanding games. Why are the SOCs in these so old though? From what I can tell the 905 is from 2016 and the 922 from 2017. A lot has happened in 5 years in terms of computing power in Phones.

  8. What’s the best one that I can use with Xbox controllers wirelessly, and comes ALREADY LOADED with tons of games….Cost not an issue, ease of use a big plus?

  9. For my interest, I found the SuperConsoleX was fine enough. Good to see there is better out there. Main issue I had was a number if the included games did not work, due to being a bad ROM. I also wanted Colecovision to work, and it did not. I lt was recognized but did not work.
