5TB Gaming Hard Drive on Amazon Has Every Game Ever 

Hey so the hard drive turned out to have malware. It got taken down from Amazon because of it. I recommend taking down the links

@@daddybubsy7040 Dude clearly doesn't care, links have been left up for a while now. RU-vidrs are generally trash people.

Can I just make lots of 64TB/s of VHD on my Windows 11 in able to store all games? Rather then buying a Gameing Emulater or would I have to get 3,000GB of Ram?

Buy direct doesn’t seem to work?! Seems like a generic hosting website.

My thoughts exactly

Redump collection and a box art scraper. You can have all this setup in a day, for free.

Well if this is piracy Amazon is complicit and profiting off of it.

If one would pay what would be an appropriate amount?

@@EmergencyChannel could you explain this to someone like me please because i always knew there was a quicker way to get isos how does redump work is it like compressing the files or something to make it quicker?

i looked at the price and my brain went ONLY 289.99

It's a trap filled with malware. Amazon has already removed it. Stay pressed. 😂

Respects to the Russian hacker who made that possible!

It doesn't have its own UI, it uses other programs like Launchbox for the UI.

They stole that too though.

@@IdAefixBE They stole free software? those programs like LaunchBox and EmulationStation are free.

​@@IdAefixBE stolen? There's plenty of open source stuff available for that

This is why I like to do it the old fashioned way buy the consoles and the games and play them the way I used too (obviously a more expensive route) but also the excitement when you have a ton of games due in the post is far better than the stress of looking for and downloading ROMs

@@pastandcurrent I have to agree with you on that one. I am starting to collect consoles and run them on a CRT TV. There is just something special about running the actual original system. The issues though is storage space lol.

@@ThereWillBeCake yeh storage space is an issue especially with the size and bulk of CRTs ,it's an unbeatable experience though for sure and they really do look so much better than they do on a flat screen, my only issue is I wanted to film all the games I get so I can stick them on RU-vid for people to watch but man did I not know how difficult it is to film CRTs! Got a few on my Chanel if you take a look you will see it's so so so difficult to get a nice picture even though to the naked eye it looks excellent, the only other downside to collecting is of course the prices , wrestlmania arcade is my next to buy and it's £80 , some are a lot more than that too!

I recently downloaded all lincensed games for SNES, all lincensed games for N64 and the top 100 games for PS1. Both the romset of SNES and N64 I cured for myself uses 1gb and 5gb respectively, but just the top 100 games for PS1 takes more than 83gb of space... I have them all on my POCO X5 phone, but my phone also have 256gb storage. for PS2, having all ROMs you would need at least 3TB space to have them all. Sinceraly, for both snes and n64, just download all of them, 6gb is nothing nowadays, but for ps1 and ps2 I suggest to just download the top 100 best games, and even tho I probably won't play them all but at least you would have the best 100 games of both platforms.

@@pastandcurrent stress of looking for and downloading ROMs. What kind of weird web browsing are you doing that it causes you stress?

They market it as a "retro gaming console"

It’s the American way. 🇺🇸

It's illegal..there's no doubt. However, there are not many companies that can make money on old consoles, even with ps3. Gaming companies knew and they tried to crack down on piracy in the early '90s to 2000s and it didn't help. People would find another way to disseminate bootlegs. Too many resources spent on it..therefore they have given up going after piracy. Now if you're to pirate ps5 games , Sony would definitely go after you.

Wait until it gets really popular.

@@video_games_yt Tons of these "consoles" are popping up all the time. What's the worst case scenario? A copyright owner gets a cease&desist order issued, Amazon takes it down and the seller just lists it again under a different name....

It's not even that time consuming. You can download whole rom sets for different consoles that have every game released for that console. With most emulators you don't even have to extract the roms.

@@terrificformulawell back in the day (I’m talking 10-20 years ago when us old timers started using emulators, maybe even farther back) it was extremely time consuming to get all the games you wanted and set up on everything. Now you can download entire system libraries fast.. I remember a time I was still using floppy discs and ripping roms from my snes, and a 20mb game would take 20 minutes to download. Now the time wasted is going through all the clicks to get this from a website

Yep I just realized at my new job how little time you have at times

@@casedistorted yeah I know. I lived through that time. Good thing it's 2023 now and you and download the whole SNES rom set in 20 seconds.

@@terrificformula Hey. Where should i go to? >The site:)

Look up redump collection. You can find them for all consoles.

ive got a collection too, a few weeks ago i searched the prices of every game and it turned out to be 400 Dollars, pretty cool.

Buddy I don't think you're doing math right that's not how that works If you wanted to buy "EVERY GAME" Then you would probably actually set yourself back a few 10s of thousands of dollars

Now unless if you're talking about getting an emulation console then yeah maybe you could probably get something for $400 or less

Some Emulators are Nice but once you mess up you lose them all I have Now Steam as just Online and some Emulators I can find Easy

lol true. and the lair is such a goated website, been using it since like 2013

If you run a windows computer it should be your "virus computer" and known to be compromised. Use a different computer for your life.

My laptop has too many viruses to fit any more, so I’m okay

Roms cannot contain a virus, well actually any file can contain a virus but a virus in a rom would probably only affect the game/emulator itself because those files are not executable.

@@nickkerinklio8239 vimm's lair is actually one of the oldest rom websites, and its safe

Yeah! This is popular in mexico , I've seen them in some stores also being sold as " backup drives" to not outright tell that it has 7 billion games hahaha

I don't even want to hear it when they're already getting an 80% discount on most games over everyone else.

@@generalkayoss7347 True lol

@@generalkayoss7347 isn't that for countries like Argentina and Turkey and not the entire region?

@@mariotheundying No, that's entire regions. North Americans pay more than Europeans. Who pay more than Asians. Who pay more than South Americans.

if it wasnt 200+ sure would be good buy

@@sanane66543 Paying for convenience. I spent more on a modded ps3 with a shit ton of nes,snes,sega,ps1 2 3,games on it. And this def has even more than that even excluding clones.

@@sanane66543 Its got a ton of games. 200+ isnt that bad

⁠@@sanane66543in all fairness, it’s a 5tb drive, that alone is pricey, but the pc games make it worth it, alone since they add up to over $200

What video? Do you have the link?

7 years is an eternity to you, but feels like 1-2 years as an adult.

😂

@@ryecatcher25 Yeah, I know the feeling about that. You get so busy as an adult, and I don't know always where the time goes.

Why just download them for free

@@IcedFreon That's what I do. And only download the ones I'm going to play for sure. Free and easy to do and setting up controls for a gamepad or joystick. To enjoy the game even more, unless it's better with mouse and keyboard. But not all games are fun only using the mouse and keyboard. Old ones are met to use though gamepads or joysticks. Love all my retro game consoles and games.

@@IcedFreon Where can we download the games from?

Whats botnet?

@@Chrisscreases2 basically a botnet is a group of computers that are linked together and can be controlled by one central machine. it's a common strategy for people on the dark web to get their hands on a lot of computing power or a lot of machines from unique IPs to cryptomine or launch a ddos attack. There is a chance that there is also some malware is on the drive and will link your computer to be part of a botnet (which is very bad because there probably will be more malware installed on your pc and you'll get your personal information stolen as well)

Yeah cant trust those Chinese manufacturers

@@Chrisscreases2 he's saying the hard-drive it comes with might have a malicious software on it called a botnet. Botnets set themselves up on your PC, and use your internet connection to perform various tasks that range from illegal to spamming people, but it's not good.

Where is a trustworthy place to find ROMs?

​@@RRRobertLazerEmuparadise, Vimms Lair, Internet Archive (ReDump)

Arcade Punks. They've got everything. Go there.

check out my channel, lots of options and different price points - there are people out there that charge $1,000's of dollars for a complete one

This "backup" of ROMs won't last long on a segate honestly, especially for long term storage, these Chinese sellers use cheap drives to store the ROMs so don't expect anything nice long-term

I have never had a seatage fail on me. Western digital, plenty have died in my hands. They all die eventually, make a backup and return that old ass hdd😂

I've got 4 dead seagate drives, the other two were actually backups of my 2 seagates which.. unfortunately the backup drives also failed. Years of raw photos gone, never buying seagate again.

​​@@ElijahAlcantarasounds like you messed up because Seagate is fine

@@557deadpool heck no, under normal usage in my pc. Never dropped. Even my co-workers warned against seagate brand and we're all IT people.

Yeah, 5TB seems very small.

why do you have all of that? I know datahoarding is a thing, especially for movies but why games and why all of them, not the ones you playd in the past/are fan of?

@Rogoznica FC I have 3 kids 6,10, and 13. So I drive is movies and tv/anime and the other 2 are games. So they hop around playing random games. I have a sim rig. I just race and fly, so I don't even play the arcade/console games. And I do it all off the same pc. I got an app that let's you split your cpu cores and any monitor/ TV you have connected acts like it's own pc. It uses Windows as it's own remote user.

@@rogoznicafc9672 I have over 120+TB, why not? Not hard to buy a 8bay external that holds 8 16TB drives. I personally got tired of installing and uninstalling games on smaller HDDs, now I can keep it all installed, modded and keep my saved games forever in a nice graphically driven front end for the past 50 years of gaming. Some times you just want to play something different and you have the option, you don't have to worry about scratched discs or anything (not to mention the old floppies being dead). Been doing this collecting thing for longer than the WWW has existed. Just say this I can play a different game every day for the rest of my life and save my money for more meaningful things. It's something I will pass down to my children when i'm gone.

Of course. It’s literally just a hard drive with stuff on it. You can get in there and change around anything you want

Downloading and compiling premade collections and programs for setup. Pirate pirating other pirates, u can too by simply by cloning these hard drives.

You'll need wine to run Windows executable on Linux (Steam OS) Or you need to find an alternative to lauch box on Linux

Also imagine trying to store/run all those consoles (if you can even find them), It is a godsend for those of us who love retro gaming.

garbage console --- nes blows that shit out of the water

its really meant for a pc

@@drewtalks what about an Android streaming box that we buy with RetroStation on it? Can that type of thing be hooked to the drive?

There's better options to download yourself vman, coinops, launchbox builds, etc. To buy there's a lot some good, some meh many not on amazon

I don't think you can get this in the UK unfortunately

@@drewtalks VMan is gone now right ? could you do a video about some alternative to his level up build. I never got to complete my collection :(

@@drewtalks vman shutdown :(

I’ve been interested in Elden Ring for a bit now, would you recommend it? Is it similar to any others or is it fairly unique? Thank you btw my friend 🤝❤️

Problem is hard drives are outdated now, so it's not surprising you can get 5TB fairly cheap. Most people value speed though and this also applies to storage so I think 1 to 2 TB of NVMe storage is what most gaming builds will have. Even most servers use NVMe drives for popular videos or services then offload the rest onto hard drives. People want fast access, and hard drives just can't do it. They're the floppy disks of today compared to NVMe.

@@portman8909 For modern games you're entirely right, but for anything 7th gen and earlier the hard drive will suffice. That's most of what people are seeking to currently emulate anyway. But I agree eventually the medium will have to switch to a faster storage standard.

@@portman8909 unless youre making constant file transfers, theres not much benefit to using solid state for storage. Traditional hard drives are not outdated, that would mean they have no uses at all. Traditional hard drives are still the most cost effective mass storage option. Youll want an SSD to put the operating system on, but for most processes after the computer is already on, the difference in speed is imperceptible. A 5400 RPM spinning drive is already more than fast enough to run a game, modern or otherwise, at near optimal performance.

It won't many games suffer from stuttering because they use asset streaming. You'll actually see games recommending to use a "hard drive mode" which lowers the LOD's for distant objects and draw distance because there's too many assets to be pulled from the hard drive quickly enough.@@TheodoreChin-ih7xz

That's what anti virus is for easy to scan drive and then enjoy hassle free computing

No one replied becuz that simply is not true.

@@shermansheepherda8488 anti virus is for people who have no brain

@@Enermus0 LMAO what!? Yes it is. It’s objectively true without a single shred of doubt. There’s millions of viruses that could be baked into this hard drive. Even downloading a single game can give you a virus. Let alone 5TB of games from some random online seller. For all you know it could install malware and steal all your passwords and banking details. It could lock up your entire PC with ransomware. It could just have a crypto jacker baked into it.

@@shermansheepherda8488Anti Virus is not even close to perfect. There’s no possible way you could ensure that this whole 5TB of data is safe.

@@TomGeek1980 I can believe it. Another thing to watch for is duplicates...they LOVE doing that!

Yes sir... That's the catch 🤣... It looks good from the outside 👌

$200 for that? 😆

I've done my own with over 70 game systems with Launchbox and almost all of the games work if you use the best emulators for it then no problem.

Mine works perfectly. What's a rom Vet? Somebody who has been into emulation for 20 years? Ok that's me. Everything works if you know what you're doing. Don't listen to lower IQ noobs who can't figure out Roms, bios sets, or folder management

When you purchase one you are put on the IPC list (international pirate consumers, or something) which is held by various government agencies

can you just put the hard drive on a offline pc?

@@aznbigboyjo3 Sure you could. And considering the spyware/malware/viruses you'll be installing this is the only really feasible option. I would never connect that pc to a network again after plugging in this drive.

What

​@@tommj4365 WHAT

Its a clickbait title

He’s just saying that to be cool. Lots of RU-vidrs are covering this drive. This is about as cool as it gets for a one stop shop going to run as well as your gaming rig. Clone the drive over to my 12TB and complete all the rom sets to make it ultimate. But as far as ready to go more games than anyone will ever play.

Yes, the fact that it can launch three different front ends and houses mostly complete rom sets including ps2 and GC, this is the leader. China has balls and if you have money, it's yours. So many sanctimonious newbs out there.

I would love this. I was going to buy one of those ultimate arcade setups mainly because it had such an impressive rom collection and I didn't want to build my own and not have the roms. I really wish I could torrent something like this. Or hell any of you guys with these mega collections I will gladly pay for a copy of your files. It's just amazing to have these even if you could never possibly play everything. It's like preserving a part of history.

​@@XboxAlive Whether he's cool or not, this drive looks terrible in comparison to the hundreds or thousands of similar "products" out there. Never mind how many RU-vidrs are covering it, there's certainly nothing in this video to suggest that this is "as cool as it gets" for anything. It's an automatic fail for dividing up the systems between three (!) different front ends; and, despite the stupid click-bait title, it does not have close to "every game ever". It may have every MAME game ever, but that's generally a bad thing. Saw a Mahjong game scroll by in the MAME section, so expect there are thousands more of those in there, not to mention multiple versions of the same games with cryptic information in the names (e.g. Revision 4B) and it will be hard to tell which (if any) of them work. And given the slap-dash effort on virtually everything shown in the video, imagine many of those games will require configuration to work properly and still more will fail to load at all. Save your $200, assuming this "deal" is still available somewhere. There are many others out there and they vary wildly in both quality and quantity of games, but it's very hard to tell which are worthwhile from the ad copy or from RU-vid "reviews". For those looking for something to connect to a TV, there are tons of "flight decks" and faux consoles on Amazon for around $150-300, but they generally have just MAME and the oldest of console games. Maybe they have newer ones now, as it's been years since I looked at those. Google "amazon pandora box arcade". There are also tons of demonstrations of these things on YT (going back many years) and many can be upgraded with your own collection of legally sourced games. :) Edit to add: A quick search of Amazon (US) turns up a "console" that seemingly features this same software, even advertising the 3-in-1 split (as if it is a bonus), plus a 5400RPM HDD. It's under $200, but still a poor choice. As I recalled, there are hundreds, if not thousands of similar products listed.

​@Stephen Eads been wanting one of kris's retrobeast systems for a long time because it seems as though he's the best modder out there! But its so damn expensive! Especially that 96TB. I envy you man. Please let me know your experiences once you get it

The Steam Deck can play 3DS games and Switch games. There are modders that are adding external monitors to play the DS games as well as the Wii U games.

Imagine an NDS cart that has a usb port that you plug an external hdd to and play whatever 3ds is on it

they have.. i got a 2tb hardrive like this with nintendo switch and 3ds

Just buy a switch

I've played switch games on my steam deck. And windwaker for wiiu on my steam deck. PS2 even PS3 games. This would actually be an amazing investment just for access to it's archive for ease of use and less risk

Thats how marketing works; say "everything" and everyone will buy it.

yeah i looked for 1 game as he was scrolling and it didnt have it (assuming that was the full list) which was Urbz sims in the city. Also had a xbox port and wasnt on gamecube list either.

Yeah if we do some quick math here: 1. There's a little over 4000 games released for the PS2 alone (something like 4300ish) 2. Each PS2 game might be anywhere from 1GB-4.5GB, so for a conservative estimate let's average 2GB per game 3. That puts us at 2GB * 4000 games = 8TB MINIMUM for actually "every" PS2 game. It seems like they have a similar ratio for each console's quantity of games, since the PS2 takes up about a quarter of that hard drive, but they have maybe 1/8 of the total games actually released for the consoles. Which is still insane, mind you, but a far cry from the "entire library".
