Just got this hard drive and been playing with it for hours. I do consider myself an expert on emulation and could build this myself but I can assure you guys it would take months to years to set something like this up depending on how you go about it. So far everything has worked with controls including the pinball stuff and all the obscure stuff. All the teknoparot stuff is working and pretty much everything I've tested so far. Only a few systems like switch and a few others did not have control setup but most of the controls are set. The only other gripe is you might have to use the esc key or alt 4 to close some systems as the pre programed two button process on the Xbox controller does not close everything but closes most systems. If something is not working its probably related to the individual setup. This is definitely the real deal and would advise to grab it while you still can as something this good is never meant to last..
MichaelB a couple of points. First this uses an enterprise class refurbished drive. This is a good thing as these drives are designed to be on 24/7 in a server. Second this isn't a fully plug and play drive, some drivers must be installed as per the readme file at the root of the drive. Last of all, as you mentioned several times, running newer systems requires a beefier PC and GPU. Overall I'm VERY HAPPY WITH THIS DRIVE, I have a different version (there are many) without PS3, PS4, or PS5. Gives you access to a ton of games and should you ever buy a retro handheld it's a great source for ROMs without the need for searching or downloading.
@@GuardianGunmanI did scan for viruses and maybe one was found but the real key is scanning for malware that one I had like low threat but 183 some were mistaken because there had to be hacks to make games work but I didn't care as long as I found them did my due diligence and deleted everything
Great video Mike, that's not a bad price for a 12TB drive. I paid $254 for an 18TB drive and installed RetroBat. KinHank has been notorious for not curating their game list, looks like it is a bit more cleaned up in this version (from what I could see, not as many duplicates). All-around, a decent buy.
My NVIDIA GEFORCE has a directory where I can add folders that have games so that it can scan and optimize them for the best possible gaming performance. Can i add this whole hyperspin folder and drive to it or will that cause problems???
Good video I liked it .. video it's different from others .so many videos about this device .and only you pointing out .games that don't work .and other issues
Forgot to mention that there are some other installation steps to add some font and .NET stuff. The unfortunate thing is that Microsoft Defender finds several Sever and High Risk files on the drive after you scan the entire drive. So, best not to add this stuff to any PC that is going to have access to internet and you have nothing important on your PC just in case there's some Trojans and key stroke loggers. Also, there are still several non-functioning games, mechanical pinball games and duplicates on the drive. I could not start any of the Philips CD-i games, it just comes to title menu and you can't get it to do anything. I used to have a CD-i system and back in those days it was a lot of family fun (had a large collection of CDs too).
My son bought me a Kinhank MiniPc system with 60,000 games for Xmas and it works great. He was going to get me one of these, but was hesitant because of possible viruses or malware being on it that won't be detected. There haven't been any posts from anyone with such problems, but who knows. Guess it is better to be safe than sorry.
I HAVE THAT MP-100 WITH 60K GAMES. TOTALLY BADASS. I JUST BOUGHT THE 2TB CASSETTE DRIVE WITH 120K GAMES TO ADD TOO IT.GONNA PICK UP AT MY AMAZON LOCKER TOMORROW.😎
This is the BEST review I've seen on this product! I had no idea of the lack of ps2 games until this review! Surprised it lacks RPGs like Final Fantasy lol come on man! Still think it's a great product for the price though! Think I'll wait for the "upgraded" product in the future of though lol
Based on what ive seen, this device should be in the range of $200 for a good deal, but they sell it at 299 on amazon, and 254.99 on aliexpress. I rly wanted an updated hyperspin front end, so I bought one myself with some discount. The higher cost seems consistent with this brand.
This might be a stupid question but. Could this product be connected into a 4K TV? And do you think the performance would remain the same or will it have delays given that the computer would need to extend the screen into the TV?
Amazing stuff! If you were looking at hooking this up to an older PC to mainly look at PS2, possibly ps3 what would the requirements needs to be for native resolution ?
I have this but my controller button mapping is all messed up even for nes. Like nes B button is jump and fast forward so when you jump you fly off and die. How do you setup controller mapping?
That's what I'm trying to do is get a hard drive fill it up with games. The problem is that Xbox360, PS3,PS4 and Nintendo switch will require a large 20 to 30tb hard drive, and that's hard to find a large hard drive with that much space.
I have a full-size gaming cabinet with a Raspberry Pi hooked up at the moment, so I wonder if it's capable of utilizing my 4 player joysticks with USB connections if I convert the cabinet to PC.
OP has no thoughts because he's a China commie simp who already knows that these game library hard drives come loaded with malware, trojans, bootkits, keyloggers etc. Only use on an airgapped device, never connect to your network.
I don't want to hook this up to my PC. I want to hook this up in my living room to my 50-in HDTV. This isn't like the other one they have out where it's an Android box hooked up to an hdd. I think that one you can plug into your TV. I understand the one you're looking at because it has to run off the power of the PC. I have a raspberry pi for now and I like it but it's got its issues and Saturn and Dreamcast games really don't run on it. I want one that I can buy and not have to worry about buying another one also with light gun games
My NVIDIA GEFORCE has a directory where I can add folders that have games so that it can scan and optimize them for the best possible gaming performance. Can i add this whole hyperspin folder and drive to it or will that cause problems???
Hello great video. Can you help on what would be an ideal pc for this. I’m so ignorant when comes to pc and I am afraid of getting something underpowered or paying extra for something overpowered
Be very very careful with the Kinhank drives I bought the 12 TB and before using I ran webroot on it. I am only 20 percent thru and it has found 6 different malwares. They may have sent you a "clean version" but this one definitely is not !! Be super super careful and scan it and don't connect it to your wireless !!
Is the PS4 emulation actually PS4 or is it just PC games? I picked up one of these and found the PS4 emulation was just the PC versions. They just put a PS4 skin background up.
For me the most old games run totally slow ... if I press the space bar it switches to hyperfast ... I have a Ryzen 9 3900X with 64GB RAM and Geforce 3090-Ti ... should not have such a problem. All Drivers and the font which come with the harddrive are installled. It seems this is an issue of the RetroArch emulator which is used for almost all consoles. (tried different cores and frame skipping settings ... did not change anything) By manually loading the games with the emulator I found out that they run at normal speed in a smaller window. When I pull the window bigger in size the emulator can not hold the speed and slows down until I decrease the size again. Does anyone have an idea what could be the case ?
Hi, is there any way to add English text to the Xbox 360 games or any other Consol that ha's that issue, like can you download english text and import it into the build?
Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you but I had to get free of the family to check. Yes both arcade versions of NBA Jam and Blitz are on the drive and both work really well
There are way better builds than this one. There are way way more than 40,000 games created since the very beginning. Some game content creators love to hype up these type of game boxes. !!! Buyers Beware !! Always read customer reviews first !!
@@evanh.6097I got one it’s rubbish, the Xbox 360 games are laggy and it’s dodgy because you have to knock off all your security features. I have NVIDIA RTX 40 Series RTX 4090 with 24GB memory GDDR6X also AMD Ryzen 7- 7800X3D processor, the best money can buy.
Anyone have experience with adding Wii remote with dolphinbar for light gun games. Also anyone know how to save progress on games? Xbox one controller has no configuration for save button. Any help would be great thanks
MichaelBtheGameGenie: Will this work on a Linux operating system like Linux Mint? Also, if I was to purchase this, do you think I would be able to organize it the way it's supposed to be organized, and would I be able to delete and add games? Can you run this on a Linux operating system like Linux Mint?
I have a dedicated mini pc I wanna run this drive on. Can you set it so that the pc automatically boots to the drive so I won’t need a keyboard and mouse?
I build these systems and I can help you fix those issues, there very simple fixes since I know the entire file system and all, I can tell you how to correct it, I've built my own Hyperspin builds from scratch
Could any of the games that were unplayable have anything to do with your computer? I heard many games on this machine need a good quality video card or they won't play.
Does this have Dragon Force 1 and 2 for the Saturn? What about Panzer Dragoon Saga? And what about the Lunar games for Sega CD? If this has these games I will have no choice but to buy this.
Mine has wild arms. I just got the 12T it cost 300 dollars. I love RPGs also. Just plugged it in and realize that the people I watch mislead me on the capability of this mini PC. So I will eventually buy another one which sucks. I was wondering if you can explain to me in a message how to change things to make the games work? I just chose ff9 on PS1 and it was barely running and the music was mutilated. I luckily found the resolution on core and took it from 5x to 3x. 2x and 1x makes it not even work. But I can't find frameskip or anything else to improve it. Please help thanks
Set resolution to 720P low settings I'm using the GMKtech K2 and run almost everything with very few exceptions. I use 720 low mostly for more demanding games. To be honest it's only limited by the GPU with the option of adding a external GPU.
@@collectibles4u I luckily figured out how to fix it so that works better. Not perfect yet but playable. First I realized that the mini PC was set to save earth mode at 29 hertz. So I changed it to max 60 hertz. But it still wasn't perfect for PS1. Then I turned off shaders and it is almost perfect now. Still have temporary freezing on PSP and GameCube. I have only tried out PSP PS1 PS2 and GameCube so far. It's still missing something though to make it perfect like he claims it's able to do. Something most likely with the settings on the PC. I don't think it's anything to do with the external hard drive. What else can I change on the PC besides the hertz? Since you have the same PC. And where the hell is frameskip on the external hard drive. And why do the Japanese games that say it's been translated to english aren't actually translated? And what do I need to do to Xbox to play the games? It comes up magazines WTH?
@@collectibles4u are you saying to make my CPU 720 or the external hard drive settings? This computer is set at some crazy 3820 resolution. Is that the problem or one of them?
But everyone must know those ps3/4 games are actually PC versions there not actually the real PS 3/4 versions I've seen alot of reviews on this and that's what others Said
Don’t Waste your money, I bought the 12TB HDD and got ripped off, the Xbox 360 games are laggy and I have the very best best processor in a AMD Ryzen 7- 7800X3D processor and a NVIDIA RTX 40 Series RTX 4090 with 24GB memory GDDR6X.
Sick of these drives claiming PS4 and PS5 emulation exists (technically there is a PS4 emulator, but it's in its infacy). They are all PC games, but these builders are trying to use it as a marketing ploy to fool potential customers.
