The Best Android Super Console X Ever Made ? ... X5 Pro Is HERE ! 🙌 

Small Updates: Before starting the game, please set the correct mode for the controller. At the same time press “HOME+X” for pc XBOX360 mode. At the same time press “HOME+A” for Android mode. For me it did not have any effect. Even it was so. Switching in modes between emulators that makes me even more confused 😆

The manual says that the controller has two modes: Xinput and Android. There are more keys in Android mode, so the default mode of x5 pro is Android mode. Press and hold the home + A button to switch the controller mode to Android mode. At this time, the controller lights up purple.

It's an improvement in terms of what's included in the overall package and headed in the right direction. Nice amount of power, a respectable controller, and a generous number of games on a separate hard drive. Obviously needs some performance tweaks for a number of games. If the hard drive also came in some sort of enclosure that could nest under the main android box this thing could truly be amazing. Definite potential here. Just needs some streamlining.

[ANYONE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH CONTROLLERS READ THIS]When you first get the console the ps2 games might seem like the only ones that work with the controller. You have to configure the controls on any emulator your playing on. Some of them will be prefilled and will work but i noticed with the dolphin emulator and retro arch you have to configure the controllers. With the gamesir controller the android and xbox mode doesnt really make a difference. but it if your using a different controller like the dualshock ps2 type controllers if you press the “mode” button on the controller it will actually switch between the android and xbox mode. To tell the difference between the modes is simple. While configuring the controller pay attention to what it says when assigning the buttons. each button should have its own label, for example, if when you assign button A to button A to configure it will say something like “axis 1” and that “axis 1” is what represents button A. While configuring if you see “axis 1” pop up again even though you already assigned the button then its in android mode. Hope that makes sense. I figured out every problem with this thing so far. Had it for a couple weeks now if anyone needs help with anything let me know

I saw a few other reviews, and boy did gave it raving reviews. Mine is supposed to be delivered today so I will see. One review said to reduce frame rate reduction change the shading upscaling from 4K to 3k and it should run fine. Prayerfully that works. Man, I thought this was going to be the jewel of my retro cabs when I made it. Perhaps if I tinker with it enough?

Wicked..every week there's the BEST CONSOLE😂😂😂

Got mine today, working great🎉

I’m looking for a good launch box build with just PS, PS2, PSP, GameCube, Dreamcast, and Saga Saturn and Saga Genies. Thanks WG!

They need to re-design the board with a m.2 SSD slot and pre-configure all the emulators so the controls are working and then it might be worth buying. As they say...back to the drawing board for version 2.0

The problem you are having could be with the controller. You have to turn it on holding buttons, like for Android it's A+Home when you turn it on, or like X+Home for PC. I think there is an R1+ Home but possibly that's for my MOCUTE. I get them mixed up, wished I had stuck with just GAMESIR. Oh, and the controller manuals are not useless, I refer to them frequently.

Stoked for future rockchip based boxes. Its pretty powerful chip, i bet it will be included in many of these boxes when price starts to fall down.

Good to see our sneaky friends are finally moving toward better performance. Maybe in 1-2 more years they will have the bugs worked out.

This looks sooo cool! I’m currently running the Super Console X2 & this looks like the PERFECT UPGRADE ‼️ I just have one question, do you know if the Sharp X68000 have Save States? I’ve been really digging that Console/PC lately but the Emulator I’m using on my RG35XX doesn’t have them

Hey Wicked! Thanks for putting in the work to make these videos informative & entertaining. I just brought this system and it’s not bad for me at all. I want to know if you can have a video showing how to upload games onto this hard drive to play on the X5. Can you do that?

Yours is the most honest review so far, thank youu

No one complained when we had micro USB macro, mini, etc, all the time in the past. Now that everything is more type C, people got rid of those cables. With all the consoles and cables you own it's the very least thing to complain about

I’m glad you did this video. You review it fairly. I got that system too but i can’t figure out how to get out of the games to get back to the main menu without unplugging and restarting everything. The home button only works on some things.

I'm saving up for KrisCoolMod's PC buildup!

Hello, can you please do a video on how to set up the GameCube controller and a video for PS2 two player controller setup? Thanks

I was hoping you'd review an RK3588 console. I have a couple of RK3588 boards (Orange Pi 5) running Linux and Android and they're absolutely retro-gaming beasts.

Love your vid bro keep up the good work

Two weeks ago, Emuelec 4.7 became available. Will the team behind it add a support for S928X? Android TV boxes with this chip are available.

Just got one on Friday excited to get hands on. Can you connect xbox and ps controllers via bluetooth?

Select is to insert coins. And what's going on with atari jaguar it runs fine on mine.

I don't think this box can beat the Batocera Mini PC set up. It's not real bad and most of the configuration seems to be done for you. But for $200 you can get a mini PC and a Batocera drive that is completely set up and configured.

Try to install on this machine nethersx2 1.8 . It gas better performance and better compatibility than the last version of aether sx2. Nethersx2 is the progression of aethersx2.

If this confused you I'd have no shot setting this up. I do really like the controller. I have a couple of game sir controllers and I enjoy them.

They need to start making more Android phones with HDMI out. Then we can get away from these crappy android boxes that aren’t evolving fast enough..

@wicked gamer only problems I have is with GameCube games loading

Alot of the Amazon reviews for these "retro super consoles" say they break or brick after a few weeks or few months of use due to crappy components. Some don't even start... plus, don't android tv boxes have some kind of nasty network hijacking malware on them? Something about Javascript, i can't remember.

Found one yesterday for $257 i had to jump on it an 4tb too , i already got an x3 plus i needed more .. i got my retro fighter defender controller 🎮 ready

With emulation station Android this might be good, Don't like that used frontend at all. Are the specs better or worth upgrading from the NVidia Shield Tv Pro ?

Sweet PS2 library though. 658 games.

Man, that's what i call a big beefcake configuration...😯 ( But it's not super great )

Today you shall be The Wicked DIY Gamer 🛠️🎮🕹️👾

This is the first one you've reviewed with the RK3588S ? The extra board is pretty clever, cecause now they can use the basic IO board again for newer CPU's. But It must go down in price to be desirable , because now the N100 based systems seems to be the way better option for that price. And then you can build your own batocera install on a external USB drive and run W11 also

its amazing that companies still playing catch up to Nvidia Shield released 9 years ago!

Might have to do tutorials or something for people having problems

This console is pretty good. Mixed performance on the higher end consoles like Wicked spoke on (PS2, GameCube, Wii), but most of the games I wanted to play actually worked pretty good. For the PS2 games, I have them at 2.25 screen resolution and the God of War games, Devil May Cry, NBA & NFL 2K5 work just fine. At 2x resolution, games like Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario Bros Wii, WWE Day of Reckoning 2, and TMNT work good off the Dolphin emulator. Some games run better than others, so you gotta determine if you want to play games that all work under the same settings, or do you want to tweak the settings per game. My preference is the same settings for all games. Also… keep that android remote control because it will come in handy for exiting out of the GameCube and Wii games, in addition to adjusting the volume output on your TV. If y’all need any assistance with how to exit out of the games or getting your game controller to work properly, drop a comment and I’ll help as best as I can!

15:50 the settings was on the top right it might have an option to choose an input device

Thank you for your video!! Now I know how to setup the controller. PlayStation 2 and GameCube is working!! Pegasus” is a great interface and “ Box Art “ launcher, Frontend!! Super Console X5pro has still some performance issues also.. still not powerful enough for GameCube and PlayStation 2 is very powerful system!!😊😊😊

How do you set up 2 or more players in the PS2? It seems like each controller is sending inputs to both players Thanks for the video! Bought this after I saw your review

Probably a used HD as well I`m afraid.... nice video mate as always :)

I would be hesitant to use the wifi on this to access netflix etc. I don't trust it and have been seeing from other videos of potential malware on it. Various streams have been exposing this on their mini pc's and it is kind of scary. I'll stick with my x3 console cube that isn't used on the net, which plays the older stuff just fine.

Can you plug in some 3rd party quality device controller, for example retro bit or similar?

Hi Wicked! Are the games included? Are the games included or do I have to download them?

I was able to get everything working on this thing no problem. anyone having problems let me know

It’s good just wish it was under $200 not $300

Reeeeally cool, but a lot expensive to be only an android box 😕

All the games play great !!!! I don't care bout no hard drive exposed an programing buttons once ! Just once an done not every time !!! I am not petty crying about that !!! In time they will create a shell for the hardrive so many things I can do with this

Can you add your own ROMs to these boxes? Or are you stuck with the ones it comes with?

Ele rodas os jogos em 720p??

This was a total waste of money. I did what you did to make the controller PS2 work still does not work and I’m using an Xbox 360 controller. Can’t get anything to work.. They gave a hard drive that’s exposed. The thing gets very hot. I will be throwing this in the garbage and staying away from Kinhank products in the future this is a second item I purchased that didn’t work.

A good price for it on Ali now : 200 euroish. Maybe they should sell one without the HDD and the controller for 100 euro. Then I might be interested. (O yeah ... for a bit more than the price of a 4Tb HDD you have a 'slow' 2Tb SSD. That would make it better also)

wow a mini pc is cheaper and can run games much better

Thank you for the info on getting PS2 to work. Im having the same issue with MAME. Cant get control of it once its booted up. Can you help?

I have loved your retro game box vids for a long time. I dabbled into amlogic android boxes from that. At this point though its hard to see the point of these boxes. You can buy an i3 4130t mini pc for 40 to 60 bucks with an hdd and OS included and can play everything up to most of ps2. Thats just a small fractiom of the price of these things or a still ovrrpriced nvidia shield. Id love to see a review of the i3 4130t at some point from you!

As a pc knowledge guy we really want to know the processor of this cheap mini pc's and Android game sticks

I have a Sony 86 inch 4k TV I'm looking for some of the following games. What is a good device that runs well that will play this on such a large TV? · Narc · Simpsons 1991 · Ninja Turtles 4 player · Crus’n USA or World (Driving) · Hard Driven (Driving 1989) · Lucky & Wild Semi Driving/shooting 2 player · T2 Shooting · NBA Jam Competition · Tron · Star Wars Steering wheel flying 1983 · Wrestlefest (1991) · Tekken (Neo Geo) · 720* (with odd joystick) skateboard game · Killer Instinct · NFL Blitz · Crazy Taxi · House of the Dead 2 (Gun Game) · Golden Tee · Mortal Kombat 2 · Virtua Fighter 2 · X-Men - Virtua Racer Console games: · South Park Nintendo 64 · Simpsons Road Rage PS2 · RBI Baseball Nintendo 1 · RC Pro Am Nintendo 1 · Tyson’s Punch-out Nintendo 1

For the money u are paying all these probelms should be sorted out.For people like me who know very little about how Computers work they buy these thinking that all u gotta do is plug n play when clearly this one is Not that. Ur gonna need to tinker with this to get the best out of it and even then some games or systems won't work well or even not at all.

the controller issue is frustrating as hell. it just should not be that much of a pain to use a controller on this. anyway my controller just started working on its own after an hour of trying to get it to work. the iam8bit controller partially works. looks like the system prefers the controller it came with. some games suffer massive lag unplayable. but works well for the most part. just needs to be cleaned up with better game selections too many sports games 3D0 was shown no love. fyi you need the remote to back out of ps2,wii,gamecube games and quit properly or else if you use the controller or leave the emulator completely without exiting from the game it stays running in the background and when you try to play another game it will crash.

Just set mine up yesterday. It works well except for 1 thing... How do you set up N64 so both controllers work? I have 2 USB controllers plugged in and they both control player 1 for N64. All the other emulators that I've tried work fine except for N64.

Will the 8bitdo pro 2 controller work with this?

Can I load my sd card from my x3 plus??? An my controller 🎮 won't work on x5 on atomiswave games

With that console I tried loading GameCube games and PS2 games and the games would not load I don't know if I switch the gaming loader in the settings but if anybody could help I appreciate it if you can help with that I appreciate it

C.... your missing a trick, you should sooooo do half wrestle mania and half gauntlet. I.e left side, right side. Especially as you have no more space. You may regret it, and I'm sure they could make the art fir you. 😉

Is this from the kinhank product line?

I Wish This Console Is On Amazon

the board looks similar to a hp 8300 ultra slim sff mini atx which would be a better chose board it uses lap top parts but a desk top cpu. or use . a orange pie 5 + board and a used touch screen with used lap top parts and used xbox parts these to set up can be made from pars for cheap with more upgrade optins put windows and x86 systems boot every thing could be found used and new parts from amazon. would make a better gaming machine in my opines it can be cheaper with better parts and higher performing functions

Does anyone know about an enclosure for the hard drive that will fit with the cable this setup uses?

Pensez vous qu'elle pourra émuler la Switch ?

Question what is required for buyers in countries like the UK?

Can i adjust the aspect ratio for all these emulators so i can use this on a CRT TV? Thoughts?

A mechanical hard drive without an enclosure or stability of any kind is BEGGING for damage and corruption. One little bump while reading or writing and R.I.P. who knows what data😢

Im sure you are busy but I have a question for you. Do you know how to switch discs for PS1 or Saturn games that use multiple discs? I've tried for hours to figure it out on D for the Saturn and have no idea. It's not as simple as just using the eject option and the insert disc option on Retroarch. On PC you basically have to make a playlist by renaming game files. I don't think that's an option here. So its not easy. Especially for someone like me that doesn't have a PC. If you figure it out could you tell me what you did or maybe make a video. Thanks

Hello wicked man how to add games to it. Bought one got everything to work also the controls for ps2 and deleting that touchscreen i see when playing those games. Didn't had sound but had to use the remote control for it.

thats alot of stuff connected to that box does it work without the HDD?

I just received mine but im having trouble with the PS2 games is there anyway i can the controller?? I'd be greatful for any instructions or tips

Which button do I press to configure the analog toggle for the ps2? Having trouble figuring it out.

is this better then the Kinhank King ?? Amazon is selling the new X5 for about the same price.

Its better to just buy a mini pc, because of upgrade ability. And it also has a better layout then this "card in a box" thingy. These emulator boxes need to stop tbh. Better to invest on long term logical android systems. Maar dat is slechts mijn mening as a gamer. En ja. Ik ben van de 286 met 2mb era.. ook toen compaq nog digital heette.. 😂

can this be put in a cabinet with buttons and sticks or is it not worthwhile

It's actually just emulator software inside the gamepad. I see no reason to buy this, because all this can be done via standard android phone.

Does it allow you to save your game as your playing it? I've tried others that doesn't let you save

I like my X3 from kinhank what it runs it runs well except N64😢. Ty buddy

A 320Gb HD is a bit tiny if you're gonna play PS2, PS en GC on it.

Mine will arrive in 7 days and I have mixed feelings

does the controller work if directly plugged in without the dongle?

Does it connect to your tv???

Is there an external enclosure you can recommend for the hard drive I hate having it bare and no air flow… Also would the drive run from an external enclosure plugged into one of the usb ports with a usb type enclosure ?

How is it possible to add games, or remove them from the hard drive? Windows doesn't recognize the drive.

Everybody says there are much better consoles out there but they *never* say *which* ones are best! ….

If it can’t run super model 3 smoothly so I can finally get Star Wars Trilogy Arcade (1998), I’m not interested. If any exist that are compatible with a TV & are somewhat affordable, can you please review a few of them? I’m having no luck. Thanks

JUST GOT THIS, PRETTY AWESOME. HOWEVER 2 BIG ISSUES WITH PS2 GAMES. 1ST I CANNOT GET THE CONTROLLER TO WORK FOR THOSE GAMES. I WAS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE GAMECUBE CONTROLLER SET UP, THEY WERE IN THE PRINTED INSTRUCTIONS. BUT THE PS2 ONE IS NOT. ALSO, HOW THE HECK DO YOU GET THE FRAME RATE INFO OFF THE SCREEN WHILE YOU ARE PLAYING? ITS NOT TOO AWFUL, BUT A BIT ANNOYING. I WENT INTO THE SETTINGS, BUT DID NOT FIND ANYTHING TO REMOVE THAT. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT, THANKS!!

can use xbox series x controller for htis, i trying but won't even reconginze it when plug into usb port.

Will this work with bartop arcade machines with the controls converted to USB?

Can it us any USB Controller? Like the Sega Genesis USB Controller/8-bit SNES Controller?

Do ypu think the price will drop anytime soon?

I hooked up everything up correctly, but I'm still not accessing the games? Any help?

Is the amiga systems on this? If not can they be added ?
