Whoever buys it for up to 30€ and complains about the quality, etc. has a problem themselves. Countless games, good quality and image display, good controllers with a large range. In ps1 games, it has some occasional freezes within reasonable limits, and forget about playing Sonic on the Mega Drive, it just can't be played, it freezes miserably. Neo Geo, Mame, SNES, etc. work flawlessly. For grandpa to remember his youth with Atari. Whoever wants to keep their children aged 4-12 occupied with more "innocent" video games to avoid mobile tablets, etc. is a good case.

In many games, there is a slight delay in the response of the gamepad, resulting in an unpleasant experience. In larger games, the sound is distorted and it feels like playing in slow motion. We were disappointed because we mainly wanted it for Bubble Bobble.

On the positive side, even if the game you want is not included, you can add it.

Also, for the more geeky ones, you can connect the gamepads (the 28 euros for 2 gamepads are worth it) to a Raspberry Pi and use the RetroArch app to have a much better gaming experience

  Very good, many games, plug and play, 4 stars only because in some games (not all) the controllers get stuck. Don't expect miracles in quality and performance at this price, but it's fair, many old games, nice doubles for company or for father-son.

  After some time, the controls were not fully responsive; when you played and lost, it would freeze, and you had to start everything over, disconnect it, find the game again, etc.

  Very poor graphics and with the wrong aspect ratio. The 5 stars are for Metal Slug. I like that it has remote controls. I have 3 (home, parents, grandparents). It's nothing special but I like Metal Slug.

  A purchase that the kids did not enjoy. The graphics are from another decade and do not excite the kids. Retro device. I would never buy it again.

  It's not for a very large television (e.g., 55"), if you plan to get it, you should have at most 32" and even then I'm not sure! Nevertheless, it has a lot of games and it's worth the money!

  Don't buy it, I bought it for Christmas 2023 and it broke down in 3-4 months, while it lasted it was nice but obviously it's not the quality of a PS1 or some original device from its menu, don't buy it even for 10€

  It has all the old "electronics" that we used to play with when we were kids, we 40-year-olds. Average build quality and durability, but for 18 euros it's worth more than its price. Anyway, for now, after 6 months with quite a bit of use, it still works just fine!

  kids of all ages:
  1. there is a significant delay in the controls which is due to the device not the controls. Therefore, you can't enjoy it at all.
  2. when it overheats, there is a high chance it will burn. If you forget to disconnect it from the power (usb) when you finish, it will definitely burn.
  move towards a qualitatively better heynow device at around 80€ plug and play with a cooler that offers much more..

  This is the second one I bought, although similar they are not exactly the same (the card is the same), as the controls and the stick have some differences. This one lasted a little longer. In the first one, the card wouldn't load after 20-25 times, while in this one the reading of the second controller was lost. In both, in some games, one of the two controllers often loses signal. In a few, everything works smoothly. It's worth it for the memories of retro games from your childhood, as the cost is low.

  Overall, it does the job. It would be good to find out which games you want to add to your favorites and have some tolerance for possible controller delays. For its price, it is good for those who don't know how else to find these old games. For someone who knows, the experience with an old PC, two decent controllers, and Batocera (for example) will be much more enjoyable.

  It's a lot of fun. It took me back to my childhood. We have played it two or three times in the month that we have had it, and we are having a great time.
  It doesn't freeze, but sometimes the controller has a slow response. For its price, it is very good

  So-so. It's worth it for under 25 euros and under certain conditions, meaning if you don't have high expectations.
  It connects easily with HDMI and with a USB cable that can be connected to the TV for power supply.
  The controllers won't withstand intense games like Street Fighter, so they require calmness during gameplay.
  There is a plethora of games with double recordings and encoded titles related to searching, obviously for copyright reasons. You need to spend two hours searching for the games you like and add them to favorites so you can load them from there instead of searching for the encoded name.
  In theory, in MAME, which is the most interesting part, you will be able to load your own files and delete the junk it has and customize it to your liking.

  For its price, it's great, definitely worth it. Now, let's not get crazy about the quality of the games, it's retro, the ones we used to play as kids. The controllers are good too.

  Having tried several multicades like Pandora box in the past and seeing that this one has been playing a lot lately, I decided to give it a try! It was purchased with shipping costs at 30 euros and I was pleasantly surprised! It has several emulators running from MAME to PS1. (Not all games run at full speed, mainly those of PS1 and Mega Drive, but it is expected at this price). The controllers are wireless and work with two 3A batteries. As soon as I opened the console, the controllers started working immediately without any problems! The buttons and joysticks work flawlessly without any lag! It is easy to transfer games from a computer, but be careful not to format the micro SD card because you will lose all the games inside! Overall, if you want a plug and play option to take with you when you go somewhere or if you travel a lot and want to pass the time, or simply to play and reminisce about arcade times every now and then, this is the most honest choice at the current price of 27 euros!

  It is almost perfect. It is not a sturdy construction, but it does its job 90% of the time. With some games, it experiences occasional lag, but it will remind you of all the nostalgic games that you used to endlessly play with the 20s and 50s covers later on

  We were burned. Obviously, the construction is a joke, obviously the controllers are terrible and they are as light as a feather (they cost 4 euros each, max). In Snow Bros, for example, the player turns around in their seat because they lose the analog stick. Obviously, there are many negatives, such as the few and incorrect game filters, the duplicate, triple, and quadruple games, games that don't work at all, games that are difficult to play, games where the player dies as soon as they start (Cabal), games that play fine at the beginning and then start lagging and freezing (Snow Bros). Despite all this, I give it a 5 out of 5 because with 40 euros you can have all these games that we played 30 years ago, you can play them on your TV regardless of the size (I played them on an 86'' TV), you can have two gamepads and play multiplayer, you can remember what you did back then and how your brain perceives the same things now, which is priceless. At first, when I bought it, everyone made fun of me, and now they can't get enough of it at home. It's addictive. No one cares about high scores, so even if the gamepad breaks, we'll laugh more than get angry. A good gamepad today costs 80 euros each. Obviously, there is no comparison. Here, with 40 euros, you get the whole console with 5000 games and two controllers.

  The only real negative thing that made me consider giving it one star is that it doesn't turn off. It's constantly powered and always working. I unplug the USB and that solves it, but I didn't like that. So, 4 stars.

  My son is thrilled!! We have had it since 31/12/2022 and it's amazing. It requires a USB port for power and HDMI to play on the TV. It also has an HDMI extension for those who have their TV mounted on the wall and cannot fit it into the port. The two controllers work perfectly and it has countless games from 6 different consoles (MAME, MD, SFC, FC, GBA, GBC, GB). Someone who knows how can load additional games from the internet onto the included memory card. It is ideal for both dads and young children. The purchase was for 49.90 euros. For a first console for a 6-year-old, it's super. I hope the dream lasts. It is Chinese!!

  It works fine, you just connect it to an HDMI port on the TV and it plays immediately. All the games that MAME32 has play well, but it also includes many clones and useless games. The games I played were Bubble Bobble, Double Dragon, Snow Bros, Cadillac and Dinosaurs... all good. A friend who bought the same one couldn't get it to work and returned it... it depends on luck, but overall it's fine. The controllers work well and respond very well. We played for hours and didn't notice any overheating. The 4 stars are for the time that will show if it will withstand. It was purchased in November for 38 euros, while it started at 25 and now they raised it to 80 due to the holidays, which is unacceptable!!!
