TAPDRA Retro 4K Game Console TV Game Box, 10000+with Dual 2.4G Wireless Controllers, admite Hasta 4 Jugadores, HDMI Output for TV

I started out with the "Raspberry Pi 3" system and it still works to this day. I noticed that the newer models are now a bit more user friendly and an easier interface with several times more games than it's previous models. The "Raspberry Pi 3" used the XMB (Retroarch) system to be able to select your games as well as configure the system.This new RetroPie is actually pretty good and does come with a substantial amount of games. over thousands of games for SNES, NES, and Sega Genesis, and tons more for other systems. The arcade comes with close to 3,000 games, most of which are excellent titles, such as...The Simpsons - Arcade (Both 2 & 4 player)Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Both games with 2 & 4 player)X-Men Arcade (Only comes with 2 & 4 player, but if you can find the 6 player, add it)Battletoads (The best version of the game)Mortal Kombat 1, 2, 3, UltimateSoul Calibur (Works great)Soul Edge (Works really well)SNK Vs CapcomAnd thousands more. The Dreamcast list was also impressive, even though it came with about 40 games, but all good ones, such as "Marvel Vs. Capcom 2", "Capcom Vs. SNK 2", and "Street Fighter Alpha 3".The system comes with the following...1 RetroPie System1 128 Gig SD Card with program and tons of games2 SNES style Controllers1 Power cord1 HDMI cord1 Instruction ManualFirst off, I must let you know, if you plan to plug the SD Card into the PC, I must caution you from doing this. Because it's formatted to a particular OS, it won't read on the PC too well and it might even ask you to format the card. DO NOT FORMAT THE CARD, or you will lose EVERYTHING and will no longer work on the system.HERE IS THE TROUBLE I RAN INTO===========================I plugged everything into their proper ports and was ready to get started. Once I managed to get the system up and running, it loaded just fine, saw a few load screens, an intro video (Which is random, it gives you a different load video each time it starts up) and then a couple more load screens, and then you are presented with a visual menu. Each icon represents it's features, such as...OPTIONS = pretty straight forwardPSP = Takes you to the PS games listSuper Nintendo = Takes you to the Super Nintendo games listand so on. So the system works fine. My first issue I noticed was the controllers it came with wasn't working at all. I couldn't move the menus, select a menu, or anything. I pressed buttons, moved the controllers around, pressed the START and SELECT buttons, but nothing. So I decided to plug in one of my generic USB controllers, and waited a few seconds for the system to notice the new USB controller, and oddly enough it worked. My first thought was to try a game, but cautioned doing that due to the fact that if I needed an outside controller to get this to work, I better configure it. Pressing the "START" button (You may need to fool around to find it, you will know you pressed the right button when you see a black/white menu screen pop up in front of the icon menu system and you see some options, one of them being "Controller Configuration") and decided to configure the controller for what I had (I had a generic 10 button Dual Analog controller) What's odd is, you really need a Dual Analog controller because it asks you to configure the analog sticks in the configure program. If that's the case, why did they send me "SNES" style controllers? It literally wouldn't let me bypass the analog setup until I pressed a button or direction that wasn't conflicting with another button or direction. Very disappointing to know this.You can also use a USB keyboard as well if you really need to. Ideally it's used for the "OPTIONS" menu as it will once in a while, require you to type in into, such as new password, file naming, and renaming other files. You will also need it for a program called "KODI" (I have no clue what the hell it's suppose to be, other than some kind of multi-media player. It requires online access, but I personally don't recommend it as each time you run the program, it constantly does updates and checks for new materials for the menus/folders and gets laggy at times, especially when you want to watch one of your own movies) KODI allows you to watch movies as well as allow you to play your movies on a thumb drive.What was most odd was some of the SEGA 32-X games actually had slowdown. (Primal Rage) Even though this game works great on SNES, Genesis, and arcade, the 32X version had major slowdown.Most of the emulators work great, with the exception of the Nintendo 64. (The N64 games had a few graphical glitches as well as some slow down, but I personally didn't mind it that much, most games work pretty good) The only issue I had was the PSP emulator. Once I was in a game, I couldn't get out of the game and back to the menu. During any game, there's a way to get back to the menu so you can choose another game or do something else. the PS emulator did not let me do that. So caution to those who like playing PSP games. Also, a few of the handheld systems had resolution issues. Not sure if it's a configuration issue or wasn't designed right. When you run games like Gameboy Advance or Atari Lynx, the resolution doesn't fit properly on screen. I'm sure with enough practice and patience, I could figure out how to solve this, but it's a pain.Another issue you will notice is that some emulators don't allow you to save the game, even of the original game allows a save function. games like NES, SNES, Genesis, PSX, and PSP allow you to write a save file, while Dreamcast and some others don't allow you to save, even if the system asks you to save the game. Please keep this in mind.My only other issue is that the system comes with "Hacks". I am not a personal fan of hacks, as most cases, they are just remakes of other games, just with graphical changes or different dialog. I don't see the real purpose of hacks as I prefer the original game anyways. Also because most cases, game hacks tend to crash half way through a game due to a programming/graphical errors or a missed program commands. there's over 500+ game hacks ranging from SNES, Genesis, and NES. Personally don't mind, but all that wasted space could have been used for adding more good and missing titles for say PSX, PSP, or even for Turbografx-16 CD. It only gave me like 4 SEGA CD games, 2 games for TurboDuo - CD, 29 games for PSX, 30+ games for PSP, and 2 games for 3DO which has no emulator. To fix this, what I did was made a backup of the hacks (Not really my thing, but keeping them anyways for future reference) and then added my own games to the list using the file manager program in the "OPTIONS" menu so I could play my own favs.Something you should know is that, if you plan to add games, especially the CD games, please note the file format they use to get the games to work. The PSX games used PBP instead of the BIN/CUE file format. SEGA CD used the CHD instead of the BIN/CUE or ISO file format. I never tried using the BIN/CUE file, so I don't know if it works that way, however I had the formats they used anyways so I just stuck with the it and so far it has worked great.The games they are missing and should have been added are as follows...Eternal Champions for SEGA CDSilpheed for SEGA CDFinal Fight CD for SEGA CDMortal Kombat for SEGA CDRiot Zone for Turbografx-16 CD4 In 1 for Turbografx-16 CDAll the Final Fantasy for PSXMortal Combat Trilogy for PSXParasite Eve 1 & 2 for PSXResident Evil 1 & 2 for PSX (It has Resident Evil 3)Legend Of Dragoon for PSXRidge Racer 1, 2 & 3 for PSX (It has R4)Soul Blade for PSXDino Crisis 1 & 2 for PSXTactics Ogre for PSXFear Effect 1 & 2 for PSXTekken 1 & 2 for PSX (It has Tekken 3)and many more could have been added. (Remember not to add PSX games that use multi-CD as there's no option to swap CD's during gameplay, this is why you will need the PBP as you can auto switch in-game using this format.)(WARNING = PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE OVER 1 GIG OF SPACE ON THE SD CARD OR YOU WILL GET ERROR MESSAGES ABOUT RUNNING OUT OF SPACE!!! It's possible the system uses a form of "Caching" and is required when playing games may need to write files. I say this because when I had about 600 Megs, of space while copying games, I ran a game and suddenly saw an error list come up and happen to catch a line about having trouble writing to the "TMP" folders. If for some reason you can't play a game, or t he system kicks you back to the menu, make enough space on the SD card so you have over 1 Gig of space.)Overall, I have had no extreme problems, other than what was mentioned. Please keep what was mentioned in mind when you purchase this. I recommend getting some generic or good USB analog controllers or find a RetroPie that comes with analog controllers, as this set is a headache since the controllers didn't work, at least not for me. I also recommend you configure your keyboard/mouse as well as controllers right away before you play any game. Also, please learn which buttons allows you to "escape" the game you play so you can get back to the menu when you need to. Having to restart the system shouldn't be this much of a headache. Also, be gentle and careful when you plug in the HDMI cords, as I had a small issue with the connector being bent and ruining the cord. If you feel like you're fighting the port, then don't, you may end up bending a micro pressure plate that's supposed to be used to keep the plug in when you plug in the cord. Forcing the cord could end up bending the plate and doing damage to your cord. If this happens, find a small pin and use enough force to put the micro pressure plate back in place. If you can deal with what I mentioned, you will be fine and you should be enjoying the system. I have had this system for a little over 3 weeks and after dealing with the headaches, I have no issues, no major issues anyways. (Curious, why does this model come with 2 HDMI ports? Shouldn't 1 port be enough?)Hope my review helped. ^_^

Investigating a way to replace a PC used in my standup Arcade box. Had other things running on it as well, such as Steam and VR games. But wanted to just dedicate it to Arcade, so figured this would be ideal. I'm in the process of swapping the install out will a different version more dedicated to Arcade.As a console platform, this is great. 2 controllers, along with the way RetroPie supports multiple controllers works great. This also has WiFi which I missed in the Raspberry Pi 4B specs (so I purchased a WiFi dongle as well), so remote management works great. Still figuring out where all of the scripts are located. Updating to the latest version was easy, though did take a while, since much of it was source compiled and not binary download.This is a highly modified version of RetroPie. When I enabled SSH, it did not work with the default user (pi) and password (raspberry). I did not know it at the time, but this is PlayBox, so different password (PlayBox is the password). This probably affected my SMB access as well, along with messed up credential management of Windows 10 (don't enable guess share access).After much research after going to a base RetroPie and failing misserably trying to add my own ROMS/BIOSes, I started looking for pre-made configurations, and ran across what I think this SDCard is based off of, from a guy constantly trying to retire called Virtualman and the collection called Retro-Bliss-Revolution, since the SDCard build date (along with an update at a later date) matches when this collection came out. There is even a 512GB version.As an Arcade system, I'm still working on it. I have an older Xtension Emulator Edition Plus (3 Joystick, 2-player, trackball and spinner). I mention older since it does not have an updated firmware to enumerate itself as 2 controllers, so it just shows itself as a Keyboard. Which is fine for simple configurations. But for some reason, somewhere in the chain of using a keyboard, there cannot be 2 keyboards hooked up at once (of which Xtension is not a full keyboard), so I had to swap out the Xtension for a keyboard a few times (before I got SSH working I had to set the password at the command line). Then to get Trackball and spinner working, you have to figure out the order in which it enumerates. Even though there is a /dev/mouse0 and /dev/mouse1, these are not used, but an event version in /dev is used, but since /dev/mouse0 and 1 are also in the enumeration list, you have to go by that order. So the mouse index was something like 0 for spinner and 2 for trackball. That was difficult to figure out. Then since you can only have one mouse passed to emulator through RetroArch (My windows MAME box did not have these issues), you then have to override the games that use Trackball vs Spinner separately, for instance Centipede/Missile Command versus Arkanoid/Tempest.Other issues, that are probably related to using Xtension (keyboard) interface rather than using the controllers that came with it. I tried Defender, and an odd behavior would happen where it would start changing the keys around or combining keys. With the buttons being A <ctrl>, B<alt> and X <shift>, figure there might be issues with these keys being special keys and the emulator running defender was having issues. Other games I played did not have this issue.Virtualman (mentioned above) released a dedicated Arcade version, so I am getting that installed tonight.So with all of that. If you are looking for just a console gaming platform. This is a great platform. If you need anything custom, be ready to spend some time figuring it out. Having previous Linux and Embedded Linux knowledge helped me tremendously, but as I keep finding out every distro of Linux is slightly different.Also officially, to continue playing these games you should officially own them. Just because you obtained the ROM does not mean that you own the game. I own most of the ones I play, though I still need to get a few (Arkanoid, Mr. Do and Bubble Bobble 2). I own many of these games that I purchased through official channels for emulation on my PC (Atari Vault, Space Ace, Dragons Lair 1 and 2, Williams Arcade Classics, Midway Classics). Or you can purchase the actual ROMs, if UV light has not destroyed them yet. So using them here, I have no issues.

This things pretty cool and fun to play but fair warning, I could NOT play any of the N64 games that came on it. N64 is really hard to emulate and I'm honestly not surprised this little thing can't handle it. I personally was looking for older atari/arcade games which is has plenty of that run just fine. I've also tested some of the Sega, Gameboy, and Playstation games and didn't run into any issues. It comes with the powersupply that has an on/off switch located on the cord itself, a sturdy flat hdmi cable and two retro controllers. All of which I was unaware was included and I've been happy with.

Wasn’t sure if I’d like this but figured I’d give it a go. And wow mind blowing the system is. I think every system like this should be preinstalled with that safety shutdown feature. Would saved me so much trouble had my first one I got was preinstalled. God Bless the person who did this saved me so much money. That would’ve costed more money since I’m not that much a techy wizard on these. But once booted loved all the games that were in it not at all a bad system. Hope this lasts long given just hard to find stuff like so reasonably priced given all that’s done already. And enough games for me I stopped counting at 17,000 on mine. Well pleased thank you one very deeply happy retro gamer. And if one flaw just have all these preinstalled with safe shutdown built in. So it’s not frying it this is the one I’ll enjoy for many years now thanks to that feature. Two very big thumbs up way high for this.

Llegó bien empacada. Tuve que buscar tutorial en YouTube para respaldar la microSD cómo te dice el manual que lo hagas antes de empezar el uso. La interfaz de navegación esta separada por tipo de consola, si no sabes cómo salir del RetroArch (apretando select + "X" al mismo tiempo) para salir del menú) y cambiar de juego, seguramente te desespera o se averiara el emulador. Ya cuándo le sabes (tienes que tener paciencia, si no le sabes) es más fácil pero valdría la pena que el manual fuera más explicito y hubiera un vídeo tutorial paso a paso con todas las funciones y como usarlas. Ya cuándo la usas, se juega bien.

Toutes les fonctionnalités de la manette ne fonctionne pas sur certains jeux

Had this now for a couple weeks. I really like it. I use rechargeable batteries mostly or plug it into an outlet.The 3 AA energizer rechargeable batteries last a decent amount of time. I try to watch for the red power light to start flashing to change the batteries.A good trick I got off YouTube that's been working for me is how to save and load.Save - hold the right back button and press selectLoad - hold the left back button and press selectGreat for the old rpg'sHas all the old games that I looked forGood systemThe consSome might not like the Gameboy sized screenThe 2 buttons on the back might be awkward to use. Haven't played anything that uses them other than saving and loadingIt's the best handheld retro console I've hadWe'll see how it holds up over time but it does feel well put together

Pas de qualité comme des manette de Playstation ou Xbox mais fait la job
