The stuff I saw didn't appear to run that great hardly any games are supported with lots of people warning off this device.

Don't listen to the internet. People are just jumping on the bandwagon of hating something most people haven't tried .

It is actually good fun and Retroarch is still beta so it's not perfect yet .

Running ps games through it gives better performance, even though it's the same emulator .
 
I'll keep an eye out for a deal. If I see one for £30-40 again I'll probably buy it. For that price it'll make a decent Retroarch machine I think.

I noticed the people running Retroarch seemed to be using a USB stick in one of the ports. Is this required or are they just using it as additional storage for games?

it's kind of embarrassing how he's holding out for 90 quid each despite everyone and their dog knowing they can easily be had for almost half that :D

I presume he's also got them listed on Gumtree or eBay because i'm pretty sure no forum member is gonna fall for it! Especially as people have probably put in his thread it's not worth more than £50!

Isn't the point that out of the box its rubbish? Software modding is something that 99% of people are not willing or capable of doing.

I wouldn't call it amzing out of the box. However I also wouldn't say its rubbish at all.

Its also not exactly hard to stick a bit of software on a USB stick, plug it in and you are sorted.
 
It's kind of annoying you need to use a USB memory stick for Retroarch as it robs you of a controller port. Can you still connect a USB hub if you want to play 2 player games?
 
It's amazing how many of these are listed on eBay for waaaaaaaay over RRP. Surely they can't be selling at these prices?

Sellers probably just hoping there are a few idiots out there who happen to search on eBay but not Google...

Is the classic a limited run or is it ongoing? Sort of half tempted, but not sure. Any feedback on image quality on a 65 inch UHD panel?

I'm using it on a 46" Samsung 1080p panel at it does look pretty bad to be honest. But maybe if they had enabled some of the additional emulator features then the games would look better but as its from the start of the 3D gaming era then they were bound to look poor on large TVs now.
