I'd say it is kinda worth it as a consistent collection of roms and matching assists takes a long time to build up. The hardest thing I find with retro gaming is finding and downloading all the content. It can be done for free of course but if you have the money, this is a very simple way to get an awesome archive of games and associated assets.

I recently downloaded all lincensed games for SNES, all lincensed games for N64 and the top 100 games for PS1. Both the romset of SNES and N64 I cured for myself uses 1gb and 5gb respectively, but just the top 100 games for PS1 takes more than 83gb of space... I have them all on my POCO X5 phone, but my phone also have 256gb storage. for PS2, having all ROMs you would need at least 3TB space to have them all. Sinceraly, for both snes and n64, just download all of them, 6gb is nothing nowadays, but for ps1 and ps2 I suggest to just download the top 100 best games, and even tho I probably won't play them all but at least you would have the best 100 games of both platforms.

Great video. You got most of the points out like the duplicates. Do you know what version of MAME it is using? I know there are different versions with different support. Most of the builds is using the older Mame 2000 or 2003 version which some of the functionalities are missing from the newer 2008 and newer version. Also would be good if you include a quick review of the cheat systems. Back a few decades ago, since I did not have much money for games, I don't mind spending days on the same game and hours to gain one or two level up. Arcade games are known to be quarter munchers or invisible bullets taking you out like Terra Cresta when you have all 5 pieces.

This is unreal. As someone who has very lightly dabbled with emulation, I can't believe the system for mass acquiring roms at this scale is so straightforward and accessible. It's interesting as a novelty at worst, and perhaps an intelligent and convenient vehicle to (almost all?) older games at best.

Problem is hard drives are outdated now, so it's not surprising you can get 5TB fairly cheap. Most people value speed though and this also applies to storage so I think 1 to 2 TB of NVMe storage is what most gaming builds will have. Even most servers use NVMe drives for popular videos or services then offload the rest onto hard drives. People want fast access, and hard drives just can't do it. They're the floppy disks of today compared to NVMe.

The time savings alone are worth something. If I didn't have most of these I would consider this myself.

can you make a copy of this data to another drive incase this drive hardware fails and have it still work? Or is there a lock of the software to the hard drive ID?

Drew I had trouble changing the controls of all problmes. The mapping for left and right was mapped to up and down. REALLY screwed things up. ive not worked out how to remap it. For some consoles its ok, but for some is not

The question I have about this drive is how many Dreamcast games are on there? That part of the library seemed to have been missed on the video.

Something no one talks about is the trojens on these things. They are filled with viruses. I got the 5tb version and ran a scan and it had 26 trojens.

i got this exact same hdd and in its defence i ended up purchasing elden ring because of it, i originally purchased it when it first released hated it thought it was stupid, when i got it on the hdd tho and gave it a chance turned out to be a great game so decided to buy it properly.

Yeah if we do some quick math here: 1. There's a little over 4000 games released for the PS2 alone (something like 4300ish) 2. Each PS2 game might be anywhere from 1GB-4.5GB, so for a conservative estimate let's average 2GB per game 3. That puts us at 2GB * 4000 games = 8TB MINIMUM for actually "every" PS2 game. It seems like they have a similar ratio for each console's quantity of games, since the PS2 takes up about a quarter of that hard drive, but they have maybe 1/8 of the total games actually released for the consoles. Which is still insane, mind you, but a far cry from the "entire library".

5TB isn’t enough to install every game ever made I have a 8 TB hardrive it’s can’t install every game you’ll need to go back on PS2 original Xbox that doesn’t need to be installed those consoles are way cheaper to play on then the newest consoles that wants storage now the consoles want SSD which is way more expensive then a hard five

I would like to see if it's actually 5tb, seems like it's filled with files so it's more likely than those drives that just write over old files with new ones

One day i will be lucky enough to have a computer and i will be able to get something like this

@AcIdDr3am I'm talkin about making arcade machines with all the games

This gonna be useful for MARS first human missions

here's the thing, Firstly it's missing some key systems due to the game file sizes, most of these roms could be downloaded reasonably fast as they are quite small. I have most of these and other systems included full Wii, GameCube, Wii U and a fair bit of PS3. My drive as its sitting is close to 11TB and I will need double that for ps4 and on. Also note that only about 50% of the games on this drive are going to work as they take a fair bit of tweaking so don't expect to be able to play everything. Thirdly you'll get no support from the seller as this is technically illegal. Also don't expect the seller to be around very long, these people tend to pop up and disappear quickly when they get a S&D letter. It's also against amazons TOS agreement so they will be gone soon. All this can be done for free (Mostly) but takes a lot of time so if you have extra time but not money, I encourage people to give it a try on their own. only cost would be time, a launchbox license and a Hard drive, I suggest getting the biggest drive you can afford. have fun!

You can also read the reviews from this very product that says literally the same thing I did. It’s an opinion and a fact that many of these drives have issues because generally speaking they don’t curate the collection, they just dump a bunch of games on it and hope it works. Also how do you know I don’t own it? Do we know each other? You’re making a lot of assumptions with very little information. It doesn’t make it bad, but people should know it’s not always as simple as plug and play even though that’s how they sell them. Your a little too passionate about this hard drive I think.

I am like the others, I deleted the PC stuff which gave me about another terabyte on the drive for storing classic roms.

The thing I am worried about this collection is that the Chinese tend to put a lot of duplicates so they could easily fill up the collection.

​@@XboxAlive Whether he's cool or not, this drive looks terrible in comparison to the hundreds or thousands of similar "products" out there. Never mind how many KZreadrs are covering it, there's certainly nothing in this video to suggest that this is "as cool as it gets" for anything. It's an automatic fail for dividing up the systems between three (!) different front ends; and, despite the stupid click-bait title, it does not have close to "every game ever". It may have every MAME game ever, but that's generally a bad thing. Saw a Mahjong game scroll by in the MAME section, so expect there are thousands more of those in there, not to mention multiple versions of the same games with cryptic information in the names (e.g. Revision 4B) and it will be hard to tell which (if any) of them work. And given the slap-dash effort on virtually everything shown in the video, imagine many of those games will require configuration to work properly and still more will fail to load at all. Save your $200, assuming this "deal" is still available somewhere. There are many others out there and they vary wildly in both quality and quantity of games, but it's very hard to tell which are worthwhile from the ad copy or from KZread "reviews". For those looking for something to connect to a TV, there are tons of "flight decks" and faux consoles on Amazon for around $150-300, but they generally have just MAME and the oldest of console games. Maybe they have newer ones now, as it's been years since I looked at those. Google "amazon pandora box arcade". There are also tons of demonstrations of these things on YT (going back many years) and many can be upgraded with your own collection of legally sourced games. :) Edit to add: A quick search of Amazon (US) turns up a "console" that seemingly features this same software, even advertising the 3-in-1 split (as if it is a bonus), plus a 5400RPM HDD. It's under $200, but still a poor choice. As I recalled, there are hundreds, if not thousands of similar products listed.
