I tried 6 pirate game consoles from AliExpress

Join us in War Thunder for FREE at Get an exclusive bonus using our link – thanks for supporting the channel!

AliExpress is so full of more pirate consoles than you can shake a peg-leg at, but what exactly are they? Are they repurposed Android TV Boxes, or emulation stations running on custom linux, or faithful adaptations of the original consoles with after-market chips? Are the controllers stiff, mush, or somewhere in the sweet zone?

  1. 1:52 Definitely useful when you're trying to find your tv input

  2. Lol straight up diss to Ocean gate 😂 so non chalant

  3. 5:16 "isn't that against the geneva convention?" Says by the Canadian xD

    No hate, love your stuff Linus.

  4. where's soljah boy console, it's also aliexpress console, super overpriced one

  5. Due to the lack of the older games being sold from official sources, remember this Linus and audience:
    "It is always morally okay to pirate [old] video games [if they don't have an official source to purchase]. Especially Nintendo."

  6. “I wouldn’t pilot a submarine with them” nah dude 😂💀

  7. Lol, the GS5 has russian instructions but the names are in spanish, lololol

  8. Batocera Linux is wonderful for emulation and has many consoles

  9. gs 5 killing it with all the YouTubers that bought it

  10. It's so easy to download emulators for your windows PC, capable of enhanced graphics, any game your want thru very reachable websites and everything… I just can't see myself using one of these. Especially since some aspects of old games didn't age that well, so Save States and Double Speed hacks to me are a must. Also a cheat or two for the really grindy JRPGs. But yeah, if you're out travelling or something these could provide some cheap temporary fun.

  11. the GS5… best console NA

    😂🤣🤣😅😅🤣 not enough beer for this shit, srsly lol

  12. "i have the same information that you do" – SOmebody about chinese crap in 20223

  13. Honestly, i just really wish Sony would release a cheap ps2 with modern connectors so i can slam my old collection into them for my two boys so they can enjoy them

  14. Linus please keep em coming with the Sub jokes!

  15. Wait why did he not review the GS5? Literally the thumbnail?

  16. Please stop advertising fartthunder. It's a game from ruzzians and taxes from it goes to missiles and shahed drones

  17. Forget all of those boxes and download a USB stick bootable of Batocera, seeing as how most of your viewers will already have a capable PC to run it. Just make sure to use a 32-64GB stick or larger, depending on your game library and the consoles you plan to emulate. PS2, Wii and above will require more game storage room. The PC I'm running it on is only a Ryzen 5 2600x with a R9 290 4GB GPU, and its plenty capable to emulate PS3 games. Not to mention its free, you'll only have to provide your own library of ROMs/games. You're not limited fo a single PC either, the same drive can be booted off more than one PC.

  18. You should test if there is anything malicious on them

  19. 0:20 that was unexpected to see James Channel referenced…

    Dankpod's best mate.

    5:14 😆

  20. 4:16 I especially like how the manual is in Russian but the diagram is labeled in Spanish.

  21. "I have the same information that you do" killed me 😂

  22. OPPO , VIVO used to make these things back in the day

  23. Did you seriously pair images of an EU SNES console with a NES controller and a US SNES cartridge and expect no one to call you out on it?

  24. That's a giant still compared to your package

  25. 9:35 you know Linus is happy if he starts making Homer noises

  26. European friends? You do know the entire world plays football and loves it right? its just you north americans that dont.

  27. I'd love to put some raspi's into one of those gamestation cases.

  28. I have War Thunder running on my main monitor while watching the War Thunder ad 🙂 great game if you dont mind a long grind.

  29. Have you used any of these emulation boxes before? What have your experiences been? Let us know below!
