Kinhank500G Portable External Game Hard Drive Disk, Built-in 111000+ Games, Batocera 33 Game System, for Laptop/PC/Windows/, (No Gamepad)

I just set it up today, so I don't have a lot of experience on it but it worked well. Set up was easier than a lot of stuff I was seeing online led me to believe it would be (using Windows 11). All the games I tried worked great. Also, I read a review that said they were super fragile and maybe I just got lucky, but I knocked it off my desk while setting it up and it had no problems after.

Tried two of these and could not get either one to boot properly. It would go through the startup and just flash it was loading each emulator and then just go black on the screen and lock up. It did the same thing on two different computers.

Using it on a very old Intel Mac (late 2013 MacBook Pro) and works great. As long as you can boot from an external drive, it ought to do fine. One caveat--had a hard time getting a lot of USB gamepads to work. None of my 8bitdo controllers would allow me to start any games, although I could scroll between. The only one I have that works--and I have a lot--is a Logitech G F310 wired unit. Since I've only used it on an old Mac, I can't tell you if it would work better on a unit manufactured for Windows only. My guess is it would. Great selection of games, great value.

It’s not too terrible if you’re somewhat tech savvy, but definitely don’t expect this to be no fuss plug and play. Some glitches. A bit of a sound issue in many games. Some controls are a bit funky in some of the games. But all in all great for nostalgia.

I'll start out by saying that I wasn't expecting a lot for the price. It did boot on a couple of PCs, but it did not on a couple of others.That's not the fault of the game drive but rather boot settings that I didn't feel like adjusting on those machines just to test it. Most of the games did start and play fine on a Mini PC with an N100 processor. Good enough for what I wanted it for.

Look into Batocera which is a Linux based operating system that incorporates different emulators. That is what this is, but has been customized and has TONS of roms to play. Works great and has inspired me to build a dedicated machine to run Batocera on just for games. This is worth it for the roms alone, but it works plug and play so theres no need to do more unless you're into building computers. Just set your PC or laptop to boot from USB and play.

Only gripe I have about this product is that I cannot get it to boot directly. I have a workaround for this though. In windows, just search for 'Change advanced startup options' and then hit 'restart now' under Advanced Setup and then click UEFI USB on the screen after that and you're all set

Everything is great except you won't be able to run any of the "higher-end" consoles from this through the USB interface. They're using a cheap 375 MB/s HDD...too slow for Dreamcast, Gamecube, or newer consoles. Otherwise, it's a very well-put-together package. The Batocera interface is slick and most console/arcade/etc configurations work. My workaround for the slow drive was to install Launchbox on my PC and copy the ROMs over, which means some configuration work for you if you go that route.I still like it despite the aforementioned limitations. And for the price, I can't be mad about the low-end HDD.
