The madness of grandeur. The package took a while to arrive but that's due to the epidemic, it's already good to have maintained the deliveries. On the other hand, I'm not very satisfied with the GPI console that I ordered. First, the list of games displayed on the site does not correspond to the games present on the console. The quantity is still there but the Neo-Geo category has disappeared for example :/ some titles are in the arcade category but not all (The Last Blade for example, even though it is an expected classic)! Another flaw that is much more annoying is the way emulators work. If most of them work well and recalbox offers many welcome options, the Arcade, Neo Geo, and Game Boy advance emulators (I didn't test all of them) work very badly! The sound saturates horribly, the games raaaaaaaaament to death and there is a lot of tearing and other image defects. I'm not sure I'd have expected any more optimization, at least for the must-have games (MarioKart Gba is unplayable, although I don't think it's very demanding). Given the number of games on offer, I expected this kind of malfunction, but what a shame not to have ensured that a minimum of classic games (which are sure to be launched by anyone who lays their hands on the console). Which leads us to wonder why they put so many games on the console, even though some of them don't work. I realize this is probably related to the technical limitations of the RaspBerryPi 0, but then why offer consoles that don't run? I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a console that doesn't work, but I'm sure it's a good idea to have a console that does work. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a console that doesn't work, but I'm sure it's a good idea to have a console that does work, but I'm sure it's a good idea to have a console that doesn't work. It's the very philosophy of the product that poses a problem, namely offering a ton of games, even if it means offering several iterations of the same sports game (which isn't very interesting), without worrying about whether the selection is relevant and above all functional! When you start up the console, you're faced with a mountain of games that you know you'll never get to play, and most of which aren't very interesting (a lot of Atari games, even though we know that this console is known for its games, which are all similar and not very original, unless you're an Atari fan...). This quantity of games sometimes borders on the absurd, unless you are a real retro games bulimic. The selection contains hack roms, french translations of japanese games, rare games, which allows to discover interesting games. -All the games are very well scrapped, it's very pleasant to scroll through the games and the covers in the menu, we really have the feeling to be in a museum and to face a part of the video game heritage (which seems to be the promise of the product) -Most of the emulators (up to 16 bits consoles) work very well and Recalbox offers very interesting options like a backup system for the games that don't have any (i.e. a lot). -The plug and play promise is well respected, you turn it on, everything is in place, hardware and software (except for some emulators as I said). -If the selection of games poses some problems, it must be recognized that it is also the ideal way to discover gems, randomly, at the bend of a menu, to play retro games other than the endless classics that everyone knows. It's possible to become a real explorer of video game history and to start exploring this gigantic video library. In short, I'm quite disappointed that the promise of being able to play the neo geo and the GBA on a portable console is not kept, if someone has a solution I'm a taker. An interesting object but one that would gain so much from being more polished.

I ordered a GPI on March 30th by DHL express 24h and I still haven't received it and it's April 2nd! I still paid an extra 10 euros for this express delivery. I have no answer from the shop about a possible date of reception!

The experience was not very pleasant due to a very long delay in the reception, two weeks for a reason that I don't know. I had to call the shopkeeper several times to get some news which did not really reassure me. In the end, I received my package without knowing what had happened (forgotten in the shipment, lost package??...). Well, apart from that, the packaging is very good, everything is well packaged and the few tests made (little time since I returned to work after this long wait) are conclusive and the product is of good quality ... I recommend the proposed products for the one who wants to make a retro cure!!!

I would have put "good" but just a few details have made the score drop a little. 1) due to a supply problem of their components, my order arrived more than two weeks later. It doesn't really bother me if the sales department would have contacted me to let me know about this problem. But it was me, who after a few days, contacted this department to know where my order was (ready to be received by the postal service for a week). 2) There are enough games that don't work (even when changing the emulation configuration of the game) or others that "bellow" or run in slow motion (Warriors of Migth anf Magic from Playstation, which I love, for example). It's not perfect, but you have to understand that it's emulation. ...otherwise it's a nice machine with games to play all your life, around childhood memories and nice discoveries! I hope later to be able to redo the lists a bit, delete the games I don't use (or can't use) and register new ones that are interesting!

The terminal as well as the 256GB SD card I took works well overall. However, the RaspBerry freezes regularly, so I have to pull the plug to turn it off. No manual concerning the use of microcomputers like Amiga, Atari, etc... When I launch a game on Amiga, I have the screen with the floppy disk to insert and it stays like that, a specific action to perform? I did connect a keyboard as indicated in the previous exchange. 3 stars only because even if the NESPi manual is already quite good, no specific information about the terminal and the use of microcomputer emulators.

Some problems frankly "rage" A priori it is top but in use, many things pose problem. First of all, the controllers provided do not meet certain needs on "recent" machines (Atari, Amiga, Playstation), even if plugging a current controller into a usb port solves a lot of them. Keyboards - physical or virtual - are not that. You can't run games with a mouse, and on some games, it's prohibitive. Saving, whether it's the one included in the games or the one offered via the recalbox, doesn't work in my experience. Finally, some emulations leave a lot to be desired, I'm thinking in particular of the Amiga 1200 where it is not uncommon for the game to simply not launch (image of a floppy disk to be inserted and no button interacts, it's annoying!!!) So, apart from these flaws (which are quite numerous but some of them can be explained by my lack of practice...), the rest is cool.

Purchased a Retrobox 64 07/2018 Purchased a Retrobox 64 in July 2018. At first contact, it's fabulous...but after some time of use, we realize that it is impossible to connect in wifi to add Rom more easily and that some games do not work (Formula One 99 on PS1) some games crash after 5 min of use. For the price, we want everything to be functional. More disappointed than happy.

Great Very well thought out, plug and play. But there are several games that I bought the console for that I can only play in co-op mode, like all the tetriss, dr mario, and other games like pro skater that I can play but no buttons work to do tricks. So for 460$ can... its not worth the price

I received my order and no worries about it. I read the pamphlet explaining different things, one in bulk caught my attention. Important the update of the console cancels the warranty out when turning on the console first thing that appears UPDATE. So what to do ????

Delay and lack of communication... I placed an order on 04/12/2019. It is now 12/16/2019, and not only have I not received the product I ordered, but I haven't heard anything since the order date. I have been trying to reach the delivery department since this morning, but no one is responding. The technical service does not answer either... I'm wondering if I'll ever receive the console. Very disappointed because of the long wait after ordering. I was very disappointed because I had to wait a long time to receive my console, but I finally got in touch with customer service and apparently an email was sent to customers to warn them of a delay (which I never received). The person on the phone assured me that my order would be sent on Wednesday. I will complete the order when I receive it...

I have to say that I am not satisfied with the quality of the product as I have not received it yet. But I am dissatisfied with the quality of delivery service. I ordered on November 16. On Thursday 21 they announced on my account that my order is ready and now it's the 30th and I still haven't received anything. I left a message 3 days ago on the site in the contacts section and they didn't reply to me and the same thing happened when I tried yesterday and today to contact the delivery service on the phone. For the price I paid I find this aberrant! So if you want to order a console to give it to someone for Christmas for example I advise you after December 10 to turn elsewhere or for Christmas 2020!
