What kinds of games do reviewers say are included?

Reviewers describe a broad selection of games from older consoles and arcade systems, including titles that brought back childhood memories. Some note that the selection and performance vary by game.

Is the console easy to set up and use?

Many reviewers say setup was quick and the interface was easy to navigate. Some found the controls confusing at first, and one reviewer felt the instruction booklet could be more specific to each system and controller.

Do all the games run properly?

Not according to every reviewer. Many say the games they tried worked well, but others report titles that would not load, ran slowly, or had glitches, particularly with some more demanding systems.

What do reviewers say about delivery times?

Experiences vary. Some reviewers describe fast or timely delivery and order updates, while others report delays of several weeks. A few say their order never arrived, so reviews do not point to a consistent delivery experience.

How responsive is customer support after purchase?

Reviews are mixed. Some customers describe quick, useful answers, including help with setup or sound issues. Others say their emails or messages about faults, game problems, or technical questions went unanswered.

What happens if a console arrives faulty or develops a problem?

Some reviewers say they received troubleshooting help or a replacement after a faulty console arrived. Others report difficulty getting a response about faults or replacement parts, so experiences with after-sales help differ.

Are the controllers easy to use and compatible with games?

Some reviewers say the controllers work well, while others describe a learning curve or problems with particular games. Reports also mention wireless input delay and a wired controller that did not last, so controller experiences vary.

Do reviewers consider the consoles good value?

Many positive reviewers describe the consoles as worth the price, citing the large game selection and hours of entertainment. Others express dissatisfaction when products did not arrive or when problems were difficult to resolve.

A fun little throwback

Love having so many old games in one place; setup was straightforward and it brought back a lot of memories. Shame I couldn't get a reply when I had a question.

Avoid, just avoid…

I ordered a product from these guys but they never responded to my emails and messages nor did the product ever arrive. Luckily I was able to get a refund via PayPal and order a similar product from another company - Retropia, who’s service has been much better. Avoid.

Took £200 and no console or response from company...

I placed an order on the 8th December 2021 with acknowledgement of a one weeks delay on all items purchased. It got to christmas and still nothing. I sent them two emails each to the emails given on there website and Facebook page and even Facebook messaged them. It is now the middle of January and I still havent heard anything from them, . Fortunately I paid through PayPal so I have escalated the matter with them to try and get my money back. £200 is a lot of money to most people and to spend that on something and then not receive it is disgraceful. I would query whether this company is still active or whether they are just happy to take people's money and not send anything.

Avoid avoid avoid!!

Avoid this company at all costs!! No response to any emails requesting for a refund, these crooks have essentially stolen £169 of my money, no refund, no response to any emails, to their email address or via the form on their website, and no console! Incidentally you can build these emulators for free! Buy a Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 off eBay (circa £60-£90 depending on model) and download “Recalbox” (for free!) the games for all systems this outfit supposedly are available within Recalbox and game ROMS are available (again for free) on the net and cover all systems these clowns supposedly sell. The Rapsberry Pi 3 & 4 have Bluetooth and wireless inbuilt, both work perfectly with a PS4 controller. I’ve seen another review on there with issues with Bluetooth from these supplied systems! Once again do not! I repeat do not! Part with your money!! You won't get a refund or even the console! See the picture in my post which is my Raspberry Pi 4 unit, built for a fraction of the cost!

Love this little box to bits defiantly…

Love this little box to bits defiantly worth the money, hours of fun to be had but have to say to lack of response to emails and messages let’s them down massively, when I say lack of response I’m mean I had no response at all from anyone.

Here are my good/bad/ugly experiences…

Here are my good/bad/ugly experiences with Retrocade - I hope that this is of some use to others thinking of buying a unit. I bought the Ultra Edition in July and the unit arrived fairly quickly which I was pleased about. When I opened it I was pleasantly surprised with the good level of basic kit inside. Setting up the unit for first use was simple and I was playing some games within 10 mins or so. The GUI is fairly straightforward, so most basic console savvy people won’t have any issues. The first thing I noticed when trying to play games wirelessly via the Bluetooth controllers, was that there is a delay between controller input and game response - this was a long enough delay to make the games annoyingly unplayable as they lost their basic game play fluidity. I contacted Retrocade about this twice over a period of 4 weeks and got no response. I’m not sure if Retrocade provide any sort of aftercare customer service once they take your money, so don’t expect anything different if you have a problem with your unit. After messing around with using the charging cables instead of trying to play wirelessly, I realised the controller lag disappears when the PS controllers are connected via USB. My basic and possibly not 100% accurate assessment of this is that either the Bluetooth(?) module on the Rasberry Pi hardware platform is either an old chipset that isn’t suitable for this fast signal purpose, or the coding used to communicate the protocol between the PS style controllers and the unit needs urgent attention as it doesn’t work well at all. The provided usb charge cables are too short to use with live game play, so you’ll need to buy a 3-5m cable per controller if you want some flexibility with movement. When the controllers are plugged in and you reset the unit, the usb controller connection is lost virtually every time, so you need to keep switching between usb sockets to keep reinitialising the wired connection, so this is very buggy. Re: games in general, I found that most N64 games are unusable due to graphics and sound glitches, so clearly the emulations don’t work on this hardware. PS1 and also some other post 16bit era consoles don’t work well either, so are a waste of time. Many of the 8/16 bit games seem to work, but there are lots of crashes - I’d say the system crashes and glitches on possibly 50% of the games I’ve tried and sometimes on the main GUI itself. Overall, I’d say if you can live with the need to use wires with the controllers and the many game and system glitches this system has, then you can have lots of fun with this unit - just don’t expect more than c.40% of its advertised functionality and also don’t expect anything in the way of aftersales support. I’ve decided to keep the unit, but I’m sure others wouldn’t, so I guess it depends on what you’re willing to put up with to play the old games you still want to play. I hope the above helps you with your purchase. Cheers

It seems this is a Money Grabbing…

It seems this is a Money Grabbing Company, no response on Facebook, they are great at selling their products but when you develop a fault with it, it's pure silent. My console was a gift, bought in November 2020 but hardly used probably about 6hrs in total until August 2021, well kept and maintained but its not working, there seems to be a power issue but they are not responding but still trading. Highly Advise not to buy from them as will probably not respond when a fault occurs, they seem to be shipping consoles as reviews suggest they have not completely disappeared. Basically you have no warranty despite the 12 months they offer or state.
