        So if we are lucky to score the 1619 games version, or get a copy of the SD card, is that good to go or does it still need tweeks?

      Any chance you could make a copy of the SD card image and share it here please!

      • shmahoo on 27/12/2024 - 10:07

        does anyone know what are the rules about sharing copies of old old old arcade ROMs - is it still illegal?

          I have the 1619 one and all the top games seem to be missing, so I would assume Jaycar removed any they thought would cause licence issues. Otherwise its been sold as an Austrian retail version and only of use to someone with the matching hardware, so ok in my book.

          • freeb1e4me on 28/12/2024 - 22:27

            @cooperdog: What are the top games that are missing in your opinion? I will try to put them on

            • cooperdog on 03/01/2025 - 23:38

              @freeb1e4me: Just Google the top rated games for each system, hardly any on those list there, in particular the Nintendo and Sega ones, although I can understand Jaycar avoiding those! Pokemon, Sonic and Mario would have given their lawyers a field day.

              Interestingly about 4000 images in the subfolders for many of the missing games.

    • freeb1e4me on 31/12/2024 - 19:45

      I just hooked mine up and could see 1619 games

      It’s better but it’s still hard press to find over 50 good games. They also deliberately name the games differently to avoid trouble like ghost busters is now devil busters.

    I brought 2 yesterday, both have 1619 games, though one card had errors and not all games would load. In the process of making an image of the good card.

    whats a good site for me to goto to look at repurposing old windows tablet PCs and setup a desktop arcade? I have a single player joystick of some sort that I will rewire with one of those USB joystick encoders.

  • TheDukeOfNukem on 27/12/2024 - 14:28

    Plugged it in, runs some version of Android, didn't expect that. Will report back whenever I load it up with roms.

    Thanks again OP.

  • cheepo on 27/12/2024 - 14:43

    I thought I would try to see if I could get it to load an Android version of "Emuelec" from a fresh SD card seeing it's some sort of Android board inside but I've had no luck with the few images I've tried. My attempts were with both generic "rockchip" and "amlogic" images available but none would boot. I'm no Emuelec expert though and I perhaps missed something critical or picked the wrong image for this unit.

    My thinking is that its board has been ripped from an old/low powered Android TV box (because they are dirt cheap, were mass produced and this thing is only powered by 5A). I've done some searches on the part numbers listed on the two boards inside the unit but that got me nowhere.

    Edit: So we know there are two possible SD cards that come with this but is there a third with 2520 included games? A screenshot on page 6 of the manual suggests this.

    • cooperdog on 27/12/2024 - 18:57
      +1

      I notice that in the roms folder each console has a subfolder called 'image' with a lot more screenshot images than included roms. I suspect these may have been included during development, maybe they were removed after the manual was written and before production.

      I tried adding some roms with the same name into the rom folder, but it didn't find them.

      What did work was creating an image subfolder in the downloads folder and then copying images with the same name as the downloaded rom into there.

      • cheepo on 27/12/2024 - 23:11

        Thanks for the tip. I'll be trying to add roms but likely removing some also as I prefer not to have hundreds of games to scroll through to find something you like. It's frustrating the process isn't more user friendly seeing it's advertised on the box that we can add our own games. I can only image the struggles somebody not tech-savvy would have with this and why there would be some returns as a result.

        • cooperdog on 28/12/2024 - 09:45
          +2

          I haven't tried it yet, but there is a file game.db in the root folder. It contains all the games and can be edited using an SQL editor e.g. https://sqlitebrowser.org/dl/

          I assume you can edit this to generate a new set of master ROMS, also hopefully fix up the display names. Even copy some jpgs into the image folder for a full personalised experience… If you have the motivation and time.

          And don't forget a backup before you start in case things don't go to plan…

          • cooperdog on 28/12/2024 - 16:21

            @cooperdog: Partly works, you can add/remove ROMS if you carefully edit the filenames, looks like there are requirements for the jpg images, small ones I think.

            Take care as well.

  • TheDukeOfNukem on 27/12/2024 - 18:52

    Sorry to make a million comments but the edit window on my last one is over,

    So far, everything works fine, and is surprisingly not shit (more or less lag free, even on PS1 stuff)

    .GBA, .NES, .sfc, .MD, .GB, etc. all work fine without zipping. Every arcade .zip file I threw at it ran fine and worked with the second controller configured out the gate (probably will run into the 6 button issue mentioned above but not a problem for the games I wanted). PS1 I stuck with .BIN files because they were what I had on hand from another emulator (no IMG files on me at the moment) and they all ran fine. Like many of these cheap bastards though, they don't like apostrophes and the sort, so as much as it pains me to do it, if you want to play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, you'll have to call it Tony Hawks or Tony Hawk or THPS or something, the appostrophe WILL make it refuse to boot.

    PS1 has an FPS reading on screen at all times in the lower left corner that I can't seem to turn off which sucks, but oh well. Other than that, and that every game will be stretched to the full length of the display, no real complaints. I look forward to a bit of split screen THPS action on a two player arcade board soon.

    • freeb1e4me on 27/12/2024 - 20:40

      What size screen would be best given the fully stretched issue?

      • TheDukeOfNukem on 27/12/2024 - 20:52
        +1

        Depends on the console. Got something widescreen like GBA? Fine on a bog standard modern tele (in terms of stretching anyway), original square little Game Boy though? Gonna look a bit f'd in the a. To be fair, most modern TVs do offer scaling options to combat this.

        GBA looked aaaaaarse on an 86 inch, but at least it didn't look stretched horizontally.

    • nk64 on 29/12/2024 - 17:02

      horsiezoo squeezed out some performance improvements of the Playstation Emulation. Please see the discussion here.

  • jimbler on 27/12/2024 - 18:52

    They must have 11 gazillion of these things in every store. Every single store near me still has stock. Usually when it hits this site these kind of things are gone in 10 minutes.

      Out of stock in sydney stores. Just checked

    • TwinVader on 27/12/2024 - 18:58

      Sold out so quickly at my local that they were fulfilling click and collect orders as I tried to grab stock Boxing Day morning. Gratefully they had a few at a nearby store and called to have one parked for me, they are selling out at some stores and not others, the site mightn’t be indicative of true stock. YMMV

    • solpiry on 27/12/2024 - 21:10

      yeah, plenty of stocks in WA as well.

      • jimbler on 27/12/2024 - 21:53

        Still lots in my local stores around North Brisbane. When I went to pick up mine yesterday the guy at the counter said they were getting hammered with orders for it and he couldn't work out why. Then he saw the price and understood why.

        I still haven't opened mine yet, so I have no idea if it's a good deal or not. I've still got the relatives staying with me, and I'm guessing this is going to take some time to get it working to a decent level, so I'm waiting until they go.

    Got all the full collections of the console systems( GBA, NES, SFC, MD, GB, GBC) working with a few cps2 and other games not booting on FBA and Mame. All console games works perfectly fine on the 32GB microSD card that came with it. I have now a total of 7500+ games including a couple of PSX games. I am using the collections from the PlayStation Classic Mini I downloaded a couple years ago from Arcade Punk. It's a great system for $49.

      put them in the downloads/sfc folder.
      Have also tryed sega megerdrive roms .smd
      Put them in the download/MD folder. Have not tested them zipped but I dont see why not.

      Will test some more as I go.

      But the FC (short for famicon, the Japanese name of the system) folder is Nintendo entertainment system.
      Bba and gbc and gb folders are for game boy advance, gameboy colour and game boy roms respectively

            It is possible that there is a difference in the main menu program (/bin/gmenu2x) that means the 'add your own roms' feature was neutered.

    I have released a utility called unimaginatively GT4286Util

    It is currently windows only, but I am happy to receive feedback if there is a desire for other OS's (and willing testers).

    Currently it only has 2 functions:
    - Attempt to identify the generation of the SD Card (or backup folder)
    - Update the game.db with new and removed games in /roms and /download directories (it prompts you before making any changes)

    Functionality on the roadmap:
    - Patch fbneo emulator for button fix
    - Scan for vestigial files like save state files, images and config files for games that are no longer there, old and misplaced emulator binaries. And offer to remove them.
    - Scan for missing game images (and import them from eg a MAME snaps folder)
    - Trick out the fbneo emulator so we can have human readable arcade game names instead of cryptic names like "mmancp2u"

    It hasn't been tested by anyone but me, so please let me know how you go and join in the discussions or browse the repository. If you 'Watch' the repository you will get notified of any updates.

  • ThighHighDemise on 29/12/2024 - 09:43

    For those more interested in potentially picking one of these up to adapt into a usb controller to connect to an external PC (or raspberry pi/whatever else) instead of dealing with the included SOC, it's quite easy to accomplish. All the USB lines are clearly labelled on the IO board. Hooked up to a Linux/Windows PC shows up as two separate HID devices (p1/p2) and generic drivers work fine. For $50, I'm happy.

    • cheepo on 29/12/2024 - 10:01

      How is this possible without modification? How are you connecting it to an external device and would it require two USB connections for it show as two separate HIDs (2 players)?

      • ThighHighDemise on 29/12/2024 - 10:48
        +2

        Unfortunately, you'll need to modify it to accomplish this. When you open it, there's two PCBs inside, one for the IO and the other for the actual computer. The IO board is pretty clearly labelled (I'll refer to nk64's github: https://github.com/nk64/GT4286/blob/main/img/hardware/io-boa… - right side of the PCB) with the four lines of a usb cable. You'll need to do some soldering to connect those 4 pads to either a female USB socket or you can hack up a USB cable. When you plug this into your computer two controllers are detected ( https://imgur.com/UYkUxrl ) as a "Twin USB Gamepad" (Hardware ID USB\VID_0810&PID_0001 for the curious, seems to be used in a lot of cheap PS2 -> USB converters)

        You could also rewire the buttons to an arcade USB io board if you didn't want to solder (eg. https://www.jaycar.com.au/usb-interface-for-joystick-and-but… - cheaper on ebay or aliexpress) but this would be a lot more involved.

          That makes more sense now and appreciate the response. I was wondering if there was a way to have this connected to an external device whilst still being to easily switch back to the way it was intended to used. My soldering skills are rubbish though and I don't want to jeopardize turning this an empty arcade stick shell.

          I haven't had a chance to look at the GPIO pins the joysticks and buttons are connected but doubt they are in the order that a Raspberry Pi running Retropie would recognize if plugged it directly to the GPIO pins on a Pi board. Minimizing the need to mod anything permanently and eliminating the need for a USB joystick encoder.

          I can live most of the limitations of the machine out of the box but not being able to change the aspect ratio natively on games is distracting. I've been too spoilt by the customisation frontends like Batocera and Emulation Station offer. Part of me regrets not purchasing the Retropie arcade stick for an extra $30 when they were available at Jaycar.

    Still trying to work out a way to fix the player 1 buttons not working

    • nk64 on 29/12/2024 - 15:08

      Some troubleshooting options here

  • Retroarcade450 on 29/12/2024 - 11:28

    Hi there are you able to get a serial connection via tty1 / does it show up in device manager as a com port when connected to pc?

    Oops was meant to be a reply to ThighHighDemise

    • ThighHighDemise on 29/12/2024 - 21:30

      Nah, no extra com port is shown when it's connected.

  • Jerrycan on 29/12/2024 - 16:05

    I purchased one of these and on my 32GB card is only about 150 games. I conducted a Google search and found the roms to over 1,500. You need a minimum of a high speed sd card with at least 64 gb so you can add more content down the track. No modifications or editing directories with jpg files etc that is time consuming and link works straight out of the box. This is not as powerful or as fast as a Raspberry Pi. But at $49 it’s worth it. Raspberry Pi would be the best option if this can be modified.

    • nk64 on 29/12/2024 - 16:53

      Nice. If you want to get 6 button FBA/MAME games working properly, check out this discussion over at the GitHub repo.

      ThighHighDemise posted earlier about modifying this hardware to be the controller for a PC or Raspberry Pi.

    • easternculture on 29/12/2024 - 19:15

      Do you mind pming me the link. Your pms are off.

      • nk64 on 29/12/2024 - 21:04

        Sorry, I have turned PMs on. I botched the links to the info about hardware mods. Here it is: https://github.com/nk64/GT4286/blob/main/Hardware%20Modifica…

          I was referring to @Jerrycan link

            @easternculture: Ah, sorry. Earlier in the thread ExerionExo mentioned that Archive.org has a backup and to search for GT 4286 games.

          • Jerrycan on 29/12/2024 - 22:32

            @easternculture: For more info.
            Search google gt 4286 games
            This works without editing any scripts mentioned in the previous posts and if you follow their advice you will waste hours trying to get it to work.
            I read the previous posts on page 1 and have done the modification Hackster wrote in basic instructions.
            The audio mentioned not working the menu in the monitor software is in Asian language. You will have to use Google translate on your phone. You will then see audio options to change. Mine is now working with 1500 games.

            @easternculture: Info that works look carefully at sub headings

              @Jerrycan: Format a high speed card minimum 32GB in fat32.
              Drag files across to card that’s it.
              I uploaded a photo of the complete unit

    Got one of these today - hadn't seen this post. The store in Kingston (Tas) had a cutsheet they were giving out on how to load your own games etc.

    nk64 is spot on with his review but here's my thoughts….

    First impressions? Its not speedy but it does run emulated games at the correct speed for the most part.
    It does allow you to save progress for games with varying levels of success.
    For the price I'm happy to buy it - I'm going to build a DIY arcade cab and I'll use this as the basis for the controls.
    The buttons are probably not going to stand up to intense use but for what I need it's perfect.

    I'll have fun playing with it and experimeting with it.

    You can also plug in additional USB controllers into the USB port at the back.

    I wouldn't spend $249 but happy to spend $49 on this.

    • nk64 on 29/12/2024 - 21:18

      Cheers,

      Please visit my GitHub repository and the associated discussion section so you don't have to start your experimenting from scratch (although I would understand if you do want to look at it from first principals).

      If you find out anything interesting please considering sharing it over there too.

      As far as I know no-one has had any significant success plugging in external USB Controllers.
      See the "USB controller?" discussion for more.

      Don't forget to take a copy of your SD Card first!

  • hikaru78 on 30/12/2024 - 17:42

    I was able to scrape images using Selph Scraper and move it into the correct directory.

    It also has a mame mode to grab all the fba images.

    One last thing to do is to get ChatGPT to clean up the rom names.
    export sql - get ChatGPT to provide an updated list and then update the db.

    Thats one more project finished for now

  • bcYield on 30/12/2024 - 22:50

    Anyway to combine for 4 players if you get 2?

    • nk64 on 31/12/2024 - 15:31

      Unfortunately, only with two screens and some imagination.

      Alternatively if you are handy with a soldering iron, you could look at converting the console to a USB device to plug into another computer such as a PC or Raspberry Pi where you could run up MAME or RetroArch and use two consoles as four joysticks to have four players going at once.

      https://github.com/nk64/GT4286/blob/main/Hardware%20Modifica…

      • bcYield on 31/12/2024 - 15:37

        Sounds like an option. Note it, thanks.

    • freeb1e4me on 31/12/2024 - 19:33

      Which 4 player games are looking to play?

  • rheggiey on 31/12/2024 - 12:33

    Have anyone tried exfat format for the sdcard instead of fat32?

    • hikaru78 on 31/12/2024 - 12:44

      Doesn't work

      • FenrirUnleashed on 31/12/2024 - 20:33

        Yeah I put an old image on an exfat and it would not load, just got static screens flash in and out on an otherwise black screen.
        Any one recomend a disk management program that will fat32 over 32gig?
