It's a no brainer. $300, instead of $3,000,000. Also, the younger geeks on here don't realize that people in their 30's and 40's don't always want to spend the time to collect all of these files online. I've being doing emulators and roms since 1996, and it gets tiresome after awhile.

emulators are great (most of the time), since sometimes i came across things like: Spyro 3 don't has any background music or games that just straight don't load in the emulator that i'm using... so, finding the right file is difficult, but the result is worth it.

I got the 4TB 2.5 version of this for around $100 a few months ago and I was very happy with it because it wasn't just a ROM dump, it was all set up pretty well. If I knew the quality of this and hadn't already bought it, I'd not hesitate to buy the 12TB one at all. Wasn't thousands of bullshit games with many dupes or anything, just all the popular titles you'd likely want to play for many systems.

@@keepitshort4208 No real PS4, the 12 PS4 titles are just the PC versions of games available on both the PC and PS4, like GTAV, The Witcher 3, and RDR2. Emulation for the PS4 is very primitive at the moment, so this kinda makes sense. PS3 and Switch though are real ROMs, though, but the count isn't too high. 21 PS3 titles ('Afro Samurai.ps3' BLES00254 BLES01469 BLUS30230 'Castlevania - Lords of Shadow 2.ps3' Catherine.ps3 "Demon's Souls.ps3" 'Devil May Cry 4' "Dragon's Crown.ps3" 'God Of War 3' 'God Of War Collection' 'Lollipop Chainsaw.ps3' 'Mass Effect 2' 'Ratchet & Clank - Into the Nexus.ps3' 'Ratchet & Clank Trilogy.ps3' 'Rayman Origins.ps3' 'Ridge Racer 7.ps3' 'Soul Calibur IV.ps3' 'The Tomb Raider Trilogy' 'Wolf Among Us, The.ps3' '[Silent Hill Homecoming][BLUS30169][7.2]' ) and 18 Switch titles ('0217 - Flashback (Europe) (en,fr,de,it,es).xci' ARMS.nsp 'Borderlands Game of the Year Edition.nsp' Celeste.nsp 'Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy.nsp' 'Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled (XCI)' 'Do not feed the monkeys.xci' 'Enter the Gungeon.nsp' 'Hello Neighbor.nsp' 'Hollow Knight.nsp' 'Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2.xci' 'SONIC FORCES.nsp' 'Salt And Sanctuary.nsp' 'Splatoon 2 (US).nsp' 'Super Mario Odyssey.nsp' 'The Legend of Zelda Links Awakening.nsp' 'The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.xci' 'The Legend of Zelda_ Breath of the Wild.xci'). Can't comment on how most of those play since I haven't really touched them, but the Switch ones at least should work pretty smoothly (I tried mario odyssey, it was fine), haven't touched the PS3. The list seems pretty well curated, there are dupes of the 8 and 16 bit systems, but it's not a bunch of garbage, just maybe multiple revs of the same game or something like that. It doesn't look like it has any entire ROM dumps. But it has nearly all the popular titles of the platforms, and that's what I was looking for. But if I knew it was this well curated I'd be open to buying a larger drive. But the 12TB wasn't around when I bought. Hope that helps.

Full libraries of games can easily be found online to the point you can download them all in a single batch, or grouped alphabetically.

I think this is great for anyone starting out in emulation or even if you have a few collections. If you've ever tried to get a hold of collections before, especially systems like Teknoparrot and Atomiswave to name a few, then you know what a headache it can be. The configurations for those emulators can also be a minefield. This is great to just have those collection's available in one place which you can then set up how you want. Is it worth $300? Maybe if you think about trawling the net for those roms and getting the config files, etc and the time to do all that. The drive itself is worth around $180 I guess. Great video btw, cheers.

(PS4 emulator isn't good many bugs and choppy framerate, unless you play it in top of the line PC) that drive, it worth the price just for "ROMS" alone, even empty 12 TB cost about 300 bucks.

I ordered one, out of all you have reviewed this one seems like the most worth it, You get a great list of games with little missing and it's not $5k like the 96tb Chris Cool mod. I have my own hard drive with roms and isos Ive collected over the years from my own collections and downloads but honestly I don't have the time to really set up a dedicated drive like this. I haven't received it yet but I'll update this and give my thoughts. Update: So It finally arrived a few days ago and I've been testing around and playing with it in between working. I gotta say it's a pretty kick ass drive, it's a little loud, and I've had some controller and graphical glitches with some games the way they are configured, but most of the games work fine. Its filled to the brim with games with only 60gb of free space for adding any missing games. Speaking of, compared to my personal collection which some of which are romsets, I only counted a few missing games, PS3 being the main one, not a lot of PS3 games on this drive. There are also not a lot of PC games and Switch games which honestly makes perfect sense being not as big. Im not to familiar with Hyperspin and Rocketlauncher but I do think these are older versions of them, Honestly the frontend not working is the least if my issues as long as the games are there I can always replace the frontend with a better one, that being said the frontend doesn't suck to use and it's nice having videos pre set up for every game. Overall I'd definitely recommend this drive, It's a full hard drive so it is pretty large but this pared with a decent mini pc and you got a nice console replacement.

Pretty amazing little product. With so much choice of entertainment these days, people can play anything they wish, but an advantage of computer games in the early days before the internet was that although the graphics were horrible, everyone played the same games so wherever you travelled, you could jump in and play competitively with other people. The early systems like Atari or even the Vic20, C64, etc had the cartridges which allowed instant play without loading tapes or disks. Another advantage was we could jump into command prompt and quickly make games of our own using mostly Basic, but sometimes used Pascal, C++ and even Machine Code. During the 80's we made games like basic driving simulators like REVS, or choose your own adventure style games. Then I finished highschool in 91 and totally abandoned computers for a decade.

this is definitely a clean collection. as others have noted, I guess an alternative to decluttering & building a clean collection yourself is to just pick and choose games you want and copy them over to another drive. I have a pair of mirrored 6TB HDDs and when it comes down to it, my core collection with all my favorites from nearly every system fits on a 128GB micro SD - a 256GB drive would allow me to add a handful of my favorite PS3 titles and call it a day!

Have you experienced this? 2) Can you confirm that you are able to open the drive in Windows and see the file structure where you could copy a particular rom for a particular console out of the drive and place it in a different drive /computer. I am asking this because I would like to build a retro game system using Raspberry Pi but this SBC is limited in what game era it can run so I want to isolate the roms that it will have no problem running on a separate drive. 3) Are you planning to freely distribute your script mentioned in your post, or are you going to sell it?

lol, plug n play. Hyperspin is not plug n play. You will most likely have to configure a lot of emulators and install virtual disk software. I purchased one of these types of hypespin drives back in the day. I spent a week auditing roms and fixing directory structures to get it to work. By the end of the week i could have just built my own. That's good because you will need to know how hyperspin needs to work if you ever want to update anything or make changes. Some games are more compatible with certain versions of emulators etc. You will at least need to learn what emulator HS is using so you can look up what buttons need to be pressed to get into the configuration menu.
