Does the Game Stick Pro really come with 20,000 games?

Yes, the New Upgrade Retro Game Console Stick is pre-loaded with over 20,000 titles. This extensive retro game console with built-in games list covers virtually every classic game from the 80s and 90s. While there may be some regional duplicates, you will find almost all major titles from systems like the PS1, FC, SFC, GBA, and Arcade MAME.

How do I save my game progress?

Unlike the original consoles which required memory cards or passwords, the game stick uses a modern feature called Save States. To save, simply press SELECT + START on the controller simultaneously to open the menu. Select Save State to store your exact spot. When you return later, use the same menu to select Load State and resume immediately.

Will this work on my old non-4K TV?

The device is designed with an HDMI output. It works on any television, monitor, or projector that has an HDMI port. If you have an older TV (720p or 1080p), the game console will automatically scale the image to fit your screen resolution. It is truly plug and play regardless of your TV model.

Can I add my own games to the console?

Yes, the system is open. The micro-SD card allows you to add your own ROM files if you have specific obscure titles that are not included. You simply need to insert the SD card into a computer, open the folder corresponding to the console (e.g., PS1 or GBA), and drag your game files in. However, most users find the built-in library covers everything they need.

How do I fix controller delay or lag?

We address this in our troubleshooting section, but the most effective solution is to change your TV settings. Most modern TVs have image processing that causes delay. Switch your TV picture mode to Game Mode. Additionally, ensure the retro gaming consoles is not blocked by the back of the TV by using the included HDMI extender cable to improve the wireless signal path.

What makes the 2Bluebox version different from cheaper ones online?

Many generic sticks use cheaper, slower processors that cannot handle PS1 games or Arcade titles smoothly, leading to slow sound and choppy video. At 2Bluebox, we stock the New Upgrade version with the S905X chipset verified for performance. We also provide local support and a warranty, ensuring you do not get stuck with a defective unit.

Is the menu language in English?

Yes, all units shipped from 2Bluebox are pre-configured to English. The system supports multiple languages, so you can change it in the settings if needed, but it works in English right out of the box.
