 So it's Friday night and you're you're bro-ing out you got this great idea like yeah, you know what man? We should play some retro games all of them because the emulation isn't dying because of Nintendo lawsuits Anyway, fortunately, you're a well-equipped retro gamer You got all kinds of controllers for all kinds of amazing retro consoles N64 SNES original Ness Coleco Wow, but there's only one problem Even though you've got your emulation PC all set up and you got your retro arch. Oh, can he turn this? Oh, well, this is terrible. Everything is terrible. You're gonna have to come around You got your retro arch all set up with all your games and everything then you're like, oh How do I plug how do I plug one of these? into one of these If only there was a solution Oh, there it is And we're gonna tell you about it after this word from our sponsor Mac Weldon that well makes great underwear t-shirts socks wallets and more they believe in simple shopping if you use code tech tips You will get 20% off your next purchase. So go check them out at the link below So this right here is the bliss box in the box You get the bliss box adapter, which has got one USB B so a USB 2B at the back then it's got four HDMI Connectors now. Here's a funny thing that a lot of people don't know there is a huge difference between physical connection standards and Electrical connection standards and while you might see an HDMI port. That's a totally normal HDMI port and go, okay So that's a touch for video, right? You might not always be correct and I have seen HDMI used for all kinds of things I've even seen it used for PCI Express. That was pretty weird in this case All they needed was some kind of cheap Standard connector that they could get that had enough pins for everything they could possibly want to connect to it And can you walk us through what are all these some of them are fairly recognizable? I don't know if they're all labeled That's nice. This is SNES. This is NES This looks like GameCube. There's the Coleco. They ship you the bliss box and then this entire bouquet Of adapters so that you could have four controllers for pretty much any Retro console you would want and you don't have to go with even the Slightly different experience that you might get with something like an 8-bit dough controller. Wait, is this from 8-bit? Oh, wow No, this is from a SNES mini. Yeah. Oh, so this is first party. Yeah. All right, then does this have an adapter too? No, oh that was a mistake. We did not think of that. So in terms of setup, honestly, there's not a whole lot You got to configure these dip switches to determine whether you want four play mode or single play mode And then it doesn't require external power. You just go ahead and pop that USB in the back It supports a hundred plus types of controllers. So everything we've got here I mean with the exception maybe this is pretty mainstream from a retro gaming perspective and it even supports advanced functionality like pressure-sensitive buttons on PS2 controllers in games that support that and it has the ability to detect What kind of controller is in what type of port? So your emulator just with a restart at worst should be able to pick up exactly What all the button bindings are without any dinking around whatsoever The last major benefit of this aside from that It's just a single cable solution instead of having a bunch of dongles hanging out of the front of your case is that it is Extremely low latency. So the idea and we went and obtained this mammoth of a TV specifically so that we could evaluate that for ourselves the idea is that you should have a An as good as original latency gaming experience, but I'm not sure if I buy it yet. Yeah, let's see One thing we missed apparently you need to reset the bliss box when you change the controllers around I think there was a button here. So the every one of them has a button right beside it. Oh I see what's going on. It's plugged into the keyboard. Oh Well, we don't have it plugged in at all Dang it when you're trying to reset it and stuff It should say some like kind of yellowy text to the bottom of the emulator if that isn't showing up Maybe not plugged in There we go. Wait, what hold on? I'm just doing mine too. Is yours working? It was working for like a second And then I touched it Okay, so we had some problems and we have re-equipped I went home I got my SNES controllers like OG SNES controllers and my ps2 dual shocks Also, we figured out what was going on with Luke's PlayStation controller. It's mad cats There's also like a fray on the table There's some detection issues there the N64 controllers turns out that was a retro art issue And then finally the Coleco it looks like these are very simple devices There's nothing to really detect but there's a manual override. So we're just gonna Just gonna try again. Can we just play some chess games? because Like the whole thing is it's supposed to be really low latency Like there's some there's some part of the USB standard that it's using that mostly gets ignored That's supposed to allow it to be interrupt driven. Yeah, it's so theoretically it's like the best thing ever Okay, so can we just do Super Mario World? Yes Okay, because within a very short period of time I should be able to tell I'm like a jam You you probably have more experience here than me, but I've also played this game a bunch. Are you calling me old? No It's a classic you just were you know part of it when it first came out. That's all This is a little so far. Yeah, it looks I kind of zoned out just watching it looks like it's going well Oh, why'd I do that dang it Bad points for you stupid That's feeling good Trying real hard right now Gonna get it! Gonna catch it! Ta-da! SNES Super Mario World I'm impressed. Works good. Works good. Zero issues from my sense. All right. Okay, you pick the game this time You pick the game pick a game where you know how to play it and I don't see I'm not this old We're gonna do this one you hyped me up on this. Okay, we can play another Linus game. I'm gonna be cool I'm gonna be Harry okay, but Flatland is like I'm pretty into flatland. You have to do Flatland Which one even am I? I'm up here. What the heck? Okay. I don't remember any of the controls. Okay I don't even know what just happened there. I Think having the AIs in here might have been a mistake Okay, what the heck dude? Wait was that you? Yeah. There you go. Eat that ball, loser! Oh, loser! That's right. Now, you know, what's up. Wait. Oh boy. Oh I just picked up a heart. I think I think I picked up a heart. Oh someone threw a log at me Eat logs loser. Oh crap. I just got bombed. I'm in danger Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh watch out. Oh, he's got the bomb No I So anyway, this should probably move on but that's actually kind of fun This is a game that I used to play. I miss games like that Yeah, that are just like you can kind of figure it out kind of right away stupid dumb fun. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Okay, that's cool. I like that. Also no problem with controllers. Yep. Everything seemed to work fine. Yep feeling good Yeah, GameCube controllers are apparently like a thing now. Yeah Welcome to Mario Kart! Welcome to Mario Kart! Yeah. Thank you. I heard it. Sorry, which uh, which uh- I don't care Yeah, let's do Flower Cup. Jeez, what a guy. I'm funny to me See ya, see ya Whatever I have the crappy analog stick which actually is making more of a difference than it was previously so I've been playing this game with the classic controller on the Wii and I thought I sucked at this game, but actually I don't that controller just is not actually very good So wait because I'm perfectly good at this game now The James N64 controller you have right now is better than the classic one Oh so much better. I mean part of it too though again is muscle memory Like there's no way I would have been able to overtake that truck on the classic controller There we go. Come on, baby. Show me that first place I'm like gonna hopefully get six. I got completely wrecked Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, that was hard to watch. I actually hated this controller Really? I did not realize I didn't mind these controllers. I just got tools. I just didn't like how asymmetrical they were like it's a weird Organomic situation here for me. Are you ready to play some burger time? No, I want to watch you play first Oh, I think I'm dead now though. Yeah, but I put one Okay, so you have to step on something to make it fall Go go go you're in Okay This seems like the place where I have the most options They're on you though. I know I just I want them all behind me That's a whole burger here he goes Okay, we get to see what this is. Yeah, it is it's free life. That's awesome Yeah, that's right good trick Oh Very good run very good run. Okay, I think we can make it What what So I think really we can draw our conclusion, right? Yeah, if the objective of the foreplay from bliss box is low latency Multi controller support then I think there are a lot of the way there There's still some software niggles that a lot of them are as much to do with Third-party software as they are to do with bliss boxes implementation but it does mean that the user experience with what with the resetting controllers and Restarting your software every time is not amazing. Yeah, and there's the cost issue It is not cheap at 55 bucks for the box and then seven dollars each for the adapters Especially when you compare it to something like this that costs anywhere from 15 to 25 bucks for a couple controllers I mean seven times two is is a lot of that cost but the latency and the ability to Have this sitting on your desk and hot swap controllers as much as you want Even though you still have to have a lot of dongles sitting in a drawer somewhere So I think they're on a good path the retro gaming experience aside from our choice of titles Actually a lot of fun. Yeah, so I mean burger time was pretty name. We're giving it a Conditional thumbs up. Yeah conditional thumbs up still some work to do on the software and the ease of use and luckily all the problems Can be software or firmware updated but controller support was actually pretty darn good across the board for us And you've got Dreamcast support apparently which is pretty cool. Yeah, Ting Ting is the mobile carrier that makes sense It's the mobile carrier that lets you call them and talk to an actual person Which I mean who could imagine that in this day and age you don't need to talk to customer service You actually call and someone picks up and is like hello What can I do for you and you don't even pay extra for the privilege with ting you pay only for the data and the talk Time that you use and the average ting bill is just 23 bucks a month per device Furthermore if you switch to ting they'll cover 25% of your cancellation fee from your existing contract up to $75 and This is great if you check out their savings calculator Which we're gonna have linked below and you would save money on ting if you use our link So that's Linus 2018 dot ting dot com you will get 25 bucks in service credit or towards a new device So don't wait go check them out today So thanks for watching guys if you just like this video you can hit that button But if you liked it hit like get subscribed or maybe consider checking out where to buy the stuff we featured at the link in The video description also down there is our merch store which has cool shirts like this one Yeah, I like this one and our community forum Which you should definitely join and flow and flow plane you should join that too And you should probably get a click of vision control as you can play it perfect. You should probably not do that at all I am NOT endorsing the Kuleco vision at this time.
