- All sort of relics can be found at car boot sales and this week I came across an OUYA games console, the result of a popular kickstarter campaign dating back to 2012. Introduced as a £99 or $99 android based system I picked this one up for just £5, and until I got it home I couldn't understand why it was so cheap.
Thanks for watching :) - Věda a technologie
Friend : are you just going to get rid of that thing?

I remember being so excited for the OUYA and had it pre-ordered for months in advanced. After several hours of frustration trying to get it to work with the emulators back then, I took it outside and smashed it into pieces.

just put custom firmware on, and use it as an emulator
Why the random comma?
@@GeneralJameson does that really matter?
@@GeneralJameson It's not random. When connecting two complete statements with an "and" you're meant to use a comma. "Use it as an emulator" is its own independent sentence so a comma before the "and" is warranted.

You can "hack" the Ouya and instal Android 4.4 (or an more actual, I don't know), and turn that little console in a awesome "Emulator Machine", runs a tons of emulators, from 8-bit to some 64-bit consoles...
Can it play goat simulator

I hope you get to see this comment. I just want you to know that I've been following your channel for a long time and I love your videos. I am very happy to know about your channel and I wish you the best for the future! Thank you for making such great content. Take care my friend!
They shipped it with Poundland batteries, that says it all...
I like how you actually gave Ouya a chance, unlike most other people ho just start off the bat with memes.
Next can you do the Soulja boy game console?
I had an Ouya back in the day, and i still have it. It's been years since i played the thing, but i'll definitely hook it up one of these days, just to make sure that it's up to date, before the servers are shut down.
Unlike seemingly everyone else, i loved my Ouya. It was a cheap device, and i think people's expectations were waaay too high. I got my moneys worth out of mine, because of just a few games. Primarily bombsquad. With a few friends, it was one of the most fun party games i've ever played. Essentially, you run around an arena with a character, picking up power ups and bombs, throwing them at each other, trying to blow each other up. It was absolutely hilarious! Hidden in plain sight was also really good fun. It was a big arena filled with NPC's, one player was walking on screen, trying to blend in with all the NPC's, and it was the job of the other players to try and find who was hidden. Also a hilarious game with friends. There were a few others as well, but many many hours were spent, and many great memories were had! :) Really though, all the games i played and really enjoyed, i think was party games, all of them.
My console is the day 1 backer edition. I didn't back it, i never back any crowdfunding campaigns, but one went up for sale for a cheap price, pretty much days after the backers got them, and i grabbed it right away. Long before the actual retail versions became available.
Anyway, i'm hoping that i can grab a bunch of controllers for cheap, when the servers shut down, because the one that came with the backer edition was just awful.
And if the games become unplayable with the servers offline, then i won't feel bad hacking it, and putting a whole bunch of games on it. :)
I also love my ouya I have a developer console (clear one)
Mannn I love the OUYA. The SLI RTX 3080 ti with intel core i10 can easly play all of my steam games on ULTRA graphics
Yeah that's cool and all, but can it run goat simulator tho?
Don't forget 10 TBs of ram and 500TBs of memory
Don't forget the 1gb ram
@DaveDoesGamez Internal memory and Ram are two completely different things
@@vladimirvladinov9270 No, they're not different. RAM and Memory both refer to RAM. What you're thinking of is Internal and External STORAGE.
I bought it when it a few months after it came out, and I was quite pleased with it. Still have it. What surprised me the most was that almost everyone genuinely expected the graphics to be as the xbox 360. Much the console was destroyed by deluded gamers.
It was actually a cool little thing that did what it was supposed to and opened up for lots of developers to get their small games out. So many good hours spent playing fun little games I would never even see on other stores.
3:10 i agree. i think the "Make" option thing is pretty cool. i never even heard of this thing before, so its interesting to see that they offered the "Make" thing to make your own games.
Bloody hell.

the ouya seems cool but I think that something like a jailbroken PS3 RGH 360 or jailbroken Wii U would be better

You can take your Xbox Or Playstation controller, connect it via Bluetooth to your phone and there you go. Now you can play regular Phone games with a Controller.
You need to try Bombsquad.
Gather a few friends and run it.
This was the only thing I real play/played on this console and it still is great fun
That thing is One of the best Android games, heck, we play it a ton in the TV
my old ouya still gets used nearly everyday with a wireless xbox one controller for emulators and Plex. Such a great console man i loved it
Really like how you've gotten more relaxed with your editing/recording. Videos are great keep it up my guy!
EDIT: This thing looks pretty interesting tbh, I would like to see some home-brew content from you about it.
7:05 holy ducking feces man I have not seen or heard about this game in such a long time o.O Thanks for the awesome nostalgia trip!
Just so everyone knows, Emulators aren't a "grey area". It's been ruled on and deemed to be not only legal, but good. A Judge in one of the cases actually said that "Emulators provide competition" and went on to say how important that was. Pirating ROMs is illegal, but Emulators are 100% legal. And ripping the data off of your cartridges is 100% legal, too.
This could still be a great moonlight gamestream machine... supposedly you can use third party controllers with this device...
I would try to flash newer android or at least the play store.
Lmao that intro was SMOOTH XD
More like OUNO.
Ill show myself out.
And don't come back!
Yeah, Please do that.
The window is that way.
Rooftop jumping works too lol
"The Ouya just shouts it's own name and lights your screen up orange."
*Tribal chant* "OOO-YA!"
"Fair enough."
yo love your content man ive been here for 3 years and its been a blast !!!
For the price I would say BOUYA !
That is a very cool mini PC and they should release it as an open source emulator platform for a slightly lower price. If they remove the account requirement or make the account free then I am sure it might boost sales as a media box or emulation box.
Not gonna lie but the intros keep getting better and better 😁😁😁

Erratic Director ummm yeah lol
old and overused joke is old and overused
👍!👍! Lmfao. I can't believe they had the start up say "OUYA". Good job.
I loved my Ouya. It got me into technology as a whole and I wouldn't have my job today if not for the Ouya community getting me excited for technology.
flash a custom ROM (i.e Lineage OS) on that OUYA, maybe run android 9 on it too
Android 9? With 1GB of RAM?
The ouya looked so cool and I remember being hyped for it back in middle school
i was kinda impressed too, saw it on a tech magazine and i thought it was pretty cool. never heard of it again afterwards until i saw crowbcat's video on it.
I've had a OUYA for years and I think it's great however I haven't used it for a year
I will buy it from you.?
Hi, great video. Try and find a Madcatz Mojo. It uses the tegra 4 chip and makes a great emulation machine plus it would be a good video piece :)
You're bringing out alot of your personality in these lastest videos, which is amazing. Keep doing you 👍
Oh so now youtube shoves two ads down my throat at once, cool
adblock
@@VineLeafGreen I was on my iphone
I'd buy one of these.
I still think they are really cool.
Sadly, these are double the price of a ps3 where I live...
I remember thinking this was gonna be ground breaking. Glad I held off on buying one.
You werent the only one, me and my whole group from 360 days were thinking the same thing and were talking about backing and getting it day one
Whenever you say google play store my google assistant wakes up
You might be pleased to know that the community has "revived" the ouya store. All it takes is dragging an ouyaproperties.xml file onto the console and boom! You're ready to go. :)
Mine overheated and has been a paper weight since. Very common too. Make sure it has good ventilation/airflow! And I have two controllers for it as well......
the main problem the Ouya had wasn't with the console itself really, the problem was competition. After the kickstarter other established companies decided to make their own versions. Madcatz made one and even the Nvidia Shield was pretty much just a suped up version of the Ouya, which is really shady as Ouya was already buying their Tegra chips from Nvidia. Ouya did attract a lot of indie developers in the beginning, but MIcrosoft and Sony both started their own "indie" divisions to court companies away from the Ouya. It's a fun littel emulation box and really these days it can be bought cheaper than a RaspberryPi and it includes a controller. FYI just about any USB or Bluetooth controller can pair with it as well. I always used PS3 controllers with mine. They also weren't bad for running XBMC / Kodi back in the day, but more current versions can run kind of slow today. I had a lot of fun dragging this over to my friends' houses and just retro gaming the day away. If they had advertised the emulators they would've been given lawsuits by all of the major game companies.
Oh man I was so hyped for the ouya 2 next gen killer!
I bought it at 40$ a few years back. The first one I bought wad a brick and I had to exchange it. I really hated the controller but it "did the job". The touch pad was cool. Some of the apps were really good like the weird work out apps. The puzzle games were good too. Clarc, knightmare tower, and Regan Gorbachaev and dubwars were just a few. The ouya really needed ongoing support. I eventually stopped using mine because the CZcams app was abandoned and would only display in the top 45% of the screen. It doesn't even load the app anymore. If they werent going to keep up with it I ought not to as well. I keep it though because the premise was cool. A cheap console with short games to play And each game is required to have a demo, awesome. It was like having a cheap arcade unit in the home. Thing is it was just another fad like those arcade machines of old. It also ran terribly but the idea was there.
I have one of these and I have NES, SNES, GB, PSX emulators on it and it works great. Also, I found out about updating it to Android Pie with Google Play Store on it with Lineage OS
Any instructions would be most helpful
@@dungydroppy1485 www.s-config.com/cyanogen-mod-and-the-ouya/
Have one. Sadly, service will be discontinued in a few weeks. I use it for NES/SNES emulation.
The amazing thing is they spent millions and millions developing it.
Thank you for making sure my Google assistant still works
I backed the Ouya. I thought it could have been a cool retro gaming machine (see the work of Locomalito and Matt Thorson released first on the Ouya). During the campaign, I asked some other dev friends what they thought. "It's a scam. It'll never come out." they said. After I got my Ouya, I saw them shortly after and asked them again, "Well, no one's making games for the thing. It's dead in the water." So Devs didn't make games for it because 'it was a scam.' Then rejected it after it came out because no one else was making games for it. Fact of the matter is the Ouya did everything the creators said it would do, except succeed.
Keep us updated! Can you flash a custom rom? Might be a nice device if can put a VPN and use for Netflix streaming?
you can already do that with nords APK and netflix's amazon based APK sideloaded on a flash drive or micro SD card
@@Carbiniz3r so after the Shut down... Can we still sideload apps? For a fiver with a controller it seems pretty neat!
@@dadgamer6717 Although its shut down, Everything including the marketplace are still propped up on legacy servers and still running. Simply put, the shutdown only halted the creation of new content and updates. You can still get on, login and download the apps that are still there, which theres alot. Sideloading requires no internet to the ouya at all, you can either connect a PC to your OUYA with a micro USB to USB cable and drag .apk files into it from a windows PC Or you can use a flashdrive or micro SD card to sideload. apk files.
@@dadgamer6717 also any bluetooth controller works with it. So i use a newer xbox one controller with it
I went to Best Buy and bought one for $99 right after launch. Back then it was nice having an emulator that connected through HDMI to my HDTV. That’s about all I used it for but it was a fun little device. Those controllers though...
You forgot that when this device was released the Tegra 3 was already obsolete.
There's a lot of unique and charming games on Ouya, and most of them have free demos, so plenty to do on the console before you start paying for games. Don't miss Amazing Frog, Maldita Castilla, Super Crate Box, Towerfall, No Brakes Valet, Potatoman Seeks the Troof, I could go on..
At least the game library offers "Another World", a very old but very good game!
If OUYA came out today, it would be a success due to the popularity of some mobile games like PUBG, Fortnite and Apex Legends which should get a mobile port soon. I could imagine to buy one to play those games on my TV.
PFFT
Just tried to update mine, worked fine until the reboot, and now displays jumbled lines until it shuts itself off. Last day to update, and it bricks itself. Typical.
I remember that Julie "Television" Urhman.
Makes me think of things like the Commodore CDTV(which was basically an Amiga 500 with the keyboard chopped off, and a CD drive in place of the floppy, it also cost £700, more than twice as much as an A500) and the Phillips CDi.
These things weren't consoles according to the makers, but multimedia machines. Most of the software was like MS Encarta and etc. that they had to know was never gonna shift many machines when you could just buy an A500 and cheap CD drive to do the same job. The games were even worse, just being games you could buy for half the price on A500 on 2 floppies then bloated with CD music, literally none of the games made genuine use of the extra space.
If no one's mentioned it yet, alan keys are much easier if you put the short end into the screw. You can just twirl it around with your index finder.
I believe there's a RetroArch build dedicated to Ouya, that's the first thing you should check. This might be the best budget SBC for emulation right now!
Thing plays every game from Atari to dreamcast to HDMI right out of the box. Back in 2012. Its like the Classic everything. Even works with every controller. Sony , Xbox, PC it don't matter all work.
im really impressed that theres no some type of retroarch for this device, i mean its a tegra device.
Could you try installing LineageOS on it and see how well it works for the low cost, and see if it's better than, say, a Raspberry Pi for emulation?
Neither are great, it would have input lag on both platforms.
Love your channel man you always bring original content instead of following the crowd.
I bought this LAST WEEK!!!!!. The only good games are Raiden collection, some indie running games and finally some godawful mobile Alien vs Predator game!!!!
the CEO of Ouya was the biggest corporate tool ever, she had no idea what the video game industry is about. In an interview she said that the OUYA controller has a touchscreen as if that was a unique and game breaking feature. The interviewer told her the PS4 has one as well and her face just dropped and she had no idea how to respond!!! It was priceless
More like OOFYA
as a PC gamer, there are two reasons this console appeals to me, hence why i bought one.
Amazing Frog and Duck Game
On steam I have 200 hours in Duck Game, and 150 in Amazing Frog, both of which originally started on the ouya
Ouya was awesome :) I used mine as an emulator box before raspberry pi's etc took off :) No reason to use it these days but in its day I gave it plenty of use
Well I've heard there was a secret chord

I'm still sorta surprised it didn't succeed in a niche market. If it was more of a media center device for streaming, that could have saved it. I wanted one, just didn't have an HDTV at the time. Even now, my main HTPC is primarily for streaming and indie games on steam. I've completely given up on the main consoles and big game companies tbh.
4:22 Damn it, I've been pronouncing Ethernet wrong this whole time :-(
