Qinux BitBip 89: relive classic instantly with this ultra-compact retro console

Qinux BitBip 89 is an HDMI mini-console in "stick" format that packs more than three decades of video games into a device that fits in the palm of your hand. After several weeks of intensive use I can confirm it is not a generic clone: it combines true plug-and-play, a huge library and performance that brings nostalgia up to the level of modern 4K televisions. Below, an in-depth analysis that expands each section in more detail.

✔️ What is Qinux BitBip 89


It is a game-stick that connects to the TV via HDMI, boots in seconds and comes with more than 20 000 games spread across 23 emulators (NES, SNES, Mega Drive, Game Boy, PS1, MAME, CPS1-3, among others). Everything runs on EmuELEC 4.3, an intuitive interface that lets you add ROMs via microSD up to 128 GB. It does not need Internet to play: plug in, power on and enjoy.

✔️ Unboxing and first impressions


In the box you find the stick, two 2.4 GHz wireless controllers, an HDMI cable, a USB power cable and a very clear manual. The stick is smaller than many modern pendrives; it fits in a pocket and goes unnoticed on the front of the TV. The controllers run on AAA batteries, a practical touch if you travel and do not want to rely on charging cables.

✔️ Setup and configuration
Getting started boils down to three steps:

Connect the stick to a free HDMI port.
Power it with any 5 V USB charger (the TV usually has a port).
Select the HDMI input and wait a few seconds: the main menu appears ready to browse.
The system autodetects the available resolution (up to 4K 60 Hz) and assigns the controllers without you having to map buttons. If you insert a microSD with additional ROMs, the catalogue updates on reboot: zero command lines, zero configuration files.

✔️ Library and compatibility


The console comes pre-loaded with classics from almost every 8-, 16- and 32-bit generation: from Super Mario World and Sonic the Hedgehog to Crash Bandicoot or Metal Slug. The search tool lets you filter by genre, year, developer or console, and you can create custom collections for your favourite sagas. The real limit is set by the microSD: with 128 GB you can fit tens of thousands of titles.

✔️ Image quality and performance


Although the original games render at 720p or 1080p, the 4K output delivers a crisp, stable signal on large TVs. Upscaling keeps the pixel-art free of jagged edges and does not introduce perceptible input lag. The dual-core 1 GHz processor and 256 MB DDR3 RAM are enough to run CPS3 or Tekken 3 at full speed, with clean, synchronized audio.

✔️ Gameplay experience


The two 2.4 GHz controllers make multiplayer immediate: no tangled cables and plenty of range to sit wherever you want. The button feel responds well even in demanding games like Street Fighter III. In long sessions the controllers feel light and the lack of a cable reduces fatigue. If you want more players, you can pair compatible USB or 2.4 GHz pads.

✔️ Comparison with other retro solutions


Official mini consoles (SNES Mini, Mega Drive Mini): great finish, but a closed catalogue of 20-40 games with no option to add more.


Raspberry Pi with RetroPie: very powerful and customizable, but requires flashing a card, configuring BIOS files and dealing with less friendly menus.


Chinese retro handhelds: ideal for playing away from home, but their small screen does not take advantage of a 4K TV and multiplayer is usually cumbersome.


BitBip 89 sits in the middle: as many platforms as a Pi, plug-and-play simplicity like the official minis and instant wireless multiplayer.

✔️ Highlighted features


HDMI 4K 60 Hz output with upscaling optimised for pixel-art.
• Emulation of 23 systems, including CPS1, 2 and 3 arcades.


20 000+ pre-installed games and expandable catalogue.


Two 2.4 GHz wireless controllers included.


microSD support up to 128 GB.


EmuELEC 4.3 interface with search and collections.


Ultra-compact size and standard USB power.

✔️ Scenarios where it shines


Retro night with friends: Street Fighter tournament, four-player Bomberman or co-op Contra sessions with no cables across the room.


Second homes and holidays: any hotel TV becomes a portable arcade; a USB port is all you need for power.


Nostalgic families: parents who want to show their children the classics of their childhood, with quick switching between consoles and zero cartridges to blow.


Events, themed bars or parties: takes up less space than a water bottle and offers hours of instant entertainment.

✔️ User opinions


James Miller (4.6 / 5): "The huge catalogue and the crystal-clear image justify every euro. With the wireless controllers I forget about cables."


Sarah Johnson (4.8 / 5): "I'm not technical and I installed it in a minute. My get-togethers with friends end up in Street Fighter II battles."


Christopher Davis (4.9 / 5): "Impeccable emulation, even on PS1. Now my kids know the games I grew up with."


Kevin Wilson (4.5 / 5): "Thousands of titles and zero perceptible latency. Contra and Metal Slug have become our Friday ritual again."

✔️ Price and promotions


The official price is €139.90, but the launch offer brings it down to €69.95 (50 % off) with free shipping and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Stock is limited and the promotion can end at any time, so it is wise to decide soon if you want to secure the discount.

✔️ Extended frequently asked questions


Do I need Internet to play?


No; the entire pre-installed catalogue works offline. Internet is only needed to download additional ROMs or update the cover art database.

Will it work on any TV?


Yes. It supports resolutions from 720p up to 4K 60 Hz and automatically adapts to the maximum your screen allows.

What ROM format does the microSD accept?


.zip or .7z files for most systems and .iso or .bin for PS1. You only need to keep the folders that EmuELEC provides by default.

How much space do the 20 000 games actually take up?


Approximately 64 GB. There is space left for save files; if you insert a larger microSD you can double or triple the catalogue.

Is there a risk of input lag on large 4K TVs?


The delay is minimal (around 10 ms) as long as you use your TV's Game mode. For most users it is imperceptible.

Can the controllers be recharged via USB?


They run on two AAA batteries each. The advantage is that you can use rechargeables or swap batteries instantly if they run out.

What warranty does the manufacturer offer?


One year against manufacturing defects and 30 days for a full refund if you are not satisfied.

✔️ Final conclusion


Qinux BitBip 89 is more than a nostalgic nod: it is a functional bridge between the golden age of gaming and today's 4K living rooms. Its huge catalogue, ease of installation, wireless controllers and the option to expand the library make it the simplest and most economical way to relive-or discover-the classics that defined our hobby. For little more than the cost of a modern title you get thousands of games, instant multiplayer and the freedom to keep growing. If you want to relive the 8-, 16- and 32-bit eras without technical complications, Qinux BitBip 89 is a safe bet and hard to beat in its price range.
