Can't wait to watch Wade completely destroy and trash anything that he buys and then come here to watch James treat junk with the best care and love for it.

James having a channel is so surreal. I love it.

"You've got to set the bar so low that if it functions you're happy." James 2023

Wade and James' styles are similar yet different enough to be able to jump from watching one to the other and it still be comfy and refreshing. it's easy to see why they're friends.

I love how this is one of those consoles that is obviously a ripoff... But yet I'd genuinely want one.

It's incredible that James' editing style while different still feel like Wade edited this for him.

This is a truly magical moment. James, I’m a huge fan of retro games and as such, consider me an eternal supporter and subscriber.

I didn’t know what to expect from the seemingly quiet James but I love these videos! You have such a great energy

I really do like the Dankpods aesthetic that James is going for. It's like an alternate universe and I really am liking it. Say hi to Wade for me!

the giant wifi router is now modem sized, incredible

I'm so glad there's more content from you two guys in total

James keep up the epic vids man, I like watching stuff of this kind. I find your calm disposition entertaining and refreshing

I love watching people open and review bootleg stuff

These three videos were such a treat to watch. Please consider making more!

Loved the unboxing by shaking the box & hearing everything bang around. Perfect sounds of bootleg stuff from the flea market

The housing is actually quite cool, it'd be great to set up a little Raspberry Pi in there to emulate PS1 games. Incidentally, please tell us the names of your cats, they're beautiful beasts and I love them already.

I absolutely love the little.. mannerisms you inherited from Wade, but you’ve like- messed with them and made everything into your own. As someone who’s super into retro consoles, I absolutely love this channel so far. Also, the cat trills- I love them-

I can't wait to see more. Be it more bootlegs or classic game stuff. I love these kinda down home "watch me break something and I'll show you how it works" kinda things

the cat cameos at the end of your videos are so nice i love it

Nice to have two fellow South Aussies post good quality KZfaq content. Happy to see you on here and can’t wait for more!

Everyone has memories of kicking back with the boys on a Saturday night and playing some Super X Game 360 classics, good times

fuck yeah. I loved watching Ashens and Dank do stuff on bootlegs and now I have another man with a funny accent looking at garbage. Truly my life is good.

Going forward, It would be awesome to see you take apart more tech at a component level and explain things about them! I love hearing about how you can just jump wired from one trace to another to make something work and things like that! :D

Hope to see more tear down and "rebuild" content! As a electronics guys myself this satisfices a itch for me.

Thank you for describing what is inside the electronics in your videos. I've always wondered what makes them tick lol

I like how James ends every video with his cat meowing.

Found your content randomly!! On the level of Dankpods with aussie boys and tech, love your content!! Keep it up!!

I love seeing James finally have a channel, it’s a dream come true. Dank started my headphone addiction and audiophile setup. Now, James has a channel and I’m going to end up with a vintage “vydia” game collection lol, I’ve never been happier

Love the solo James content! Hopefully James' channel can grow fast; definitely a hidden gem.

ah yes my favorite GS5 game 3

This is awesome! Love your channel already, so excited you started one - can’t wait to see what you get up to next! Congratulations!

This was great. I love all your retro and mechanical knowledge with these things. Keep on it james, I'm excvited for more videos.

I love how the link from Wade's channel is broken at the moment. Love this stuff haha (Don't ask how I was already subscribed way before...)

Always anticipating the cat bit at the end!

This channel is literally everything I hoped it would be. The scuffed but somehow working projects, the calm and collected nature of James, and the chaos of the things he can create all creates a perfect package Personally I would recommend adding some background music While you're not playing games or anything just so there's something to fill the void, but that's just my preference

While this whole video is amazing, the thing that will make me a subscriber is your personality. The balance between humour and earnestness (saving the bug!) is just perfect!

yooooo this is sick, glad to see more vintage game nerds around

I love wades influence on this but also got your own style! Great vid!

Thank you for saving the little bug!! Also this kinda reminded me of older johntron videos. You're doing great with editing and just starting!!!

James' Channel. The channel we didn't know we needed. Good on ya mate, love to see it.

This reminds me of when my parens bought me a genuine POLYSTATION 1. It came with 2 cartriges of old NES games. Good to see these bootlegs still going strong and getting with the times.

Aw yeah, James, as soon as I saw that little bit of your collection in Wade's video, I knew I had to sub. Proper collection you've got, honestly terrifying at points because of all the old screens and every N64 colour (I think, maybe you're missing the blue JP one, couldn't actually tell) and that huge pop n music machine. Video style itself is like a more calm Ashens, which is probably what you went for, and that's all right with me. Subbed, mate.

loved your tidbits of knowledge that are sprinkled throughout the video. Awesome vid, i'm so excited for more in the future :))

oh my goshh!!! he is so calm and soft spoken!!! this is incredible have a new channel to relax to before sleep, this is honestly everything i wanted ;-; thank you

Wooooooo, James we're so excited to see where this channel goes!!!

Glorious introduction into YouTubing James, can’t wait to see more from you.

I am so so so excited by what you’ve uploaded so far! Wonderful start to the channel and I’m so excited to see what else you do!

this is so epic seeing james make his own videos ❤

A lot of these interesting Famiclones having really weird and obscure Demakes/NES "Ports" really make em a cool piece of hardware in my book. Maybe one day we will run into the Infamous Somario or Super Mario World NES.

This really gave me retro Jontron vibes, loving the content James!

I love e-waste and now I get to see new and old e-waste. Thanks James!

Growing up in Chile meant that you got a new of this every time you asked for a new gen console. PS2? Nah mate get your Poly Station. Xbox360? Game Station looks damn god if you ask me. And probably the funniest thing was that they all came with new cartridges but I always used the same one that had like 15 games or so. Glad you have your own channel now too James! Can't wait for more chaotic content. Oh also I should let you know that I treat my SNES like the holy grail so your portable SNES video broke something deep inside my core as a human being. That's exactly what I was expecting.

Found James by chance. Only have heard of DankPods from the ColdOnes Podcast. Looking forward to the videos

For sure, those are some of the games of all time.

i love this channel already. Simple, clean, fun. And cats at the end. What is there more to need?

this rules! glad you made a channel, james. i’m really into collecting retro games and stuff as well (and fixing them!), but my collection’s nowhere near as impressive as yours. i love bootlegs a lot, so i hope you show off some more weirdo stuff!

So I just watched all 3 videos and they were all really good. I like the good variety of content that all fit under a similar umbrella. The only thing I would say that's missing is background music, something that just helps fill in the void. Other than that, these are great! Can't wait to see what you come up with in the near future! (Side note, I find it kinda funny that your desk is basically just the opposite of the Dankpod's channel rocking the Red rather than the green iPad)

I'm so glad James has a channel now I have more to watch

James for the love of everything holy keep uploading stuff like this.

So, after these 3 videos, I came to a conclusion . James is the youtuber you watch to chill down and relax before going to sleep . Wade is the youtuber you watch after waking up .

Please introduce us to your cats, they're adorable! I didn't know these were called Famiclones, but it makes sense. My one is a proper clone that I won from a Japanese crane game. It has 50 games, and has a slot for Famicom cartridges. It's such a fun, novel little thing, but I still want this GS5 too.

Pretty solid opening with these three videos, Mr. James. I look forward to seeing what else you mess around with.

The intro is so dankpods style i love it!

More cat content please :) Also a game room tour would be sweet

HE EXISTS PRAISE HIM

I love the calm way of explaining things 😊

Kitty at end of video is greatly appreciated, awesome channel!

Imagine having to tell your boys to hop on the super x game 360

You need to trim those fingernails my guy

Amazing watch, thank you James!

I love that James it's making these videos, i would watch them all the time since I love a lot james and his crazy inventions

The Gay Station 5??

It feels like im in a parallel universe when i watch james channel and i absolutely love it

YAAAA JAMESS ngl the games are very smooth on that

I love James Channel. The red background and overhead camera angle makes it feel like dankpods cousin or something.

Wholesome bug relocation, 10/10 best video

Excellent work James! i love how you use the red desk, its an iconic style.

I really enjoyed your videos so far, I wish you good luck with your channel!! Also enjoy the short cat clips to end the vids

Proper DankSpinoff channel - love it

this channel is a gift from the dank gods. thank you dank gods. thank you. love the monitor choice btw 👌

This is so surreal it’s like a fusion of Rerez and DankPods and I love it

Your Famiclone description was so good. You sound like you know your stuff. I'm excited to see your future videos.

im so glad youre making like this videos now

This is awesome, thanks James!

i have now realized that every one of james's vids end with their cat meowing and i love it

Like, I always wanted you to get your own channel. Love it.

this takes what I like about dankpods but combines it with tech, I love it

Came here from dankpods. Love your PVM dude!

James channel is like if danpods took tons of brain enhancing Xanax and became a car/electronic god. And I love it. Looking forward to many more videos james

Post more im so hooked on this

“It’s like negative weight!” My new favorite James quote

My new life mantra. “If it functions, you’re happy”

Pretty awesome that with just 3 videos in 12 hours, James reached over 30k subscribers. Very much deserved! Can’t wait for more!

Another great addition to the glorious trash family. Life is good and I am immediately subscribed.

James! JAMES! We need more vidyas these were hilarious 😆

James please never stop making videos, I swear I can watch just james all the time

all we need now is a video dedicated to your cats that ends with a clip of you saying "meow" in the most deadpan manner possible

Having cats at the end of your videos is a nice touch, I like it :3

Three videos, all posted 3 hours ago, in a channel that was recently made, and all those videos have 3k+ views and counting. GOD BLESS YOU, JAMES!

James i would like to thank you because i am going on a long flight in like 5 hours and you reminded me to charge and bring my ds lite
