I like the clock on front. Not a gimmick, it's actually functional.

My family had a DVD player with an LED clock display. I would've prefered one over an LCD.

@iamthetinkerman 3 года назад

It's impossible for a clock to be a gimmick!

@MangoTangoFox 4 года назад

I like the clock on the front. Very few devices actually have that now, I'd bet most techy people don't have a clock in their livingroom at all unless they have one of those alexas/googlehomes with the touchscreen.

@kenabi 4 года назад

i have an ipad mini1 that i literally just use as a huge digital clock. any old-ish tablet of any size can be used for this purpose if its too old to be a meaningful regular use device, most of them will still run with permanent power applied even if the battery is shot. that said, i do appreciate having a random clock to glance at most directions i would happen to look in the house.

Yeah, I really wish more set-top boxes (and even HTPC cases/RPi cases now that I think about it) had this functionality :(

Emuelec is mostly done by 1 person, so if N64 runs ok on Android that means it may not be optimized yet on Emuelec.

@Jonathan-fs7es 4 года назад

I like this one even the cheaper model with a cheap controller could be a fun little box for a kid to play a ton of older games (32GB would hold everything 16 bit and down and a selection of PS1 games no problem.) This one is tempting for me, might grab it for my grandson and spend a couple of days setting it up for him. Just need to grab a Xbox controller.... Still for what a little over a 100 bucks? Better than most of the "Classic" consoles combined :P

Great video. Please confirm what is the latest Android security update this box accepts. Also, does it allow you to login with a Google G Suite account? I tested an Android box in 2019 which would allow logging in with a standard GMail account but not a G Suite account. We called Google G Suite and they said the problem was with the box, not with the account. Thank you.

@acejon2162 4 года назад

The way I see it, this cheap China branded device is targeted for personal users that just wanted an Android TV Box that happens to play retro games decently, I would be surprised if it even supports regular security updates. You may be better off paying more for US branded products knowing that the big companies will invest in security and certifications on their products.

@Akuzastar 4 года назад

Yeah the explanation you made for emuelec didnt work, I did everything right but it just didn't work, not your fault, however, retro arch works great on it. Just need to configure the right buttons on Your controller. And you can still add roms via the SD card.

I got one of these after seeing an earlier video. Pretty good for the money. The biggest issue for me is controller issues. I got a gamesir controller with dongle that didn't work, an 8bitdo Bluetooth controller that wouldn't connect. A 360 controller with dongle that won't connect. Only way I can play is with wired PS4 controller in emuelec. Oh, and I had to ram a cocktail stick in the AV Jack to get it to boot off the sd card. For some reason, N64 games run like crap on emuelec on this box (well, some do. You need a calendar to measure the framerate on Rush 2049). Dreamcast works better, as do all the 8 and 16 bit systems I tried.

Both Android or Emuelec should have similar performance when running same emulator cores, if there's any difference it would be up to the developers to optimise the emulators. The advantage of emuelec is that you boot directly into a nice frontend and straightaway select system and game.
