Experience the advanced processing power and compatibility of the Raspberry Pi 4 alternative, perfect for running the most complex applications. Perfect for tech-savvy users, its lightning-fast speed and memory make it ideal for gaming, media streaming, and intensive computing tasks. Get ready for sophisticated high-performance with this powerful mini computer. 

This is a multi-purpose entertainment box allowing you to emulate old classic systems as well as installing Android apps and games. Brand new Android mini media box with quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM is able to emulate 8-bit, 16-bit, and some 32 and 64-bit systems, overall covering over 35 systems and it can play games up to the PS1 and DC era.
This system would be classified as a budget device, based on the price to performance ratio it exceeds its expectations, keeping in mind that this unit has only 2GB of RAM it is still capable of emulating retro systems of 8-32 bit well, systems such as N64 or newer will usually pose problems with such devices as N64 requires much more powerful hardware of at least 4-8GB ram and 4-8 cores on the CPU but the majority of games we tested ran fine and we're playable.
The Emuelec system has been pre-configured and is plug and play. Supporting close to 17,000 titles and roughly 35+ systems with artwork, many themes are also available for download.
If you are looking for a gaming system that is affordable and can play older generation systems then this will suffice.
This system can also be used as an Android streaming box if you wish to take out the SD card and use it that way as well.
These little units do get hot while operating and we've applied copper heat sinks to the RAM to improve the cooling, we've also discovered that flipping the unit over to allow for radiation of heat upwards will also help with the cooling as well, ideally such units would benefit from small cooling fans or larger radiators which the manufacturer could've added.

What's included:
*X96 Mini with all original content and packaging, HDMI cable, remote control, power supply
*128GB micro SD card pre-configured with Emuelec
*1 SNES/Famicom style USB controller, (you can also use an additional controllers with wireless support or wired by plugging into the additional USB port. Although this unit does have bluetooth support, we have not tested its ability to support Bluetooth controllers.
Why is this console better than the stock version?
**Streamlined frontend which is an easy and smooth menu scrolling and viewing the various box art, no need for installing and running multiple apps and time-wasting through the menu selection.
**User-friendly user interface with game art and descriptions, better functionality, and responsive input while giving it a professional look which makes it much more appealing aesthetically.
**Optimized gameplay, emulators are able to support more titles and run much better compared to the old factory OS which was poorly designed and limited the power of the quad core processor and GPU, we can also select various "cores" to run certain titles more efficiently (especially N64).
**Additional game features such as save and load states, aspect ratio changes, shaders, bezel options, controller input lag and sensitivity adjustment and much more.
**Hardware modification with copper heatsinks keeps the unit cooler and has a noticeable performance increase compared to the stock model and keeping the temperatures optimal.
**Future updates, themes, third-party apps for systems like Openbor and ports, bezels, wireless updates are streamlined within the main menu.

Please beware that this unit was not originally intended to support newer systems such as Dreamcast or N64, although the current software can support most of those system titles, it does not mean they will all run 100% smoothly as some titles are easier to emulate than others, you may, however, experiment with changing emulator cores and adjusting core settings to get the best out of the system, we were able to get smooth emulation on some difficult to emulate games by doing so and the online community of Emuelec has a lot of information on this as well, perhaps in the future we will also see better software support for 100% flawless emulation.
Hardware capability:
For the majority of the classic systems from 8-bit, 16-bit and some 32-bit systems emulation is a breeze however systems such as Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast will often test the hardware to its limits and you may notice some frame rate drops and sound crackling for a select few games, at the moment there are not many handhelds that can emulate every single Nintendo 64 or Dreamcast title smoothly. PlayStation titles however for the most part will run very smoothly without any major frame rate drops or system incompatibilities.

Emuelec: also includes excellent box art and game descriptions and game-specific bezels as shown in the photos, the artwork gives this system a professional look and it's very appealing to play on the widescreen on a 4x3 aspect ratio and utilizing the extra space for bezel artwork, over 16k titles.
