I love given up on fire stick and got two of these . Fires ticks aren’t what they use to be anymore they constantly crash and stop working all together especially the remote so the fact you can pair your console remotes to use is hands down a win win for the onn Android box

It's worth adding that this little box also has a mode on the display settings to change to game mode. Which makes gaming very smooth. Also, as it's running Android 13 it's one of the few android boxes which allows a PS5 controller to be connected when using PlayStation remote play

These are going to be great to give as gifts, thank you so much for doing the tutorial

Pretty cool! I have one of these and didn’t know that RetroArch was on here! I love retro emulation especially with a Raspberry Pi and will have to try this out! Thank you!

Noice. I would have expected up to 4th gen consoles, that is awesome it can rock some n64.

I find retroarch to be difficult too use, so I will go with the individual emulators on google play.

I just got one of these onn android box and tried to install RetroArch on it. Originally it didn't detect the USB stick until I went into developer mode and have the USB debugging on and the bottom section to allow USB read/write from apps.

What is super annoying is that when going to RetroArch when trying to browse for a rom, can't get back to the previous screen from the white remote control. Every time press the left back button it just show a black screen. Is there a certain button that needs to be pressed or a setting change?

Tried adding a blu tooth game remote. It takes a while and every time after it reboots it needs to connect back again. Is there a setting that would have it remember the connections?

Any tips now that retroarch is outdated (for now) ?

Retroarch kept crashing for me it might have been the 3k games I had on my USB or I had the 1st Gen box.

does it have a browser? I want to search and watch movies or anime on my tv

Is the download apps still available in app store?I saw a lot of people were saying that it got removed

Too underpowered to truly be emulation device and Google has removed external storage access, stick to streaming device and be happy.
