I've been seeing multiple ads about the gamebox/minibox on Facebook and I'd like to know what you guys think?

To those who don't know what it is, it's an emulator that runs several old consoles up to the PS1/N64 era. They go for RM400 at the minimum and you get the emulator (which I think runs on RasPi), a couple of controllers, casing, hdmi cables etc. It also comes with an sd card that is preloaded so you can play right away or you could change the games you want to play if you have the ISO.

Do you know anyone who has it here?
I was thinking that it might be a good gadget to bring around when traveling.

remember, emulation ain't perfect, and it wont be snappy as using android on your phone

better off with nSwitch if you can

i like rPI alot, but using it as piracy platform..haih. hopefully it wont ruin rPi name, just like how Kodi got tranished by piracy due to irresponsible people like this

How is emulation on android?

I'm still using an S4, so I might consider using it for emus later when/if I upgrade.

I've decided against the Game/miniboxes since I could get a nswitch for just a little bit more.
