little box that could!

this thing is just precious! cheap, easy to start and reliable. I was looking for something lightweight to evoke 80's and 90's nostalgia and this little box is perfect for that. hooked it up to Retropie and it was up and running within minutes. PROS - super fast small form factor no case fan (but you can add one if you want, don't really need an easily identifiable peripheral (Logitech keyboard and USB controller) Cons: no power button. (biggest bone head movement ever) but you can buy one on amazon for a few dollars. the learning curve of the linux operating system is certain. if it weren't for the lack of an on/off switch, i would have given that five stars. i didn't use the noobs that came with it. i only have the pre-installed one Deleted image and installed Retropie. Now I can play all my favorite games from the 80's and 90's. This thing runs flawlessly from Atari to Sega CD. Just google "retropie" and you should be able to find all the information about find what you need. It's as easy as installing an ISO image onto a micro SD card. Very easy and fun for the last year. I've been playing in classic E Retail stores for NES and SNES searched and searched Nintendo, in its "wisdom" decided to release just a few of these. I didn't want to go to ebay and pay 2x, 3x or 4x what the console was worth. So I went that route and I'm glad I did. This set had everything I needed and I was playing my favorite classics in minutes. Get one today, these little cars are big!
