    Can we just take a minute to appreciate that most of these systems cost $200 and $300 new, and we can now emulate most of them perfectly on a $20 board that fits in a pocket and can run for days on batteries that wouldnt even turn on the original systems? Leading and bleeding edge tech steals the spotlight, graphics cards with higher resolution than the human eye can see, pulling more and more power, throwing off enough heat to cook over, with ever higher price tags. I find the leaps forward made by this "back end" of SBCs and emulation to be far more impressive.

    • @Kynareth6

  • @billcook4768

    Does this monitor equivalent to Aero Oled screen ? (if you experience it)
    I think, there is one thing important missing ; a tilt or gyroscope inside the monitor. this is a must have option for android phone connection if you want to use it like a tablet .

    Hey Taki, I received my board and loaded the Orange Pi Android image as my OS. Completely agree with you that the interface is terrible and went the ATV route instead. One question I have is how do you safely power down from Android? I couldn’t find any options for a shut down in either the stock interface nor in ATV.
    Would hate to pull the plug to shut off each time and risk corrupting the SD card.
    Thanks in advance

I have a second OrangePi Zero with Transmission & DLNA Server to stream trough wifi to my Smart TV. Due the great results with them I bought a OrangePi Zero2, but Linux images from OrangePi are very old and bad maintained; I’ll try with Android 😉 and wait for Armbian releases for it.

    Very Nice performance on CPU/GPU for retro emulation. I'd totally recommend the 1GB RAM version for just $3 bucks more.

      Wired or bluetooth. No battery, you supply power with a usb type c cable.

    Gaaaah I just got paid yesterday Taki, why must you tempt me so. Does this bad boy have the circuit for adding a LiPo built in or would I have to add that?

      Could just get a 5v Lipo and then USB c it if needed.

    That's insanely cheap. I even managed to save an extra $4 on shipping with promo codes on AliExpress. Its barely more expensive than a Raspberry Pi Zero W, yet comes close to Pi 4 performance.
