I’m gonna be honest, I don’t even know what this thing really is other than it used to be $400 and it can be hacked 🤷🏻‍♂️ I briefly looked into it at launch, I liked the aesthetic, but saw the price and passed. $100 though? Why not? That’s into Atari Flashback territory. - ThreadSky

Just bought one. From what I gather from research online it seems to serve as a much better Flashback with the added bonus of some modern games and apps as well as being a great platform for indie devs to get some spotlight.

I can’t get the default game package to load! It just goes into a boot loop. Frustrating…

Oh cool. Where is it $100 at? That's a price point I might jump on.

I picked on up a year or so ago when it was a hundred, but I basically use it as a Windows box. I do have it plugged into a VGA CRT though 😎

How well does it run windows? I was thinking about installing some flavor of Linux and using it as an emulation box

I added memory and an new NVME drive, and it runs well!

Was never released in EU. I still don't know why.

The gamepad is a total Xbox pad rip off. It feels a little cheap, but it’s not terrible.

The wireless joystick is pretty slick!

for under 100 bucks it's well worth it. I have two. One is the collector's edition. I believe you can use it as a stream box from your gaming pc via steam as well.

Is the plastic fading already or is it the light?

Not enough consoles utilize faux wood paneling.

FACTS!

I have a faux wood faceplate for my Xbox 360 somewhere!
