Today we came across the Powkiddy Y6 stick on AliExpress, a tiny retro console based on the AMlogic S905X2 SoC, one of the best options for a retro console.
Today we discovered in stores a new and peculiar TV-Stick with Linux with the well-known EmuELEC 4.3 system already pre-installed and ready to run all kinds of retro games. A device that, as we can see, has a gaming design in its outer box, emulating a gamepad. By default, it also has two Gamepads to be able to play doubles to the titles that we want. A simple solution for those who want to buy something already prepared and ready to play hundreds of classic retro games.
